June was really starting to worry. Even by her girlfriend's standards, Chloe had been acting weird, and whenever June thought that she had seen the craziest thing ever Chloe had a tendency to introduce her to a whole new level of crazy. The same could be said for the twisted and kinky things in their sex life.
So in other words, this was either going to be really good, or really bad. Or maybe a mix of both, but June was definitely hoping for something good. Although honestly, at this point she just wanted to get it over with. Rip it off, like a Band-Aid. Or just for Chloe to really talk to her again. And really talk, not just dismiss her with a few words. So when they settled down to dinner she push the issue.
"Seriously, what's wrong Chloe?" June pushed, "And I know you, remember? I know when you're lying."
There was a long pause, and then without looking up Chloe admitted, "It's our anniversary."
June frowned, "No it isn't."
"Yes it is." Chloe repeated, before clarifying with a sigh, "It's the anniversary of you moving in right away because you're such a big lesbo and... and... that means it's-"
"The anniversary of the day we met." June's eyes went wide and doe-like, "Awww, Chloe-"
"You see this, this is why I didn't want to mention it." Chloe huffed.
"No, it's really sweet." June beamed.
"I don't do sweet." Chloe growled.
"Oh we both know that's not true." June scolded, before grinning, "I remember too, by the way, I just didn't think you'd want to make a big deal of it given we didn't do much last time."
"Didn't do much?" Chloe raised an eyebrow, "Is that what we're calling a day of my face buried in your vagina?"
Which of course caused June to blush becomingly, "Yes, well... I mean no. I mean... you know what I mean."
"Yeah, but it's so fun to watch you squirm." Chloe grinned, before becoming serious again, "I know that's not when we got together, but... it was the beginning of us, you know?"
"I know." June softly agreed, and then after a pause added, "We were such different people then."
"I'm still not sure how I feel about that." Chloe grumbled.
"I know." June smiled softly, treading very carefully as she told her girlfriend, "But I love this, ever so slightly, relaxed version of you."
"Same." Chloe smiled softly, before grinning wickedly, "Plus I loved pulling that stick out of your ass, and replacing it with my flag."
"Yes, well..." June blushed, admitting after a brief pause, "So did I. But then, I enjoy everything we do together."
"That's pretty obvious." Chloe pointed out quickly, before admitting as she reached over to take June's hand, "Me too. Which is also pretty obvious. But it's not just the sex. It's everything. Everything is better with you. And I hate that. I promised myself I would never be that girl, but here I am, that girl. That girl who defines happiness as being with someone. And remembers sappy shit, like anniversaries. Birthdays. Names. God, we even remember the things each other likes, and worse, tries it. I would barf if I wasn't so happy. And, and I always want to have you in my life. But being friends, or whatever we were at the start isn't enough. I need you to be mine. All mine. And I need guys to stop hitting on you. Or at least a little less. So... I just need you to say yes, okay?"
June frowned, "To what?"
"You can't tell?" Chloe gave a little laugh, before sighing, getting up and walking round the table and then she got down on one knee in front of her now wide-eyed girlfriend. There was then a long pause and then Chloe groaned, "Please don't make me say the words."
After gulping softly June gave a little smile, "I think you kind of have too."
"Oh come on June, you know what I'm saying." Chloe whined.
"Yeah, but if we're doing this, you're going to do it right." June smiled, "If it helps I'll totally say yes."
"Fine." Chloe grumbled, "June... will you marry me?"
Initially June was too busy grinning madly to respond. Then a look of betrayal crossed Chloe's face and June quickly snapped into action, pulling her hand free of her girlfriend's, cupping her face and then softly kissing her. June had imagined this moment a thousand times, and had technically already experienced it once, but that had been the wrong person.
It felt right at the time, but now June regret saying yes to him. She couldn't imagine ever regretting this though, as there was no doubt in her mind that this was truly the right person for her, and Chloe had proven it by being more loving and romantic than most people would ever give her credit for. Which was why although the kiss was soft and gentle it was easily the one of the most passionate kisses of her life and as June put everything she had into it.
