Finally after he tried to get the ring back and it was not given by Apple, Jayden compromised. He planned to take it back after she had fallen asleep or when she wasn't paying attention.
Jayden then gently nudged Apple's body for her to follow him to the nearest couch.
"Sit down," Jayden said, followed by Apple, while she was still staring in amazent at the ring in her hand.
Jayden then took the first aid kit that had been given by the hotel staff and then knelt in front of her to treat Apple's calf which was still bleeding from the broken glass.
"Nice ring, nice ring," Apple began to sing, following a tune of her own and this her ridiculous banter cleared Jayden's annoyance and he laughed, because after all, he was glad that this girl liked the ring.
The ring would eventually be hers too.
"I'll wear it so it doesn't get lost." Apple then put the ring on her finger, but because the ring was a little too small for her, she had to force it a little.
"No!" Jayden imdiately raised his head and when he grabbed Apple's hand, the ring was already neatly tucked into her finger. The ring was stuck on Apple's finger.
"Look? It's good, isn't it? Now this ring will be safe with ," Apple said cheerfully, showing her hand to Jayden. She laughed happily, but not at the man in front of her.
Jayden didn't know what to say to Apple now. Because he felt confused between wanting to cry or laugh at the behavior of this woman in front of him.
"Okay, okay, you can wear it," Jayden said in a low voice. He then looked at Apple with a resigned look on his face, but his gaze was like he was going to let this girl do what she liked.
Including putting on the ring that Jayden was supposed to give to her as their engagent ring.
Did this an Apple agreed to his proposal, even without him having to get down on one knee and ask if this girl was willing?
If that was the case, this thod was very easy and a relief, but why did Jayden feel awkward and wrong?
He really shouldn't be doing this.
And it was true what they had discussed before, that the order of their relationship was so ssed up. And the proposal that was supposed to be sothing they couldn't ss up, turned out to be like this.
"Okay, it's ti for bed," Jayden said as he grabbed Apple's hand to carry her to bed.
Maybe later after Apple had gone to sleep, Jayden would be able to remove the ring and propose to her normally, although it was a bit ssy at first and this could not be considered a surprise for Apple anymore.
"Pick up," Apple said smugly, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing Jayden's lips.
"Okay," Jayden chuckled and lifted Apple's legs, so she wrapped her legs around this guy's waist, while he lifted her up like a baby koala.
========================
In the middle of the night, Jayden was grimacing when he tried to pull the ring off of Apple's finger. He had tried various ways, even had used soap, leaving large and glaring wet spots on the bed, but still the ring couldn't be removed.
Jayden did plan to asure Apple's finger unnoticed and alter the size of the ring to match her size.
But, who would have thought that the ring was actually worn by Apple and turned out to be too small? And now the ring was stuck on her finger.
"Oh, my god…" Jayden was feeling frustrated and depressed, while Apple was sleeping soundly.
In the end Jayden gave up, he would take Apple to the doctor tomorrow if they still couldn't figure out the best way to get the ring off.
And yes, Jayden's plan that he had worked out in his head had failed miserably.
Forget about surprises…
Jayden then lay down next to Apple and hugged her body while trying to sleep, at least this way he could sleep better.
=======================
Apple woke up when she heard the sound of the rain outside and the soothing sound of the waves. She squird and found Jayden right behind her, his warm breath hitting the nape of her neck.
Apple smiled when she found herself in this position, especially when she realized Jayden had been holding her all night.
Slowly, Apple moved her body so as not to wake Jayden, then positioned herself face to face with the man who looked still sound asleep.
Jayden was breathing deeply and there was a slight furrow between his eyebrows, a trait Apple realized was an indication that he was thinking hard.
But, what was he thinking about? If Apple could read a person's mind, then Jayden would be the only person she was curious about how his mind worked.
Apple wanted to look at her phone to see what ti it was, but then she had to get out of bed and that was sothing Apple didn't want to do right now, because she felt very comfortable in this position.
She felt so safe and comfortable in Jayden's arms, hearing the mix of the waves crashing and the rain outside.
It was a feeling that was difficult to describe in words.
"Why do I feel this way toward you?" Apple whispered, while Jayden snored softly. He looked so cute and innocent when he was sleeping like this and Apple felt that she could spend the whole day just staring at him without feeling bored at all.
"Wake up..." said Apple, without making any actual effort to wake him up.
Apple reached out and stroked Jayden's cheek, pinching his nose lightly and laughing silently, as she pulled his nose and it made Jayden grunt a little.
But sothing else caught Apple's attention, when the dim light from the room reflected off the ring she had on her ring finger.
