My Neighbor || Brooklyn Beckham

Chapter 21

*Laura🇧🇪*
It's been 2 more years since I came back from Manchester. Brooklyn and I are very serious now, and have officially been dating for 6 years! Both our families are surprised we have come this far. And I can't blame them. Unfortunately, I still live with Eden, but sometimes I go to Brooklyn's apartment. Anyway, I'm going out with Brook tonight, so excuse me while I get ready.

*Brooklyn🇬🇧*
Tonight is going to be the perfect night, with the world's most perfect girl...Laura. I need to talk to her about something very important and I know she'll love me even more.
I finish showering and change into my black button down and white skinny jeans. I slip on my vans, gel my hair, and drive over to Laura's house. She comes skipping out in black skinny jeans and a white v-neck. I open her door.
"Hey beautiful," I growl into her neck. I learned that you can turn her on my doing that. She smiles and hugs me and gets into the car.
"So where are we going?" she asks.
"Fanciest restaurant in town," I reply. She nods and I feel my jacket. Yep, it's still there.

*Laura🇧🇪*
Once we get to the restaurant, La Frante, Brooklyn takes my hand and we get to our table through reservations. I scan the menu and immediately find what I want: Chicken Parmesan. A waiter comes, we give our orders, and soon are sipping fancy wine. I look at his brown eyes.
"Your eyes shine like emeralds." he smiles at me. "I can't believe you're mine."
"Well, your eyes look like chocolate. And I'm obsessed with chocolate." I laugh.
"So you're obsessed with my eyes?" he smirks, and I nod.
"And you, of course," I say. He leans across the table and kisses me.
"I thought so," he says.
We eat our meal and soon we are just sitting and talking.
"What now?" I ask, a laugh coming out with it.
"We're going to the park," he says. We drive there, and it looks completely empty. I look out over the lake and soon feel Brooklyn attacking my neck. I feel him stop, and then turn to see him on one knee. Oh my god! This cannot be happening! In a good way. A tear slips down my cheek and he wipes it away.
"Laura Alice Hazard (pronounced a-lease)," he says, sweetly. "We've been dating for 6 years know, and I can honestly say I never thought we'd last. I've never felt this way, the way I do with you, and I'm happy to say you have changed my life." He opens a small box, and holds it out to me. "Will you marry me?" I just can't even breathe right now. It's so much to take in.
"Y-y-yes!" I exclaim. He puts the ring on my finger, and pulls me down to his level.
"Move in with me, too?" he asks. I nod and we kiss, for a few minutes. We pull apart and laugh.
"When are we telling our families?" I ask.
"Tomorrow," he says. "At your place." I nod and we head back to Brooklyn's apartment. I slip off my shoes and he puts on some Pitbull cause he knows it's my fave.
"Race you to my room." he smiles.
"I don't know where that is," I say, innocently. I just run off when he starts tickling me, and soon enough I land on a bed.
"I think you found it." he smirks at me. He pushes me down and lays on top of me. He smells very good right about now. He buries his head in my neck, and I play with his hair.
"I love you, Brooklyn," I say. He stops and looks me in the eyes. I push him to the bottom and kiss him. We fight over who gets dominance, and I end up winning.
"Love you, too, baby." he smiles at me. I couldn't be any happier than I am right now. He leads me out to the dining room and pours us both a glass of wine. We kinda just talk and when we look at the clock, it's midnight.
"I gotta text Eden," I say. I text him real fast, change into some shorts, and get into bed with Brooklyn.
"Remember when we were fifteen and you pulled a knife," he says.
"Oh yeah, I remember." I chuckle.
"And all the good memories," he says. I just look at the ceiling. I soon fall asleep, and when I wake up, Brooklyn's arms are wrapped around me.
"Wake up sleepy head," I say, really loud too.
"5 more minutes," he mumbles.
"It's already 9:30," I say. "And you told our families we would meet at 11:00." He gets up, and I do too, and he makes waffles...which I haven't had in a long time.
It's soon 10:40 and we hop in Brooklyn's car and go to my house.
"What's this big news?" David asks, a smirk playing on his lips.
"I finally decided, after 6 long years, to ask Laura to marry me." Brooklyn smiles proudly. Eden looks at me, and then he starts smiling. Victoria awes at it and we soon make small talk.
"So, my baby sister is growing up," Eden says.
"Yeah," I say. "It's been a long journey." And it has. That's for sure. Yannis pokes me.
"Does this mean I won't see you anymore?" he asks. I bend to his level.
"I will always visit if you want me to, Yan." I kiss his forehead and he runs off, smiling.
"So when are you two getting married?" Victoria asks.
"Sometime during the summer," Brooklyn says. "Maybe July." I smile at Brooklyn. The Beckham's (excluding Brooklyn) leave and me and Brook head upstairs to pack my stuff. I just get the same boxes I used to move to Manchester and load my clothes into them. Brooklyn just sits on my bed, looking through my family photos. In about 3 hours, I finish and have everything stacked up.
"Eden!" I scream at the top of my lungs. He runs up the stairs, making it seem as if he thinks something is wrong.
"What?!" he exclaims.
"Can you sell all the furniture in here, and the stuff I'm not going to be using anymore?" I ask. He looks around the room.
"I guess," he says. "You'll get the money in a couple days. Can you go say goodbye to our other nephews and niece?" I jog over to Sophia's room and she looks really sad.
"What's wrong, Sophia?" I ask. She doesn't look at me and continues crying.
"You're leaving," she says, sniffing.
"Aw, I know I am, but I'm growing up," I say. "And someday, you will, too. And you know I will visit and still take care of you." She looks at me with hope, and pulls me in for a bone-crushing hug. My phone beeps.
Jessica👭: can we meet up somewhere? I need to tell you something
Me🙌🏻: sure, Starbucks? And I do too
Jessica👭: k see ya in 10
I put my phone away and go say bye to Jackson and Leo and go back upstairs. Eden embraces me and kisses my head.
"Promise you'll come back to visit," he says.
"You know I will," I say. "I love you so much, Eden."
"Love you, too, Laura." he smiles and Brooklyn and I head to Starbucks. I sit at a table and Brooklyn gets us our regular drinks. I see Jessica walk in and embrace her with a big hug.
"Hey, Jessica." Brooklyn smiles.
"Good to see you, Beckham." she smiles back. She quickly orders her drink, same as me, and sits down with the biggest smile on her face.
"Spill your secret," I say. She just looks from me to Brooklyn.
"Matt proposed to me!" she exclaims like a little school girl. Brooklyn and I make eye contact.
"Well, congrats to you," I say. "We've got news, too." Jessica stares at me, mouth agape.
"Yeah, I proposed to her," Brooklyn says, grinning at me.
"Omg congrats!" she exclaims, hugging the both of us. "I totally saw that coming."
"So, how come Matt proposed?" Brooklyn asks. Jessica smirks to herself.
"I'm already a month pregnant," she says. Wow wow wow. My best friend?! Pregnant?!
"Awwwww yay!" I exclaim.
"Now what about you?" she asks. "What made you wanna propose to this nut?" Brooklyn chuckles a little.
"You think I would delay it any longer after 6 long years?" he basically asks, a smile forming. "I loved her too much to have made her wait longer." He grabs my hand and I lean on his shoulder. Jessica grabs both of our phones and takes a pic.
"This is going on my Instagram." I smile. "It is way too cute." I make it black and white and post it on Instagram using the caption: "he finally proposed after 6 long years😚 couldn't be any happier than I am right now!💙 luv u Brooklyn @brooklynbeckham."
"July 4," Jessica says. We both look at her. "I get married on June 4th, so you should get married a month after me."
"That's not a bad idea," I say.
"It's a perfect date." Brooklyn says, pecking my lips. "Now let's go buy some invitations and we can get working." I hug my best friend goodbye and we drive to a wedding store: where we buy invites and cards. While we're out, I print out 150 copies of that black and white pic. We get back to the apartment, and get to work. About 4 hours later, we finally finish and all we have to do is mail them out.
"I'm hungry," I whine as I jump on the couch.
"Alright, what do you want then?" Brooklyn asks. "Pizza?" I think about it, and we end up deciding to get a cheese pizza. The guy on the phone said "30 minutes duuuuude."
"What is that guy? Like a surfer?" I burst out laughing, as well as Brooklyn.
"No idea," he says. "Hey, random question, but when do you wanna have a kid?" I just look at him.
"Maybe after we're married?" I suggest. He looks at me with that whiny face.
"Really?" he complains.
"Hey, I don't wanna get sick before my wedding, Brook," I say.
"But after that, you have to promise me," he says. I look at him and we lock our pinkies.
"Deal." I smirk at him.
