Later that day Nathan and I got ready for our date. Nath got ready with the boys help on the other bus while I got ready with the girls help on the band bus. I must admit, Nareesha worked her magic once again and I looked hot.
"Wow," Nathan agreed upon seeing me, giving me a kiss and a bouquet of beautiful roses, "you look drop dead gorgeous babe."
"Thanks, you're not so shabby yourself," I wink.
We begin walking and I have no clue where we are heading. Nathan had insisted on blind folding me. "Nath! Can I take this damned blind fold off yet?"
"Almost babe, gimme like five minutes." He says, one hand on the small of my back and the other, holding my hand.
"Grrr," I growled at him, causing him to laugh.
"Watch your step," He says. A minute later I feel us moving upward. We were in an elevator.
Once it stops he reaches behind me to take off the blind fold. The sight before me stunts my breathing.
"Nath—It's beautiful…How'd?"
"With a lot of phone calls. I'm just glad you're ok from the other day," He replies.
"Ditto to you," I say referencing his foot.
I walked over to the candle lit table and set down my stuff before walking to the edge. I was standing at the top of the damn Eiffel Tower…I've never felt so alive, so lucky to call Nathan mine. Nathan came behind me and wrapped his arms around my stomach.
"Amazing isn't it?" He asks.
"That you are," I smile, and give him a kiss over my shoulder.
He reciprocates with passion.
"I'm glad you like it,"
"You kidding?! I love it!" I shout.
"I mean, I was worried it'd be a bit too cliché." He pondered.
"Nath," I say turning around in his arms, "What girl can say her boyfriend reserved the Eiffel Tower just so they could have dinner?!"
"Hopefully…," He starts, fishing something out of his pocket, "A girl who is about to become her lucky boyfriends forever," he finishes.
"Oh my god," I say…I slowly sink down, hyperventilating.
"Babe?" Nathan asks alarmed, "you ok?" He comes down to my level.
"What? Yeah, I mean wow this is happening so fast. I just, wow, we haven't even said I love you, hell, we haven't even had sex. Nathan are you sure?"
"Baby, sure about what?" He chuckles.
I stop, "Nathan, what is that?" I reference the box in his hand.
"Oh, I got you a bracelet," he smiles proudly, while I hit him and laughed.
"I love you," I say, and I meant it.
He pauses before kissing me, hard, "I love you too,"
We walked back on the bus that night holding hands and talking, "So you thought I was gonna propose didn't you?"
"Well, yeah…" I admit, a bit ashamed.
"I'm so stupid. I'm sorry I probably would've thought the same if I were you."
"That's ok, I still love you," I smiled up at him. I think Nathan and I had told each other those words about a million times that beautiful night.
"I love you too, and someday, I will get down on one knee and ask you to marry me, just not today. I promise you that. I guess, think of that bracelet as a promise ring if you will." He says.
"But, it's a bracelet," I say dumbly, chuckling at his vexation.
"Well, yes, oh come on you get the point!" He laughs.
"Yes, yes I do." I smile contentedly.
Everything happened so fast. It was all unreal. Like literally, life doesn't happen like this, at least for someone as average and dull as myself.
Today, despite its abnormality, will forever go down in history, or at least Nathan and my history. I was a happy girl, and today was a happy day.
Tomorrow, we'd be flying back home for a mini vacation before heading back on the road. I'm kind of glad, because Nathan and I could use the alone time, and I'm sure the other couples could too. Next on the agenda? Get Jay a girlfriend.
(A/N: So I'm working on trying slow this story down, I'm sorry if it's seemed a bit fast. And Erin and Chanda I will put you guys in soon! Thanks for contacting me! You guys rock! )
