Love Is A Funny Thing - Romance

Hand in hand, we walked into the pasture, me skipping, Nate walking. 

"Come on Nate. Skip with me!" I squealed in joy. I released his hand and skipped ahead.

"Men don't skip."

 I stop in my tracks. "Oh please."

"True shit Steph." He sighs, jogging over. "True shit." 

"Please?" I whine. I give him my signature puppy dog eyes. 

"Fine" He groans. "But only 'cause I love you." I run over and take his hand and together we skip. Well, I skip and he looks like a lopsided limping idiot. 

I fall to the ground in laughter and he stops.

"What?"

"You know what." I say between breaths.

"No, educate me."

"You,"

"What Stephanie? What the fuck now?" He asks irritated.

"You skip like an idiot."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me, you skip like an idiot." I recovered myself.

"And you skip perfectly?" He glared at me, but his eyes gave him away.

"Yep." I smirked. 

"Oh please,"

"At least I don't look like a dumbass when I skip Nate."

"So that's how it is." He faked hurt. "I take you to a pasture and treat you to a picnic and you insult my skipping skills? You really did hurt me Stephanie. In here." He pointed to his chest.

"Your chest?" I asked.

"No, my heart stupid."

"Your face is stupid."

He laughed. "That was a fail."

I pouted.

"But maybe that's why I love you Stephanie." He sat down next to me and kissed me. At first I was stiff, but eventually I moved with him, passionately.

I stand up, but Nate gets on one knee.

"Nate, what the.."

"Stephanie, from the first time I met you, I knew I loved you. And after the full two years we've been dating, I still love you. Please be mine, please marry me."

I break into tears, of joy, of course. "Yes, yes a million times yes!"

Nate instantly pulls me into a hug and pecks my lips. Then he slides the ring onto my finger, making me giggle uncontrollably.

"You are a fail." He laughs.

"Now I'm your fail." 

"That was corny."
