Any Day But Today - Chapter 3
by Annabelle

 You know I am really starting to doubt if there is a god, well not a god, more like if he or she is really watching us and looking out for us. I mean if god really cared would any of this happened tonight? No! I don't think so. If god were watching Luis and I would already be engaged now.

 Also if there were a god I would not have been trapped in that horrid fissure with fate girl. Don't misunderstand, Theresa is a great young woman and what not, but I am so sick about hearing about fate. Fate this and fate that. What ever happened to making our own decisions?

 You know what else annoys me, fire. I hate fire. It makes you hot and sweaty and gets ashes all over you face. But what is even worse is Hell Fire. I truly do believe that Hell Fire produces more ash on your face. It is worse then sitting right next where they are setting off the works on the National Mall, where all the ash from the fire works rains down on you. You have to back to your hotel room and you about ten shades darker thane when you left! So I guess it would more appropriate for me to say that I hate ash, but I still hate fire because it produces ash.

 But enough talk about ash. It is finally over. Thank the stars above it is over! Luis and I can get back to, well you know. I am so excited. I can't believe it. I am one step closer to becoming Mrs. Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald. Oh god! I am starting to sound like Theresa! I have to figure out a way to not let the girl get to me. I don't want to turn into a Theresa, well you know what I mean.

 This might sound crazy I realize but I am starting to wonder who put that picture on the mantel of Luis and me. I know I thought that Pilar put it up there but I just am not sure anymore, I mean Theresa has been gunning for Luis and I to get married at the same time as she and Ethan. Maybe she put the picture out there to send subliminal messages to Luis. Well maybe I am just reading too much into this. I know Theresa wants us to be happy but I don't think that she would go so far as to use mind control over her brother, but then you never know.

 So here we are at his house. I think I know why we are here. I thought I heard Luis say something to Hank about a ring. I can't believe, we came here to pick up the ring, my ring. I am so excited. But why is taking so long? I mean doesn't he know where he put it? What if he is starting to have doubts? What if he isn't sure he wants to marry me anymore? He did say that if I was not able to handle being a cop's wife we shouldn't get married but I thought we moved past that. Didn't I show that I could handle having to worry about him, hello I let him almost walk into hell fire! No that can't be the reason that this taking so long. Luis, hurry up please, you are making me nervous here. Oh gosh, I am getting sleepy too, well it has been a long night.

 You know being here is like being in wonderland. Everything is so different from where I grow up. I know I say this all the time but this is truly a house filled with love. That is the kind of house that I want to live in and the kind of house that I want to raise a family. Now if Luis would just ask me the question that I have been waiting to hear from a man that truly loves me for my whole freaking life I could get started on this dream house of mine.

 Thank god! There he is and nothing seems wrong he is smiling. That is a good sign right. Then why do I feel so nervous? My heart is beating so fast and I can't get it to calm down. I feel like it is about to burst out of my body because it is beating so hard against my rib cage. I know that sounds really gross but it is how I feel, like the air that I am breathing is being blocked off from my lungs and I can't force it down no matter how hard I try. Luis, I am killing myself here would you just ask the question, please!

 So this is it right? He is going to ask me at his house, which in a way is sweet. I don't know what I want really. All I know is that I just want him to ask me. Oh, I am so sleepy. No! I have to stay awake just a little bit longer. Drat it all! We are leaving and going back to my cabin. I swear this night is going to go down in history as the longest night of my life!

 (Scenes of them coming home omitted, I didn't see them and there is no review for that day)

 We are here and he remembers that question that he was going to ask me. Yes, I know this would happen if I just held on long enough. What! He is going to take a shower! I mean of all the times to take a shower. He could wait ten minutes, I swear! Ugh! I don't believe it! If he doesn't ask me soon I will say no, okay never mind that will never happen. I would never be able to say no to him. Well at least not regarding that question. I have an idea...

 (Shower scene omitted, I have to keep my PG/PG-13 rating here)

 So sleepy but I must stay awake. This is nice. Very romantic, so he should just ask me right now. Oh gosh I can't keep my eyes open. I am just so tired. He is saying all these wonderful things about me and about us but I am just so sleepy. So sleepy...
