September 28 -- T.K told me that he'd gotten a huge promotion and a raise. The raise included an apartment about three blocks away from his job. Then he pulled out a ring and asked me to marry him! I almost screamed my consent but I controlled myself enough to answer quietly that I would love to marry him. He kissed me until I thought the sky was exploding with fireworks and shooting stars. When we pulled apart T.K told me he loved me and he wanted us to get married soon. Its like we have the same mind and the same thoughts. We are going to bed now and tomorrow when our minds are less confused, we'll figure things out.

September 29 -- Tomorrow T.K returns home. I told him that I would continue working until I have achieved my goals. T.K asked me what my goals are. I said to be independent and show him that I could work to earn our house as well as he could. T.k looked at me then turned away, his shoulders were shaking. I went over to him, he walked away from me. I asked him what was wrong, he told me that he was sorry if he had made me feel like I was an insignificant person in our relationship or that I couldn't live without him. Tears were running down his face, I walked over to him and encircled him in my arms. Then I kissed each tear away. T.k looked down at me and smiled slowly, then he got this big grin on his face. He pulled me to the couch and picked me up, then set me down on the couch. Next he sat down beside me, he took me into his arms and held me close. Then he started to kiss me. He started on my forehead and moved down to my nose, then he placed a kiss on each cheek, next my mouth. The kiss lasted an eternity and yet no time at all. When he broke the kiss I leaned in for another. He captured my lips and kissed them with feverish passion, his tougue traced my lips, searching for access. I parted my lips and his tougue invaded my mouth, his tougue was sweet and I pushed my tougue against his. His tougue tangled with mine and my pleasure grew. I borke the deepest kiss we'd ever shared and lokked at T.K. His eyes were closed and he breathed deeply, as if to steady himself, and held me closer. I kissed his cheek and said that I needed some sleep if I was going to survive our parting in the morning. T.K nodded and helped me up. I have never sad over not sleeping with T.K until tonight, but its not the right time in our relationship to add sex to the mix.

September 30 -- T.K is gone but the ring he gave me sparkles on my finger to remind me of him. In two weeks we will tell our families. I am leaving my job here and moving back home. T.k says that this way we won't miss each other as much and I can live in our aparment before we get married. The phone is ringing adn I think it will be T.k.
(Later) -- Tai called adn told me that he and Sora are expecting a baby! I'm going to visit them when I move back. T.K wants me to sell my furniture here because of the cost of shipping it to Tokyo.I hope that I can earn enough in the next two weeks to cover the cost of shipping it to T.k's apartment.

October 14 -- I'm on my flight home. My furniture is being shipped within the week. My landlady said she was sad to see me leave because I kept to myself and I was quiet. T.k is going to pick me up at the airport. I think I'll sleep for the rest of my flight, packing sure tires you out.
(Later) -- Matt, Mimi, Tai, Sora, Mom, Dad, T.K's parents, T.k and I had dinner out at our favourite restaurant. After dessert we told everyon that we are engaged. My parents and T.k's parents were in shock and Matt and Tai just cleared their throats. Mimi and Sora looked away briefly. T.k and I looked at each other, then looked around the table at everyone. We were puzzled by their reactions. My father stood up and asked to speak to T.k privately. I didn't know at the time what was up, but when my father and T.k returned, my father hugged me and congratulated us. After this everyone congratulated us and asked us when we had gotten engaged. We told them three weeks ago, but we'd wanted to tell everyone when I could be present. Later T.k tol me that my father had simply wanted to be "asked for my hand in marriage", he's so old-fashioned about some things. He had told T.k that he was not pleased that he hadn't been consulted first. I guess Tai and Matt knew this and didn't want to encourage us until T.k had done things properly. Tomorrow we are going to tell our friends.

October 15 -- Our friends were more enthusiastic than our families. Ken announced that in honour of our engagement he would buy the champange. Davis sautered over and gave me a friendly hug and wished us the besto f luck. We told them all that they were invited, adn that we hadn't decided on any of the specifics yet.

December 21 -- Its the first day of winter and the day of Ken and Yolei's wedding! The chapel was gorgous and the cememony was as well. It was a very short ceremony, but I cried through it all. From the time Yolei walked down the aisle to meet Ken to the time they walked out together. After the ceremony we went to the reception and ate the wonderful food and drank champange and danced. T.k sure knows how to make my feet along with my heart go. He looked gorgous in his tux but I could tell that he was uncomfortable. When he walked by me trying to loosen his bow tie, I pulled him into the coatroom and kissed him like he kissed me at my apartment in Nagoya. After we broke the kiss he grinned at me and promised to try and relax and not play with is tie. I kissed his cheek and left the coatroom with T.k trailing me. Soon Ken and Yolei made their get-away for their honeymoon. T.k caught my eye and winked, I bit my lip hard to keep from smiling too big. He had just shot my body temperature through the roof. I went outside into the cool air to cool off. As I stood outside I felt T.k's arm come around me and he kissed my earlobe. I turned my face and he kissed me until my legs turned to jelly and I thought my heart would burst with love for him. We heard someone coming so we broke apart and just stood together in the moonlight. I can hardly wait for June 12th. That's the date we've picked for our wedding day.

December 25 -- Christmas Day! T.k was so sweet today. He gave me a huge hug when he walked in and then pulled me into the kiichen for a really hot kiss. When we finally got around to exchanging presents, T.k gave me a new laptop and a diamond necklace. He told me that I was like a diamond to him, just as precious and twice as sweet! Isn't that soo CUTE?!!!???! ^_^ I had a hard time deciding what to get T.k for Christmas, so I made a command decision. After his presents to me, I pulled out an envelope out of my pocket and handed it to T.k. He looked at me with questioning eyes. I simply grinned saucily at him and drroped my eyelidds sexily. T.k grinned at me and opened the envelope. He pulled out the contents and I could tell that his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I told his that he could keep that until our wedding night. T.k gulped, then rached over and grabbed me and kissed me with more passion than ever before. I tried to push him away so I could breathe, but I didn't have much luck. All in all it was a great Christmas.
