A Life Plan Without You. (84 page)

Oh hell, he quoted my argument right back at me. I smiled as
if he had the choice I wanted him from the minute I laid my eyes on
him too. I looked at my watch.

“Sam it’s dinner time, we’ve been at it all morning. Where’s
Jimmy?” Sam smiled and went to check.

“He’s fast asleep with Teddy Bear you Mi cielo have had more
sleep than me.” I looked in as he and Teddy were sleeping and
cuddling. I laughed and shut the door.

“I just hope they didn’t hear us angel, we were a little erg
vocal, but I really, really loved everything we did, I love you
Sam, so much.” He smiled and scooped me into his arms.

“Your mine Michelle, all mine forever, I loved everything we
did and I get the feeling how your feeling, is exactly how it
should be. Both of us happy and I can honestly say that felt like
my first time too, I’m a loved up fool and feeling the happiest I
have ever been, I feel amazing and so damn lucky to have you and I
mean to have a heck of a lot more of you. I felt so close to you,
as I took your gift and taking you was amazing, but I’m sure you
lied Mi cielo I hurt you didn’t I?” I smiled and held his face in
my hands he leant down for a kiss, whoosh the feelings that shot
through my body can you have a cold and a hot sweat at the same
time? The tingles as his lips touched mine, his hands around my
waist and kissing me.

“Yes Sam it did, if you knew how much angel you would have
stopped, it was the worst pain ever, but as we carried on it was
unreal the feelings were out of this world. I loved every single
minute of what we did and I will always remember it angel, always.
It was better than anything we have ever done, had done or will
ever do again, memorable and wonderful, do you know how much I love
you, how much I will always love you?” He kissed me again as I
sobbed into his shirt, like a bloody big girl. He laughed and
kissed me then wiped away the tears.

“I knew it was hurting you. I love you; I know I tell you all
the time, but I can’t live without you. Not now, not ever, your
mine and I’m yours and wow that sounded so, over the top but it’s
how I feel. I will kill to keep you and die without you Michelle
you are perfect in every way for me. Can we go back to bed? Have
you recovered enough yet?”

“No, my doodah is still sore it may need some cream for
rubbing in it you may have broken it.” He laughed.

“I may have broken something and I’m not sure if that’s
repairable, but umm rubbing in creams. That sounds like it could be
fun.”

“Sam, hells teeth your incorrigible, when did they get home
and how much did they hear?” He was checking his wallet and
smiling.

“They had a lot to drink last night and they came in about
five, together and falling all over the place, apparently they went
to a party with Jenny. Jimmy said it was at a caravan park. When I
looked in on them, they were fast asleep and snoring, before I woke
you again. It looks like they had a good night and it turned out to
be quite an engagement party of sort’s Mi cielo.” They had been to
a gathering at Dah’s, an honour, indeed.

“You have to ask Dad if you can put a ring on it.” I laughed
at the thought. He kissed me again to stop me talking. He looked so
nervous. “Don’t worry we can elope if he says no.” He still looked
pale.

“It’s going to be fine he knows I’m asking you, I just figured
do it right. I told him when you had that flip out with Fat Pat
that I intend to ask you to marry me, when I told him we had
decided that this weekend would be the one, I hadn’t broken my
promise, though I still half expected my legs broken, but he said
you knew what you wanted and it was up to you and me to decide. I
did prove we were serious by asking him Mi cielo, but now actually
asking him and it’s finally happening, it makes me feel sick
thinking that he will say no.”

“Sam you will be fine, stop worrying he actually likes you a
lot. Come on let’s get this damn perfect ring found fiancé, does it
have to be expensive?” I pulled him up, kissing him, I let out a
sigh as he pulled me closer my arms flaying at my sides, as if it
was our first kiss again...

“Damn expensive Michelle, expensive and jaw dropping but only
one that you like. Stop worrying if I couldn't afford it I wouldn't
be buying it.”

“You can change your mind now you’ve had your wicked way with
me. I promise I will pick one that I like and whatever the cost,
whether it be cheap or expensive you let me have that one, deal?” I
didn’t want him to dump me not after last night, no I wanted more
lots more, every step I took reminded me of what we did last night
and I smiled. He was grinning and looking pleased with himself. He
had every reason to smile. He did as he always says, he rocked my
world last night and well he did change my world last
night.

“Oh really fiancée? I may need to think about that option, now
I have had the best sex ever with the girl I have loved for months.
Let me think about that for a while.” He ordered a taxi and as we
waited for it, Kim came in.

“Afternoon, are you two off somewhere? You look very nice in
that dress by the way Michelle.” She was still very drunk from the
night before.

“Thank you and Kimbo where have you been? You’re a tad late in
getting back. We are going to shop for an engagement ring.” She
laughed.

“Nick knows how to party. Mother? You have lost weight and wow
you look like our Michelle too. What your actually letting him buy
you one? Oh, I must be drunker than I thought. Wake me up and show
me what you picked, I’m off tomorrow for the festival season, so I
will see you when I get back and you better pick a nice one, he can
afford it and you there better be a proper knee drop Samuel or I
will be angry, and I want details, all of them the good the bad and
the mucky, you two finally did the thing didn’t you?

Both of you were doing my tree in… I thought you would never
get it done, but no you two are all about bloody drama, still makes
for some good tales to tell the kids. I need you to have loads
seeing as I’m never having any, work on a couple for me to spoil,
oh my head. Expensive ring and jaw dropping Michelle, and something
to match those eyes, and shush he can afford it, he’s dead rich…”
She laughed said goodbye and went to bed. The taxi was here and we
got in.

“Drop us of at the top cinema please. I’ve thought about it
and no you’re just mine Mi cielo, just mine and for oh I don’t
know? How does always and forever sound, too long? It's a deal with
the ring too, whichever you want from the jewellers I pick.” We
headed for Distinct Jewellers; damn he’d picked this jeweller
because none of their window jewellery had prices on them. Very
clever Sam, but that also meant that this was a very expensive
jewellery store. My other ring was in the window too how much had
he already spent on me already?

“Right rules are Michelle, it has to be a ring you really
want, as there are no prices on the rings, so you pick the ring you
like.” I must be the only girl in the world who doesn’t want an
engagement ring. I loved the one I had.

“Alright, but nothing really big or I don’t look.” We
window-shopped first and I saw a nice one and I pointed to it. He
noted the tray number and we went in, holding me tightly. Smiling
as he looked at the assistant.

“Nice to see you again Sir, what can I do for you today?” Had
everything he got me come from here? I looked around, as Sam was
about to tell them the tray number, my locket was how much? Shit
this was an expensive store, I suddenly felt ill, and Sam saw my
face and held me tighter.

“Can we look at the rings on tray twelve please?” I
reluctantly looked at the one I liked and two others, both nice and
to die for. The choice was between these three. I had my finger
measured and the one I liked initially was the one that would fit.
Fate had decided which it would be.

“Congratulations you have excellent taste, Madam. This is a
stunning piece, it really is, it’s a deep blue cushion cut
sapphire, surrounded by pave set diamonds, oh what a ring. The pave
diamonds are wrapped in platinum, and descend to each side of the
ring, its slightly elevated here, to complement the snug fit to any
additional rings you may need to wear against it, it’s truly a
beautiful ring.” The sales assistant smiled as he described it.
“There is a haze of lilac, which also runs through it. This is a
rare sapphire and a quality gem, an heirloom any family would
welcome into their collection.” I smiled. Sam said it matched my
eyes as I picked it, it was a beautiful ring and it looked so very
nice on my finger, as soon as Sam slipped it on I fell in love with
it; damn the cost this was a stunning ring and it was
mine.

I took it off, giving it back to the assistant as I did I
smiled. Then he hit Sam with the price and I died who was I kidding
saying damn the cost, oh heck? Sam was busy paying for it and
smiling at my choice, I nudged his arm and signalled to the seat
outside, I went to get some air that had cost a small fortune and
he didn’t flinch. I needed to sit down, I wanted the one I had on
already, which was now been relegated back to the other hand, with
Emma’s ring. I watched through the window, as he handed his card
over and paid for it. He was in there a while longer, he was
looking at other things in there and his card was handed over
again, he came out smiling.

“What else did you buy Sam?” He got down on one knee and
opened the box. A beautiful pave set diamond and sapphire eternity
ring. It perfectly matched the ring I had chosen and was in the
same platinum as my engagement ring. It took my breath away,
everyone was watching in the square.

“Will you please marry me Michelle Welles?” I nodded my head
and he got up kissing me.

“Yes, yes, yes, oh definitely yes Sam. You normally give these
when you actually get married or have children or something
special. What are you like?” He smiled, as half of Stockton had
seen him on his knee asking me. I quickly pulled him to my lips
again kissing him.

“You gave me that something special last night. The best gift
ever, you gave yourself to me baby and this means always and
forever to me, your mine for an eternity Michelle.” I cried and
wrapped my arms around him.

“You are without a doubt the best thing ever in my life, and
you are spoiling me Sam and you don’t need to, really you don’t
need to but thank you these are really beautiful.” He put on my
engagement ring and then my eternity ring. They looked nice
together. He smiled and I cried.

“Well, we just need the other ring and we’re done. Michelle
let’s get a drink to celebrate and then I go ask your dad’s
permission.” I’ve been his since the first kiss, who was he trying
to kid? I’m also thinking he will need more than one for that bit.
We were having our drinks in, The Frog, when Zoë and Andy walked in
he was grinning and she had a smile all over her face.

“We have had a great day. Michelle, Sam you’ll be the first to
know, we are getting married.” She flashed her ring at me;
they had got engaged too,
given the chilly
reception at the family meal, their engagement came as a big
surprise to me and judging from the look on Sam’s face his
too.

“Aw that’s really nice, very pretty.” I kissed her and got up
to kiss Andy, in doing so I hid my rings from Andy. Sam noticed
what I’d done. I leaned over and kissed him, telling him I didn't
want to upset Zoë. “Mine are a lot nicer, and they got in first.”
He laughed and gave me a kiss, as we listened to their plans, we
were still in loved up mode and we were both on a sex craved high
and wanting more.

“We are going to elope to Gretna in a few weeks.” I laughed
and Zoë looked upset.

“No, no, Zoë, it’s just Sam is asking Dad’s permission today
and if he says no, we joked about doing the same first thing this
morning, really we did.” I excused myself I needed the toilet and
Zoë came with me.

“Sorry that sounded rude laughing at you, but we did actually
say if Dad says no were doing it anyway.” She caught a glimpse of
my rings and grabbed my hand.

“Michelle they are lovely, why did you hide them and why have
you got two?” I blushed.

“Well, you came in with your good news, and I didn’t want to
spoil your special day. I got the other ring because, well Sam said
we were going to be together for always and forever, I said that it
sounded like an eternity so, well he bought me an eternity ring too
he’s such a soppy sod.” I wasn’t that into her knowing we had spent
a whole night having mind-blowing sex, and it was his thank you
gift, in exchange for my gift. We got back to the table and I was
ordered to show my rings to Andy!

“Welcome
to the family little sis, did you put out then Sam, because that
grin you both have is not just a we got engaged look, that’s a
we’ve done the do look?”

“Andrew
Todd, you shouldn’t say things like that! Fancy asking if we had
mind blowing sex straight out like that and trying to embarrass
your little sister, but yeah he got over those obstacles he had and
more than made up for the wait, didn’t you angel?”

“Oh hell you didn’t just tell my brother what we did hell I
listened and I know you did, you two drive me potty, and yes thank
you we had a very nice time Andy a very nice time indeed! Now I
have to go ask for permission for her to wear the rings she picked
out, oh hell excuse me please?” After Sam threw up yet again with
the worry that was eating away at him we left them to it and went
to get the task done. We were outside my house in what seemed no
time at all.
