The Arms Hotel -- Stripper Pole Suite -- Friday night

[fantastic_torch]

Johnny was hanging out, enjoying beer and ESPN, waiting on Savannah to get there.

He might be feeling somewhat anxious as well. Thus the beer. His fifth bottle already. Glancing every so often at the little box he was going to be gifting her with, didn't help.

[For his woman, yo. :D ]

Savannah? She wasn't having the best of night's and she figured that staying with her guy tonight would definitely help out on that.

She took a few extra moments in the hall to pull herself together and then after checking the mirror and seeing that she once more looked happy and bouncy, she let herself into the suite.

"Sweetheart?"

"Hey, babe," he said, standing to meet and greet her properly. "How you feeling tonight?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I am so much better now that I'm with you." She leaned up to kiss him. "How was your day?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

An eyebrow went up at that answer, but he kissed her back instead of ask her about it just yet. "Easy. Chatted Isabel up at the Perk this afternoon which consisted of my ego flirting with her happy witty self."

Johnny started to lead Savannah to the sofa. "Should I ask you how your day went?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She smiled happily at him. "I got to see Summer! She's here and I told her about New York and she's happy for us!"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

His smile was broad. "As she should be. Everyone should be happy for us."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She leaned in to kiss him. "She says to make sure we go visit her and Chris, and they'll come visit us."

She'd leave out the part where she and Summer wanted to be turned loose together in New York for shopping.

"Excellent," he murmured, leaning to kiss her again. Once was not enough.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Kissing was wonderful. She was pretty sure that she would be happy to kiss Johnny all damn night.

And now, he figured the timing was perfect. They were in a good place, here, now -- together and in love.

Okay, that thought sounded kind of cheesy, even in his own head. But whatever, this was totally a cool moment.

Moving slightly back, Johnny's eyes found hers even as he reached for the small black box he had kept close, but not obvious. "I..." he was suddenly slightly nervous. "This is the right time for this... for us."

He presented her the box, but didn't let her take it yet. Instead he watched her face.

Savannah's eyes flicked from his face to the box and when she realized what that box might hold, her eyes widened slightly. She smiled softly and reached out to touch his face.

"I love you," she said softly. "I'm always going to love you."

It was the quiet assurance he needed. Or rather what the moment seemed to require for him.

"Savannah, sweetheart, I love you and will love you forever. I want you to be my wife." He opened the box for her, extending it towards her. "Will you marry me?"

It was a simple ring, an exquisite cut; two carats of sparkling beauty. It was simply stated, though Johnny thought profound in its statement.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She nodded, her voice catching in her throat for a moment as her eyes filled with tears of the very happy variety.

"I love you, Johnny," she whispered. "And I'll marry you as many times as you want me to."

That really did make more sense in her head.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

It made sense in his head too, all things considered. He smiled and took the ring from the box to slip on her finger.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah watched the ring go onto her finger and then she was in his arms kissing him.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

And it was perfect. All of it. He kissed her deeply, holding her close against him.

"I love you," she whispered against his lips. "I love you so damn much."
