Promise

Chapter 29

I stood there in shock for a moment, frozen and couldn't move or speak for a while. There was one part of me saying no and the other part of me was saying yes.

On one hand I loved him and I knew that he loved me back. Today was just a blip and it wouldn't happen again, he didn't mean it really. It was just something that was said in the heat of the moment and he was just as stressed out as I am about the competition. If I had something similar to him and then quickly apologise he would forgive me, why can't I do the same thing and put it behind us and move on with our lives.

On the other hand, I wouldn't ever dream of saying anything like that to him, not even when I'm stressed out like I am. The fact that he did suggests that he has been thinking about it for awhile and has never said it to me before, Can I really marry someone who says that about me?

Then again, he did apologise, and he meant it too. If he didn't, why would he propose to me?

Maybe he didn't mean the proposal either?

He must've he had the ring in his pocket. If he didn't mean it then he would've said something by now.

I was hesitant for a split second while I had conflicting thoughts rushing around in my head. I had to make me descision soon, I couldn't leave him kneeling on the floor for too long without someone seeing us and asking us questions.

I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself to the best of my ability.

"Ricky, do I even need to tell you my answer? Of course I will!"
