Harrison giggled. "Yeah, I kind of cheated. I took the day off. I didn't think anyone wanted Nigel the explorer singing The Happy Song of Happiness at Jekyll & Hyde. It's not very scary."
He kissed her over and over eagerly. "Don't worry about leaving too early. No rush." He winked at her coworkers. "I'll make you dinner. Anything you'd like."
He picked up his ukulele and wrapped his arm around Cassie's waist for one more kiss. "Okay, leaving here is difficult," he said, chuckling. "I'll see you at home!" Strumming his ukulele once more, he left the pharmacy to the applause of Cassie's coworkers and customers, singing "Cassie, Cassio, Cassiopeia, Cassie the pharmacist..."
She giggled a bit, "You're probably right. I'll see if I can't come home soon okay? Because I totally don't think i'm going to be any good to anyone at the moment.." because she was so not going to be able to concentrate.
"Actually Cassie," her boss spoke up from the back, "If you want to go home now, be my guest.. you deserve it.." he told her.
"Really? Thank you.. that's very nice of you.. thank you sir.." she went and tried to catch Harri before he left, "Harri! Harri wait.." she called, trying to grab up her stuff and hope he had heard her.
Harrison smiled. He should've known that Cassie wouldn't be able to concentrate for the rest of the day. That was the only thing he hadn't really planned. He'd planned the song and dinner and the flailing outside the pharmacy after she said 'yes', if she said 'yes', but he hadn't planned this.
He was in still in mid-song when he heard Cassie call him. "Ca- Yes?" he asked, reappearing in the doorway with a big grin on his face.
"I can go home!" she announced happily as he came back inside, "Hold on one second!" and then she gathered up the rest of her things and then went over to go find him at the door. "Hi." she greeted, grinning from ear to ear.
"He told me I can go home.. so do you want to take me home?" she asked happily.
Harri leaned diagonally in the doorway, strumming his uke some more. "She's getting her stuff," he sang hilariously, making a funny face as he grinned. "She's collecting her things while her fiance sings... She's getting her stuff...Ba ba ba bo..." He did his Bing Crosby impression for effect.
He was so silly.
When Cassie came back over, he stood up straight and laughed. "Oh, I suppose I could take you home. Would you like me to carry anything?" he asked, taking her hand.
"Well considering your home is my home now, I suppose it's just as easy, though I was going to walk home of course.." she giggled at him. He was silly, but that's why she loved him. "I've got it all, thank you though.." she really just had her bag and that was it.
She put her hand in his and gave a wave to everyone else and headed out of the pharmacy with him. "That was.. so.. amazing and I .. I don't even know what to say Harri.. I'm so.. I'm speechless.. you know the kind of speechless that comes with words."
"I walked here," Harri giggled. "I was too nervous to drive. My hands were shaking." He accidentally struck one of the strings on his uke. "Oop, I guess they still are a bit." He giggled again. Giggling was a sign of Harri happiness.
He waved to everyone as well and shouted a "See you again!" over his shoulder as they left. He beamed at Cassie as they strolled together. "Speechless with words. Yeah, I think I know what you mean. You liked it, then?" He gently stroked her ring on her finger, feeling so proud and overjoyed.
"Then I guess we're walking," she giggled. "You were nervous? Aw there was nothing to be nervous about. You didn't seem nervous.. you were perfect.." she leaned up and kissed his cheek as they walked together down the road.
"I really really really liked it.. I'm so.. happy.. I mean I love you so much and we're going to get married," she squeezed his hand and tried not to squee too loudly. She was totally going to squee at her mother though probably.
"I could carry you if you want," Harri said, grinning. "Well, I was nervous because there was a chance you'd say 'no'. And there were people there." He blushed beneath her kiss.
Her obvious happiness and excitement made him even more happy. "I love you so, so much too, darling. I'm the happiest man in the universe right now." He leaned down and kissed her softly. "And the wedding can be whenever you want and any way you want. It's entirely up to you. As long as I can be your husband."
He couldn't wait to tell his dad. And everyone he knew.
"Aww Harri.. I wouldn't say no, and definitely not in front of other people," she was totally not that mean. Not like she would have said no anyways. "You don't have to carry me, just make sure I don't bump into anything," she giggled.
They kept stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to kiss, probably annoying everyone walking behind them but she totally didn't care. She kept kissing him because she really couldn't stop herself. "Ooh a wedding. Good grief, I bet Mom will want to plan the whole thing herself," she snorted a bit. "I'll have to talk her out of it.
Even though he had been nervous, Harrison knew in his heart that Cassie wouldn't say 'no'. He was just afraid of jinxing himself. "I know," he said sweetly, pulling her close and kissing her head. "I'll never doubt myself again." He giggled. "One of these days, I'm going to carry you. And I have to carry you over the threshhold someday. That's marriage law. Pretty sure it's written down somewhere."
He turned toward the people walking behind them, grinning. "We just got engaged." Saying that made him feel as though he could fly. "Yes, a wedding. Don't worry about it, though. Which, I know, is a bit weird to hear. But there's no rush. Your mum could plan it... Or at least help." He giggled again. "I think she'd kill us if she couldn't at least help. But maybe one of our friends is a wedding planner or knows a wedding planner or dated a wedding planner."
A taxi honked as they crossed the street. "Hey!" Harri shouted, smiling brilliantly. "We're engaged!!" He was like George Bailey at Christmastime.
Cassie started to giggle again, "Well all right, you can totally carry me anywhere you want to.. you're just so skinny," she teased, nuzzling his neck a bit and hugged him tightly with her arms wrapped around him.
The people were either going to be happy for them or just ignore them she figured, but she wasn't worrying about them. "Yeah.. no rush.. we can take lots and lots of time. We just moved in together after all Maybe I should wait on telling her or she was going to want to do it in two weeks," she giggled again. She just really couldn't stop. Oh a wedding planner like in that movie! He could be funny.."
She was so amused at him telling everyone. "Do you want to tell.. everyone on the Compendiums or would you rather just tell people we actually like?"
"I am a bit skinny, I guess," Harrison laughed. "But that doesn't mean I couldn't carry you!" He purred a bit as she nuzzled his neck.
The majority of the people around them were smiling, but some just wanted to brush past them. New Yorkers, according to Harrison, spent too much of their time rushing places. Rush to work, rush home. Why, he asked, didn't they leave in plenty of time to get places? Where, he wondered, was the fire? He just smirked at these people, feeling a bit smug at the moment.
"That's true," he said, nodding. He couldn't stop smiling. His cheeks were starting to hurt. In a good way. "But how long can you wait before you tell her?" He giggled. "Maybe tell her that we're planning to have a nice, long engagement? I'm probably going to call Dad tonight and tell him."
He waved at the taxi driver. "It would probably be a good idea to only tell people we like. Not that I don't want to tell everyone on the planet, but I'd rather not have Rose Bloom and her ilk harrassing us." He wrinkled his nose. "But please feel free to share it with all the nice people." He kissed her again, smiling. "I'd like you to have the honour."
"I know you can carry me.. I'm very sure you can.." she seemed to blush, maybe she was thinking something naughty. But anyways, he'd carried her before.
"Oh good lord I'm not sure we can go to dinner and not tell her, I bet she'll be able to.. well I mean it's not like I'm going to take off the ring.." she ran her finger over it a little, and grinned, "It's pretty big.. I've got a rock.." she giggled again. "At the very least we'll have to tell them at dinner. I can't wait to meet your dad.."
She nodded a little, "Yeah I don't want anyone harassing us either. I mean the other day when that .. bad smelling.. package was left on my door? I dunno what it was, I mean.. I don't think I ordered meat, but who knows y'know? I'd rather be safe then sorry.." hey it wasn't her fault someone had sent a scary package to a blind woman. "I shall do so, don't you worry."
Harrison smiled knowingly. Oh yeah, he remembered. "I feel like Popeye or something now."
He giggled. "It will be fun to tell her. I mean, how often do you get to tell your mum that you're engaged?" His voice caught in his throat at the end of that question and he looked down, still smiling a bit but suddenly looking quite sad. He bit his lip and forced himself to keep the tears in. "I'm sure my dad will love you," he said softly before clearing his throat and smiling bigger.
He nodded, looking thoughtful. "We'll have to be careful. But I'd hate to exclude everyone just because there're a few bad eggs." He looked slightly confused. "Bad smelling package? Oh, the one you threw away. You think someone sent you that on purpose?"
Cassie had been about to say something smart about only telling them once, but she knew already by the tone of his voice what he was thinking of, so she leaned in and hugged him tightly, "She would be so proud of you.. and happy that you're happy.. I'm sure she'd be thrilled.." she kissed him very gently on the lips.
"Yeah there was.. something that kind of smelled bad on my porch the other week. If there was a note, I couldn't read it. I just threw it out, " she shrugged. "Don't know honestly. Don't care."
Harrison giggled. "Yeah, I kind of cheated. I took the day off. I didn't think anyone wanted Nigel the explorer singing The Happy Song of Happiness at Jekyll & Hyde. It's not very scary."
