The Only One: Chapter 19
Faith looked deep into Bosco's eyes and breathed, " Yes! OH, YES! Bos, I would love to be your wife!"
Bosco never felt more pleased with himself in his life. He had come through the storm and there waiting for him was the most beautiful woman in the world. He didn't deserve her, but for some reason she loved him. He slipped the diamond onto her finger and looked up at her, grinning wickedly.
" Ya know what this means, now dontcha" he asked, raising his eye brows up and down.
" No". Faith said, rolling her eyes in mock annoyance. The truth was that she didn't care. She was too happy to let one of his male chauvanistic jokes rob her of this moment.
He sat back on the bed, crossing his arms over his chest, only this time he was being smug ( in a joking way, of course).
" Let's see". He said, putting his finger over his mouth, pretending to think about it. " Well, first off, you know that you will now be my woman-servant, right?"
He moved to the side, dodging her arm that was playfully trying to swat him. " Hey now". he said, holding his hands over his face". " That's one strike. You've only got two left, ya know".
Faith rolled her eyes again and pretended to pout. " Bosco, you're ruining the sanctity of this moment. Do you think you could tone it down a little". Now it was her turn to cross her arms, but this time, in a sulk.
He reached over and brought her into a hug. He kissed her cheeks and forehead and then her temples while he brought his hands up his hands up to play with her blond hair.
" Ok, what it means is that if you will let me, Faith Mitchell, I will spend every day of the rest of my life trying to make you happy. I will dedicate every breath I take to making sure that you and our child are taken care of, safe, happy and healthy". he said, with all the sincerety he could muster.
Faith was shocked to hear the words come out of him. She never knew that he could be so sweet and thoughtful. She LIKED this new Bos and she hoped to see more of him. Who knew? Maybe he really was starting to have a real sensitive side. Maybe the accident made him realize how precious every moment was. Every word, could be a gift, when said in the right way......
Just as she leaned over to capture him in a very long kiss, the afternoon nurse opened the door.
Bosco groaned, flopping back onto his pillow dramatically. " Hey there, Tracy. You sure know how to ruin a moment, don'tcha? And I can see you havn't put away those ding-dongs yet. Maybe you should call Jenny Craig......."
" And maybe you should call Pee Wee Herman. He wants his fruit-cake hair cut back. Jack-ass" she fired back.
Faith had trouble controlling her laughter. She held her hands over her mouth, in vain attempt to not burst out laughing in her fiancee's face.
He looked at Faith and pointed at her. " Ya, well it'll only be a matter of time before you're as big as her, so I don't know what you're laughing at!" he blurted.
He winced, knowing that he had blown the moment. But she didn't look too mad. " Oh well," he thought to himself,
" Ya win some. Ya lose some".
Oh, Bosco. So close, so close...but no cigar.
