Please Don't Bite

Forty

Jasmine's POV:
----

Their wedding was beautiful, but their reception was stunning.

The large backyard of the ranch house was dimly lit by candles and different little lights. It just reflected how gorgeous the two newlyweds were. They had hardly been apart from each other the whole time, Orion's arm always around Jorgeous's waist as she admired her.

Bosco sat beside me at one of the tables, leaning against my shoulder with Jeffrey in her lap. She was busy admiring the promise ring on her finger, a smile on her face.

"I'm so happy for them." She said as she watched them laughing together at their table. She turned to look up at me, hinting that she wanted a kiss.

I smiled and leaned down to press one to her lips, making her giggle softly. "They deserve it. Their vows had me crying."

"Trust me, I saw." Bosco teased as she grabbed my hand. She sighed in content and moved her chair closer to mine, snuggling Jeffrey to her chest.

I was still debating on when to tell her. Maybe when it got just a little quieter. I rested my head on top of hers as I looked around, wrapping my arms around her waist.

Camden had been hovering over the desert table, already having devoured two pieces of cake. Now she was curled up in a chair by Angie's side, about to knock out now that the effects of the sugar had worn off.

Daya had moved from the drums to the keyboard, which I didn't know she could play. Willow was watching from the table closest to them, a look of adoration on her face. Maddy was actually singing something that didn't sound like it would permanently damage her vocal cords, and Alyssa was for once calmly strumming the strings of her guitar. It was nice.

I turned my head to watch Jorgeous and Orion again. Jorgeous was happily soaking in all the compliments and love from her new in laws, before she looked over and met my eyes. She gave me a knowing look, and I started to fidget. I was still terrified about this.

Jorgeous raised a brow before getting an evil smile on her face. She giggled before she tossed the bouquet, aiming right for Bosco.

Bosco squeaked when the flowers landed in her lap. Her eyes widened and she blushed heavily, looking up at Jorgeous. "Hey-"

Jorgeous winked before turning when Maddy spoke into the microphone. She held tightly onto Orion's hand, pressing quick kisses against her cheek.

"Before the newlyweds have their first dance," Maddy said in a sappy tone. "I would like to share the meaning of the song they picked out. Because it means a lot to us."

I tilted my head, holding tightly onto Bosco who was still blushing. I glanced down at the stuffed animal in her lap, more specifically the pocket on the jacket it wore.

"This song's about meeting someone you instantly feel a connection to." Maddy continued, swinging the strap of her acoustic guitar over her head. "About being damaged and broken, but able to let this person in and see the whole you, all of you. And trusting that they won't hurt you. It's called Bite, and we hope you like it."

They started playing the familiar tune we had been hearing throughout our dorm rooms. But this time the lyrics were much more clear.

"Kiss me on the mouth and set me free
Sing me like a choir"

It went quiet, just the sound of the song filling the air. I watched with a smile on my face as Orion twirled Jorgeous like she was a princess, her arm around her waist and her hand holding one of hers. The way they gazed at each other was electrifying, like pure love just radiated off of them.

I looked down at Bosco, deciding it was finally time. "Coco?"

She tore her eyes away from Orion and Jorgeous, tilting her head and looking up at me. "Hm?"

"I can be the subject of your dreams
Your sickening desire"

I took a shaky breath, pointing down at Jeffrey who was still on her lap. "I think...there's something in Jeffrey's pocket. Maybe you should check."

Bosco looked confused but nodded. She set Jorgeous's bouquet down on the table, picking Jeffrey up and opening his pocket.

My heart raced as I waited for her reaction. There was always the chance she would turn it down, or even worse just walk away. I stayed silent, watching as she gasped.

Bosco pulled the engagement ring out with a shaky hand, her eyes wide and starting to fill with tears. "J-Jasmine...i-is this...?"

"Bosco, my sweetheart..." I said softly and incredibly nervously, taking her hand in mine and making sure only the two of us could hear what I was about to say. "Will you marry me?"

Bosco put a hand over her mouth, tears starting to spill from her eyes and down her cheeks. "Y-Yes, yes yes p-please-" She stuttered and wrapped her arms tightly around my neck, pulling me in for a kiss that I happily and tearfully reciprocated. She was mine, and I was going to give her all the love she deserved.

Bosco let out a quiet cry when we pulled away, letting me slip the ring on her finger. She smiled as she admired it beside her promise ring, pulling herself up into my lap. "Oh my god, Min. I love you so much..."

I wrapped my arms tight around her, drying her tears so we didn't cause a scene. "I love you too, baby. I love you so, so much."

"Don't you wanna see a woman up close
A phoenix in the fire"

Bosco snuggled against my chest and I held her close, looking back up from her. Maddy's soft voice continued to echo through the yard, the strumming of the guitars making it feel so calm. Orion rested her forehead against Jorgeous's, and they swayed back and forth in each other's arms. Camden had pulled herself up into Angie's lap and they were sharing slow and sweet kisses. I had just proposed to my girlfriend, the sweetest girl in the world. And she said yes.

It couldn't have been more perfect.

"So kiss me on the mouth and set me free
But please, don't bite"
