"Nicccccckkkkkk… please tell me where we're going, you know I hate surprises!" I whined. It had been four months since the whole argument and now Nick had me blindfolded, in the passenger seat of his car taking me god knows where, on our one-year anniversary.
"Well, you can just look for yourself," he replied stopping the car and removing my blindfold.
"Uhhh," I gasped. There before was a blanket laid on the soft sand of the beach, with two brightly light candles and a picnic basket.
"Happy Anniversary," he said opening my car door and escorting me over to the blanket.
"Nick I love it… No I love you."
"I love you too."
After eating the delicious meal Nick had prepared, we laid in each other's arms, just gazing at the stars.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Nick said pulling out a small velvet box, and handing it to me. "Open it," he urged.
"But Nick we already exchanged presents!"
"I know but this is a special gift, it has meaning!" I gave him a suspicious look and opened the box. Inside was a small gold band. "Here, let me," he said taking the ring and placing it on my left hand. Then he leaned close and gave me a long, deep and passionate kiss. I pulled away and glanced at the ring on my finger once more.
"Nick…I… I don't know what to say it's beautiful."
"It's a promise ring, see…I have one too…It means we're promised to each other!" he said.
"Together, Forever," I said.
"Always," he added as we continued our kiss.
After our romantic evening at the beach, Nick drove me back to my apartment.
"Do you want to come in," I asked as we stood in the doorway of my apartment.
"Well, I dunno, you know if I go in I may never leave."
"And that's a bad thing?" I asked.
"I really need to get home, I have an early rehearsal in the morning!"
"Okay," I said a little disappointed.
"I love you," he said kissing my cheek and walking back to his car.
"I love you too," I said as he drove out of sight. I was just about to go to sleep, when the doorbell broke my deep trance. Who could be here at this hour, I thought. When I realized I was only in one of Nicks over-sized t-shirts I grabbed my robe and slipped it on.
I opened the door and stood face to face with Nick. "Nick, what are you doing here, I thought you had an early rehearsal" I asked.
"I couldn't stand to be away." He replied grabbing me by the waist and making his way over to the sofa.
"Seriously, why?" All he did was kiss me. "MMMM….good reason," I answered.
He quickly pulled away, "Uhhh…. Where's Megan?"
"Oh, don't worry she's at Brian's!"
"OOOhhhhh…so do you think there getting it on?" he asked.
"NNNNNIIICCCCCKK, I SWEAR IS THAT WHATS ON YOUR MIND 24/7?" I screamed punching him.
"Well…I was just askin, Geez!"
