Chapter 3

Your POV:
Newt has been gone for five hours! Where could he be? He wouldn't answer his phone and no one knows where he is. I tried calling again. He actually picked up!
"Hello?" Someone familiar answers.
"Hello, I'm (y/n) and I'm calling my friend Newt, who are you?" I ask.
"I'm Brenda, remember me?" She says.
"Brenda! Hey, is Newt there?" I say.
"Yeah, he's inside he store, he left his phone with me," Brenda says. "I'm sorry if I don't answer earlier, I was doing something and I just saw the missed calls."
"It's ok, can I talk to Newt?" I ask.
"Lucky girl, he's coming right now, hold on," she says. I wait.
"Hello?" Newt answers.
"Newt! Where are you? You've been gone for five hours!" I say.
"I'm still at the mall, sorry, I couldn't find the right one, I'm coming home right now," he says.
"Ok Newt, I still have to talk to you, I'll see you when you get back," I say.
"See you," he says and hangs up.
~~~
About twenty minutes later, Newt closes the door behind him.
"Newt! You had me so worried!" I say hugging him.
"Well sorry, I didn't know I meant a lot to you," he jokes. I smile.
"You mean more than the universe to me Newt," I say and he smiles.
"You mean more than the universe to me too, (y/n)," he says.

Newt hasn't talked to me ever since he had gotten home. He's standing on the porch. I'm worried about him. I sat at the kitchen table when I hear the door close and feel his presence.
"I've been thinking," he finally says after some silence.
"About what?" I ask.
"I like you (y/n), ever since the day you came up the box," he goes upstairs but quickly comes back.
"I like you too, Newt," I say. "I'm worried about you."
"I'm fine, I'm the one that should be worried," he sits on the chair next to me. "About you."
"Why me?" I ask nervously.
"I forgot to knock on your door before entering this morning," he says and my eyes widen. "I stood there, watching, listening, hating every word."
"Newt..."
"I want you to be happy, (y/n)," he sighs. "There's something I've been wanting to ask you for some time now."
"What is it?" I ask.

"Will you marry me?"
