Sorry for making you wait, this is for Dizzy Dreamer and all those others who've asked countless times for me to finish this
"What the hell?" I breathed softly "Was John going soft?" I wondered
My heart melted as I slipped the ring on my index finger, it must have cost a fortune as it was white gold with a square cut sapphire in the centre framed by four dew drop shaped diamonds.
I couldn't quite believe that it was for me, no-one had ever thought I was special enough to buy me something this beautiful before. Holding my hand up the sapphire sparkled in the light, I couldn't believe something so expensive sat on my finger.
Very carefully I took it off and placed it back in the box, instead of going home I showered in the changing rooms before heading down the pub.
I found John sat with Don and the others, waving me over I saw he'd already got a drink for me
"I might not have wanted a beer!"
"Trust me you do" He replied
"You're right though" I laughed, sliding into a seat next to him "I wanna talk to you"
"Really? You've been talking to me all day"
"Yeah, later on, wanna relax first" I laughed again before taking a long draught of my beer
"Who would have thought those two would get on so well?" Kerry remarked to Duncan
"Weird" Duncan rumbled in agreement
"Someone jealous?" I stuck my tongue out at Kerry
"What is up with you this evening? You feeling alright?"
"I'm hyper, its John's fault, he gave me Jelly Beans"
"Calm down, you'll get a slap" Both John and Kerry said together
"Drinks anyone, rounds on me, same again?"
I returned with the drinks and most of them decided to play pool, winner takes on John as he's brilliant at it;
"What's with the ring then?" I leant close to John to prevent anyone else overhearing
"What ring?"
"Don't play innocent John, I found it and the note, why?" I was deadly serious
"Just because I can, because I saw it and thought of you, is that a crime?"
"Yes, it bloody is, I'm not worth it, why spend so much on me?" I glared at John
"Because I wanted to, you are special, especially to me" John looked hurt
"Right, I've got to get home, I might see you tomorrow, if not see you Wednesday" I blew him a kiss as I joined the others "I'm off, I'll see you all Wednesday" I could feel John's eyes on me as I left the pub
"Claire wait!"
I turned round to see John jogging after me, I stopped by my car
"What's up?"
"Look, if you really don't like the ring, I can take it back, it's not a problem"
"Oh John" I laughed "I love it, I really do, I'm just not used to people buying me things, no one ever finds me special enough to buy me something, especially not a ring that beautiful"
"Well I do, I was only trying to show you how special you really are"
"Really? You think I'm special?"
"Of course I do, would I fancy you if you weren't special?"
"Thank you" I threw my arms around him
