After asking me informally, saying it, talking about our future and all that, he finally did it.

I do now know who messed up, but somebody messed up Liam’s student grants, and we knew this. Liam tried to get their attention, send all the paperwork he had to the right institution but everything got send back unread, and denied his request. About a month back Liam spoke to one of his fellow classmates and he informed Liam that he was getting a lot more money than we do. This seemed really odd, as his parents earn more money, he lives together with his girlfriend who makes a lot more money than I do and even he had a really good part time job, much better than Liam.

So Liam contacted the LEA or whatever it is called, they investigated and we sound out all the information again. About a week later (whooaa!) we received a letter that they indeed messed up his grants, stating that we would get the money they owed him from last year and a bit that they still owe us for this year! I already told you that I have a new PC, which is absolutely awesome and amazing; we got some breathing space, finally.

The last 2 weeks he has been teasing me that now we have that little bit of breathing space, he bought me something special for Christmas, but I would not receive it until we were at my parents (a story for later, yes we are going to Holland for Christmas). How could he be so cruel! Stating he has something special for me, but not willing to give it to me! And to make matters worse, he ‘hid’ it in a little black bag in the drawer of his cabinet next to ‘his’ side of the bed. I knew it was in there and he forbid me to go anywhere near! Have you ever been teased like that, somebody saying there is something special for you, telling you where that special place is but not letting you anywhere near it!

I have to say, temptation was there, all the time, BUT! I made it, I did not go in that drawer and had a sneak preview, I promised and I wasn’t going to break that promise. Besides, I had an idea what it was going to be and I did not want to ruin that moment later on. Thank god that I did not go in for a sneak preview!

I was having a pretty rough week, very busy at work with a very annoying colleague sitting opposite of me and it was just horrible. Unable to get a good night rest, feeling cranky and nothing really seemed to go my way. Previous Wednesday Lee came home back from work, they asked him to do some overtime due to a big workload that came in, he had to work until 11pm. Tired as ***k as I was, I went to bed at 10 and fell asleep. Liam knows I cannot sleep very well until I know he is home save. I know, it sounds really bad and way too clingy, but I like my man home save, especially with his mate who was driving him home being an absolute maniac on the road!

Liam came up and woke me, saying that he is home save; he sat down on the bed and turned around to give me a really nice cuddle, giving me a nice gentle kiss. At this stage I was so happy to see him (as I did not all day) that I forgot all about my days being shitty. In his hand he had a little box, I did not even realise he had it until he gently opened it, I was a bit drowsy as I just woke up but when my sight cleared I saw the most beautiful golden ring with a lovely diamond on it. ‘Jo’ he said gently ‘will you marry me’.
