In love with my brother's bestfriend

Chapter 17

Ash

My parents finally arrive and hand me the little bag. We get to the dining room and sit at the table Mrs. Faris says it has a few more minutes and I can go head when Sunny gets down here that way I can eat. She knows me so well my stomach is in knotts and I can't eat like this. Sunny finally comes down and sits in the seat next to me. I get up and say I have something to say. I look at her and say Sunny we talked a little bit last night about how I like you, she blushes. I know I'm going to be gone for two years and I will only get leave to come home once in a while but, after the talked we had last night and the talk I had with your mom this morning in front of our families I'd like to ask you if you would wear my promise ring. It's a promise to cultivate our relationship even while a way that I will uphold the vow not to date anyone else, nor be intimate with anyone. I promise to be in a committed relationship only with you, with the intention to hopefully some day marry you. If you don't want to I understand you don't have to say yes. If you want to date people while I'm gone I understand but for me no matter what you decide there will be no one else but you. You are the one I hold in my heart.

Sunny: I'm stunned in shock he's beautiful and he wants me. I can't speak for a moment and I look up into his piercing green eyes. I let everything inside me out because he's serious and deserves to know exactly how I feel because like with my dad tomorrow isn't promised. I have been in love with you for years. It started out as admiration when you saved my life which turned to like then love but I didn't realize it till last year when everything happened. I thought maybe my feelings would go away like puppy love but the more time we spent together the more my feelings grew. When you started dating I wanted and willed my feelings to leave. I wanted to hate you but I couldn't because I loved you. I tried to go on a date with someone else and I realized in that moment that it wasn't for me. Today when we were taking pictures and I looked in your eyes I knew I have loved you for years and that you were it for me. That my heart fully belongs to you. That there was no one else for me. I know that I may not have realized my feelings or understood them when I was younger but I do now. I know some might think because of my age I don't know what I know or want. All of the people in this room know I know who I am, even as young as I am. I'm looking in his eyes tears falling down his face holding his hands in mine. I am irrevocably in love with you. Although when I knew I was in love with you I never dreamed you would return my love so I would tell myself I wasn't allowed to love you like that because you were my friend. So my answer is yes Ash I will wear your ring I will build a forever with you. I reach up wipe his tears and hug him then kiss him it's chased because our families are there in total there's twelve of us there at the table. I pull back he puts the ring on my finger and it's beautiful almost like an engagement ring.

Ash

Is she for real she's been in love with me for a while yes I mentally hi-5 myself. Then she says the part about when I was dating and my heart sank I feel stupid for doing that but thank God I didn't do anything with her. She said yes. I say keep that ring safe baby one day it will be replaced by an engagement ring and then you can save that ring to pass down to our first born. She smiles at me.I look around and just about everyone has tears in their eyes everyone wants hugs and kisses and to congratulate us. As we sit down to eat I hold her hand. My brother says ha now you're gonna be my SIL. Sunny looks at him SIL? Sister-in-law. After dinner everyone is sitting down for a movie in the family room I ask can we go for a walk. She says yes. We announce we are going for a quick walk go head and start the movie without us. I hold her hand and take her where we had our first kiss and I turn to her and kiss her. I sit on the ground and she straddles my lap and we make out. We pull apart I don't want you to leave she says. I know baby but I have to. Why? Because I know if I stay here we will cross a line we shouldn't. I thought since you're already half done with college when you graduate that we will be able to get married not too long after I get back. Well I wasn't supposed to tell you any of this till I came back. What happened she says laying on me. After last night then today I just couldn't do it. I had hope you felt the same way that I did. She looks me right in the eyes and says how will you marry someone you just like I mean you should love them. I smirk baby look at me. She does I say I love you with my whole heart there will never be anyone else for me. She leans in and kisses my breath away. I pull away baby we better go back. Oh she says looking sad. Baby I want to stay here with you but you're making me want to touch you inappropriately. She blushes ok lets go back. We get to the back door and my brother is standing there. Mind if steel my bestfriend. Sure, I give her a peck and hand her over to my brother.
