Still Here Ch 28

“I promise not to tell her.” I joke back laughing.

“Thank you.” He says letting out a fake breath of relieve.

“You’re a dork, Joey.” I say laughing and shaking my head.

“And you love that about me don’t even deny it.” He says smiling.

“I’m not denying it.” I shake my head smiling.

He leans in and gives me a peck on the lips.  “Have you ate already?”

“No.  I came here early thinking that my sweet boyfriend would have made breakfast for his girlfriend.” I joke.

“What do you eat?” He asks sitting up, lifting me with him.

“How about I make breakfast and you go take a shower cause you stink.” I joke.

“I like that idea.” He gets up and walks into the bathroom.  I walk downstairs and start breakfast.

I was almost done when Joey comes up to me and wraps his arms around me.

“You almost done Phillips?” He asks as he rests his chin on my shoulder.

“Yeah.” I reply.

“You know I can get used to this.” I can tell he was smiling.

“Me too” I say as I turn off the stove and mix the eggs.

I feel one of his arms unwrap from my waist and he brought his chin off my shoulder.

“Here.” He says placing something on my palm but not taking his hand away so I could see what it is.

“What is it?” I turn around to face him.

He goes down on one knee. Is he going to ask me to marry him?!

“Phillips don’t forget to add that to the soup while I tie my shoe.”  He lets go of my hand so he could tie his shoe.  I look down at my hand and he had place a packet of seasoning salt on my palm.

“Jerk!” I slap him in the back of his head.

“What?” He says smiling innocently at me.

“I thought you were going to ask me to marry you.”  I say glaring at him playfully.

“What gave you that idea?” He says teasingly with an innocent smile.

I stick my tongue out at him and turn back to the soup to pour in the seasoning salt.

“Aw is the poor baby mad.” He says in a baby tone.

“You know I can spit in your food right?” I tease.

“Like I haven’t tasted your spit before.”

“Ew, Joey!”

“What? It’s the truth.” He shrugs.

“Just grab two bowls.” I roll my eyes at him smiling.

“Yes mam.”

He hands me the bowls and I pour the soup in.

“Milk, water or orange juice?” He asks.

“Orange juice with ice please.” I say.  He comes back with two glasses of orange juice and sets the one with ice in front of me.

“Thanks.”

“No problem.  Hey and careful when you drink orange juice with ice you won’t want to swallow or choke on the ice.”

“Ok?”  I give him a ‘you’re crazy’ look.

“Don’t look at me like that it’s true.”

“Whatever you say Joey.”

“Speaking of that I haven’t been honest with you.”

“What do you mean?”  Has he been cheating on me or something?

“My full name is actually Joseph and I didn’t invent the iPod myself I just helped make it come possible.”

“So you’re not cheating on me?” He starts laughing.  “Joey I’m serious.”

“No I’d never cheat on you.”  He says laughing.  “Why would you even think that?” He says shaking his head and smiling at me.

“Well you said you hadn’t been honest with me.”

“Crazy girl” He rolls his eyes at me smiling then starts eating his soup.

“So your full name is Joseph Franco?”

“Yeah but Joey stuck cause my Dad called me that.” He shrugs looking as if he didn’t want to talk about it.

I nod and take a drink of orange juice.  I feel something but before I can stop I swallow and start coughing.

“Are you ok?” Joey asks with his eyes wide open.

I just point at my throat.  He mutters something like ‘shit’ as he stands up and runs around the table to me and starts the choking hazard procedure.  I end up spitting out a diamond ring.

“What the hell?”

“Well this didn’t go how I planned.” He Joey says rubbing the back of his head.

“Where you planning on killing me?” I say with wide eyes.

“No.” He kneels down beside me and grabs the ring.  “If this had gone how I planned you would have taken the ring out of your mouth and I would have came and knelt beside you like this and said that for the rest of my life I wanted to spend it with you, but I guess now I have to change up my speech.” He fakes a sigh smiling at me.  “If I have to spend the rest of my saving someone from choking and me changing my plans of how I’d like things to go then I’ll take that as long as I get to do all those thing with you.  Lili Phillips, would you let me have the honor of spending the rest of my life with you?”

I nod at him with tear filled eyes.  He grabs my hand and slips the ring into my finger before taking me into his hands and giving me a kiss.

“I promise I’ll never ever slip a ring into you drink again.” He jokes.  I laugh before kissing him again.

“Was that romantic enough for you?” He asks smiling.

“Not really I’m still going to have the fantasy of getting proposed to in a junk yard with a rubber band as a ring.” I tease.

“Whatever crazy girl.” He says rolling his eyes at me playfully.
