CHAPTER 9

ANDY'S POV

We arrived at the shopping center and we got out of the car and walked inside hand in hand.

"Where are we going first?" I asked Shaun. I'm not going to allow him to pay for anything today. I'm taking him out to spoil him.

"Jay Jays?" He said smiling.

"Sure." I smiled and took his hand in the direction of Jay Jays.

By the time we were done shopping we had spent a lot of money. We had brought: lots of clothes (shirts, jumpers, jackets, jeans, belts,ect), a bunch of cd's, loads of dvds, games for the wii, playstation and xbox, a set of sims 3 games for Shaun and last but not least...Food. There was only one place I wanted to stop at before we went home.

"Baby why don't you go wait in the car? I'm just going to go into the supermarket to buy some chocolate and lollies for us." I said to him lying and passing him the keys.

"Okay. Don't be to long." He replied back smiling and walking to the car.

I smiled watching him dissapear and then walked towards the jewlery store.

"May I help you?" Said the lady at the counter.

"Uh. Yes please. Can you help me find a ring for when I propouse? I'm not to good with these things." I said to her smiling. Yes. I'm going to propouse to Shaun. He is amazing and I love him and I can't see myself with anyone but him.

"Sure." Said the pretty lady. "What type of ring are you looking for?"

"I'm not sure.." I said looking at all the rings to choose from.

"Well. What does she like?" She asked coming out from behind the counter.

"He..." I said correcting her. I saw a surprised look on her face that quickly turned back into the same expression as before. "And again.. I'm not sure. I guess he'll love whatever I get him." I said looking up at her.

"Well these are our male rings." She said leading me to a set of rings. "Take a look."

I started looking through them all. None seemed right. None seemed...Well...Shaun. I kept looking until my eyes stopped right on a beautiful silver ring. It was amazing and almost as beautiful as the boy that is going to wear it... If he says yes. It looked like it was wooven with diamonds and silver. It was amazing and just perfect.

"That one. It's so perfect." I said pointing out the ring.

"Nice choice. It is a very nice ring. I'm sure your boyfriend will love it. And I'm sure he'll say yes. Who could refuse?" She said smiling and getting the ring out.

"I don't know.." I said as the realization of my decision hit me. What if he does say no? How am I going to do this? What am I going to say? It has to be special! It has to be.

"Don't stress about it." She smiled and put the ring in the box and gave it to me and I payed and walked out.

I still had no idea what to do. I pulled out my phone and looked through my phone book looking for April's number. I found it and called it.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey April it's Andy." I said and sat down on one of those seats outside of shops. I put the ring in my pocket so Shaun doesn't see it.

"I know I do have caller ID. Anyway.. What's up?" She asked sounding like her cheerful self.

"Well I just went to a jewlery shop and brought a ring... So I can propouse to Shaun.."

"OH MY GOD!" I heard her scream into the phone.

"Calm down.."

"Sorry. How are you going to do it?" She asked sounding even more cheerful if that's possible.

"I don't know... That's why I called you.." I answered.

"Hm. Well how about we meet up and I can help you?"

"Sounds great." I said with a smile.

"When are you planning on propousing?" She asked.

"Tonight.." I replied.

"That soon?! Oh well. Hmm meet me at the shops in about half an hour?" She asked and I could hear her moving around on the other end of the phone.

"Okay. I'm here already but Shaun's in the car. I'll take him home and meet you back here." I said getting up and walking towards the car.

"Okay. See you soon!" She said hanging up.

I couldn't believe I was doing this. I really couldn't. I'm so nervous.

I approached the car and got into the drivers seat and put on my seat belt.

"You took a while." Shaun smiled.

"Uh... Yeah.. Sorry babe." I said starting the car.

"Where's the chocolate and lollies?" He said looking in the back seat like he was expecting to see bags with treats in them.

Shit. I completely forgot that's what I told him.

"Um... That's why I took so long. I couldn't decide what to get so I got nothing." I said watching the road as I drove.

"Seems like you're lying..." Shaun said watching me.

"I'm not Shaun." I said in a stern voice.

"You weren't meeting up with someone behind my back were you...?" Shaun said with a sad look on his face.

"NO!" I said a bit too loudly. "No. Never." I said getting a hold of his hand.

"Okay." He said ending the conversation and looking down at his feet.

"I'm going to drop you home okay. I have a few things I need to do." I said pulling into our street.

"Oh.. Okay." He answered sounding disappointed as I drove inside his drive way.

"I'll come back later." I said not turning the car off.

"Where are you going?" He asked not getting out of the car.

"You don't need to know baby." I said smiling. "I'll see you soon." I leant down and softly kissed his lips. He kissed back while taking his seat belt of and kneeling on the seat, wrapping his arms around my neck. I kissed him for about a minute then pulled away and rested my head against his. "I'll be back soon baby. I love you." I said to him.

"I love you too." He said. He lightly pecked my lips once more before stepping out of the car and walking towards the front door. He opened the door and waved goodbye. I blew him a kiss back and watched him go inside before driving back to the shops.
