Fiji, South Pacific; Private Island Resort, all day Friday 12/26

[fantastic_torch]

Savannah and Johnny did the whole spending time with each other's families for Christmas. A day each. And it was enough. The rest of their break would be spent with each other, basking in the sun, snorkeling, fishing (Johnny would like to try, hush), and you know, doing what they did best.

Currently they were waist deep in the most gorgeous water ever, and Johnny was enjoying himself by splashing his girlfriend. It was what boyfriends did, right? Especially since she was wearing next to nothing. She deserved to be flirted with.

He kissed her and realized he was actually shaking and tried to calm down. She hadn't said anything yet and what did those tears mean? Johnny probably didn't understand girls as well as well as he thought he did.

"Sweetheart?" he whispered.

She pulled back to smile at him and nodded. "Yes?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Uh. I... do you like it?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She pulled back, and then repositioned herself in his lap.

"I love it."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He held her close. "But, uh, do you understand the meaning.. I mean, what it means. What I meant..." he was tumbling over his words so just shut up.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She nuzzled his neck and then pulled back to look into his eyes.

"I think I do," she said softly. "I'll tell you what I think it means... and you tell me if I'm right or wrong, okay?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He nodded. He was good with that.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She took a deep breath, suddenly nervous that she was mistaken about what the ring meant.

"Is it... is it a promise ring... for me and you...?"

Johnny closed his eyes, briefly, in relief. "Yes, sweetheart. That's exactly what it is. But, god, you don't have to accept it as that. Think about it. Whatever..."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I don't need to think about it Johnny," she reassured him. "My answer is yes."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He smiled and then he cupped her head gently and kissed her. Deeply.

"God, I love you."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She smiled. "I love you, too. So much."

"One day we'll make it work, right? After college, through college, whatever."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"We will," she promised him. "We definitely will make it work." She blushed and held out the box. "Will you... will you put it on me?"

Smiling at her, he took the ring and her left hand in his, and slid it on her finger. Knowing her sizes already, make the fit perfect. It was beautiful on her.

"Your mother is going to fucking flip."

Savannah laughed softly, looking from the ring on her hand and then back to him.

"She might at that... but she'll be happy, afterwards." She grinned. "Sean might have heart failure."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny tilted his head and laughed, his hand covering his face. "I forgot about Sean."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She giggled, getting comfortable on his lap. "He'll react better than the Pack will."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

His hand found her thigh, laid there comfortably. "Should I take it back?" he half joked.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She shook her head. "No. Jeremy will keep them in line."

She also knew that Jeremy would approve of what the ring signified.

Johnny leaned forward, kissed her again. "Good. I wouldn't like to give it back."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"It's mine," she said with a smile, curling up into him.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

All this skin. He could never get enough of her. "You're mine."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "I very much am, Johnny. Yours always."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He kissed her deeply.
