Now his gut was churning and he felt like he was a jerk for some reason....What did I do now? When her eyebrows raised in a surprised manner he was slightly relieved...but still a bit confused and slightly nervous. He could dance and sing in the middle of the street he had no such thing as stage fright, he was really never nervous and erred on the side of overconfident contrarily ,but right now he was a bit nervous. Oh man...why do I feel like this? I feel so icky and antsy....what the heck is this!? Just ask her. Just ask and the icky will be gone. But what if....gah just ask! His mind raced when she told him to go ahead and ask , the sadness in her voice made him slightly confused. If only he knew what she was thinking....Normally he understood pretty well, but right now he was clueless. Oh well here it goes...Leap like a lemming! "Rae...." he said trying to hold the nervousness in while pulling out a small bright yellow jewelery box. She loved her house color so he had bought a special jewelery box just for her present. "Would you.." he started while handing her the box."...officially be my girlfriend?" he finished and had managed to say everything quite confidently despite the nerves. The box contained a beautiful pair of earrings made of 24k gold ,rubies,diamonds, and emeralds. They were specially hand crafted and far more expensive than a boy his age should have been able to afford. Then again, those are one of the perks of being from a rich pureblood family.
Rhea stood there in front of him, her hands buried in the pockets of her jeans. The wait wasn't long but it felt like forever. Why couldn't he just spit out what he had to say. They had known each other for over a year now, surely he knew she wouldn't blow her top if he wanted to be with someone. She breathed in deeply to steady her nerves. She didn't want him to see just how agitated she was becoming. He called her name and her eyes met his. He was definitely nervous. The yellow box caught her eyes and she drew her gaze away from his face to what was in his hand. Did Art Koizumi think he could buy her forgiveness? Why would he think she would need to forgive him of anything anyways. It was his life. She felt tears threaten to roll down her eyes but she batted them away and stood there calm and collected, at least that was how she looked on the outside
. Be his girlfriend??? Officially?
She didn't say anything for a while. She just stood there looking at him. She slowly took the box from him and opened it. The earrings were beautiful and looked very expensive. She knew he was rich but she hated that he spent so much on her. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.
"I would love to be your girlfriend, but I think I would be more comfortable with taking just the box, though the earrings are very beautiful." She was shocked that she formed coherent sentences, but what surprized her even more was how calm her voice sounded, when inside she was so thrilled. The only thing that betrayed her were the tears that finally broke their hold and ran down her face.
