21st Century

"Are you sure you want to do that?""It's the 21st century, June. Men aren't the only ones that propose anymore."I said as I packed up my things, getting ready to leave for the night.I plan on surprising my boyfriend of three years with a marriage proposal dinner, but first I need to surprise him at his work... Conner McKentire. He is the most special person to me and I loved him. I know June didn't have much of a liking for him, but she didn't know him as well as I do... I gathered my things, said goodbye to my friends at work and made my way to his office.I worked at Mercy Hospital as a student physiotherapy nurse. Conner and I met almost four years ago when I was still in college... we were on the same bus every day for the past few months when he finally started talking to me, three months later he asked me to be his girlfriend, and we have been inseparable since.He works as a sales agent for H&B... He has always been very dedicated to his work. I would usually call him before

He took me by surprise. I had thought that he was asleep or was he and I wasn't as quiet as I thought I was? I pushed myself off of the door and stepped closer to him... I couldn't make out his face as it was badly bruised and swollen, but his eyes were a pretty light gray... his hair a birds' nest and his lips cracked and busted... was he in some kind of fight?"broody much?"I asked as I looked at him closely... Where have I seen those eyes before?"No, not broody. I am just not in the mood for you nurses... thinking you know everything.""Well, I am in no mood for you either and, frankly, when it comes to nursing, I think we know more than you do, don't you?""You think you know more than the current doctor does. So piss off, I want to be alone."He grumbles. June wasn't wrong. He was a brute, but I wasn't going to let him intimidate me."Too bad big guy... I don't, so suck it up and if you knew better than we did, don't you think you would be home nursing yourself?."He groaned lo

I took heed to his advice. Overthinking was something I did constantly... but Conner wasn't worth overthinking about... Hudson, annoying as he was, knew what he was talking about better than anyone right now... I turned to face him, sticking my hand out..."Can I have that back now please?"I asked, pointing at the ring on his left ring finger with my other hand..."Oh Ava, you cannot propose to someone then ask for the ring back, especially after I already said I would.""Nooo.... that's not what I did, I just shit.... I didn't want him to see it, I didn't ask for your hand in marriage, and you know that... so hand it back."Just then, the door to his room opened, and a beautiful older woman stepped inside... followed by another woman wearing nursing attire but not from our hospital..."Hudson, son, I am so glad you are awake. I brought someone to meet you. Her name is Elise, and she will be taking care of you from now on..."The woman said."I don't want anyone taking care of me, mo

Proposal

I shut my eyes and lent my forehead against the closed door, that woman away knew how to ruin my day... I got lost in memories of her... how I had to clean up after her when she was too drunk to do anything, the amount of times I burned myself trying to cook when she left groceries. Other times I lived on water and prayer.We had no other family, at least that's what she told me. Ron was never there for anything that happened in school and I always found myself making up reasons why she never showed up for a parent-teaching meeting or even when I was the angel in a Christmas play. All she cared about were pagans because they brought in money.I tried asking her about my father, hoping that she would share memories of him with me, but all I ever got was, he left because you behaved like a spoiled little s**t. There were times when she was so drunk just the sight of me infuriated her, and she would smack me across the face...******"If it weren't for you, I would still have the love of
