My eyes began to water. I was really engaged. I had never, never in my life though I'd be getting married. I even told Lawli early on in our relationship I didn't want to settle down, have kids, you know all the "normal" shit people do. I sat in the car, awestruck.
"Julie," Beyond said happily "I Love you more than anything"
I smiled at him. "I Love you too."
It wasn't an act anymore, I really loved him. I don't know where along the lines I fell in Love, but I did. Beyond put his hand in my thigh. I jumped at the sudden contact.
"Sorry" he mumbled.
"No, no it's fine" I replied, sincerely inviting him to touch me.
"No" he interjected "for everything, the kidnapping, the scars, starving you" he trailed off, he sounded almost as though he was going to cry. "I just didn't want you to get away from me before I could bring back your memory."
"Beyond Birthday" I said "I Love you, those things are behind the both if us" I told him, grabbing his hand. He smirked and glanced at me briefly, being sure not to look away from the road too long.
"You mean the world to me, you know that?" He chuckled.
"I must," I replied "I mean you put your life on the line to be with me"
I pondered go a moment
"What if L finds you?" I asked in a whisper.
Beyond chuckled "Trust me he won't."
I felt slightly insulted, l mean, it's true I had fallen in Love with B over these past few weeks, but I would always Love Lawli.
"You may be underestimating him" I said, staring out of the windscreen.
"I promise he won't." Beyond smoothly replied, glancing at me once more. Just then I noticed an animal on the road.
"BEYOND LOOK OUT!" I exclaimed. All I recall is him swerving, then everything went black.
L's POV
My flight finally landed after sunset. I packed up my laptop and exited the plane.
Sydney was a beautiful place, no wonder Julie had always wanted to come here. I slowly made my way to the car Watari arranged for me. I sat down and began to ponder. About me, about Julie, about our lives in general. Julie had never been very fond of marriage and I knew this, but maybe it was time we got married. We've been together so long it wouldn't be much of a change in our lives, other than the general perks of marriage. I knew I cared about this woman, more than anyone, and I know she cares about me. I lowered the glass that separated Watari and I,
"Watari" I began calmly "do you think it's at all possible for me to pick up an engagement ring by any chance?"
