Such is Life 12

Another year passed and now my cousin was living with us. During my relationship with Courtney, we never had any threesomes. I was perfectly ok with that because she was the only one I wanted to be with. She hadn’t had sex with a girl since we became exclusive, she told me that she didn’t have any desire to be with a girl at that point. Our relationship grew so so much stronger as time passed. I planned on proposing to her. I had purchased a ring and was now trying to come up with proposal ideas. I struggled because I didn’t want it to be just any other proposal. I wanted it to be original. But first, I needed to get their blessings. I wanted them to be ok with me marrying their daughter. So one day I was on patrol and I figured what better time to ask them for permission to ask for her hand in marriage. I knew she was going to be working so she wasn’t going to be there. I had called her mom and asked her if I could stop by, and to please have her brothers there. I told her that I had something I wanted to talk to them about. So a couple of hours before my briefing, I stopped by their place. I walked in and I could tell that her mom knew. She was had this ridiculously big smile. I sat down in her couch and her brothers were sitting there too. My moms and her dad were all there too, so I could just do it all at one time.

“How are you two doing?” Her mom asked.

“Oh god, we are doing really really good.” I replied.

“So what’s up?” She asked with a knowing smile.

“Shit, I don’t even know where to start.” I said.

“Why are you so nervous?” Her dad asked.

“I have no idea.” I said as I laughed.

“Just relax and tell us what’s on your mind.” Her mom said.

“Ok. After Janine died I never thought in a million years that I would ever love someone like I love Courtney. It’s amazing to me how I happen to be in love with her little sister. There are no words that I can use to express to you all of how much I love her. She is my world and my life. She has brought me so much happiness that, I just don’t know. I guess what I am trying to say here is that I want to marry her. That being said, I would like to ask you for your permission to make her my wife.” I said as I looked at the floor from sheer nervousness.

I looked up and her mom, and mine were all crying. They stood up and hugged me as her brothers stood up. They gave me a hug also and her dad shook my hand. Her mom sat me down and looked into my eyes.

“I think I speak for all of us when I say that if we say no, we would be the dumbest people alive. You did so much for her Adam. You transformed her in a very good way. You have shown us that you love her as much as you say. It’s very obvious, and it’s obvious that she loves you just as much. We have not worried about her once since you two met. I personally think that you are absolutely perfect for her. So yes Adam. You have our permission to marry our daughter.” She said as she cried from happiness.

“Thank you.” I said as I smiled brightly.

“Welcome to the family.” Her brothers both said as they hugged me.

We all sat around and talked for several minutes and we started to talk about how the hell I was going to propose to her. I showed them the ring I had gotten her and planned to put on her finger. It was one that she had gravitated to. She loved that ring so much, and when she first tried it on, she was like a little girl. She was so excited and she would just look at her ring then me. I knew right then that that was the ring I was going to get for her. We then started talking about the wedding itself. After a while I went to work and for the next few weeks, I worked a lot. It kind of sucked because I didn’t get to see my Courtney that much. She was so amazing to me during that time, and I noticed that she wasn’t working as much anymore. She and I spent as much time together as we could and she would meet me at restaurants to have lunch with me while I was patrolling. Now if I was serving warrants or dealing with other stuff with the swat team, we couldn’t meet up. I wish you could see how she kept looking at me. I melted and my love for her grew deeper and deeper.

Finally after coming up with an idea, I was ready to propose to her. She was working the night before I planned to propose to her, so I went to her work to see her. I didn’t see her at first and what she planned for me was the last thing I expected. What I didn’t know was that she had talked to both of my moms recently and asked them if she could marry me. After several minutes I noticed that every girl in that place had surrounded the main stage. I was astonished to see my moms there. They all sat with me and there was a huge crowd there. After a little longer, the announcer introduced her to the crowd. I was shocked to see her dressed in a very very nice dress. She looked absolutely amazing. There was no music and she had a mic in her hand. She walked out and stood at the front of the stage.

“Adam, can you come up here please?” She asked.

As I approached her, I noticed that she had tears in her eyes. She flashed the most beautiful smile and she looked like she was absolutely glowing. All of the dancers and cocktail waitresses were all there all crying already. She sat me in a chair that was facing the stage.

“Ok guys, I have to personally thank everyone here for your love and support. I never thought that I would actually like my job as much as I do. But, something even greater came into my life a little over three years ago, and it’s something that I would never change for anything, and when you find something like this, you have to hold on to it. So I have to announce that tonight is my last night here. I want to spend the rest of my life supporting a very amazing man.” She said as everyone cheered.

I was shocked. I didn’t see that coming at all. She had talked about quitting many times, but never eluded to when. She also knew that I would support her with anything she wanted to do. After the crowd got quiet, she sat on the edge of the stage and looked at me.

“Adam, three years ago you and I both lost someone we loved. Never did I think that, that would be the one thing that would bring us together. I have never been this happy before. I have to thank you for everything you have done for me. I love you baby. I love you so much that I want to scream it out so everyone knows how much I love you. All I want is to be with you. You’re all I need in my life. You are everything I needed. The thing is, I still need you. I can’t imagine my life with out you in any way.
