"Shit my mom is going to kill me" Aaron sighs as he shifts in bed
I scrunch my nose as I look at him,
We've been in the hospital for a few weeks, and the doctors and nurses have been thoroughly keeping an eye on us and making sure we're both healing well,
And everything's been great, Aaron and I were having a conversation just mere seconds ago and I was telling him how funny he was high, and then I mention jokingly how Vanessa Huxley sounds quite cute,
And then he replies with that a second later...
I can't quite grasp if it's because he thinks marriage is too soon, or maybe not even on the table at all,
Though he did technically mention it while he was high on anesthesia...
"I had this whole cute as-shit thing planned out, that you would have loved, but I just can't wait any longer, and you saying stuff like that makes me not want to wait another second" he huffs out a laugh
"It's like with every moment that passes I'm physically incapable of hiding what lies in my heart, I can't wait until we leave this hospital to tell you...I look at you and I just know what I want and I can't hide it anymore" he whispers with a smile
I frown, so confused about what he's trying to tell me right now
"I'm so confused...I'm not even going to lie to you right now Aaron" I sigh
He turns on the bed so he's looking at me, and he just stares and stares until I feel like I need to look away because his eyes are too perfect, too beautiful as it sets on my face,
And just when I think he'd say something smart-ass or his usual self, he says something that is so far from what I thought he was going to say that it truly takes me a moment to understand the depths of his statement
"Marry me..." he says, his stare unwavering as he continues to look at me like I'm all he wants from life,
As if he'd be content if all he ever gets out of life is me.
"Huh?" I whisper
"Marry me sunshine" he whispers back, his smile sweet, and nerves dancing in his eyes.
He's sober...he's not high on drugs anymore, this is a complete and truthful statement, that causes me to momentarily freeze in place as I try to contain tears.
But I cry because it seems like it's the only emotion I'm able to possess at this moment, and out of everything he could've said, he said something that has tingles coating my skin
