Click hereI lay there, trembling, my mind awhirl. Here we were naked, and he was...proposing?
The pained look on his face was what finally snapped me out of it.
"Will you Beth? Will you marry me?"
"Yes," I whispered. "Curt, yes."
I reached for him, my hand trembling in mid air.
"Thank Christ," Curt choked as he captured my hand in his, kissing it, pulling me from my prone position into his arms and holding me tight. So tight I could scarcely breathe.
There was nothing for me to do but cry, which of course only made him hold me tighter, stroking my hair as he tried to soothe me.
"Sweet Bethany, sshhh..." he cooed as my sobs slowly subsided.
"I love you Curt," I murmured as I pulled back to look him in the eye.
"I love you too Beth," he smiled tenderly before taking my left hand and feeding a ring onto my finger.
I shook my head as I stared at it. It was blinding. Stunning.
"You don't like it?"
"Curt," I gushed. "I love it. I love it!"
"Again, thank Christ."
"When?"
"When what?"
"When should we get married, silly!" I giggled.
"Well I have some business that needs tending to this week, but I'd say if you're okay eloping, how about next week?"
Eloping.
It wasn't the worst idea, given the circumstances. But I'd always dreamt of walking down the aisle with my father.
"As much as I would love to take the easy road Curt, I think I need to tell my parents, get their blessing, and if they're in agreement, organize a traditional wedding at our family's church," I explained.
"Naturally," Curt nodded. "I'm sorry, again. I wasn't thinking."
"You were thinking with your heart Curt," I smiled. "And I love you for it. But I want to do this right."
"Whatever you want baby. Just tell me, and we'll do it."
"Next week then, I'll introduce you to my mom and dad."
"Great," Curt smiled, his eyes lighting up suddenly. "You know, I'm pretty sure we play the Timberwolves next week. What do you say we all go see the game together?"
"Curt, if that doesn't put you in my parents' good graces, nothing will," I grinned, bouncing excitedly on the bed before tackling him.
Curt laughed as I forced him down on the bed, using all my body weight to do it, and it was still no easy task.
"I love you," I reminded him as I straddled his belly.
"I've noticed," Curt grinned, stroking my tummy affectionately.
I reciprocated, putting my hand on his fuzzy chest, feeling his heartbeat.
"Make love to me Curt. Show me again."

Namaste9over 5 years agoJoodle,
From one woman to another, one human to another, as a mother, sister, and friend I am so sorry for your loss. May your heart and body heal by the grace of God. As the last poster said, we wish you and your family the best and hope for your quick recovery. It would be more than understandable if you withdrew from writing for a time if not indefinitely. I don't like to read comments of others on stories because I dislike negativity, but I find myself compelled to say that in my opinion the naysayers are wrong. Wrong to judge, wrong to write words of hate, and wrong that your writing is anything but wonderous.
God bless you
Forever a fan Namaste9

joodleover 5 years agoAuthorHello and Happy New Year to all. I wish it was getting off to a happier start for me. Over xmas I went through a miscarriage, and find myself lacking of inspiration and sexual energy. I'm chipping away at DID Ch 16, but wanted to give you all a heads up that it may take longer than usual. But I swear on all that is holy, I will not disappear--unless I am literally taken from this earth, which hopefully is not in the cards. Got two rare medical conditions I'm facing right now, and hoping neither will be a huge deal to overcome. I estimate DID will post again by February, but can't make any solid guarantees. If anyone wants a notification email please let me know. Thanks and love to all! --J
