Hunter & Julie

Scene 27

I walked to the kitchen and took the black box and called the room service people for some hot chocolate and marshmallows.

I can't believe she took me back. After all my wrongs she took me for my rights and that makes me genuinely happy.

The hot chocolates came and I woke her up from the couch so we could open our presents for each other.

She shied away from the thought of me seeing the present she gave me but honestly it just made me all the more interested in all seriousness. It made me happy she thought of me while I was getting piss drunk and high to stop thinking of her.

"You didn't have to get me this" she was referring to the hot cocoa. If she was weary about taking the cocoa she was gonna be pissed about my present to her.

"Okay, but I want to see your present so I'm opening it now"

"No" she crossed her arms and attempted to take the box. I bite her cheek and said "I'm opening the fucking box and I'm gonna be fucking thankful if there's half of a rotten bread in here because I fucking love you"

She leaned in an kissed me and I groaned.

"Okay" she submitted.

"Good"

I opened the box and was surprised to see layers. The first on held a grape.

"Huh?" I wondered. She put her hands on her face. I shrugged and ate the grape and moved further down.

And I laughed hardly at what I saw. It was a tiny cake that read "you ate a grape"

"Its stupid" but I couldn't stop laughing. It was perfect.

I moved further and there was a letter.
Okay here are your real presents.

"There's more?"

"It's in the safe" she smiled. I got another black box out the safe and sat back in front of her and inside was a photo frame, pills, and two rings.

"What is this?" I wondered.

"Well the photo is for us to fill, the pills are my Digoxin. I wanted you to know I trust you with my life and that is my last bottle. And the two rings, well, its a promise that will never let go"

I felt my heart jump in excitement. I leaned forward and held her face softly and I knew that I loved her. I knew with every fiber of my being that she was the epic love of my life.

"Well, I got you something as well" I scratched the back of my neck " and its similar to yours."

"Which one?"

I took out my wallet and pulled out a small black box. She pushed her brows together slightly confused. I took a deep breath.

"Julie, I love you" I said biting my lips she held my hand firmly. "Now this ring that I've bought two months ago isn't an engagement ring. Its a promise that once your ready, once we are ready, that it will become one, cause after two weeks away from you, I realized that I don't want to be without you, that I want to live the rest of my life waking up with you on me, with you calming me whenever I'm pissed and for me to give you your pills everyday until you don't need them, I want to be with you until I physically can't and vice versa."

Tears welded at the corners of her eyes until eventually they poured like the Nile. I wiped them with my thumb and lifted her head.

"So what do you say?"

"I say we can already consider it an engagement ring because I wanna be with you forever and eternity"

My heart swelled and I grabbed her by her arm and pressed my lips firmly to hers and we sat there completely captivated in one another.
