p class="MsoNormal"As I make my way up the path to the mansion I see Scott pacing at the door.
emPoor guy. I'm such a crappy girlfriend./em He soon notices me and runs out meet / "Evelyn, I'm so sorry. I've been thinking and-"br / "Shut up."
I smile, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him. "I love you and I'm sorry for flipping out."br / "What?"
His brow furrows above his glasses. "I thought you were mad at me?"br / "I was." I shrug. "But then I realized that everyone makes mistakes and in a world like this, you shouldn't let those mistakes get in the way of something beautiful."br / "Really?" He sounds surprised.
emProbably because I'm so / I nod and bite my lip slightly. "Yup. And our relationship is definitely something beautiful."br / "You're right." He smiles, pulling my body to his and smiling down at me. "I love you."br / I tiptoe and kiss him softly.
The contact is so perfect, something I could never want to / "I love you too." I / "Oh!"
He says suddenly, reaching into his back pocket. He retrieves a small black box. "I got you something."br / "What?"
He passes me the / "I was going to give it to you at the end of our date today." He explains. "Open it."br / I comply. Inside the box, almost lost in the mountains of pink and white confetti, is a ring. I take it from the box for closer inspection. It is a simple silver band, no wider than 4mm across,
with a tiny, red, heart-shaped gem inset into the centre of the silver. I quickly slip it into my right hand ring /
"Ruby quartz?" I don't take my eyes from my hand, which is extended out between us. Scott / "It's kind of our thing." He answers / "I love it." I admit, wrapping my arms around his neck and closing the distance between us again. "But why?"br / "Because I don't tell you enough how I feel. To be honest, I'm not even sure that I can!" He confesses. "But I wanted to give you this to show you that I love you. You mean everything to me, Evelyn James.
You are my dream."br / "And you're mine, Scott Summers." I smile at his beautiful words. "Come on, let's go to bed."br / "Definitely! It's been a long day."
He slips his hand into mine and we walk hand-in-hand back into the mansion. br / "You guys okay now?" Bobby asks shyly as we enter the building. My smile grows when I see /
"Yeah, Bobby. It's all sorted." Scott replies casually, yet I hear the affection in his voice. The relationship between these two is quite / "Thank god!" He exclaims,
suddenly regaining his confidence. "You guys are up and down like a roller coaster sometimes!"br / I giggle loudly at his words. "Night, Bobby!"br / "Goodnight,
guys!" He calls back, as we move off down the corridor to our room. br / "I'm exhausted." I laugh, collapsing onto the bed. "It's been a long day."br / "You've got that right!" We both slip under the covers; the warmth of the duvet seems to relax my aching / "I love you, Scott Summers." I whisper. "Through everything."br / "I love you too. Sleep now." He kisses my hair and I drift off into a peaceful / !-[endif]-/p
