Part 6: We all fall down!!
Christmas was a dream and New Years had a different meaning. With Seth by my side to give me a New Years Kiss made me understand why they were so popular. I hadn't fully come to terms with what was gonna happen to Leslie and I don't think I ever really would but with him with me by my side I knew I could at least make it through somehow. Months were going by and going by and everyday I was learning something new to this wonderful man and things were fitting into places and feelings were being felt in places I didn't know I could feel. Taking myself away from all these thoughts rolling around in my head I finished applying my lipstick and headed for the door. while walking down the hallway I saw Lawrence quickly run out and slam the door. Really disoriented and seriously confused decided to brush it off till lunch. I walked my happy ass to work as always with a stupid grin on my face and approached to my work place. The elevator pinged open and I walk out collecting Seth's messages and made my way to his office to find him not there. Which sucked because even though everybody and there mama knows about us we have to be-careful around the office. I found a note on his desk that read "In conference room meet us there." I collected the usual things I knew I would need and began to make my way to the conference room. I turned the knob and faced my colleagues when I felt something start to grab me. "Aaaaarggghh" "dammit Zachary seriously!!" I slugged his arm and quickly walked into the conference with him quickly following behind me. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry but I need to show you something." "Damn Quinn I haven't seen Seth jump up that quick he looked like you when you hear the ice cream man." Alex says and everyone begins to laugh. "hey what can I say I love ice cream" I quickly made my way to my seat on Seth's left. "Okay your all settled here." Zachary hands me his phone and everyone gathers around me. It begins to play and it shows Zachary hesitating to make his phone stand while leaning against something on our coffee table. What seems like forever he finally makes it stand and takes his seat on the couch. "Lawrence" He calls out and waits anxiously on the couch after what seems like another eternity Lawrence finally shows up and takes a seat next to Zachary who quickly stands and fetches something in his pocket. My eyes shoot up quickly at Zachary "seriously" I smile at him "don't get excited keep watching." My eyes shoot back down to the phone and I see Zachery pull a small black box out and when Lawrences' mouth drops open he tosses it and says "so you want to do this or what? We all quickly look up at Zachery and the video ends. No says anything it's completely quiet and suddenly I burst out you with laughter "Bitch don't laugh at me I need help" "Jesus Zachary that must be that romance thing all the other couples are talking about." I quickly look to Seth who's just beaming at me "Babe take notes that's exactly how I wanna get asked." I point to him and put in my best serious face I have available. "Really Quinn you gotta help me out here." I finally calmed myself down and got into my serious mommy mode "Honestly Zach there's not much I can do, I can't fix this for you you have to do this one on your own. But advice I can give you need to do something big, something unforgettable, and out of this world!!" He begins to nod his head and than leaves without saying a word. "Bye love you too by the way." I call out, my day begins normal assistant stuff is being handled I've been left alone to carry on business well Seth's business in his office while he handles a conference call. I work and work and begin to lose track of time and when I'm by myself that's when my mind begins to wander. I begin to remember when I lost my grandmother back in 2008. That was one of the worst days of my life and the things I felt never really left. they never really leave you, you just kind of learn to push to part of your heart where you can't find them until days like this or nights where I'm alone. I begin to realize that I'm not alone in the office and look up from Seth's desk and find him just watching me. I know he worries about me so I quickly push everything back where it belongs. "Can I help you Mr. Macfarlane?" He walks in closes the door behind him and locks it. My heart begins to pump and I can feel the pounding in my ears I know what he wants from me. "Why Mrs. Taylor you have no idea what you can do for me." He stalks over to me as if he's about to go in for the kill. He lifts me up takes me into his arms and begins to kiss me slowly but passionately. It's a wanting kiss and I know what he wants its going on 2 months and I can't seem to give it to him. Don't get me wrong we "take care" of each other but there's something that keeps stopping me of course he's all but understanding but how many understandable looks can one give someone they obviously want? The kiss becomes more needing and I get this one of a kind feeling that I only get for him his hands begin to roam the inside of my shirt. I love his hands on me especially when there cold. Loud knocking causes me to jump and pull away from him. he kisses my forehead and goes to open the door. Zachary comes in and starts yelling at us "I've got a plan, I need your help (he points to Seth) and your helping me no matter what (he points to me) so as of right now I need you to start taking off rose pedals." Just than 5 guys walk in carrying 10 bouquets of 12 dozen roses each. "Bitch" I looked at the dozens and dozens of red and white roses. "There's one more thing your helping me with" I look at him as if he's speaking a language I've never heard before he comes up to me and whispers in my ear and leaves me completely dumbfounded "NO" "yes and don't even try and fight me on this you know I'll win." He turns and walks out of the office "Dammit" I spend the rest of the day taking off rose petals after rose petals after rose petals. when 7 rolled around I was beginning to get nervous we all said our goodbyes because we were on a mission. I got home quickly and changed into a black dress it was plain black and went to my thighs along with black stilettos and my hair straightened I quickly drowned the place in rose petals and helped make the table look perfect and also drowned with rose petals. I quickly made a path of rose petals from the entrance and place small white candles everything came together and just in time. At 7:45 I was waiting patiently for my cue and I knew everyone from the office was beginning to arrive and I was also really beginning to feel the nerves my palms were sweating and shaking and I felt like I couldn't move the butterflies in my stomach were getting worse and worse but I couldn't let Zachary down, this was for Lawrence. He deserves so much I can't imagine someone staying with another person and being okay with the way me and Zachary were. But he did and it beyond amazes me everyday. So I had to remain strong and cautious I mean how bad could it be. I began to hear the violins play and knew that it was almost my cue to literally face the music. When I heard the waiter tell Lawrence where to take his seat and say his hellos to everyone I let 2 more minutes go by than I made my way from the side of the restaurant put the microphone up to my mouth and began to sing there song
"Tengo que decir soy complice de un corazón que solo piensa en ti instantanea conexión de piezas de un rompecabezasque completaste en mi he de suponer que no existe otra manera
hoy me enamore de los pies a la cabeza siento que es tan perfecto que solo te podría pedir" I could see there faces but I'm really only focused on Lawrence's and I know he was surprised. I see him looking around for Zachary but there's still more to this surprise. I can see Seth watching me and at that point I wonder what's he thinking?
"llévame despacio cuida los segundos al besar mis labios nos espera el mundo para enamorarnos que el tiempo no pase que nada rebase al amor llévame despacio quiero estar contigo sin equivocarnos saltar al vació
pero sin soltarnos sin apresurarnos cuidándonos siempre los dos llévame despacio" As I finish that verse I can see the tears coming down from Lawrence's eyes and everyone enjoying the show than right on cue Zachary makes his way out to the spotlight with me kisses my cheek and makes his way up to Lawrence takes his hand and they begin to sway to there song and I hope Lawrence can see the way I know Zachary lives him.
"no pude evitar disolverme en tu mirada
voy sin parpadear a tu lado hipnotizada
siento que es tan perfecto que solo te podría pedir llévame despacio cuida los segundos
al besar mis labios nos espera el mundo
para enamorarnos que el tiempo no pase
que nada rebase al amor" I begin to sing the last verse as low as I can and Zachary gets down on one knee and I want to cry. I could have never imagined love being this strong and when my eyes meet with Seth I know that someday that's the man I want to spend the rest of my life. He's standing there looking at me the same way and we smile at each other because I think our hearts are in agreement. I look back at the two wonderful men in my life and I can't help but feel overwhelmed in love and the tears begin to flow slowly but I just keep singing. "Lawrence I know I'm an ass and you deserve way better than me but for some reason that I will never understand you love me and want to be with me. Your my best friend, my shoulder to lean on, and the person I love and when everyone said we couldn't make this work you said baby lets prove them wrong. And as of now we have but what do you say we prove them wrong again and make me the luckiest man on earth" He pulls the ring out from his pocket and holds it up to Lawrence "Because I would be one big dumb ass if I let you get away from me, so what do you say do this with me. Will you marry me Lawrence?" I finish the song and look at Lawrence waiting for his answer but I know it I can see it in his eyes. "Yes dummy of course I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you." He kneels on the floor in front of Zachary and the begin to kiss each other with tears flowing down everyone's eyes I begin to clap and the rest of the table does too. I make my way to table and everyone begins to ask me questions "Why didn't you tell us you could sing?" Mila says "Oh I can't for some reason they just think I can." I begin to look through the menu "Yes she can she's great at it just not very open about it." Lawrence says Seth wraps his arm around my shoulder and begins to talk to me we start our own conversation with eachother. "Everyday I learn something new about you, You sing beautifully and in Spanish Quinn I'm completely blown away." I look down and he grabs my face and begins to kiss me "Secrets don't make friends" Zachary yells in my ear and me and Seth decide to save that kiss for later. The rest of the night is filled with laughs, food, and drinks. Reminiscing on things I forgot had made me so happy at one time. I begin to think back to my grandma and now Leslie and how much I wasn't ready to lose her just like I was never ready to lose my grandma. it's like a vibe we share because suddenly I feel Zachary put his arm around me rubbing my shoulder and kissing me on the side of my head. "I love you Quinney you did wonderfully tonight and thank you so much." I kiss his cheek and wrap my arms around him and we hug. "Okay come on man that's my girl." Seth says and we all begin to laugh "So where are you guys gonna get married? Have y'all ever talked about it?" Mila says we all 3 look at eachother and Zachary rolls his eyes and me and Lawrence begin to laugh and in unison we yell "ROAD TRIP!!"
