Love : Picked up love (1)

Marriage?

Pierre stood outside holding onto Magnolia's hand as her friends helped put her things into their car, he wasn't saying anything to her at all but look at her hand that he was holding and Beatrice cleared her throat

**Ahem! Ahem!** "If you're going to say farewell, say it. It's not like Mag is heading off to war." Beatrice teased both of her friends 

"I really think that your mother and you should just stay here." Pierre said to Magnolia who smiled at him 

"I told you, my mother and I will go back home and-" Magnolia said but Pierre pulled her in 

"You already said yes, you and your mother will move in any way so why not do it now?" Pierre asked her, which surprised her since he didn't come off as someone clingy but she knew for sure that he was stubborn and persistent.

"Explain to me." Sabina demanded from Pierre and Magnolia turned to face her two friends with a flustered face but she smiled 

"...Me...Me and...Pierre had agreed to get married." Magnolia said to the two, making their jaws drop and Magnolia just chuckled

"What?! Mag, darling have you thought this through?!" Sabina took hold of her friend and pulled her away from Pierre

"Bina, darling. Calm down, I've just agreed, I'm not getting married today." Magnolia said to her friend; they use the word "darling" when they talk to each other.

"DARLINGS!" Beatrice joined in and they looked towards her 

"Enough with the fight, Bina, darling. I guarantee  you that my brother is someone who we can leave out baby to." Beatrice said as she turned to look at Pierre, she had grown up with him, and the only reason she was half as humanly as she could be also thanks to his parents. 

"You would say that! He's never looked at you as a woman but just a sister so of course, he would look good to you! What about all the other women that he had been with? What-" Sabina said but Beatrice hugged her friend 

"This is not the interrogation room, darling and even if it is, Pierre is as much of a virgin as Magnolia." Beatrice said to Sabina but it was Magnolia who blushed 

*Ahem! Ahem!* "Are we done talking about that?" Pierre asked the three ladies who finally turned their attention back to Pierre

"We're done." Beatrice said and Pierre walked over, taking hold of Magnolia's arm and pulling her away from the group. 

"Please call me as much as you can, if you can face time is better and text me-" Pierre said but Magnolia chuckled as she covered his mouth with her palm

"I'll call you once I'm home. I'll text you anytime I have and for calls, I am a doctor so we'll have to see if I have the time. I promise I'll make time for you." Magnolia said to him and Pierre smiled at her as he pulled her in for a hug, he held onto her for a while and let go of her. 

"Go on, go before I change my mind." Pierre said to her and she gave him a light peck on his cheeks, her mother was already in the car with Biggy so that left her two friends to gawk at her action. Embarrassed Magnolia rushed to the car, she saw Sabina get in the car but Beatrice was talking to him and the two were laughing and Beatrice got in the car, they drove off but Pierre was still standing at the gate watching them leave. 

Pierre's view 

He stood there watching them leave, it was almost as if they were taking a part of him away but he chuckled to himself. Growing up he had little interest in love and he never really got attached to people or things, he always thought that Magnolia was the second person that he wanted by his side at all times but he later learned that she was and had always been the first person that he wanted in his life more than other people.

"Brother, any longer and I would think you're crazy." Astor said to his brother but he said nothing to his brother

"Teas me all you want, today I won't get mad." Pierre said to his brother as the two of them walk back into the house, their parents were in the dining room waiting to have lunch with the two of them. 

"Mother, I heard brother said that sister Magnolia had agreed with his proposal. Doesn't this call for a celebration?" Astor asked his parents and the two chuckled at their younger son as the two of them take their seats. 

"Now is too early, why don't we wait and celebrate all at once at the wedding?" Pierre said to his brother who laughed

"She made my brother tell jokes! Sister Mag deserves my respect!" Astor said and Pierre chuckled 

"What a bunch of lies, I've joked plenty of time. Also, it wasn't a joke." Pierre said but he couldn't help but laugh, he felt as if there was something tickling his heart; making him laugh. 

Back to Magnolia 

Once they got home, Sabina helped take the luggage and Biggy inside while Beatrice and Magnolia helped her mother inside.

"Mother, are you tired today? Do you want to go to bed?" Beatrice asked Magnolia's mother but she shook her head

"Let's sit...sit at the window." Magnolia's mother said and Beatrice smiled, Beatrice turned to look at Magnolia 

"You can go get the other luggage, I'll help mom to the rocking chair." Beatrice said and Magnolia nodded, Magnolia went to get her things from the trunk but when she went out Sabina was already coming in with the last of it

"You've already taken everything out?" Magnolia ask Sabina who nodded 

"There wasn't much, but there's some juicy gossip." Sabina said to Magnolia who looked at her with a smile, usually Sabina doesn't gossip but when she does, it's worth the talk. 

"Really? About?" Magnolia asked but Sabina motioned her head forward and when Magnolia looked toward that direction it was Beatrice who was at the door waiting for them, Magnolia could do nothing but look back at Sabina 

"REALLY?!" Magnolia asked and Sabina chuckled as she nodded

"We'll talk inside." The two of them walked over to Beatrice and the three of them walked into the house together. The three of them made dinner, cleared the table, and washed the dishes together. Inside the house there is one room where the three of them gather and talk, that room was decorated comfortable from wall to wall so that the three of them can just lay down wherever they please, there are about two windows, a little closet that they don't really use and a hanging TV, with two giant bookshelves covering the wall.
