-Yasmin's parents cabin-

Yasmin sat next to Lilee cuddling in front of the fire. They had a pretty good day. They hiked up the mountain where the cabin was. They had a picnic in a lush meadow that had yellow flowers all around, there was also a breeze that made the day perfect. But at the moment it was raining out side and they were inside warm.

"So how did you convince your parents to let me come up here with you?" Lilee asked almost falling asleep.

"I promised that we would sleep in different rooms and that I would fix up this place a bit. You get to help." Yasmin said smiling.

"Oh so you got me out here doing some dirty deed?" Lilee joked.

"Or we could do a different dirty deed." Yasmin said playfully.

"I'm waiting for marriage. You know that." Lilee said nesting her self closet to Yasmin.

"I know but a girl can only hope to catch you off guard and you'll say yes." Yasmin said enjoying Lilee's company.

"Well your not and you know that." Lilee said.

"How 'bout we get drunk? Then would you change your mind?" Yasmin asked.

"Maybe." Lilee said with a smile.

"I'll get the wine." Yasmin said jumping up off the couch to get the bottle of wine that was in the kitchen.

Coming back with the wine Yasmin asked a question. "Have you told your 'rents yet that your gay?"

"No and I plan on them to be totally clueless about it." Lilee said grabbing the wine glass.

"Don't they wonder why you hang with me and act the way you do?" Yasmin asked poring the red wine in the glass.

"Well they know your gay, just they don't know I'm gay. That's two different things." She said taking a sip of wine. It was kind of fruity.

"Oh well maybe you need to tell them." Yasmin said.

"Why such eagerness?" Lilee asked.

"No reason. I just brought you out her so that maybe I could give you this." She said handing Lilee a small box. It was crushed velvet colored a deep royal blue. It looked like a ring box.

"This isn't what I think it is, is it?" Lilee asked holding the small box.

"Lilee will, will you marry me?" Yasmin said as she knelt down next to her, Yasmin's hands over Lilee's that held the box.

"Marriage? We aren't even out of high school. And cant gays not marry?" Lilee said looking at Yasmin as her face dropped.

"But I love you Lilee. And you love me back too right?" Yasmin asked with hope.

"I do but-"

"Then it's a perfect idea." Yasmin said with a smile. "Now open the box and look at the ring."

Slowly Lilee opened the small box. What she saw blow her away. It was small silver band with a heart shaped diamond. It wasn't to big or to small. It was perfect. And even though it was suppose to be an engagement ring she couldn't help but take the ring out and slip it on her ring finger. "Oh Yasmin is so beautiful." She mused.

"It took me weeks to decide. I hope you change your mind about my question." Yasmin said staring in Lilee's eyes.

"I-I Don't know what to say. I-can this be a promise ring? A promise ring to get married after I graduate?" Lilee asked hopeful.

This brought a smile to Yasmin's face. "Yes. Yes, I wouldn't want anything other than that." She said embracing her in a hug.

They stayed up until 3 am drinking wine and being merry. Lilee had never been this smashed and didn't remember what happened the night before when she woke up at 12 pm. Yasmin was laying next to her in the bed that they shared. She didn't relies that she was naked until she made it into the bathroom.

'Did I just?' She thought. She got extremely worried and quickly got dressed. She hopped she didn't do what she thought she did and if she did then she knew that she had to be bound to Yasmin. It wouldn't be right with any one else. But at the same time as she walked out to the out side porch she thought of Iden.

She felt almost guilty that she would do it with her girlfriend and then have thoughts of Iden. She wasn't suppose to be thinking this. If she did in fact do what she thought she did then she had no reason to think about Iden, right? But the harder she thought about things the more wrong it felt being with Yasmin. So for the moment she sat on the porch crying with muddled feelings. She looked down at the promise engagement ring. How she wanted to chuck the thing in the woods but didn't want to throw away what she had with Yasmin.

"I hate you Iden." She sneered as she fell asleep against a pillar.

That Sunday was a very quite one for Lilee She wanted to be happy and fun as Yasmin was being but she couldn't with out thinking about Iden. Yasmin drove back into town, their ride was near silent. Lilee just starred at her ring the whole time, Yasmin glancing at Lilee every so often.

'Maybe it was too soon to give her the ring?' Yasmin thought as she neared Lilee's house.

"Well I'll call you later k?" Lilee said to Yasmin as they stopped in front of her house.

"Yeah I'll be waiting." Yasmin said as she kissed Lilee. The kiss was very awkward though. This ring changed everything.
