47 Grace Steel The Star (2/2)
Eli squeezed her hand as they both looked up at the sky.Olivia gave a small sigh ”Mom... 'they' don't come every year but I really hoped that we could at least.... ELI DID YOU SEE! They came... they came!” she started to cry.Eli pulled her into his chest an hugged her with all his might ”I saw them.” he gently said to her as he placed a kiss on the top of her head.
Olivia wiped her tears away and looked at Eli ”Thank you for being here with me.” she said with a bittersweet smile.Eli brought his face in closely and gently placed his lips over hers.The kiss was so soft Olivia almost didn't feel it.As Eli moved back he pulled out his phone 11:58 p.m. ”Olivia there is something I need to do...”Olivia's heart dropped to her stomach, she wanted to ask him what and try to keep him from leaving but she had been selfish enough today.”Ok I understand...” she said a little gloomy.
At that moment the sky lit up with dozens of shooting stars ”Eli! A meteor shower!” she shouted happily as she tugged on his shoulder.Eli laughed as he got up ”Now I know I have luck on my side!” he happily said.Olivia was confused, she couldn't figure out why a meteor shower could be lucky until she saw what he was doing.
Eli pulled off his gloves, tossed them to the side and pulled out something from his jacket pocket.He bent down on one knee and revealed a tiny black box in the palm of his one hand.”Olivia” he started ”You came into my life with a bang, I first saw you on the train in the spring I thought you were so beautiful, I could only watch you from behind a book.I had no courage to talk to you but I would watch you from a far.”
”I got to hear your voice the first time in the park when you started shout 'only looking', I thought you were so cute when you turned red and ran away.When I bumped into you at a cafe, I was so nervous but then I thought I was the luckiest person in the world to see you again... but I made you cry...over the last few months we gone through so much together, we have seen the worst, the best and not the most pleasant parts of each other I can't help but smile.”
”Though our time together has not been that long, I see you as my best friend, my rock, my lover and one of the main reasons I live, so I know from the bottom of my heart that you are the only one for me.”
Eli gently pulled the lid up from the box, Olivia gasped and brought her hands to her mouth, eyes wide and teary as she saw her mother's ring.”Olivia will you marry me?” Eli asked with so much tenderness that it made Olivia speechless.She nodded her head with so much force that Eli couldn't help but laugh.”Yes, yes, yes!” she sang as Eli pulled her left glove off her hand and slid the ring onto her finger.
Olivia jumped onto Eli. causing them both to fall back onto the porch floor.They looked at each other and burst out laughing.Eli hugged her tightly ”You said yes.” he whispered with delight ”I'm not dreaming right?”This time it was Olivia's turn to laugh ”I said yes.”
They brought their faces close to each other and slowly kissed each other.Olivia felt her cheeks flush from the intimacy while Eli suddenly became breathless ”Olivia can you please get up now?This position is a little...” he muttered as he tried to get up.Olivia grabbed his shoulders and pulled her face up to his and gave him a deep kiss,she wanted to be the one who tasted the other first.Eli let out a small shudder and kissed her back harder.
”No wait, wait... wait.You're making things really dangerous right now I can't take anymore!” Eli shouted breathlessly as he pried her lips from his.Olivia bit her bottom lip, her eyes were sparkling and cheeks were now dyed red ”What if I want to...”
Bang the gates were opened and Eli kissed her hard.He got off the floor and picked her up, cradling her in his arms, Olivia was shocked and wrapped her arms around his neck when he started to walk to the door ”Where are we going?” she asked.Eli's opened the door and carried her into the cottage, princess style.Olivia could now see his pupils dilate as he answered ”Your room.”
