Re: The House Of Immortality
- Abby post part 1:
- Hawaii was a perfect paradise for Holland and I. The days were pretty sunny and the nights were quiet and peaceful… Well, unless we decided to f***, then the nights weren’t quiet and peaceful at all! It was really great, here, and Holland seemed to be having fun, which was good because this entire trip was for her, to fulfil one of her dreams. As promised, I only paid for the meals and some of the drinks on this vacation – since I wasn’t eating or drinking, it wasn’t too expensive - , then my beautiful yet somewhat annoyingly ‘No no, let me pay for that’ girlfriend bought the rest of the drinks and, to avoid arguments, we decided to buy souvenirs and stuff individually; I bought a cute tiki keychain for my motorcycle keys. The only bad part about the vacation was having to sneak out at night to drink blood from some of the locals, because, oddly enough, they didn’t serve glasses of blood at the bar. Or any bar.
Today had been the day that we had the surfing lesson. Of course, Holland didn’t really need the lesson, so the instructor spent most of the on-land part of the lesson helping me learn what to do. He was, I’ll admit, a good looking, shirtless guy and although he kept things professional, I could see Holland over his shoulder, giving him slight glares and looking all tense as he placed his hands on my waist to help me get into the right sort of position on the board. Her glares practically screamed, ‘You’re getting too handsy with her. Back off, surfer dude, she’s mine.’ And it actually kinda felt nice to see her showing some signs of jealousy. I mean, obviously, Holland had absolutely nothing to worry about with this guy, but to know that she cared enough about me to get jealous over someone else’s proximity… I dunno, it just made me feel even more loved than ever before.
Still, all that instructing didn’t help much. I mean, I wasn’t a complete disaster but I did fall off the board occasionally and hadn’t quite mastered getting up on a wave. When I had given up on trying, I just sat on my board and watched Holland, gazing in awe as she attempted a few tricks here and there, watching her body twist and turn to guide the board up and over the waves. I’ve never really been a fan of any kind of sport, but watching my girlfriend right now, I decided that I could get used to surfing. Maybe I’d buy Holland her own surfboard this summer, since there was a little beach near the mansion. Maybe I’d buy two and she could teach me how to surf properly.
For the rest of the day we just went sightseeing while taking lots of photos, chilled by the hotel’s swimming pool and grabbed some dinner from one of the little restaurants in the town. By the time night fell, we returned to the hotel and hung out at the bar, which was always open until 3am and had quite a few people who’d stay out that long just to enjoy the company of the bartender and other residents. By the time it was about 1am, Holland had had a couple cocktails – luckily, she could hold her liquor and wasn’t drunk – and we had broken away from the socializing group to cuddle in one of the hut-like seating areas and simply enjoy each other’s company. Actually, Holland was doing most of the cuddling right now, her arms wrapped around me as I snuggled into her side as she talked animatedly about plans for tomorrow, but that didn’t matter much since, in a minute, I wouldn’t be in her arms at all.
I didn’t want to interrupt Holland when she looked so excited and happy, because seeing her this way and knowing that I caused it was… Incredibly special to me, but I just had to ask her a couple things so, as soon as the beautiful brunette took a moment of pause, I jumped in with my first question. “Hey, so the other day I was thinking about our future because, you know, I’m all deep and stuff-“ It was true, I could be deep at times when I thought about things, but I thought it’d be a somewhat funny to just randomly mention it right now. “And I was just thinking… If I were to – and this is hypothetical, by the way – propose to you right now, would you say yes or no?” I was trying to make it sound as if I was having doubts about whether I’d be someone Holland would want to marry, but I wasn’t laying it on thick because I didn’t want to guilt-trip her into saying yes to this hypothetical proposal; I wanted an honest answer so that I knew whether or not to move onto the next question.
Exterior of the hut:
Interior of the hut:
Just in case Linz comes online later, though I doubt it, even if it is the last chance rp the proposal before I give up on it.
I'll reply to Britt's posts tomorrow.
And Scampi still needs to reply to the Luna rescue stuff.

They're all going to attack, but Jack's main focus wouldn't be fighting, it'd be getting to Luna.

Re: The House Of Immortality
Kyle: I hated seeing Taylor like this, but it really was just too dangerous. I wasn't going to be risking her life. Ever. I smiled at her to comfort her. "Don't worry, I won't. I'm tougher than I look, you know." I frowned as she curled up on the floor, she really was upset about not helping. It was better if she didn't; we needed to worry about Luna, not Taylor. I heard the door open and that meant it was time to go so I headed towards the door, following after them, preparing myself both physically and mentally for the fight to come.
Jack: I think I had shocked everyone with how serious I was today. They were all so used to the fun-loving, playful Jack Frost... Not someone who only spoke when they really needed to. I just wanted to get my daughter back, though. I was so worried about her because clearly they did horrid things to her in tehre that I really didn't want to think about. The plan was for me to sneak past them and just try to steal Luna away. This was going to be hard because I didn't exactly know the layout. And there was bound to be serious security. I swallowed the lump in my throat before leaving my spot on the truck. I walked up to the front, pushing my way past a few people. I felt like I needed to be up at the front to get in first. Nobody stopped me.
When Denzel gave the signal, everything went into action.
I didn't pay much attention to the people around me, my main focus was getting to my daughter. Once in the building I started to try and locate my daughter. I turned a corner and came face to face with a guard. He couldn't see me luckily. I froze up his body and stole his pass, I had a way of actually getting into places now. I could hear an alarm of some sorts going off, and I could see groups of the people in uniform heading to where they had all attacked from. I wanted to try and stop them in their tracks, but I just wanted to get Luna back in my arms as quickly as I could. Besides, they knew what they were doing... With that in mind I continued on, trying to locate Luna.
There you go, a replywritten pretty much out of guilt sorry if it's shit, didn't really know what to put :-)

Not room-tidying, storage unit tidying. Dad bought me a new tower so I had to move things from the old one to the new one and try to tidy it in the process >.<

New storage tower, you know, where there's a bunch of drawers stacked on top of each other?

Re: The House Of Immortality
"I'm pretty sure every pool you apply to will at least condder you due to your athleticism, but that doesn't mean that they'll definitely want to hire you." I pointed out with a shrug. "I mean, no offense, but you do lack people skills, or at least the ability to just smile and nod when someone annoys you. Plus you can be quite impulse and, well, the owners of the pools might not want a lifeguard who acts before they think, especially when health and safety is involved." Hopefully Rose would work on these issues, of at least hide them during interviews, otherwise finding a job might be a lot harder for her.
So Laura was behind all this? She was going to get a lecture from me tomorrow! She knew that I had entrusted that key to her and her alone; not even boyfriends were meant to get their hands on it! She was just lucky that I trusted James not to steal anything while I wasn't around. That still didn't mean he got away with breaking and entering, though, and the fact that he pointed out that I had foolishly left the safety on irked me, so much so that my answer to his question came out a little harsher than intended. "Work was fine." Once I realized the tone of my voice, I sighed, trying to correct it. "It's just... I'm really tired and Laura broke a promise never to give the spare key to anyone and now I have to deal with you being i my apartment without my permission and-" Glancing over to the pots and pans on the stove, I narrowed my eyes at them in confusion. "Why're you cooking me dinner? It's 2am, James, why you fussing over dinner at this time of the morning?" Ugh, morning. I had yet to sleep and it was already technically morning!
I'mma let Ali post next for the Luna Rescue thing. Alex can follow after Jack and Yuffie will join them, since she knows the way. Kyle should probably follow them, too.

Re: The House Of Immortality
He was right "But I cant change how I am just for a job. Hell, I could probably go for a job of a bouncer if I wanted to. I'd be good on that." I shrugged, that would be a good job but Zack would want me home at night so we can cuddle and watch some tv or something like that. Then again, a job is a job. "I do lack some skills but thats just how I am. I cant change that as if its flipping a switch. Is me being a lifeguard a good idea?" I asked him, hoping to hear his opinion on the matter.
James looked at the time "Huh, I didnt realize about the time. But come on, you have to be just a little bit hungry. Working all night makes your stomach call for food." he teased "But, dont yell at laura for this. I just had to get it because well..I felt that saying sorry just wasnt enough and I felt like I should do something a little more then that. I promise that I didnt make a copy of the key. As if I had time to do that. I'm giving this back to her tomorrow so you have nothing to worry about. Go rest, maybe take a nice hot shower? I brought some candles so you can light those if you wanted to just sit in the tub for a bit. And no, there is no catch to my little plans." he kissed her softly and pulled away, going back to the food and making sure it was prepped properly

Re: The House Of Immortality
"Well..." I pursed my lips, trying to think about how to word my answer. "Being a bouncer would suit you better, but if you work at night you wont be able to go Strigoi huntig at might so... Unless you want to give up Strigoi hunting, a dayjob as a lifeguard is probably your best bet." Sighing, I wrapped an arm around Rose and rubbed her shoulder soothingly. "If you really want to be a bouncer, there might be a few places that'll only make you work at the weekends when it's busiest. That way you could go out killing Strigoi on the weeknights." Considering the fact that I spent the entire day, Monday to Friday, at college, that'd suck but I was woing to sacrifice some alone time if she really wanted to go out hunting.
Dinner? Candles? All in order to apologise for something I had forgotten about? That was really sweet, and it was a nice gesture after a long day of work. Even though I hated secrets and hated him going behind my back, I guess I could let it slide. "Alright, you get away with breaking and entering this time, but next time give me a heads up, ok? I don't want to end up killing you. And James?" I cupped his head with my hands, looking into his eyes with a serious gaze. "You don't need to keep trying to make it up to me. I forgive you, so now you just have to give yourself." Smiling softly, I gave James a kiss, then moved awa from him. "I guess I'll leave you to your cooking duties." And, with that, I left the kitchen and headed in the direction of my bedroom.

Re: The House Of Immortality
I leaned on Zack as he wrapped his arm around me "I'll cut out Strigoi hunting nights. Or well, some. If I were to get the Bouncer job, I'll strigoi hunt tusdays and thursdays one week, and then the next Monday, wensday and friday. I'll just repeat those two weeks. So we'll have time together." looking up at him, I smiled softly "That is something I can work with, hopefully, you can work with it too." standing up from the chair, I gently pressed my lips to his before pulling away "I wouldnt want to get rid of our small time together." I smiled softly and took his hand.
A smile appeared on James's face "I wont break and enter again. Unless I need to." he chuckled and watched her go "Also dont get the wrong Idea when you walk in there. I dont wanna get slapped or something" he chuckled but warned her, not wanting to be lectured because her mind decided to go elsewhere. He then went back to taking care of the food. Once he was sure it was okay on its own, he decided to do the dishes so there wasnt much to do when he was finished. Plus he didnt want his love to go and clean when she already had a crazy day with her job.

Re: The House Of Immortality
Holland: There wasn't really much to say about Hawaii that the rumors were wrong about. It's hot, the sun is constantly beating down on the island, and I've already gotten a pretty decent tan because of it. Abby and I have had a few days to decently try out the scenery, lots of cuisine on my part as well as drinking, because the nightlife is amazing. I just wonder for Abby's sake whether the native people of Hawaii are better tasting than the people of Seattle... It was worth asking later, because I assume these sun enriched people of deep ancestry, pure blood around here would be wonderful for her tastes. Maybe I'm thinking too much like a vampire. I'm human, I have to remind myself of that.
I will say that surfing got interesting. We attended those classes that she informed me that she needed, and though I wanted to admire my girlfriend in a bikini I was far too distracted by the Hawaiian surf instructor that was getting really handsy. I mean, he was decently attractive, and he was decently shirtless as well, and that gave me this third wheel feeling as he positioned Abby. Who wouldn't feel like an outsider when watching that even unfold? I wanted to rip him away from her and teach her myself, but I figured that I'd be even worse in the handsy department. I doubt I'd be able to put my hands on her without trying to drag her back to our place. I suppose I had to handle watching that tan, beautiful man handle Abby and keep any comments to myself. Damn if I was going to force myself to get along with this guy though. I grabbed the long board I had rented and headed to the ocean when he convinced Abby to get in the water for real, finally feeling a little more in my element.
When I was in Thailand there were waves all the time. TJ always had this obsession with watching me surf, telling me that I had talent, and I would've felt special if he didn't turn around and try to make me sell the merchandise to my surfing pals. By the end of my first year in Thailand I didn't have friends, I had shells atop surfboards, too stoned to care. Thinking about it, this was the first time I had been on a board since Thailand and I feel like that's not decent, I need to get back into hobbies that I love, I'm not in prison anymore.
Abby failed miserably, and I think the instructor just kinda migrated to doing his own thing, which was sort of majestic to watch. He was so spiritually connected with the water, he could do so much more than I could, but I gave it a go and surprisingly I could remember loads from when I was in my prime. I say that like I'm getting super old or something... I guess I am getting old, but it's okay. Abby watched, and she thinks I don't know but I do. I can feel her eyes on me. Eyes find eyes, that's something I heard once. It's like a magnetic pull, and attraction between two windows to the soul. Eyes find eyes. Maybe I picked it up watching a movie, but it makes sense. Don't judge me for it.
It was sudden, but the day seemed to rush past. Some tanning by the pool, dinner for one with company, and then drinks. God, I must've had half a dozen shots of Beam and I can feel it warming my entire body. Maybe that's just the company of Abby? I don't know, I just love this state so much. This trip is fantastic. How had I not convinced TJ to take me here when I was dealing? It's absolutely perfect, so much better than Thailand. Focussing, I could picture something like this for my future. We need to make a habit out of trips like this. Maybe I'll go back to school, get a decent career, and I'll have the kind of money to do this kind of thing all the time? Take Abby out next time, expenses of the trip on me entirely?
It was a surprise to hear Abby speak up, I figured she'd be the one to admire this moment silently. She's the brooding, quiet one most of the time. She started talking about her thoughts, and of course I was one hundred and ten percent interested, her thoughts were absolutely hard to draw forward. Our future had crossed my own mind, and I wasn't sure which path it was going down. What was next for us? A place of our own outside the mansion? I listened on, smiling wildly unintentionally, the alcohol obviously a wonderful lift to my spirit. Proposal? I raised a brow and bit my lower lip, feigning thought. There wasn't any thinking about it, my answer was already on the end of my tongue. I mean, who else was I going to spend my life with? Abby is my soulmate, and I believe that very seriously. "Hypothetically, yes. I'd agree to marry you, of course." Pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose, I shook my head and scoffed. "What the hell kind of question is that? Of course I'd say yes. I mean..." A shrug and I figured that she'd fill in the blanks, an easy explanation being obvious.
Sterling: There's nothing more wonderful in the world than working in the nursery at the hospital. Babies aren't judgmental, they don't look at somebody and decide whether they like them in the first moments. They don't see a broken person with the weight of the world on her shoulders, they see a surrogate. A woman who takes care of them temporarily and talks to them, though they don't understand.
There's nothing more awful in the world than being me. I wake up and my hair is always a mess, my pillow is always the only company I wake up to, and my head always hurts because of the talking that goes on even when I'm sleeping. The routine in the morning is a scramble, I throw on any pair of jeans that fit, a shirt that doesn't really look too flattering, normally branding me as a cheesehead or a Green Bay fan right off hand. I need to find new clothes here in Seattle. My car is small, and I'm a tall woman. It's decent to say that I have difficulty. I get to work, I have to undress and shower thoroughly, which becomes a hassle because I get there later than most people and the hot water is on full blast, scalding usually. I guess it's one way to be super clean. My scrubs are confusing, long pants normally found in the "big and tall" section. Pale green, uniformly required by the hospital. I have to tie my hair up high or else my scrubs end up wet, and I don't have time for makeup. Actually, I haven't worn makeup in a few months. Don't tell Alaska.
The only part of my life that's wonderful is the nursery wing. I have nothing else to live for. Hell, on my way to the wing I have to walk through the hospital, and with my gifts that's so destructive. I see and talk to the dead, not ideal for a woman who works in a place where lives are lost all the time. People talking to me, yelling at me, trying to keep me grounded in one place to focus on their issues. I can't do it, I have responsibilities. I've helped a few of them, on my lunch break and when I get off work. That's why I love the nursery. Even the dead understand a place where life is necessary. Where innocence needs to prevail and death needs to fall back. I spend hours there, watching infants and talking to them about my problems. Who else will listen? Alaska?
When I get off work I find one person, somebody who has been trying to get my attention, and I listen. I try to find a solution and if I don't I promise to try again the next day. I go home in my little car. I get dinner, normally a frozen meal thawed in the microwave to suit my needs. Then I go to my room, I undress and shower again, put on something to sleep in and curl into Humphrey, my pillow. That's my life. Yay.
When I have a day off, like today, I don't have a clue what to do. I wake up late for one, I spend longer than five seconds thinking about my outfit. Today I put on some jeans, just regular denim jeans that fit me the way I crave. A tank top, white with stripes, and some navy blue converse. It's usually the longest I ever think about what I'm wearing. I pinned my hair up into a bun today, messy but reserved to keep it casual, and that's where my schedule ends. I can never figure out anything beyond that. I roamed the halls the first couple weeks here, now I don't know.
As of now, almost noon, I'm seated on the couch trying to contemplate what I'm doing with my life. I'm not that old, right? I have a future. I have a nice job, a decent sister, and a wonderful pillow. I shouldn't be so ashamed that I have nothing but work. I don't have friends because I can't find the right time to make any. That's not such a bad thing, right? I have a few friends who will be around forever, and that's not so bad. A few babies, who can't really reject my friendship. God... I'm pathetic. Burying my head into the throw pillow, I groaned. I mean, who was around to watch me be incredibly embarrassing? Nobody, and that was wonderful.
I will say that surfing got interesting. We attended those classes that she informed me that she needed, and though I wanted to admire my girlfriend in a bikini I was far too distracted by the Hawaiian surf instructor that was getting really handsy. I mean, he was decently attractive, and he was decently shirtless as well, and that gave me this third wheel feeling as he positioned Abby. Who wouldn't feel like an outsider when watching that even unfold? I wanted to rip him away from her and teach her myself, but I figured that I'd be even worse in the handsy department. I doubt I'd be able to put my hands on her without trying to drag her back to our place. I suppose I had to handle watching that tan, beautiful man handle Abby and keep any comments to myself. Damn if I was going to force myself to get along with this guy though. I grabbed the long board I had rented and headed to the ocean when he convinced Abby to get in the water for real, finally feeling a little more in my element.
When I was in Thailand there were waves all the time. TJ always had this obsession with watching me surf, telling me that I had talent, and I would've felt special if he didn't turn around and try to make me sell the merchandise to my surfing pals. By the end of my first year in Thailand I didn't have friends, I had shells atop surfboards, too stoned to care. Thinking about it, this was the first time I had been on a board since Thailand and I feel like that's not decent, I need to get back into hobbies that I love, I'm not in prison anymore.
Abby failed miserably, and I think the instructor just kinda migrated to doing his own thing, which was sort of majestic to watch. He was so spiritually connected with the water, he could do so much more than I could, but I gave it a go and surprisingly I could remember loads from when I was in my prime. I say that like I'm getting super old or something... I guess I am getting old, but it's okay. Abby watched, and she thinks I don't know but I do. I can feel her eyes on me. Eyes find eyes, that's something I heard once. It's like a magnetic pull, and attraction between two windows to the soul. Eyes find eyes. Maybe I picked it up watching a movie, but it makes sense. Don't judge me for it.
It was sudden, but the day seemed to rush past. Some tanning by the pool, dinner for one with company, and then drinks. God, I must've had half a dozen shots of Beam and I can feel it warming my entire body. Maybe that's just the company of Abby? I don't know, I just love this state so much. This trip is fantastic. How had I not convinced TJ to take me here when I was dealing? It's absolutely perfect, so much better than Thailand. Focussing, I could picture something like this for my future. We need to make a habit out of trips like this. Maybe I'll go back to school, get a decent career, and I'll have the kind of money to do this kind of thing all the time? Take Abby out next time, expenses of the trip on me entirely?
It was a surprise to hear Abby speak up, I figured she'd be the one to admire this moment silently. She's the brooding, quiet one most of the time. She started talking about her thoughts, and of course I was one hundred and ten percent interested, her thoughts were absolutely hard to draw forward. Our future had crossed my own mind, and I wasn't sure which path it was going down. What was next for us? A place of our own outside the mansion? I listened on, smiling wildly unintentionally, the alcohol obviously a wonderful lift to my spirit. Proposal? I raised a brow and bit my lower lip, feigning thought. There wasn't any thinking about it, my answer was already on the end of my tongue. I mean, who else was I going to spend my life with? Abby is my soulmate, and I believe that very seriously. "Hypothetically, yes. I'd agree to marry you, of course." Pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose, I shook my head and scoffed. "What the hell kind of question is that? Of course I'd say yes. I mean..." A shrug and I figured that she'd fill in the blanks, an easy explanation being obvious.
Sterling: There's nothing more wonderful in the world than working in the nursery at the hospital. Babies aren't judgmental, they don't look at somebody and decide whether they like them in the first moments. They don't see a broken person with the weight of the world on her shoulders, they see a surrogate. A woman who takes care of them temporarily and talks to them, though they don't understand.
There's nothing more awful in the world than being me. I wake up and my hair is always a mess, my pillow is always the only company I wake up to, and my head always hurts because of the talking that goes on even when I'm sleeping. The routine in the morning is a scramble, I throw on any pair of jeans that fit, a shirt that doesn't really look too flattering, normally branding me as a cheesehead or a Green Bay fan right off hand. I need to find new clothes here in Seattle. My car is small, and I'm a tall woman. It's decent to say that I have difficulty. I get to work, I have to undress and shower thoroughly, which becomes a hassle because I get there later than most people and the hot water is on full blast, scalding usually. I guess it's one way to be super clean. My scrubs are confusing, long pants normally found in the "big and tall" section. Pale green, uniformly required by the hospital. I have to tie my hair up high or else my scrubs end up wet, and I don't have time for makeup. Actually, I haven't worn makeup in a few months. Don't tell Alaska.
The only part of my life that's wonderful is the nursery wing. I have nothing else to live for. Hell, on my way to the wing I have to walk through the hospital, and with my gifts that's so destructive. I see and talk to the dead, not ideal for a woman who works in a place where lives are lost all the time. People talking to me, yelling at me, trying to keep me grounded in one place to focus on their issues. I can't do it, I have responsibilities. I've helped a few of them, on my lunch break and when I get off work. That's why I love the nursery. Even the dead understand a place where life is necessary. Where innocence needs to prevail and death needs to fall back. I spend hours there, watching infants and talking to them about my problems. Who else will listen? Alaska?
When I get off work I find one person, somebody who has been trying to get my attention, and I listen. I try to find a solution and if I don't I promise to try again the next day. I go home in my little car. I get dinner, normally a frozen meal thawed in the microwave to suit my needs. Then I go to my room, I undress and shower again, put on something to sleep in and curl into Humphrey, my pillow. That's my life. Yay.
When I have a day off, like today, I don't have a clue what to do. I wake up late for one, I spend longer than five seconds thinking about my outfit. Today I put on some jeans, just regular denim jeans that fit me the way I crave. A tank top, white with stripes, and some navy blue converse. It's usually the longest I ever think about what I'm wearing. I pinned my hair up into a bun today, messy but reserved to keep it casual, and that's where my schedule ends. I can never figure out anything beyond that. I roamed the halls the first couple weeks here, now I don't know.
As of now, almost noon, I'm seated on the couch trying to contemplate what I'm doing with my life. I'm not that old, right? I have a future. I have a nice job, a decent sister, and a wonderful pillow. I shouldn't be so ashamed that I have nothing but work. I don't have friends because I can't find the right time to make any. That's not such a bad thing, right? I have a few friends who will be around forever, and that's not so bad. A few babies, who can't really reject my friendship. God... I'm pathetic. Burying my head into the throw pillow, I groaned. I mean, who was around to watch me be incredibly embarrassing? Nobody, and that was wonderful.

Re: The House Of Immortality
I already had the majority of this written out so... Tra da!
And I'll reply to Britt's posts later when I come home from college

- Abby post part 2:
- Well at least Holland said that she’d hypothetically accept my proposal! Heck, she did more than accept, she made it sound like it was obvious she'd say yes, that there was no one else she'd want to marry! That made me confident enough to go onto the 2nd and most important question I had to ask her. But first, the distraction! “I’m glad you’d say yes because, well,” With a sheepish smile I pulled a folded piece of paper out from my back pocket – it had been there since we went out for dinner, I just wanted to find a more private moment to present it. “I kinda got a little down about it all, worrying that there were a lot of reasons why you’d say no, so I wrote a list of reasons why you should marry me. I couldn’t exactly think of 101 reasons, so I decided to come up with 10+1 reasons; I’d figured it’d be good enough.” Unfolding that paper, I handed it over, admitting as I did so, “It’s kinda half-serious, half-jokey, but you might be able to get a little laugh out of it.” The piece of paper was appropriately named ‘10+1 reasons why you should marry me’ and, despite claiming that it was just written randomly to boost my self-esteem, it spoke directly to Holland instead of myself. Hopefully that wouldn’t be too much of a clue as to what was really going on.
- 10+1 reasons why you should marry me:
- 1) Because we’re soulmates.
2) Because I may be a dog-lover, but I can learn to love cats.
3) Because who wouldn’t want to marry a 5 year old Vamp-Angel who’s messed up in the head?
4) Because kids are annoying, but I’m willing to put up with them if becoming a mom would make you happy.
5) Because if we’re both supposedly going insane, wouldn’t it be better to spend the rest of our insane lives together as wives?
6) Because weddings are expensive, overrated and sappy, but I’d let you plan your dream wedding, no matter how expensive, overrated and sappy you want it to be.
7) Because I’ll still love you even when (/if) you get old and wrinkly - even if you start forgetting who I am.
Because Holland Wilson sounds like an epic name. So does Abby Pierce. And Holland Wilson-Pierce. Basically, no matter what our last names will be, it’ll sound awesome!
9) Because, despite the predator-prey relationship, this Foxy would never hurt her Love Bunny.
10) Because marriage doesn’t necessarily mean ‘Settling down’. We could go travelling and have sex in as many countries as you want
10+1) Because no one else could ever love you as much as I do.
While Holland read the piece of paper, I carefully shuffled out of her embrace and got into position, pulling out the little blue velvet box from my pocket and getting down on one knee. I didn’t open the box yet, not wanting her to get distracted from my proposal speech by the ring, but it was still pretty obvious that this was a proposal. By the time Holland had finished reading and noticed me, my heart was beating so hard that I could hear it thudding in my ears. Was that even possible? Wait, no, now wasn’t the time to get distracted by trivial questions!
“So, I, uh, might’ve lied about it being a hypothetical proposal, in case you haven’t noticed.” I rubbed the back of my neck nervously, before dropping that hand and taking a deep breath, looking into Holland’s blue, speckled eyes. “I’m not good at speeches and, to be entirely honest, I’m a little nervous right now, so this is probably going to come out wrong, but I just wanna say that you mean the world to me. That’s… Probably really obvious, but I thought it’d be best to say it out loud, just in case you didn’t realize it.” Well that was a c***py start! I probably should’ve rehearsed this out loud, rather than in my head, but it was too late now, I just had to continue and hope for the best.
“Holland, pretty much all my life I’ve felt like a monster. I’ve had people had people run and hide whenever I looked like I was on the verge of snapping, I’ve had people openly hate me because of the things I do and I’ve caused so much damage, not just to things like furniture and possessions, but to people as well. I’ve always been too much for people to handle and, well, eventually those people have left me, and even if they have come back, it doesn’t change the fact that they left in the first place – that I made them leave because of the things I had done to them.” I hadn’t realized that my gaze had lowered until I finished that sentence and felt the shame and guilt weighing down on me. As I thought about the next part of my speech, however, I was able to push those feelings away and look at my girlfriend with a genuine smile.
“But then I met you, and you’re so understanding and supportive, and you don’t run and hide when I get difficult, you say ‘Don’t worry, I’m here, we’re going to get through this together’. I’ve never had anyone say that to me before. You make me feel… Human, and I know I’m not technically human, but that’s not the point, the point is that I don’t feel like a monster anymore – I don’t feel like I’m only good for causing chaos and destruction –“ Note: I was pretty much ignoring my brother’s constant reminders, here. Sure, he made me feel those things but he was a douche who wasn’t even worth acknowledging right now. Besides, he was out of my life, for now, hopefully forever. “And someone who’s able to make me feel this way is someone I’d be an idiot not to marry.”
Taking another deep breath – mostly because I felt like I had rambled that part to Holland and spoken it in one breath – I took a moment to collect my thoughts, then spoke the final words of my proposal speech. “I could go on for ages about how much you mean to me, but I want to keep this short so that I don’t send you to sleep halfway through the speech. I want us to start our futures together, Holland. I want us to get married, and move into our own apartment and maybe even adopt a kid, if I can manage to control my anger. I want to wake up to you every morning and be able to say ‘Wow, this is my amazing wife. I am so lucky to be married to her’ and, as cheesy as it sounds, I want us to spend the rest of our lives together, no matter how long or short our lives are. So, Holland Carolyn ‘Hot Stuff’ ‘Love Bunny’ ‘Soulmate’ Pierce,” It wasn’t until now that I opened the little box, which revealed the engagement ring that displayed two hearts crossing in an infinity symbol. “Will you marry me?”- The engagement ring:
