Always You

Chapter TwentyThree

*Date Night*

"Baby, are you almost ready yet?"

"Almost!" I shouted through the door.

I checked myself out in the mirror one last before I decided to open the door. I was wearing a maroon skirt that reached to the top of my knees and a black crop top that had thin straps. I put on black wedges and a black cardigan. My hair was half up and half down curled. My makeup was natural but cute. Nothing too bold. 

I took a deep breath and opened the door. 

Tristan was sitting on the bed in a pair of dark blue jeans and a floral vacation like button up shirt. He had the first two unbuttoned, he had tan ankle shoes on. Of course his hair was done to perfection. 

He was looking at his hands, and he seemed nervous. 

"Wow, you look really handsome." 

He looked up at me and smiled. 

"Wow." he said as he stood up.

"What?"

He walked over to me and grabbed my hands.

"You look beautiful baby."

I smiled and looked down at the ground. 

"Look, I'm finally as tall as you."

He laughed and kissed my forehead. We walked out of room and began walking out towards the front door. 

"Where are you guys going?" Zach asked.

Tristan looked at Zach then me and smiled.

"I'm taking Camryn out on a date. We have reservations at six."

Zach looked at the both of us and smiled.

"You two are so cute."

Tristan looked at me and smiled. He held my hand and gave it a squeeze to comfort me. 

"I know. I guess I got lucky to have her."

I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Ew! Get the fuck out already!" Dayne shouted from the living room.

"Damn Dayne, jealous much?" Tristan laughed.

"No, I'm tired of feeling like I am about to throw up every five minutes because of you guys either sucking face or his dick being up your ass!"

I looked at Dayne with a shocked facial expression.

"Um, excuse me! His dick has gone no where near my ass!" 

"OKAY! GROSS! Go to your reservation before you make us all throw up." Zach said shooing us out. 

I shook my head as we walked out of the door and walked to the car. Tris opened the door for me and shut it behind me. He got in the car and smiled at me. 

"You ready?"

I nodded and buckled up. 

As he was driving he laid his hand on my thigh and began rubbing little circles on my thigh. 

"I'm so glad that we're doing this baby." He glanced at me then looked back at the road. 

"Me too," 

**Restaurant**

I was amazed at what Tristan put into this date. He got me roses and paid for a nice dinner. Right now we were eating a chocolate mousse cake, I didn't really eat much because I loved watching him enjoy the dessert as if he was a little boy again.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

I shrugged and took a sip of my water. 

"I'm just enjoying our date. Enjoying being alone with you."

He wiped his mouth with his napkin and held his hand out on the table. I placed my hand in his and leaned on the table with my other arm.

"I'm glad we get to have alone time too baby, and I have something to give you."

I looked at him confused.

"But, I didn't get you anything."

He laughed and pulled out a black velvet box out of his pocket.

"Now, before you freak out, it's not an engagement ring." he opened the box and there was a beautiful small diamond ring in the box. "This is a promise ring to you. I promise that I will always love you through all of our battles. I promise to always support you and your dreams and always stick by your side. I promise to be the best I can be to you, and I promise to always stick up for you. You are the only one I want to be with Camryn, and the only girl that has the key to my heart. I can't imagine where I would be without you today or ever. I love you with all of my heart baby."

I felt the tears fall down my face. He got up and picked up out of my chair and held me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck and tried to not bawl my eyes out. 

"I didn't mean to make you cry babygirl."

I shook my head and looked at him. 

"These are good tears. I promise."

It was then when I looked into his blue eyes, I saw nothing but my future in them. All the good and bad days. All the love and tears and everything was right there in front of me. 

"I love you so much Tristan. I can't imagine things without you." 

He kissed me and held me close to him. We pulled away and he smiled at me.

"Will you accept my promise ring?"

"Of course, I will."

He slid the ring on my ring finger and held me close. 

This boy will forever have my heart and always be the love of my life. Nothing will ever change that.
