I sat at the table, waiting for my beloved Alexander. He had been so busy the past couple weeks I though I would do something romantic. The room was lit with candles and two plates of macaroni and cheese were on the table. Alexander had promised he would be home in time for our romantic evening. I waited for him, but the time slowly ticked by until it was well past midnight when he finally walked in the door. He immediately saw me. I was practically in tears. 

"Shit Tommy I'm sorry-" 

"DON'T TOMMY ME!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. He was taken a back, I almost never raised my voice at him. 

"Thomas I am so sorry, Charles Lee and I were debating on my plan, but he finally agreed not to veto it I'm sorry it slipped my mind!" He exclaimed. I slammed my fist on the table, causing Alex to jump. He didn't like sudden loud noises. 

"Alexander. I. Don't. Care. You promised me you would be here at 6 o'clock. I have been sitting here for six fucking hours! You promised me your time, and you would rather spend it with Lee!" I yelled. The tears started flowing down my face and soon they were also flooding down Alexander's. 

"Thomas you know that's not true. I hate Lee. Why would I spend my free time with him when I could spend it with," he said. He grabbed my hand, but I pulled it away. 

"Don't touch me!" I wailed. I started to march up the stairs to the bedroom, but Alexander followed me. 

"Tommy let's talk through this like adults," he said. 

"Alex don't you get it, I really don't want to right now!" I yelled. I slammed the bedroom and fell to the floor sobbing. I put all my body weight against it so Alexander couldn't open it. 

"Tommy please open it!" He sobbed. I just sobbed back in response. I heard Alexander sigh in response. "Ok. I'll sleep on the couch if that'll make you happy." I heard him walk back down the stairs. I stripped my clothes, but left on my boxers. I saw Alexander's hoodie on the floor and threw it on so I could smell him. I slowly crawled into bed. It felt empty without him. 

I woke up the next morning to the sunlight streaming in. I forgot to close the curtains. I slowly got out of bed and walked down the stairs. I was going to grab a box of cereal, a bowl, and a spoon and go back upstairs. I didn't want to talk to Alexander right now. When I got downstairs I was surprised at what I saw. Alexander had made banana pancakes with bacon. My favorite breakfast. There were heart shaped balloons strung around the room with "I'm sorry" written on them. Alexander looked like a wreck. His hair was greasy and up in a messy ponytail. He was in boxers and a t-shirt. His work clothes from the night before strewn around the floor. He had clearly been crying. 

"Alex," I said as I began to cry. I ran up to him and pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss. I pulled his hair out of the ponytail since he knew I preferred his hair down. I pulled away from the kiss and he was fucking smiling. 

"Thomas I am so sorry I forgot about dinner last night. I put work ahead of you and that was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Never again will I do that. And I was planning on giving this to you later, but now is probably the best time," he said. He got down on one knee and pulled a velvet box from his back pocket. Inside was a magenta ring "Thomas Jefferson. You make me the happiest man in the world. Every day I spend you is a day I am happy. So would you be willing to spend the rest of our days together and marry me?" 

I started crying even more, "Oh my god Alexander, yes of course!" I screamed. He placed the ring on my finger and then pulled me into a tight kiss. 

"Alexander I am so sorry I got mad at you last night." 

"Thomas you had every right to be upset," He said as he wiped the tears from my eyes. 

"I love you Tommy." 

"I love you too Lexi."
