Never Say Never

Fifty-One.

I slowly woke up in the morning to faint kisses on my forehead and the words 'wake up' being uttered. I opened my eyes, Randy was hovering over me, already out of bed and dressed.

"How dare you wake me up on my day off," I said in a sleepy voice but also with a small smile

"Get up, we're spending the whole day together. Doing whatever you wanna do, how's that sound?"

I slowly sat up and stretched, "Sounds great,"

"Good, you get up. I'm gonna take Sarah to my moms"

"Okay," I got out of bed and made my way into Sarah's room. Randy already had her dressed, she was in her crib playing with one of her toys, "Ready to go see Grandma and grandpa today?" I asked her as I picked her up, "and you're gonna have funnnnnn" I tickled her and she laughed

I said goodbye to Sarah and handed her off to Randy. He left with her and headed off to his mother's house. I hopped in the shower, washed my hair and did all that good stuff, then I searched my room looking for an outfit to wear. I didn't feel like getting dressed up at all today, I even skipped out on the makeup. Only putting on a bit of eyeliner. After I got dressed, I brushed my hair and put it up. Randy just got back.

"Ready to go? I was thinking we could go get breakfast, I'm starving," Randy said

"Sounds good, I'm pretty hungry too. Was Sarah okay when you left? She didn't cry or anything, did she?"

"Of course she was okay," Randy laughed as we walked out to the car, "My parents didn't even get a chance to see her. Becky's there, she practically stole her,"

"Of course," I laughed

We arrived at IHop, we were seated and looked through menus.

"I already know what I'm getting," I said as I closed my menu

"Of course you do," Randy said

The waitress came over, bring us coffee and orange juice, she took our order, we thanked her and she walked away with our menus

"I know the first thing I wanna do today," I told Randy as I sipped my coffee

"What is it?"

"You're taking me to get another tattoo,"

"Am I? Okay, sounds good. I have a question though,"

Randy paused for a moment as our food was brought to the table. Randy got pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast, and hash browns. I got stuffed french toast with eggs, bacon, and hash browns.

"What is it?" I asked as I dug into my food

"How would you feel if I got tattoo sleeves? I'm talking all the way from my shoulders down to my wrists,"

"Randy," I laughed, "I can't even picture you with tattoo sleeves. Is that something you seriously wanna do?"

"Yeah, eventually," Randy said, "Would you break up with me if you didn't like them?"

"Well...," I laughed, "Depends how they look,"

Of course that was a joke and Randy of course knew that. After breakfast, we headed to the tattoo parlor where Randy gets his tattoos done. He knew the guy very well, he was a good friend of Randy's. I haven't been here since I got my first tattoo, my 'rko slut tattoo' as my dad calls it

"What can I do for ya, Randy?" He asked

"Not me," Randy said, pulling me in front of him, "But her,"

"Ah, Joanna. What can I do for you?"

"Okay, I know exactly what I want..."

I went on to describe the tattoo I wanted. He drew it exactly how I described it and it looked pretty awesome. When it was time to get it done, I laid on my side with my shirt up and Randy holding my hand. This tattoo took about a little over an hour and really hurt in some places but it was well worth it, "It looks good," Randy said

"It's awesome!"

We stayed a little longer, and talked. Then Randy paid him and we left. We spent the whole day doing various things around the city. It felt good to just hang out and spend time with Randy alone. No being at work, no friends or family, just us. I texted Becky throughout the day, checking up on Sarah. After a while she told me to shut the hell up and stopped responding. Gotta love Becky

We went to eat at the Olive Garden for dinner. Randy suggested we go somewhere nicer but I didn't feel like changing and getting dressed up.

"Okay," I said as we left the restaurant, "I want ice cream!"

"You're still hungry?" Randy asked, "What are you, pregnant again?"

"Haha, if I was pregnant again. I would of ate a lot more than that,"

"That is true," We headed downtown, to one of the city parks in St. Louis. This one had a huge fountain, a statue, and various kiosks around. I loved getting ice cream from here

"One brownie batter and..." I looked over at Randy

He shook his head, "No. Just the one,"

The man nodded and handed me the ice cream. Me and Randy spent the rest of the time walking around the park. I took it upon myself to start feeding Randy the ice cream, I sure wasn't going to finish it by myself.

"Do you realize we've been together for three years?" Randy asked

"Not really, doesn't really seem like it. Does it?"

"Definitely," Randy said, "You're a pain in the ass," I crossed my arms and glared at him, "But you're my pain in the ass,"

I laughed at him, "Three years and I haven't killed you yet,"

"Who could you honestly find to replace me? I'm-"

I covered his mouth, "You're arrogant,"

Randy rolled his eyes, "Well..." Randy placed his hands on my shoulders, stopping me in my tracks, "There are so many reasons why I love you, it would take forever for me to name them. You, me, and Sarah. I want us to be a family, a real family," Randy slowly started kneeling down and my eyes widened, "You promised to be mine forever and I want you to be, will you marry me?"

Randy opened a small black box and revealed this HUGE diamond ring. I stood there in shock..
