Norray: The Model and Trusty Frust Employee

Chapter 37: "Aren't you gonna ask him to marry you?"

Norman's POV

We sadly weren't able to go out today to the city, due to the severe rain. So the whole time today we were playing games and watching TV.

"It's so boring!! I wanna go outside!" Emma whined from the kitchen

"I know, I know but the storm is picking up." I say relaxing myself on the floor

"I have a feeling it's going to be like this for the rest of the day. Wanna check the weather channel?" Ray said sitting beside me

I nod and change the channel

"Attention! There will be a gust of wind and major showers today!" The weather lady said

"Are you kidding me?!! That's not fair-" Emma said shouting

"Shhhhhh!! We're trying to hear!" Ray hushed Emma

"Rain will last all day and a bit of hail. We are not sure if it'll continue for tomorrow. But it's 67 degrees outside and we highly recommend you all stay in doors and turn on your heater immediately! This is Summer Walker reporting on C8S news! Have a good day!"

"Rain and hail all day?! I wanna go back to New North!" Emma whined louder

"Well it's not my fault we're here! You wanted to go in the first place!!" Ray yelled

"Guys, guys... There is no need to fight. We all should be thankful that we have a roof over our heads." I said

"Yeah I know but it was Emma's ideas to bring us here. And now she's complaining she wants to go back to New North." Ray sighed

I nod "Yes but we all should be calm. Don't worry. Hopefully tomorrow it'll be better."

"I hope so..." Ray said

Emma brought some hot chocolate for ourselves and passed a mug to each other.

"Thank you. So, do we have any game ideas?" I say smiling big

Ray thanks Emma, sips and shrugs his shoulders

I raise an eyebrow "You sure you don't have anything, Ray?"

"....I mean...All I can think of is never have I ever." Ray said

"Omg!! I know that game! Yeah yeah let's play it!" Emma said with excitement

"Okay, I will go first. Never have I ever....Drank bleach." I say

"Same." Ray said

"Yep!" Emma says

"Hehe okay. Whos next?" I ask

"I can go" Ray said

I nod and sip

"Never have I ever...Gotten poison ivy!"

I shake my head "Yeahh...I've gotten it before a bunch of times. It really itches."

"I've never gotten that before but I've gotten a mosquito bite!" Emma said

"Yeah that's very common. Alright, looks like you're next." Ray said

Emma nods and smiles big "Never have I ever....Gotten into a threesome!"

I slightly gulped and hid my face with my mug.

"Woah Norman...! You have..??!!!" Emma said with shock

"M-Mhm... But I was in college at the time. I slept with 3 guys. I pretty much regretted it. But they were so cute that I just couldn't say no." I say rubbing the back of my neck

"Ahh I see. What about you Ray?"

"Nope. Never have and never will!"

I laughed at his statement in agreement

"Okay, looks like I'm next. Never have I ever...Vaped or smoked!"

Ray was quiet

I raise my eyebrows "You have...?!"

"Ehehe, yeah I have. When I was 16 I did. But I only vaped, didn't smoke weed." Ray said

"Ohh...Do you still do it? Do you have it with you?" Emma asked

Ray shook his head "I quit when I was turning 17. I would hide it from my mom and do it at the school bathroom. And I threw it away. It didn't really teach me anything."

"Hmm..How did it feel when doing that? Just an easy explanation." I said

Ray smiles "It feels like nothing but there are different flavors you can get. I got cherry but it wasn't anything cool. And it felt like steam in your mouth."

"Good to know! Alright, Ray... You're next." I say smiling back

(okay i don't really know how smoking or vaping is like because ive never tried it and maybe never will so if i got some of the info of how its like incorrect... i do apologize ;_; )

"Never have I ever... Called any teacher 'Mom' or 'Dad' " Ray said

"You've never?! It's happened to me a bunch of times when I was in elementary....!" Emma said in surprise

"Same! I called my teacher 'Grandma'. It was Really embarrassing.." I say blushing a little

"Pffftt! Bahahaha!! You guys really embarrassed yourselfs!" Ray said wheezing

Emma and I both roll our eyes.

I yawn and rest my head onto Ray's lap. Ray suddenly blushes at what I did.

"Awwww!! Y'all are so cute!" Emma said giggling

"Mm...You and Gilda too!" I say

"Well- Yeah but you guys are like the main!"

"Thanks Emma. We really appreciate it." Ray said smiling

********************************

3rd person POV

After Emma and Ray were still watching TV and Norman sleeping on Ray's lap, Ray decided to head on to his and Norman's place. Before Norman could follow, Emma went to him.

"Norman, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Hm? Sure. What's up?"

"I was just wondering....Since you and Ray have been...Wait! How long have you two been together?" Emma asked

"Hmm...For about 5 months now. Why?"

"Oooohhh okay! I was just thinking that you should maybe propose to Ray on this vacation! We'll be leaving the week after next!" Emma said smiling big

Norman folded his arms and raised an eyebrow

"But aren't you gonna ask him to marry you...???" Emma asked

"Yes Emma...I will but I'm nervous. Proposing is a very big life challenge and it's kinda going to be hard for me to tell my family. They're not going to take it well at all. That's my fear and same with Ray's as well...Only his mother knows."

"....I know...It's sometimes easy and hard for some people. I understand. Especially this being an LGBTQ+ proposal and soon to be maybe wedding..." Emma said frowning

"Yeah...It's really going to be hard. I'm not rushing it. But thanks for the idea! I'll keep that in mind! Just not right now." Norman says walking to the door

"Of course!! It was just a thought in my head! Don't worry yourself!" Emma said smiling

Norman smiles back and leaves
