Chapter 20: Promise?

(1 year later)

Fang's P.O.V.

I was on my way to Max's house. I was becoming really nervous. My hands are sweating and I feel queasy. I have to ask Max a very important question. I hope she says yes.

I pull up in her driveway and get out. I go up to her door and ring the doorbell. The door opened and Dylan answered, like always.

"Max, Fang is here to see you!"

He let me in and I turned around to shut the door. When I turned around I was pulled down and met a very familiar pair of lips.

"Hey, handsome."

"Hey, beautiful.", I said breathlessly.

She jumped in my arms, liked she always did when I came over. I walked up to her room with her in my arms. I walked to her closet and put her down. she looked at me confused.

"Why are we in here?"

"You need to get dressed I'm taking you out for our 1 year anniversary."She just smiled and went to find the perfect outfit.

"Fang, casual or fancy?"

"Casual."

I sat on her bed and Waited. It took her about 20 minutes to find her outfit and 30 minutes to do her hair. She came out dressed in a light blue tank top with a dream catcher on it, beige lace cardigan, light washed shorts, and her lace Toms I got her.

Surprisingly, we both kind of matched. I was wearing a light blue shirt, khakis shorts, and the tan Toms that she bought me.

I grabbed her hand and walked downstairs. I walked to my truck and opened the door for her and she got in and closed it. Then I went and got in and started up the truck.

I was half way there when I felt her grab my hand. I smiled as she started playing with my fingers.

"Where are we going?"

"It is a surprise."

"You know I hate surprises."

"Yeah, but you will love this one."

She just sighed and continued to play with my fingers. Thirty minutes later we pulled up to the beach. She smiled and I got out and opened her door. She got out and took off her shoes, as did I.

I grabbed her hand and we started walking down the beach in the sand. Ten or so minutes later we reached our destination. It was a picnic on the beach. It had candles, chocolate cake, chocolate covered strawberries, coke, and spaghetti.

Y'all are probably wondering how I did this or why nobody was around well that is easy. This is my cousins private beach and his wife cooked.

Max and I sat down and ate the spaghetti and drank some coke. I fed Max the strawberries and returned the favor. Little talk was made because we were content on having each other's company and every now and then we would share passion filled kisses.

"So M-Max, I-I was wondering.....uh.....um."

"Fang, spit it out already.", she said laughing. I blushed and pulled out the rings.

"Max, I want a promise. I want to promise forever. I want to promise forever with you and only you. I want to promise that you will be my wife in the future. I want to promise that you will be the mother to my children. I want to promise that we will grow old together and that we will love each other until the day we die. I know we are not ready for marriage and that is not what I'm proposing. I just want a promise. One that shows you're mine and that we both love each other. One that tells me that you will be in my future, in the rocking chair next to mine when we are old. One that tells me that you will be the one I'm holding when I take my last breath. One that tells me that I will be the keeper of your heart. One that shows our endless love for one another. I just want a promise. I promise to be there for you when you need me, I promise to always hold you, I promise to always love you, and I promise that when I die you will be my last thought and my last words will be my departure from my one true love. I also promise to treat you like the princess you are, I promise to tell you how beautiful you are everyday, and I promise to tell you how much I need you in my life even though you never believe it when I tell you. I'm only asking you to promise me the same, but if you can't that is fine because you will still be my last thought and you will still be the only thing I will ever need. It may kill me to loose you, but if it makes you happy then what more can I ask for? I want you to be happy and if you are happy with someone else then I guess I will have to let you go. Max, can you promise me all those things? Can you, Max?"

Max's P.O.V.

"Max, I want a promise. I want to promise forever. I want to promise forever with you and only you. I want to promise that you will be my wife in the future. I want to promise that you will be the mother to my children. I want to promise that we will grow old together and that we will love each other until the day we die.

Max, can you promise me all those things? Can you, Max?"

I was in tears and by the looks of it so was Fang. I guess he took my silence as a no because he slumped over and started packing the stuff up. I reached over and grabbed his hand to stop him. He looked at me.

I threw my arms around him and cried into his chest. How could I say no? I loved the boy and I sure as hell wasn't letting him go. I was happy with him.

"Yes, Fang. Yes, I can promise you all of those things."

With that said he put the ring on my finger. It fit perfectly. It was simple. A silver band with a diamond heart on it. I smiled at it. Fang held up another ring.

"Would you like to do the honors?" I smiled and nodded my head yes.

I took the ring and put it on his ring finger just like he did mine. His ring was also simple. It was silver with a heart cut out of it and in black it said "Endless Love". I smiled and helped him finish packing up. we walked back to the car and drove home in a peaceful silence with smiles on our faces.
