Whispers Of The Heart: A Sokeefe story

Chapter 27: The Proposal

"Do you mind if I have a little flick through your diary?" Sophie asked slowly feeling embarrassed for even asking.

"Of course, you can look through it! As long as you stay where we have known each other. Before that, I still have a few things I'm not ready to share." Keefe told her. She nodded and started flicking through making sure to only stay between what he had shown her and the end. She decided to look at the page where he had asked her to be his girlfriend.

Foster asked me who my parents are today. I told her. I felt SO stupid when she told me what happened to her birth parents. They were killed by the Neverseen last year. She didn't seem at all upset about telling me but still. My mother killed her parents and got her separated from her sister one year ago and she seemed to be more sad for me for having the parents I do than for herself for having her parents be murdered when she was FIFTEEN. Her sister had it even worse. She was TWELVE. Anyway, let's skip to something happier. Later today Foster and I were walking to Tobin's to get some lunch. I had been making sure to walk half a step behind her so I could open the little box in my pocket. When I thought we had been walking for a good amount of time I held her hand walked for a few moments then very quickly turned and got down on one knee pulling the box out of my pocket and making sure she didn't notice until she turned around. When she got spun around by my hand which was still holding hers - my plan had obviously worked perfectly - I said "Sophie Elizabeth Foster will you m-be my girlfriend?" Luckily she didn't notice my mistake but I did and I was more embarrassed than I have ever been before. Then at the top of her voice, she screamed "YES! YES! YES! A MILLION TIMES YES!" I very quickly put the ring on her finger and kissed her. Today's song is You and Me by Lost and Found because of the part where it says:

Maybe it's the sunshine

Or the colour of your eyes

Maybe it's the moonlight

Or the colour of the sky

If I could freeze this moment

I would stay here every day

If I keep singing love songs

Will you promise me you'll stay

Oh, oh, oh

You're the only one I see, and

Oh, oh, oh

There's nowhere else I rather be, and

Oh, oh, oh

We can't explain the way we feel

But I believe in you and me

That perfectly describes why I nearly said what I nearly said. After we had our fish and chips on the beach I threw Foster in the water. We had a mini splash war before we started kissing. I was so happy but then of course Biana had to see us and get all excited. After a few minutes of talking to Biana, Foster's phone rang. She seemed worried and I asked who it was but she just told me she should go take it. When she came back she had a worried and upset face on so I asked what was wrong and she burst out laughing and told us that her adoptive cousin Dex was coming tomorrow. She was so adorably excited. I love that girl so much...
