  ♥C.h.a.p.t.e.r ..I..♥He stared at the large red numbers on the clock on his bedside table. His heart had been beating irregularly all night long, forcing him to stay awake a good part of the night, nervous for the morning to come. It seemed like he had just fallen asleep when the annoying alarm started ringing, making the brunette next to him groaned in annoyance. Still, like every morning, she rubbed her eyes and sat up in the bed with a loud sigh. It's not that she didn't like to work, but she hated to be forced to wake up in the morning. She would never use the snooze button, unlike him, who would always hit it as quick as he could. This time, he didn't really need it as his eyes were wide open, and instead, he stopped the alarm completely.
"You're already awake." she noted in surprise.
She frowned to him and moved her head on the side. He looked at her, her light green eyes scanning his facial features and his lips curled. He had no idea why he had not thought of doing it before, and his heart skipped a beat at what was coming. The sun rays appeared through the curtains, and he knew the day would be beautiful, just like the girl sitting in front of him, ready to whine about getting up so early, the same way she did it every morning.
"I am, Livi-Love, and I think you should hurry up." he suggested. "I'm giving you a ride this morning."
She seemed to think about it and nodded, quickly getting out of bed. She reached her drawer and started looking for clothes as he simply watched her with an amused smile. In a moment, she'd complain about not having anything to wear, and while waiting for her words, his eyes roamed on her half-naked body.
"God, what am I going to wear!" she whispered, making him smile even more. "And please stop staring at me, Chad!"
The boy shook his head and got up at his turn to do his short morning routine, while his girlfriend was running everywhere. Unlike most girls though, it didn't take her too long and soon enough, she stood in front of him, in the living room. He took his keys and got up, getting closer to her and sliding his arms on her side.
"I love you." he simply said, bringing a smile on her lips.
"I love you, too."
He grabbed his hand and brought her to the car. The ride was silent as Livia looked by the window. Spring had brought flowers and warmth and she felt alive. It was her last day of work, and although she loved it, she was not unhappy about it. She worked there to pay the bills while she was at university, studying to become a teacher, and this job showed her how much she loved to be with kids everyday, filling their little brains with knowledge. She was only helping a teacher in the classroom, but the affection and gratefulness she was giving and receiving was worth more than anything she had felt before.
She turned around to look at the only man who had ever made her life complete and she bitted her bottom lip at how handsome he was. His dirty blond hair, his light eyes and his heart-shaped lips made her heart beat in a motion she never thought was possible, always making her mouth curl slightly despite herself. They had met in high school, and if Livia didn't believe in love at first sight before, she sure did when their eyes locked. They had been together ever since, and the only thought of being away from him made a pain appear inside of her stomach.
The way every time his eyes landed on her, they softened and started to glitter, as if she was the most beautiful girl on earth, made her feel special, almost unique.
Chad parked the car and instead to leave like he usually did, he got out of it with her and grinned at her, his hands in his pocket.
"What are you doing?"
"I have a surprise for you."
His eyes flashed with sparkles only half a second and she followed him as he brought her inside, curious to discover the reason of his unusual behavior. They got up until the top of the building, and Chad stopped suddenly in front of the roof's door, making Livia bump lightly into him. She started laughing and he turned around, looking down at her, even taller than he normally was, since he was a step ahead.
"Close your eyes" he whispered in a sweet voice as he brought one her hands softly to hide her eyes, and took the other one in his to help her.
The morning sun hit her face and she frowned. Along with a soft breeze carresing her cheeks, it was the only thing she could feel. She couldn't stop smiling ; there was nothing she loved more than surprises, and she was well aware that Chad made the most originals.
She couldn't see, but he looked down the roof to see if everything was into place, and grinned. He waved freely down before to grab Livia's waist and bring her closer to him. He looked at her facial traits and smiled, brushing his lips on hers before to put them only centimeters away from her left ear.
"You can look, now." said in a low tone as she excuted his wish.
First, she looked up at the beautiful sky, her hand over her eyes to hide the sun's rays. She took a big breath as a scent of newly born flowers invaded her nostrils and her eyes admired the clouds forming different shapes to her own delight. There was nothing she liked more than nature ; pure and unbelievable. Then, she looked down at the ground and noticed a large ammount of students, most of them she knew, that were standing on the grass. She frowned, trying to get a better view at the way they were positionated on the courtyard, and suddenly, her eyes go larger. She looked it them over and over again, barely believing the words they were forming. Her mouth opened slightly at this sight, and she stopped breathing despite herself. Her eyes moved again, trying to remember every little detail, hoping her memory was strong enough to actually keep a mental picture of this specific moment.
"MARRY ME!"
It was barely audible since all of them had screamed it at the same time, but Livia felt herself going weak as her heart melted. Mechanically, she moved her head to her boyfriend whom had now one knee on the floor, holding a jewelry box. The ring was gold with a perfect shaped heart in the middle, and it shined in the sunlight. Livia brought her hand to her mouth, astonished, as the information sinked in her brain.
"Will you marry me?"
She felt like someone had taken possession of her body as a single tear of joy slipped on her cheek, and her hands started shaking.
"Yes." she whispered, taking a second to assimilate the question better.
"Yes!" she repeated louder.
She started jumping up in down and couldn't seem to stop as Chad got up and grabbed her hand again, pulling her into a hug. He got closer to the edge and looked down, his lips forming a large smile, almost reaching his ears.
"She said yes!" he screamed to everyone as people started cheering and clapping.
He didn't give them more attention and turned back to his future wife before to put the ring on her finger. She bitted her bottom lip, sure at this exact moment that nothing could ever tear them apart.--- +thanks sooo much Julie, Teishla, Jessie, Emely & Kristin!

 ♥C.h.a.p.t.e.r ..II..♥The sun had barely disappeared when Livia sat comfortably on her couch, pulling her legs on the side. Chad walked up to her, took her feet in his hands and sat close to her, putting them back on his thighs. She turned to him and they shared a smile. It was almost unbelievable how easy it was for them to just be together without doing anything but enjoy the moment. There was no sound, yet their house never felt so full. They even had turned the lights off. Once in a while, one of them would sigh, breaking the light silence but bringing a smile on the other's lips, or making their loved one squeeze their hand tighter. Livia couldn't think of a better way to spend an evening, and she could barely believe the wonderful she had just spent. It felt unreal.
The only thing that disturbed them was the phone ringing. They didn't know for how long they had stayed sitten there, almost motionless, but it didn't feel enough. With a grimace, Livia reached for the phone on the small table close to her and sigh before to hit the "talk" button. Chad watched her in the dark, still noticing her smile growing as she gave short replies to the person on the other line. When she hung up, she remained silent, looking straight in front of her. He knew his girlfriend was thinking, probably taking the time to assimilate what had just happened. Although he didn't like to take her out of her reflections, his curiosity took over and he broke the silence.
"Who was it?"
"Just when I thought this day couldn't get any better." Livia let the words slip from her lips in a low tone, more talking to herself than replying to her boyfriend. "I just got offered a job."
"Really?" Chad asked, his eyes illuminating in the darkness.
He knew how scared she was to be jobless, and how much she would miss the kids she had just left. This opportunity was right on time.
"It's in a high school." she added before to turn to him. "I'll do fine, right?"
Chad smiled at her insecurities. "Of course." he tried to rassure her.
Getting up, he put one arm under her back, and an other under her knees, taking her in his arms as she laughed.
"Time for a good night sleep."
As he walked, he hit her feet on the door's frame and she started laughing even more, bringing a grin on his lips. He apologized and put the blame on the darkness surrounding them but she shook her head, her lips still curled. The feelings inside of her made her want to burst out of happiness, a scream stuck permanently in her throat. This was what life was all about, she knew it. There was nothing else she wanted ; it seemed like she had everything. She had gladly grabbed the lucky cloud coming her way, and now she was gracefully sitting on it as it brought her to her deepest dreams.
She bit her bottom lip as Chad placed her carefully on the bed, gently taking place over her. She looked in his eyes as he brought his face closer, brushing his lips sweetly on hers and she allowed herself to close her eyes to feel the moment completely. His lips moved slowly to her neck as he grabbed one of her hands, intertwining their fingers together.
"I can't believe you're going to be my wife." he whispered, sending a shiver up Livia's spine as the sound of his last word.
"Believe it, because it'll happen." she replied in a low tone, kissing softly his ear.
Chad felt a sudden burst inside making his lips reach his ears.
"I love you."
+++++++++
The whole night had been calm and relaxing but now that she was so close to start her new job, nervousness had totally invaded Livia's body. Chad had made sure her night was unforgettable, as usual, and it helped her get a good rest, but at this moment, sitting on the passenger's seat of his car, parked in front of a hgh school she didn't know, she couldn't think about anything else but her breakfest wanting to come out of her throat. Her face paralyzed with fear, she was staring at the large brown and unwelcoming building in front of her.
"You'll do fine." Chad tried to rassure her as he grabbed his hand, squeezing it tight.
With a small nod, she turned to him, planting a quick peck on his lips and got out of the car. She barely heard him as he told her he'd pick her up later and walked reluctantly to the entrance. The walls of the first floor were painted a raspberry sorbet color and she made her way through the mob of students. She could easily have passed for one of them and it made stress hit her harder. Holding her bag loosely over her shoulder, she searched for the room she had been assigned for and took a big breath before to come inside.
"Look, new girl!" she heard. "Not bad."
Trying to ignore it, she walked to the front desk and put her bag down, taking the sheets waiting on the wood furniture that would be hers for the next hours to come. She already knew she would teach french all day long, and that in itself was good news. She quickly read what the course was supposed to be about and heard the bell ring, meaning it was time to face the twenty-something teenagers waiting for her. Trying to get some courage, she inhaled deeply and looked up, putting a forced smile on her face.
"Hello, I will be your French teacher for today." she started, happy that her voice was not shaking. She was good at pretending to be calm, even if it was boiling inside. "You can call me Livia."
A bunch of surprised faces was staring at her, not too sure she was actually being serious. All her life, she had been told she looked way younger than her actual age, and it was clear to her now that they had been right.
After thirty minutes or so, she felt more at ease and she didn't know if it was because of the shock, but everyone seemed interested in what she was teaching them. It was not as worse as she thought it would be, and stress changed into excitement.
"Please work on the exercises on page forty-five." she said, getting up from the desk to actually go sit behind it, on the chair. "If you have questions, you can come to see me."
The sound of pages flipping made her smile and with a happy sigh, she looked down at the notes from the steady teacher. He was a great help and she took a mental note to thank him when she'd finally get to meet him. She hoped the other students she'd have on that day would be just as good listeners than those she was teaching too right now. Her biggest fear was that she'd end up losing control. It wouldn't look good for her if it happened on her first day.
She started thinking about her boyfriend, and was very impatient to call him. She knew she shouldn't, but she was not going to resist grabbing her cellphone as soon as the bell would ring again. He was not only her boyfriend -or future husband-, he was also her best friend, and that made everything much more easier for everything.
"I'm sorry to disturb."
The soft voice took her out of her thoughts. She was still at work, and she had to remember that. She tried to put Chad on the back of her mind and looked up, meeting the clear blue eyes of a cute boy. She had not noticed anyone in the classroom yet, it seemed like she was only looking at all of them at the same time without assimilating anything about them but some names she had to call at the beginning of the class. This guy, though, was very unique : a perfect nose, full lips and dark brown hair falling in his eyes. With a quick head movement, he pushed it away uselessly as it fell back exactly where it was before.
Her mouth slightly open, she watched him as he extended his book to her with a shy smile.
"Could you correct it, please?" he politely asked, snapping her out of her daydream.
"Oh." she let out. "Uhm, sure."
She looked down at the page of the book, trying to focus on his answers but desperately wanting to look at him again. She felt a pain inside of her, something she had not felt for a very long time. It reminded her the very first time she had met Chad. She laughed it out loud, thinking of how stupid it was.
"Did I make a mistake?" he wondered with a frown.
He put his hands on the desk and got closer to her, noticing that even though he was very young, he was wearing perfume. She guessed on Calvin Klein and inhaled deeply but subtly.
"No!" she denied. "I was just thinking of... forget it."
Licking her lips, she started reading the answers he had written on the sheet. It was obvious he had made huge effort with his hand writing and the right corner of her lips moved up. She was trying to find a mistake, but she couldn't. His answers were all correct.
"It's a perfect job." she exclaimed, impressed, taking a glimpse at the name on the cover of his book. "Joey." she finished.
He smiled, taking back the book and thanking her. She looked at him as he was going back to his desk and her heart skipped a beat when he turned his head around to send her an other smile. Without realizing it, she had completely forgot about Chad.
