BOUND 2 (GxG)

Lowkey You Said?

"Davis actually got on his knees?" I asked in disbelief as I walked with Cher to lunch.

Cher nodded animatedly, "Both knees and everything."

My brows raised, "I don't believe it."

"Believe it girl," Cher said, flicking her dark hair back.

I rolled my eyes playfully, "Girl gets a lil Valentine's Day proposal and gets a big head," I joked.

Cher nudged me, "Hey! You should be happy that we finally took this step!"

I laughed, turning down the empty hall with Cher, "No, I totally am, seriously. Hopefully, he'll ask you to be his girlfriend tomorrow night."

Cher's eyes widened, "On Valentine's Day? I don't think I would want that—besides I feel like it's too much happening back to back."

I shrugged, "I think it would be cute."

"Of course, you do—you and Karter are literally the most love-sick couple I have actually ever laid eyes on," Cher said, purposefully dragging her words out dramatically with a loose smile.

I nudged her with a laugh, "No-no, she did something really lowkey for Valentine's Day. You remember—"

"Kloan and the t-shirt that said Be Mine—Yes I remember," Cher said, rolling her eyes as we entered the noisy cafeteria.

My brows furrowed when I heard a loud song playing—specifically the song Bound 2.

I looked around the cafeteria, seeing all the students looking at Cher and me—even Tate who had seemed to always be irritated around me.

I'm so glad Cher handled Tate—I don't know how but she did.

Honestly, I don't think I'll ever want to know how... Cher can be scary when she wants to be.

"Are we interrupting a Valentine's proposal?" I asked, looking at Cher as we walked to our table.

Cher only motioned to our table, "Apparently the only one we're interrupting is yours."

I blinked a few times, turning around to see Davis and Karter standing by the small rectangular table with a black stereo in front of it. The table remained covered completely in Fleur boxes of red roses—the contrasting black roses easily spelled out, You're already mine... but be mine for V Day?

Oh my god.

I felt the eyes and phones of everyone on me as Karter met me halfway, sliding her arm around my waist with a small smile dangling on her lips.

My cheeks easily burned with the warmest heat, feeling suddenly shy, "I thought you already asked me?" I whispered, sliding my arms around her neck.

Karter shrugged, "You deserved to be asked twice."

I laughed, shaking my head, "This is..." I trailed off, looking over at the roses and taking in the song playing, "I'm actually speechless right now."

Karter pressed a soft and fleeting kiss to my cheek, pulling back as she met my stare, "Bound to fall in love?" she said, reiterating the song.

I felt my stomach do a flip, feeling my face grow even warmer, "Oh yeah."

"You before me of course—I have to win this bet, you know," Karter said, winking at me and pulling away before I could remark. She cleared her throat, "Sloan Taylor, will you be my Valentine?" she said, her voice louder and easily making the watching crowd aw.

I felt a grin light up on my face so harshly that my cheeks grew sore, "I would be honored."

Within seconds, Karter took a step toward me, sliding her arm back around my waist and dipping me down for a kiss—easily making the crowd's aws turn to loud cheers.
