Cloud the mind

He was expecting her usual routine of trying to tell him why she was no good for him and why he shouldn't even bother with her. Whenever he heard her say these things he really hurt him deep down. He hated hearing her talk about herself that way. As he had already told her hundreds of times and would tell her a thousand times more, her past didn't bother him. It was what she did now, and the fact she was trying to overcome everything with the best of her ability he was fine with that and was there for her if she needed him.

Eyes watching the bottle as it was waved in his face, he sighed heavily. "No...I don't want-" he started before he was dragged back towards the couch. His brow furrowed as he tried to figure out what in the world she was up to. Was she trying to tell him she had destroyed another one of his household appliances or something? If that was the case he'd just go out and replace it in the morning, not in the mood for going out for something like a microwave or a toaster. As she walked over towards the window and picked up a cigarette she had obviously left there his eyebrow shot up, wondering what could be making her so nervous at the moment that it required a cigarette to reveal it to him.

She walked back over and just kind of stood there staring at him, adding to his confusion as seconds went by. He blinked several times as she started talking about how she cared for him. Of course he knew that...it was made clear to him long ago how she felt. What was going on? "Of course I know tha-" he had started speaking before she had finished but stopped when she had paused herself, her hand in her pocket. He was beyond confused at this point as he noticed her face turning red. His eyes grew wide and his mouth hung open when she spoke again and revealed to him the promise ring in her hand.

A grumble escaped his lips as his place was finally coming into view. Unfortunately he had been caught behind a traffic jam after some idiot decided to not use his turn signal and was slammed into by another car. "...where did these people get their licenses...a cereal box or something?" Shaking his head he quickly whipped his car into the parking lot. Sea-green eyes since apparently they aren't teal haha scanned the area as he looked to make sure nobody had taken his preferred spot. Given the mood he was in they'd most likely have a smashed windshield waiting for them the next time they walked to their car. Luckily nobody had decided to today, a loud "Hmph" being his only response as he remembered a few days before when some old lady had decided to park there. After parking and locking the door about twenty times like always he rushed to the door, knowing most likely someone was just laying there waiting for him to get home.
