she was seated and buckled, right beside Caden, she turned and kissed him tenderly on the lips. “I love you.” She said smiling. “I love you more.” He replied.
30 minutes later, they were seated at a table, and had ordered. Aliza reached for her purse, and pulled out Caden’s present that she had so nicely wrapped. She handed it to him. “This is your present.” She said. “Here, let me give you yours first.” He replied. He started to reach into his pocket, but stopped and said, “Actually, mine can wait till later.” He said smiling. He opened his box and found a ring that said Aliza && Caden… Forever True Loves, engraved on it. “This is amazing. Better than mine.” He said with a glum look on his face. “Hey! Cheer up!” She said smiling, “I’m sure your present is as good as mine.” She said. “I hope so!” He replied. They ate their food, and climbed into the limo. “Time for my surprise place.” He said, with a smile on his face.
The whole limo ride, Aliza was excited to see where Caden’s surprise place was. As the limo came to a stop, Caden took her by the hand, and led her out of the limo. When she climbed out, she saw they were at the park, all the trees and bushes were decorated with lights, and she saw a walkway with roses and a swing at the end. “Caden… This…. This…. Is amazing!” She said smiling. As Caden led her to the swing and down the walkway filled with roses, they sat on the swing and watched the lights and the stars. Caden got up, and took her on a stroll through the park. As he led her back to the bench, she sat down, but saw that he stayed standing. She looked at him, and their eyes locked. Aliza would never forget that moment when she fell head over heels for him all over again. “Time for your present.” He said, kissing her under the moonlight. “Okay.” She said. “What is it?” Caden pulled a box out of his pocket, and kneeled on one knee. He opened the box and said, “Aliza Janay Summers. Will you marry me?” Aliza was speechless. She didn’t know what to say. “Yes! Of course!” She said smiling. She jumped into his arms, and kissed him for what seemed like a lifetime. He slid the ring on her finger, and said, “I told you I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I’m in love with you Aliza.” Aliza smiled, and simply said, “I love you to.”
When she got home, she and Caden walked into the house together. Her mom was sitting in the living room reading. When they walked in, she smiled and said, “How’d it go?” Aliza saw her question was directed at Caden. “She said yes.” He said smiling. “Oh my god! That’s great! I can’t believe it! I always knew you two were perfect for each other!” Her mom exclaimed. “Mom, you…. Knew about this?” Aliza said. “Of course! I’m the one that bought him the ring!” Aliza looked over at Caden and saw him shaking his head at her mom. “Caden. You didn’t buy the ring, did you?” She said. “Aliza, I can explain.” He said. “Oh, what, did you give the ring you bought ME to that other girl I found you with coming out of your house today?!” She exclaimed. “I can’t believe you could afford to rent a limo, but you couldn’t afford to buy an engament ring!” She yelled. She turned and headed towards her room. “Aliza, wait!” He hollered after her. “Oh, you’re right, I almost forgot.” She said, “Here’s the ring back.” She took the ring off her finger and set it on the coffee table. The ring clattered on the table, and with each clatter, her heart broke a little more. “I thought you at least loved me enough to buy the ring yourself.” She said. “Aliza, I’m sorry. Please, don’t do this.” He begged. “Just… get out.” She said, and opened up the front door. Her mom stood there, horrified at what she had just done. “Oh, what?! Is your heart breaking? Well, know you know how I felt when you came out of your house WITH ANOTHER GIRL!” Aliza screamed, hot tears streaming down her face. “Aliza, you never let me explain that. You wouldn’t let me.” He said, with tears covering his face, and his breath barely coming to him. “I want you gone by the time I come back downstairs.” She said.
Aliza stormed up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door closed. She flopped herself on her bed, sobs shaking her body, erupting in her screams. She couldn’t believe it. For once, she thought things were actually going to work out, but turns out that Caden didn’t even love her enough to buy his own engagement ring. She heard her door creak open and someone enter the room. She was too busy crying her heart out to pay any attention to who had walked in. She felt someone lay beside her on her bed, and put their arm around her. She was so cold, and the person was so warm. She snuggled closer to them, and 5 minutes later she turned and saw Caden’s tear stained face. “Aliza, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you, but I saw that ring and immediately knew that it was the one. Until I saw how much it cost. I couldn’t afford it babe. So, I went to your mom for help. She paid maybe half. She didn’t buy the entire thing.” He said. “I’m so sorry.” She said, with fresh tears blurring her eyes. “I never should have reacted like that.” She said. “I love…” She stopped mid-sentence. She couldn’t breathe and her face was hot, she noticed the signs. She was having an anxiety attack. “Aliza?” Caden said panicking. “Brenda!” He hollered for her mom, and jumped up, grabbing her inhaler out of the dresser beside her bed. He stuck it in her mouth, and pushed on the medication release button. Aliza could feel the air coming back into her lungs. She was exhausted. “Thanks.” She said. “No problem.” He said. He turned to leave, but she stopped him. “No. Please. Stay with me.” She said. “Okay.” He said. He laid beside her and she snuggled up against him.
As Aliza’s eyes started to close, she thought back on her and Caden’s relationship, and thought… this is where teenage love had gotten them.
When she woke up, she saw sunlight streaming threw her curtains, and onto her face. She looked down and saw she still had on her dress and her shoes were on the floor beside her. She rolled over and saw that Caden was gone. She got up, changed into sweat pants, and threw her hair into a messy bun, washed the makeup off her face, and walked downstairs. She walked into the living room and saw that Caden wasn’t there either. She saw her engagement ring still sitting on the coffee table; she picked it up, and put it on her finger. She walked into the kitchen, and finally found Caden; he was standing at the stove with sausage links sizzling in a frying pan. She looked over at the table and saw two plates, and two glasses of orange juice, a plate of pancakes and a bottle of syrup in the middle of the table. She walked up behind him, and said smiled. She put her arms around his shoulders, and said, “Shouldn’t the woman be cooking?” “Not today.” He said laughing. “After last night, and everything that happened, I owe you.” He said smiling. “Well thanks. I didn’t really feel like cooking today.” She said laughing. She sat down at the table and waited on Caden to get done cooking the sausage. “Where’s my mom?” She said confused. “She went grocery shopping. She’ll be back in a little bit.” He replied. She walked up to the stove, and turned off the eye. “What’s wrong with you?” She said. “Nothing.” He replied. “No, Caden… there’s something wrong, what is it?” She said demanding an answer. “I feel kind of sick.” He said. “I’ve been nauseous all morning, and I have a horrible headache.” Aliza looked worried. “Go lay down. I’ll finish cooking sweetie.” She said. “No. I’m fine.” He said. “Are you sure?” She asked. “Yeah. Don’t worry about me sweetheart.” Aliza wasn’t so sure, but she let the argument settle.
After breakfast, she told Caden she was going to the gym, and asked if he wanted to go. When he said no, Aliza insisted she stay home and take care of him. “No. Go.” He had replied. Aliza drove all the way to the gym, and then even thought about turning back. So, she got to the gym, worked out for about half an hour, and headed home. Caden was going to be her husband soon, and she was going to have to take care of him when he was sick.
She pulled into the driveway and walked through the front door. She saw Caden lying on the couch. His face white as a ghost. “Caden, are you sure your okay?” She said worried. “I don’t know so much anymore. Want to take me to the hospital?” He asked. “Well, of course.” She said.
She helped Caden to the car, and hoped into the driver’s seat. She started the car, and drove towards the hospital. When she pulled up, she helped him into the building, they checked in, and waited in the waiting room. When a doctor finally came to escort them to a room, Caden looked worse. Aliza was really starting to worry. She couldn’t lose Caden, she just couldn’t. The doctor evaluated him, and pulled Aliza into the hall. “It’s just a severe migraine.” He said. “Have him get some sleep, drink lots of water and Sprite, and lots of chicken noodle soup. I’m prescribing him some pain pills, and he only needs to take one every day, for two days.”
Aliza drove Caden home, and by the next day, he was better, and back to his normal self.
Aliza woke up feeling normal, and she once again, found Caden cooking breakfast. “What’s up with you?” Aliza asked. “Ever since we got engaged, you’ve been… distant. I feel like you don’t want to talk to me anymore.” She said. “Aliza, baby, I love you, I will always want to talk to you, it’s just… I see all these husbands and fiancés cooking breakfast for their wives… and doing all this other stuff… and how am I supposed to measure up to that?” He replied. A sigh escaped Aliza’s lips, “Honey, I love you… I want you to be you. You don’t have to cook breakfast and buy me presents for me to love you or want to marry you. Caden, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Your amazing in your own way.” She said smiling. Caden replied by kissing her gently on the lips. She kissed back, and they started making out in the middle of the kitchen. Neither of them could deny the desire and tension of the moment, because they were both feeling it. Aliza pulled back, and caught her breath. It was time… she knew and so did he. When they were finished… Aliza was so tired, she fell asleep, and so did Caden.
When she woke up, she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast and some orange juice. Caden was still asleep, so she went to grab a shower before he woke up. Once in the shower, she thought about what they had just done. She was happy, and excited, but also, a little
