《Taking My Heart (Completed)》51. Breathless
Advertisement
One of the best surprises that Shane has done by far. Plus, I am not even mad that my schedule has been tampered with by Lola and Jovi. We dropped off all four of the fur babies by Gram's and Mom was there, instead of Lola doing it.
I think Shane has it hard, since he has officially not been away from Tanker since he got him. It makes me a little nervous but we have been over what I can do to help him should he have an episode at any time and Tanker not around.
I have learned so much more about Shane in the last couple of weeks between all the phone calls, but also all the dates we have been on. Just like he knows literally everything about me and thanks to Mom showing him all the baby photos of me too.
"So are we in a hotel tonight or the truck?" I look over to Shane since we are back on the road.
"I thought a hotel tonight." Shane gives me a short look and smiles.
I nod. "I now understand why Lola had to go out during lunch. I forgot she even had a key to the house." I laugh.
We fall into a comfortable silence together, as the truck moved down the road. We have been on the interstate for a bit before Shane takes the exit. It is darker out now and I wasn't paying attention to the signs, but we can't be that far from Blue Sky's.
"Are we getting a hotel close by?" I look over at him.
"Sort of, yes. The load is set for tomorrows delivery and the company won't accept it before then." Shane chuckles slighty.
I try to look around for any possible signs of which town we are actually in. Shane seems to know what I am doing.
"Close your eyes for me little paws." Shane's voice comes out soft.

I follow what he wants me to do, and even lower my head to where I can't get the urge to peek my eyes open. "So are you going to dispatch of me now? Got tired of me so instead of just breaking up, you want to bury me." I tease.
"Not even." Shane laughs. "Who could get tired of a woman like you? You're perfect."
I can feel the heat creep up on my cheeks, as butterflies flutter around my stomach. Shane always seems to make me feel so shy and giddy all at the same time.
With my eyes being closed, makes everything else seem to be more. It is like when Shane spoke, I heard it more with the emotions he seemed to be holding back.
The feel of the truck coming to a stop, really makes me want to raise my head up and sneak a peek but I am waiting. When he pops the brakes and a light turns on at the same time, I flinch not expecting it. I had thought we just stopped at a light or something.
"You can open your eyes now." Shane's voice seems hesitant.
I am quick to look up and blink. As my vision clears from how hard I kept my eyes closed just so I wouldn't peek, I see a amusement park in front of us. There are many other cars around us and I can't stop the laugh that comes out.
"I was not expecting this. It looks like so much fun though." I look over to Shane to see him smiling wide.
He jumps out of the truck and I climb down next. His arm wraps around my waist and pulls me close to him. He pulls his phone out and shows it to the woman behind the booth. Apparently, this was also planned since he has done bought the tickets in advanced. After the lady places bands on our wrist, we walk into the park.

The sound of a few rides make me smile, as there are people squealing. I hadn't been on any type of ride since I was a small child and even then I wasn't allowed on many because I was so short.
"Have you been to carvinals or amusement parks like this before?" Shane looks over to me.
"A carvinal, yes. I was a small child and most of the rides I was not tall enough to get on." I laugh.
Shane steered us to the huge ferris wheel.
"Let's start with the easiest ride first?" Shane makes it seem like a question.
"I am all for it." I nod and try to hide the gulp.
That thing is much taller than the one I was on as a child. It is like I thought that first one I been on was large, yeah no, this one is humongous.
We wait our turn and the person at the bottom, moves the stop the wheel to where we take the seat at the bottom. I sit down and my heart thumps hard against my chest. Shane moves the bar over in front of us and I could almost laugh at the crazy of it all.
One simple bar for us to hold, while hundreds of feet in the air. All while in a chair that literally swings.
Okay, maybe I am not cut out for this ride? It is just as scary as the first time when I was a kid.
"Relax. Nothing is going to happen." Shane whispers in my ear, as the ride starts making us move up in the air.
I try to relax but I hold onto the bar with a death grip.
Right as we get up to the top slowly, the wheel stops.
No, no, no, no, no!
Shane starts laughing and puts his arm around me, I can literally feel every movement he is making. The chair we are in actually swings a little back and forth.
"Sit still." I barely breath out, as my heart is pounding so hard it should just fly out of my chest and I can hear it in my ears.
"Little paws." Shane rubs my shoulder.
I look over to him and he has the largest smile on his face. Shane coughs and tries not to laugh, at no doubt how wide my eyes are with my labored breathing.
"I love you so much that it hurts. Never in my life did I think this would be possible for me to be capable of feelings things for someone like I do with you. Samantha, you have changed me for the best. Everything you do, you do in compassion and with your whole heart. It shows and especially with looking at the small fur baby family we have together. One thing I am serious about is wanting us to fill our new house up, whether with fur babies or actual babies we may have together in the future." Shane smiles and kisses my lips tenderly.
"I want that too." I smile and finally feel myself relaxing.
"There is one thing I want more than anything before we get the keys to our new house. I want us to start the next adventure of our life together in that house. Would you do me the honors of becoming my wife?" Shane whispers. As his other hand holds the most beautiful ring I've ever seen, thanks to the lights around us makes it shine bright.
"Yes." I say breathless. Shane's face breaks out in a huge smile as his pearly whites are on full display.
"There is nothing I would love more than to marry you and grow old together."
Shane places the ring on my finger and his lips find mine, just as our chair starts to swing gently from starting to move again.
