Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Picking up the surprise
"Is it really mine?" Yuzu asked, her mouth hanging slightly agape as she held the red velvet box in the palm of her hand, a bright diamond shining inside it.
"Mhmm, you have paid it off completely seems like that overtime really paid off. Though if you're not ready for it we can keep it here until you request it?" The woman smiled as she watched the look of amazement on the young woman face. It wasn't often she seen someone work this hard to earn a ring and it was even rarer she seen such a reaction.
"No its fine, I mean i wasn't expecting to have it paid for another couple of months but I'll take it with me." Yuzu was grinning from ear to ear, she couldn't draw her eyes away from the ring in the small box, she frequently pulled out the drawing the sketch artist had drawn up when she was alone, she thought she had every detail memorised, but the drawing couldn't compare to the way the diamond shined or the way the amethyst reflected the light. All her efforts over the last months finally sitting in her hand, and she would finally be able to propose to Mei.
After sighing of papers and a brief goodbye, Yuzu walked back to her car trying to keep her excitement in check. As soon as the car door was closed she had the box open and inspected every detail, it still felt surreal that she had something so valuable in her hand, something she had worked so hard for Something Mei had been waiting for for months.
Though her concentration was broken as her phone started ringing, the sound making her drop the small box. Quickly picking up the box and making sure she hadn't damaged it in any way Yuzu pulled her phone from her pocket to see Mei's caller ID. She had left rather abruptly.
The two were sitting down to lunch when Yuzu got an email from the jewellers telling her they had somethings they wanted to discuss and requesting she come in. Not thinking much of it Yuzu finished up and headed out, not mentioning where she was going but that she would be back soon.
"Hi Mei," Yuzu said, her smile evident in her voice, her upbeat tone put Mei at ease as she relaxed into her seat.
"Hello, where are you and are you going to be much longer?" Mei asked as she tucked her feet under the blanket she was currently wrapped up in. Yuzu felt her heart pounding at the question, she didn't want to lie but she had managed to keep her secret for this long, a few more weeks wouldn't hurt.
"Oh well I'm just sitting in the car just now, I'm in town I was just picking something up. I'm on my way home now, I'll be about ten minutes." Yuzu said with a laugh, tucking the box back into the small black back it came in before placing it on the passenger seat.
"I see, you better hurry up, the movie you wanted to watch is about to start and you've been gone for nearly two hours now," Mei said, a slightly longing in her voice as she awaited the blonde's return.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I'll be home soon, I love you." Yuzu said in her usual chipper voice, but it was clear to anyone that Yuzu seemed to be in an extra good mood.
"Drive safe, I'll see you soon," Mei said through the phone before hanging up and awaiting the arrival of the blonde.
Mei was still snuggled beneath the blanket when the front door opened and she was met with a cheerful blonde bounding down the hall to greet her.
"I'm back!" Yuzu shouted as she bent over the couch to give Mei a kiss on the cheek, a wide smile on her lips as she pulled back to look at her girlfriend.
"I can see that, did you get what you needed?" Mei asked as she rubbed gently on the spot Yuzu had just kissed, Mei could only smile at seeing her girlfriend so happy, she was usually energetic, but this was next level excitement that Mei hadn't seen in a while. Or perhaps at all.
"Yup! And now I'm ready to spend the rest of the weekend doting on you and givin' you my full attention!" Yuzu exclaimed, her hands smooching Mei's cheeks as she pressed a kiss to her lips. Yuzu was surprised when Mei didn't push her away as smack her hands away when she released her from the kiss like she normally would at being kissed in such a way; Instead, she gave a warm smile to Yuzu and kissed her again, a gentle peck before nodding her head.
Picking up her bags, Yuzu skipped down the hall to their room throwing herself on the bed as she pulled the small box back out the bag and into her hands. Gently popping the box open, Yuzu seemed to lose her breath again at the sight of the ring. Drawing herself to sit on the side of the bed, Yuzu watched the ring as she took it out of the box for the first time to inspect the ring fully, Yuzu viewed it from every angle as she imagined the ring on Mei's finger.
"Yuzu are you alright?" Mei's voice brought the blonde out of her trance, making her jump and fall off the side of the bed. "Yuzu are you alright?!" Her voice rising slightly, Mei started making her way across the room to see her girlfriend but stopped in her tracks as Yuzu jumped to her feet with her hands behind her back.
"Yup I'm fine! Nothing to see here!" Sweating nervously, Yuzu clenched the ring tight in her fist. She just managed to kick the box out of view as she stood up and pressed her hands tight to her back. She expected Mei to press further about what she was obviously hiding, but instead, she nodded "Do you want to me to leave you alone for a bit?" Mei asked as she motioned to the door.
"Oh yeah, umm I'll just be a minute longer." Yuzu said, and sighed when she watched Mei walk out the room and close the door behind her.
"Whew that was close, I gotta find somewhere to hide you until I come up with a plan." Yuzu said to herself as she placed the ring back in the box before closing the lid. After a quick glance around the room, Yuzu's eyes lit up at seeing a small spot behind her mangas. Placing the small bo behind before carefully placing her books in front of it, making sure nothing looked out of place.
Nodding her head once more, Yuzu couldn't stop smiling as she made her way through to Mei who was perched on the back of the sofa waiting for her, her blouse slightly undone.
"M-Mei!?" Yuzu stuttered as she slowed her walk down when she saw her girlfriend watching her. Mei slowly unbuttoned the rest of her shirt exposing her stomach and breasts to Yuzu who had turned beet red.
"Well, are you going to keep me waiting any longer?" Mei said in a low tone, the smirk on her lips giving the blonde shivers. Shaking her head rapidly Yuzu came at Mei so fast she knocked the pair over onto the couch.
Pressing her lips against Mei's hard not caring for their uncomfortable position, Yuzu pulled back as she caught her breath and gave another toothy grin, "I love you, Mei!" Leaning down again Yuzu took Mei in another kiss, taking the breath from the younger girl.
This was going to be the best weekend they had had in months, Yuzu was sure of it!
