Nicks perspective
Charlie was still sound asleep and hadn't woken up yet, usually i'm sad when I wake up before him because when he wakes up he crawls onto my chest and I wake up my favourite way with Charlie in my arms, but today was different I was relieved that he wasn't, so I could sneak out of the house and pick up the rings from the jewellers. I snuck out of our bed and kissed Charlie on the forehead, I left a note saying I was going to the post office to mail my cousin her wedding gift which is something I still really do need to do. I hide the gift under our couch so Charlie wouldn't catch on to my lie.

Driving the jeep without Charlie felt weird he drove the jeep to work and I drove my motorcycle and when we're together I always drive the jeep, so it felt lonely and empty without him it might sound dramatic but everything is better when Charlie is with me. I didn't have a hand to hold or a face to kiss at red lights when he wasn't there. I pulled into the jewellery stores parking lot and headed in the shop. "Hi Mr Nelson" I smiled and waved back to the jeweller "Hi" I say greeting the nice man back. "Your rings are ready let me just grab them there in the back" he walked away into the back and was so nervous to see those rings I really wanted them to be perfect for Charlie. He came back holding two ring boxes, the boxes were identical and so were the rings except I could tell which one was Charlie's because, he has much smaller fingers. I pulled one of the rings out and admired how perfect they had turned out they felt like us in a weird way, they just felt right. I payed for the rings and left the store feeling excited for today, I had set up the whole day so it will be the perfect proposal. I called Tori the other day and set up a double date with her and Michael they are still together and Michael seemed to be the only guy that actually understands Tori. They were pretty opposite people but that's what made them work I think. The day Charlie gave me the promise ring we went on a double date with Tori and Michael then a picnic I wanted to recreate that day but this time instead of promise rings i'll propose to him, with the the original promise rings with an engagement band added on of course. I just know how much Charlie will love this. For our double date Me and Tori planned to go to a theme park with rides and fun games, I thought it was perfect because me and Charlie have never been to a theme park together in all
our years of being together. I can't wait to see his beautiful smile and his perfectly messy black hair dressed in skinny jeans and a T shirt with his favourite pair of dirty white converse, he still dressed the same as he dressed in high school and so did I. I got in the door and Charlie was on the phone laughing and he seemed very happy about whatever conversation he was having, he notice me come in the door I just waved and mouthed hi, I didn't want to interrupt his conversation. He ran up to me and hugged me he then said to whoever was on the phone "I got to go love you" When he said love you I knew it was someone in the paris squad he always says love you to them before he hangs up the phone. "Im mad at you" Charlie says with a serious tone, this couldn't be worse timing for him to be angry with me, Im proposing to him today. "Charlie I'm sorry but i'm lost" he bursts out laughing "I didn't get my morning cuddles" thank god he was just messing around that would have ruined the whole day. I pulled him up into my arms like you hold a toddler and started kissing him passionately he reciprocated the same energy we kissed and kissed until we needed air. "God I love you" Charlie said kinda out of breath. I could've proposed to him right there and then but I knew it would be more special if I waited tell later although any time I spend with Charlie is special.

"Charlie I kinda planned a day for us" I say well trying to contain my excitement. He looks at me for a second before saying "Nick I'm ok you don't need to try and keep me busy or anything" I know he thought this was about him relapsing but it wasn't and i'm not sure how i'm going to convince him otherwise. "No it's not like that I trust you, I planned a day for us because I want to spend some quality time with the specialist person on the planet my boyfriend Charlie Spring" he laughs and I laugh along side him as he pulls in close to me and hugs me tight showing his excitement for what I have planned. Breaking the silence I say "We don't want to be late come on" I failed to mention the fact why we can't be late, it's because Tori hates it when people are late and i'm a little but intimidated by her. So I pull my soon to be finance by the hand and lead him to our car.
