I waited patiently for the 59 on the clock to turn to zeros. I was most definitely nervous.
"Calm down Seth, everything will be great," Jacob had said before I had left. I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I hadn't done this in nine years. Taking another deep breath I knocked on the door. It took a while, but eventually I heard running and things falling over. I smiled as May took two deep breaths before turning the door knob. She was just as nervous as I was, for a reason I couldn't imagine.
"Hey May, happy birthday," May smiled and stepped aside from the door.
"Thanks," I could feel her eyes watching as I stepped slowly into the house. I saw May's mom wink at me before she disappeared into the kitchen. I turned to smile at May.
"You look-"I stopped. The last time I had seen May dressed up was when she was fourteen. It was different then; she was more like a crush to me. Now it was -wow. "You look gorgeous," May smiled and blushed.
"Thank you," May paused, "I think I like you in a suit, you should where them more often," I smiled. She had no idea how soon I would be wearing another one.
"Ready to go," May nodded. I took her hand and led her toward the door.
"Mom I'm leaving," She called before she shut the door.
"Have fun," Was Mrs. Summer's muffled reply.
"You borrowed a car again? One day you'll have to use your own," I opened her door.
"One day," I muttered. May frowned at me when I got in.
"What's wrong Seth," I turned to her.
"What do you mean," I said trying to make my voice lighter. It was the nerves, they were making me sound stressed.
"I don't know, you seem upset about something," I smiled.
"Why would I be upset? It's your birthday; I wouldn't want to ruin it for you," May frowned again, but didn't say anything else.
We didn't say anything until we got to my house. "Come on May; don't let me get in your way. You're supposed to be happy." May smiled slightly. I smiled back. "You can do better than that," I kissed the top of her head and got out. When I opened her door she was smiling blissfully and a blush was fading out of her cheeks. "There's my May," She took my hand and got out.
"So is this like a birthday present or something," May asked as I unlocked the front door.
"No, this is a birthday dinner, the present comes later," May glanced at me, but didn't comment.
It was weird how the last time we had done this May had been the one keeping a secret. Now it was me.
"Okay Seth," May dropped her fork and glared at me. "The suspense is killing me, did you get me something or not," I smiled.
"Of course I did, but it's not that great," I smiled. May waited patiently for me to continue. I sighed and got out of my chair. "I hid it under the table," May raised an eyebrow and watched me crawl under the table.

When Seth came out again, he was holding a blue gift bag, just like the one he had left at my door. He handed it to me, not meeting my gaze. I opened it, afraid of what would be inside. There was a gift wrapped box, just like the one the corsage had come in. Curiously I tore off the paper. It was another corsage, except it was blue.
"Um, thank you?" I had to admit, I was confused.
"Look closer May," I frowned at him, but looked closer at the flowers. If the light hadn't caught it, I could promise you I would have never seen it. I pulled out the ring carefully. It wasn't that big, one small diamond in a silver band, not very fancy.
I looked up at Seth, still confused. He wasn't in his chair anymore. I glanced around, slightly alarmed.
"May," My head snapped down to my left side. I automatically turned to face Seth, still clutching the ring in my hand. Seth was on one knee and he looked sort of embarrassed. It took me a few minutes, but eventually I realized what was happening. I blushed. Seth smiled. He opened my hand and took the ring from it. Still holding my hand he started talking again. "In those nine years we were away from each other, I realized that I wasn't complete without you," I nodded, a few tears already escaping. "I promised that if you ever came back, I would never let you go again and this is my way of making sure," Seth smiled and brushed away a tear from my face. I smiled back. "Will you marry me?" I nodded furiously.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Seth smiled and slipped the ring onto my finger before he crushed me in his arms. I laughed breathlessly. No wonder Seth had seemed so fidgety.
"I thought you might say no," he whispered pulling me away from him. My eyes widened.
"Why would I say no?" I asked, sort of offended.
"I don't know, I guess I was just nervous," I smiled.
"Why would be nervous?" Seth smiled and hugged me again.
"Wow," I muttered.
"What," Seth asked still smiling.
I smiled back. "I'm getting married,"
"We're getting married," he said then he kissed me.
Well I can see that my story is slowly coming to an end. Expect a few more chpters, then say goodbye to Seth and May !
Thanks for reading, review please !!
