She knew it was a big step, but she thought it was okay... she had thought they were... there, but maybe they weren't. And she was panicking again as the seconds stretched into at least a minute of silence. He didn't want to. He was trying to come up with a reason to say no. Chloe was pushing this too quickly.
And then he was smiling at her and saying he would. Chloe had to practically jump on him to throw her arms completely around his neck and kiss him on the cheek in her excitement. "Oh, Asher! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This means so much to me! And ever since I told them about you, they've been dying to meet you. They ask the cutest questions in their letters. Wanting to know if you're cute and a good kisser and just the silliest things, but... Oh! I'm so glad you'll go with me!" Chloe just hugged him tight. What more could she ask for from him? Asher was her other half, her perfect fit.
She just hoped he felt the same way.
Next thing Asher new, he saw Chloe mid jump as she jumped on him to throw her arms around his neck. He laughed a little louder than normal and returned the kiss on his cheek by kissing her cheek.
"You're welcome Chloe." He told her as he wrapped his arms around her to keep her from falling back down to the floor.
"You were brave enough to ask, and that made me want to go with you even more." He beamed at her.
Wonder what she'll do when I pop the question. he thought to himself. If she had gotten SO excited over this confirmation of his answer in going with her to New York to see her friends and goddaughters he couldn't wait to see her reaction when he proposed to her. He wasn't even doubtful that she wouldn't say yes, he was more doubtful if she like the ring he had chosen for her. He wasn't much of a jewerly man, and when it came to picking out jewerly, he left those things to Maudi or Ziva. But, this wasn't Maudi or Zi's place to pick the jewerly out for this occassion. And he knew, that he'd have to have a little go around with Zi about the ring, about how he han't 'consulted' her on picking out the ring. She could deal with it though, Asher felt very confident in the ring the more he thought about it. He just couldn't wait to put his plan into action.
