The Offer

Cat opened the box and gasped at what she saw.

"Bradin." Cat said as she looked at the ring that was inside of the box. It was a small silver ring, with moons and stars engraved in the silver and a small blue topaz stone. It had a wide band.

"Now I am not asking you to marry me or anything at least not now. But it's like a promise ring."

Cat slightly laughed. "That is the kind of ring fathers give their daughters making them promise not to have sex before they are married. It's a little too late for that."

"No this promise is something more. The only reason I am not asking you to marry me is because technically, I cannot, with out my guardian's permission. Which would mean I would have to ask Ava, because I am only seventeen. But I want you in my life from now on. I want you to promise me that when we can, we will be married. I want to be part of your life, and Canan's. I want you and Canan to be part of my life." Bradin said. He picked up the ring. "It's like I am proposing, but we can't get married or anything until I'm eighteen. I have known you all of my life, since I can remember you have been there helping and caring for me. I want you there for the rest of my life, until the day that we have to part. What do you say?"

"What exactly are you asking me Bradin Westerly?" Cat asked

"To promise me that you will be married to me when I am old enough to marry you." Bradin said

"So it's like you are proposing." Cat said

"I guess it is. I want you in my life, and I need you to be there, you can Canan." Bradin said. "So, yes, or no." Bradin said sounding nervous.

"What do think?" Cat said

"I think, and hope it is a yes."

"Well you think right." Cat said.

Bradin slide the ring on her finger. Once it was on, Cat hugged Bradin tight before releasing him she kiss him.

Bradin looked into her eyes and saw that they were filled with un-fallen tears.

"Why are you crying?" Bradin asked scared that he had done something he shouldn't have.

"Because for the first time in my life, I have enjoyed my birthday." Cat said as she kissed him again.

Bradin loved the warmth that her body gave him. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her closer to him, deepening the kiss more. They were both on their sides. Cat's hand was in Bradin's hair. The other was on his neck. He moved his hands up her back running his hands up and down her back as they kissed.

Neither wanted to kiss to end up they had to at some point. They reluctantly pulled their lips apart.

Cat looked up into Bradin's eyes.

"I told you I would like your present better." Cat said with a smile on her face.

"Wait did you know?" Bradin asked

"No, but I knew that you wouldn't disappoint me. You always gave me the better presents for my birthday and holidays."

"I love you, you know that right." Bradin asked

"I love you too." Cat said.

Bradin turned out the light and they snuggled together. Cat's head ended up on Bradin's chest. One arm was underneath his body, and the other lay by her head on Bradin's chest. Bradin had his arms around her, his head just above hers.

"How did you know I was tired?" Cat asked her voice slightly muffled by Bradin's shirt

"Because I know you. That's why." Bradin said as he tightened his grip on Cat.

Which cause Cat to snuggle her head more into Bradin's chest.
