Part 5
When you sat next to Ludwig, you noticed how tired he looked, like he hadn't been able to sleep since you broke up with him. He gave a weak chuckle, an unsettling one that reminded you of a mad man. "I don't even know why I'm bothering to try and apologize since you're with my brother now." You almost corrected him, but you decided to stop. You wanted to see what he would do. "Yeah. I'm with Gilbert now." He swallowed solemly, like he was swallowing down his sorrow. "Ja, I figured you would decide to be with him. He told me he was going to try. . ."
You stared at the ground and held back tears. Oh gosh, you hated lying to him! You wanted to throw your arms around his neck and sob into his shoulder. You just continued to stare at the ground, tears managing to slip. Ludwig sighed. "So I wanted to apologize in person, for what I did . I shouldn't have had an affair with Felicia. " You shook your head in disbelief. Your biggest worry was right. "An affair? As in you cheated on me more than once?" He nodded saddly.
You shut your eyes tight to try and stop the tears, but they flowed freely. "Was I not good enough for you? Did you really need me to give my body to you? Wasn't I good enough?" You managed to finish your sentence before a sob escaped. You always thought that he deserved better, it just never occurred to you that he might have been thinking the same thing.
Ludwig shook his head. "Nein! It's just . . . " He wrung his hands and looked to the ground. Then he sighed and started telling what happened, the whole story. How his pride was wounded, how he wanted you to trust him. Once he started he just couldn't stop. You just sat in silence, taking it all in . You couldn't believe that his pride caused him to do what he did. His pride! He finally finished and you sat in silence. "_. Could you forgive me? Bitte? Ich liebe dich, und I was a dummkopf for not seeing how amazing you are. I understand if you don't want to leave my bruder." You wanted to slap him. He had an affair because you wouldn't give him your virginity! You looked to his face, ready to slap him, but You looked into his eyes and you broke. You would rather forgive him and love him, then be mad and live without him.
You no longer resisted. You threw your arms around him sobbing, as he sat still in shock. "Of course I forgive you ! Oh gosh, I missed you so much!" His arms wrapped tight around you as he muttered. "Danke Gott! Mein Liebe, mein precious _. Oh Gott, ich liebe dich!" He suddenly pulled back, face full of fear. "Wait, what about mein bruder?" You laughed and climbed into his lap, wiping your tears. "I lied. I never was with him. When he asked me, I said no. " He smiled and held your face gently, his thumb rubbing small circles on your cheek. You noticed tears running down his face and you gave a half laugh as you wiped them away. "Honey, why are you crying?" He smiled. "Because, schatz, I was so afraid that I had lost you. No, I wasn't afraid. I knew. I was convinced that I had lost you. " You smiled "But I'm here now, and here is where I'll stay." He kissed you deeply and held you close. "Mein precious _ , my darling dearest _. Ich liebe dich."
Another year passed, and it was your anniversary again. You were sitting at Ludwig's table after dinner, waiting for him to walk back in with some cake he baked for the occasion. He walked in carrying two plates with a peice of cake on each. "Wow, it looks great Ludwig!" He smiled and set them down. "Danke, schatz." You went to take a bite, when your fork hit something solid inside the slice of fluffy cake. The only thing going through your mind as you dug it out with your fork was something along the lines of OH DEAR GLORY IF THATS WHAT I THINK IT IS I MIGHT JUST SCREECH OH DEAR GLORY IT IS OH GLOB OH GLOB. You pulled out your fork gently, and sitting on the end was a diamond ring.
Your eyes grew wide and a hand covered your mouth, as Ludwig sank to one knee in front of you nervously, grabbing your other hand. "_-_. I know we've had our ups and downs, but Ich liebe dich, und I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you please marry me?" You nodded excitedly, feeling as though you were going to faint as he slid the ring onto your finger. You both stood up as Ludwig pulled you close, lips meeting and electricity ran down your spine.
You both sat on the couch, cake forgotten as you both sat on the couch cuddling. He smiled and played with your new wedding ring as you talked to your parents about the good news. You hung up and kissed him sweetly. "They're really excited!" He smiled and laughed. "That is wunderbar! I would have been a bit upset if they were not."You lifted up the ring and smiled as you looked at it. "It's so beautiful!" He kissed your cheek and smiled. "I am glad you like it, liebe."
Your wedding was a success, all the long hours of planning worth it in the end. Now, you and Ludwig were on your way to your honeymoon in (location). When you checked into the hotel, the clerk chuckled and gave you a sly wink. "Have fun kids, and don't worry about keeping the noise down. It's been soundproofed." You blushed heavily. You just had to reserve the honeymoon suite, didn't you?You managed to sputter out a thank you as you took the card key from him.
Ludwig carried the bags to the while room whistling a tune. You walked beside him, fiddling with the card key and biting your lip in thought. You were extremely nervous about losing your virginity. What if you did something weird? What if Ludwig hated the way you looked? You turned to Ludwig and he looked back at you with a smile, leaning down to kiss your cheek gently. "Are you nervous, liebe?" You nodded and he stopped in front of the door, setting down the suitcases. "It is okay, _. We do not have to have sex if you do not want to. We can wait as long as you want." You shook your head . "I do, I want to give myself to you. I'm just a little bit scared." He chuckled and held you close. "Do not be. Ich liebe dich, mein darling _ ." He kissed you gently and you felt most of your fears subside.
