Melissa thought she was going to pass out. She wanted
to say yes, to scream it off the rooftops, but she couldn’t seem to find her voice. She just stared at
him in complete shock. 
                    
Josh was starting to get worried. He couldn’t decide
if he was more anxious or terrified. He couldn’t tell what she was thinking… her face was blank. 
 
"Mel?" 
 
His voice was no more than a mere whisper.
                    
"Josh… I can’t believe this… I… I don’t know what to say."
                    
He smiled at her nervously. 
 
"Well, yes would work for me…"
                    
"Oh God… Josh… yes… yes of course I will marry you!" 
                    
Josh felt as if the weight of the world had just been lifted from his shoulders.
 He smiled, then leaned down, slid the ring onto her finger, and hugged her.
He laughed as Melissa got him all wet in the process.
                    
She looked at him, then without warning grabbed his shirt and pulled him into the tub
 with her… clothes and all. Both of them erupted into a fit of laughter,
water and bubbles were flying around the room. 
                    
"You’re lucky I love you so much… I love this shirt!"
                    
"Oh hush… it’s only water… it’s not going to hurt it!"
 
 She watched as he stripped the soaked, sudsy shirt off and flung it across the room. 
 
"Wow…" she muttered.
                    
She hadn’t meant for him to hear that, but he had. He looked at her and smiled devilishly.
 
 "So… you like what you see baby?" 
                    
She reached out and ran her finger across his bare chest.
 
 "Yeah, you could say that."
                    
"Better be careful… you are quickly approaching the point of no return. You do realize that, right?"
                    
She used actions as her response. She leaned over and began to kiss him,
 beginning at his mouth, then working her way down his neck, to his chest. She
lightly flicked her tongue across his nipple, and heard him sigh deeply. 
                    
Next thing she knew, he stood, and was climbing out of the tub. 
 
"Uh… going somewhere?"
