NOW OR NEVER,

[rockie]

It was everything that she had hoped for, and this moment had been a long one waiting. The ring twirled in her hand, she looked down, staring at it as if it were some foreign object. This had to be done, happiness could be shattered if it wasn't done. Fights happened, they were a part of a healthy relationship, but was doubting feelings too? Raquel had long ago fell in love, the age of Rockra had come and gone, but their love hadn't ever faltered. The doubts weren't that simple though, they were strong and Rockie couldn't really pin the way to fix it on the nose. She wanted to fix things, and somehow they had, but those doubts still burned in her stomach. Like the fact that after she told Vera about what happened to her in jail, and about her previous life, the girl took off. Ran from her as if she was some sort of plague, even if that had been the moment she had needed the blonde the most. Never understood why Vera picked her, out of all the males and females she could of had, picking the most broken and with the most baggage.

This ring, had been picked out a long time ago, on a trip with Gwen and Tabitha, and a few other friends who helped her out. She had been planning to do this around the time of the twen wedding, but doubts had littered her mind. She waited, and she debated, finally coming to her conclusion. They had been separated for quite some time, which really led her to her decision, she wanted to see if their love could survive. Last time, Vera was too busy to even see her and seemed to have way too much on her plate. Now, Vera came to LA to see her every other week, which proved a changing side of the matter. It had her feel like she was wanted and loved, and needed. Those were three certain traits that Rockie enjoyed, mostly attention was in there too. She was a unique girl, a bitch or so people would always think. It was hard to love her, hard to handle her, and very hard to deal with her. Veronica had seen past all of that, stuck with her for about a year now and Rockie still never forgot their first date. A skating rink really, Gwen and Talon had tagged along for support, the new budding couple who neither knew how to skate, fumbled everywhere. It was the start of something new, something fragile and something that would soon grow into what it was today. Though it may still be a budding relationship, the fragile state was long gone, and they were stronger and tougher than ever. Breaking up was not in their cards, or so that's what she figured anyway. They were strongly in love, and that wasn't about to break for any reason at all, not now and not ever.

So here she was, if one can paint a picture in their head of a female sitting at the kitchen table twirling a diamond ring around. It wouldn't take place here, she didn't want to do it so boringly, and she wanted it to be remembered. There were a few places where she thought of doing it, like the park and times square. All of that sounded nice but she had something else in mind, the first place they really got to know each other. Yes, the ice skating ring. Since it was cold out now, it was opening soon, well it opened this week. That's where everything was going to happen, but first she needed for Veronica to come home. She tapped her foot on the floor, and slowly put the ring back into the box that it came in. She slipped that into her pocket, and looked in the mirror, fixing up her make up and hair one more time. She needed to keep doing this, she wanted to look perfect for this and though she knew she was hot, she wanted to look hotter. Vera deserved the world, and she wanted to give her lovely girlfriend that. The promise ring was one step, moving in together was another, getting a puppy together another, and now what was left? Getting engaged was a good step, that's what she thought, plus they'd probably end up having a long engagement. She knew Vera had pictures of wedding dresses in her notebook, more than likely ones that she wanted to wear someday. She wanted to give her dear Veronica just that, the dream that she always wanted. Now, as the front door opened, her heart started to race. It was now or never, that was for sure.

She had been taking some time to herself, she was out all day just going around the shops that had her newest line in and she was trying to figure out what she was going to do next, she had been taking some time off to be with Rockie, having her so far away from her was hard, so she decided to slow down work and go and visit her whenever she could, she still worked, she needed too, life wasn’t that easy that she could be there with Rockie, hand and foot all of the time, she needed to work, it kept her sane half of the time. She did run away from Rockie when she found out about a few things, it was hard for her to deal with it but then again this was the woman that got pregnant at a young age and lost everything, she didn’t tell people about her past, she was told when she was younger that no one basically cared about what she had gone through and finding things out about Rockie hurt her, and it made her run instead of facing it because she wasn’t ready to have that pain in heart from someone she loved, she knew it was wrong and she had said sorry, more than once, ok Rockie liked to keep hold of the fact she did it, and she felt like she was never going to be forgiven, but she didn’t want to lose her, so she was dealing with this, because she had too.

A lot of people asked her why she had picked Rockie and a lot of the time she couldn’t give you a great answer, she was shy and talking about serious stuff sometimes bothered her, but she knew that when they asked that she just had to look at her girlfriend and be like ‘she is the best thing that has even happened to me’ and that was true, her first serious boyfriend knocked her up, said he was going to be there and disappeared after the death of their child, then Kayleigh tried to push her into someone she didn’t want to be, and do things that didn’t make her happy. Rockie was different, she cared about what Veronica thought, and who she wanted to be, I mean she supported her for such a long time. They had gone through a lot in just over a year of being together, from fights to nearly breaking it all off to having to try and knit everything back together and work from the bottom again, she was in this for the long run, she pretty much knew that when she finally gave in to Rockie that she was stuck in this for a very long time. She had been off about the whole thing to begin with, she didn’t know what she wanted and she knew her parents didn’t agree on her dating women, but then when she was with Rockie, she felt like she was on the top of the world, she made her feel like an angel, so she stopped caring what other people thought of her and her relationship with Rockie.

So she had finished for the day and she knew that Rockie wanted to go out for the evening, they tried to do this at least once a week and Vera really enjoyed the time they spent together, she as she headed to their door, she opened it and smiled seeing her girlfriend sitting at the kitchen table, she then placed her bag on the floor, took off her coat and hung it up. She then moved over to Rockie, leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips ”Hey baby, how has your day been?” she grinned before leaning on the table and looked at her, she didn’t know what the plan was for tonight, she was going to just allowed her girlfriend to take the reins for the evening.
