Chapter 34-Proposal To a Flower
I was nervously pacing our living room floor waiting for Lily to step out of the bedroom.
I was playing with the small box in my pocket with one hand and ruffling my hair with the other. I don't think I have ever been so nervous in my entire life. But thanks to Padfoot and Char I wasn't as nervous as I could have been if I hadn't gone to them for advice at first. I had been planning this for a month now and yet I was not sure about everything.
I had made reservations at this French restaurant that Lily loved and was now waiting for her to get ready.
"James…why are you pacing?" I heard the sweet voice that belonged to Lily say suddenly.
I jumped a bit and turned around to address her. But my voice caught in my throat when I saw her. She was so beautiful. She was wearing a strapless emerald green dress that reached her knees and her red hair was flowing around her shoulders. And her eyes…those beautiful green eyes were shining more than ever. What had I done to deserve such a beauty?
"You…you look beautiful Lily" I said smiling when she blushed and smiled at me.
"Thank you James, you don't look half bad yourself" I chuckled and gave her the bouquet of daisies, her favourite flower that I had bought for her. She grinned and thanked me and then magically put them in water.
When she was done I offered her my arm. She took it and we apparated.
We arrived at the small French restaurant and Lily smiled when she recognized it.
"You remembered…" she mumbled and I smiled at her. We went inside and the waiter led us to our table. We sat down and ordered. Im not exactly sure on what I ordered I was so busy thinking about everything else that I just ordered the first thing I saw on the menu. But it couldn't have been too weird since Lily didn't give me any looks.
I took her hand and we talked about everything and anything. Sure I had been on dates with girls before and I had had some none important girlfriends before Lily. But no one was her…none of them made me feel as comfortable as she did.
"What are you grinning at?" she asked me smiling.
"Just thinking…" I told her smiling. When the desserts arrived, a guy with a violin and one that was singing came to our table and started to play Lily's favourite song. I had ordered for them to do this of course. Lily gasped and giggled.
"Did you do this?" she asked me smiling and eyes shining.
"I might have" I said smugly.
When we had eaten and paid, I paid of course, I took her hand and told her that I had a surprise.
"Another one?" she said looking surprised. I just grinned smugly at her.
We apparated to Hogsmead and I led her to the park that had a small pond in it. This was where Lily and I first kissed. We reached the small bench under a tree…the same tree we sat under almost a year ago.
"James…what are we doing here?" she asked me smiling. I smiled back nervously and told her to sit. I took a deep breath and started the speech I had prepared in my head.
"Lily. You are my first love. I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you…and the day that you agreed to go out with me was the happiest day of my life. I love you Lily Marie Evans" I went down on one knee and she gasped. I took out the box and opened it and showed her the ring.
"Lily Marie…will you marry me?" I held my breath and looked up at her. She had tears in her eyes and then she whispered so quietly that I barely heard her;
"Yes…" I grinned and she started laughing through her tears.
"Yes…yes of course I'll marry you" I slipped the ring onto her finger and then I took her in my arms and kissed her. She smiled at me and said;
"Oh James…I love you too" I just grinned, and I knew that I had to be the happiest man alive.
Sirius POV
I was sitting on the couch with Char leaning against me and she was playing with Sid who was in her lap.
"Do you think he's asked her yet?" I said and she looked up at me grinning.
"Maybe…but they probably won't stop by and tell us until tomorrow" I started chuckling and said;
"I think they'll show up tonight" she stared at me and said;
"Sirius…if you asked someone to marry you…would one of the first things you do be visiting one of your best friends to tell them?" I grinned smugly and said;
"Nope…but we're not talking about me…we're talking about Prongs" she looked thoughtful for a while and then she grinned and said;
"You're right…but I still don't think they'll stop by tonight…"
"I bet you two sickles that they do" she grinned at me and said;
"You're on" we shook hands just as the doorbell rang.
"And that would be them"
"No way…it's someone else" we both went for the door and sure enough there stood a beaming Prongs and Lily.
"Char, I'm getting married!" Lily said and hugged Char who was staring at me over her shoulder. I grinned and mouthed
"Two sickles" to her. Then I dunked Prongs on the back and offered him some Firewhiskey. The girls were giggling and admiring the ring but they soon joined us and the conversation was filled with talks about weddings.
When they left I grinned at Char and she scowled playfully at me.
"I can't believe you were right...damn you"
"You owe me two sickles…but I can probably think of some other kind of payment" I said smiling smugly putting my arms around her.
"Is that so?" she said raising an eyebrow at me. I nodded and nibbled on her ear. She started giggling and pressed herself against me and started to give me the same treatment, I groaned. But then she broke out of my embrace and ran away giggling and batting her eyes at me. I growled playfully and said;
"Don't tease me Char" she laughed and jumped out of the way when I advanced on her.
"And why no-ot" she said in a sing song voice, laughing at my frustrated face. I jumped for her again and this time I caught her and threw her over my shoulder.
"That's why" I said grinning smugly and smacking her bottom. She squealed and screamed;
"Put me down Sirius!"
"I think not" and with that I carried her away, her still squealing and trying to get down.
