She froze there, and so did I, but I knew I had to fucking do something or we’d both die of oxygen deprivation as we held our breaths for what would come next.
“Let me rephrase this,” I said, even my voice was trembling with fear and excitement. “I want to marry you, but will you? Will you marry me, Mia Miller? Not right now, but I love it, so I’m putting a fucking ring on it.”
She laughed at me, and I didn’t blame her a single bit, because that was fucking dumb. Didn’t matter though. She just nodded and nodded, over and over until I put that motherfucking ring on her finger.
“When did you get a ring?” was the first thing out of her mouth.
“A yes would be nice,” I countered.
Her cheeks flushed a deeper red with a blush before she blurted.
“A million, trillion yeses. Now, when did you get a ring?”
I laughed, took another kiss from her lips, then admitted, “A couple weeks ago. I’d hoped to maybe ask your dad’s blessing while we were here.”
“Oh my God,” she breathed, then grabbed my head again and kissed the hell out of me.
“You’re for real, right?” she panted against my lips. “It’s not just because my dad threatened you, right?”
I chuckled.
“You’ve known me for coming on three months. Do you really think someone could make me do something I didn’t want to do?”
She laughed and shook her head.
“Honestly, I have a hard time believing you were a kid at one point, saying ‘Yes Mother’. But then I met your mother…”
“Fuck… Yeah, I’m sorry about her. I should have known better. She can be a total bitch when she wants to be.”
“I can understand Paula’s distaste for her ex-mother-in-law.”
“Yeah, no shit,” I chuckled sardonically.
She pressed another kiss to my lips, then grabbed my hand.
“Do you need more air, or are you ready to head back?”
“I’m fine. I just needed to ask you to marry me before I lost my Goddamn head and did it in front of your whole family.”
She laughed.
“They wouldn’t have minded, but they don’t know when to shut up, either.”
I grinned down at her and pressed my lips to her forehead.
“Between your Dad and your grandma. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have made it through without some kind of interruption, so this seemed like the better way to go about it.”
She nodded and hurried me back to her parent’s home.
“It’s also colder than I thought it would be,” she added. “I should have brought a coat with me.”
As we were walking, I grabbed her shoulders and shifted her in front of me until my arms were surrounding her, warming her.
She grinned back at me as we awkwardly meandered back to her home, her body wrapped up in me.
When we made it back to the door, I finally pulled my arms away, but she caught my hand just as she pushed the door open.
“So? What was that all about?” Dad asked as we walked in.
