Chapter nine
Colson and Ariana decided to do date night out with some friends for her birthday. She chose to wear a black dress, with some black Louboutins, and Colson, of course, managed to match his outfit with hers. She walked slightly behind him holding his hand as they entered the restaurant.
They were bombarded with paps, as usual but managed to get inside. Ariana hugged her brother, mom and Nonna, and Colson did the same.
"Happy birthday princess, I'm sorry I didn't get to say it earlier." He mumbled into her ear as he started to finally relax.
"You're fine Baker." She giggled.
"I guess we've both just been so busy lately, it's good to spend time with you and your family."
"My mom and Nonna adore you." She whispered.
"That's good, I'm glad cos I'm waiting on trying their cooking, I've been dreaming of that pasta, and those cutlets since you sent me that video."
"Don't worry, there's always Thanksgiving."
"What?" He said.
"Wanna spend thanksgiving with me and my family?"
"Can I bring Cas? She's spending thanksgiving here and Christmas with her mom this year." He shrugged.
"Sure."
.............
They all started chatting and laughing as they ate their food.
"Once you try our food you won't ever want to leave."
He chuckled.
"Mamma!" Ariana couldn't help but laugh.
Ariana excused herself to go to the bathroom.
"Joan, Frankie and Nonna I want to ask you something." Colson said instantly, feeling nervous.
"Sure go ahead" Joan smiled.
"I wanna ask for Ariana's....hand in marriage." He exhaled.
"I know it's real soon but...I really cannot imagine my life without her. I love her." He finished.
"Don't fuck up."
"Frankie! You have my blessing."
"And me, ahhh I always liked you anyway, if she says no I'll take you." Nonna laughed so hard it practically echoed through the restaurant.
Ari🖤: Is my purse on my seat? Or did I bring one?
K🥵💕: no and no.
Ari🖤: fuck!
K🥵💕: what's up?
Ari🖤: period! heavy bleeding need tampon!
K🥵💕: you could've just messaged me a full sentence😂 I'll be there in a second.
Colson excused himself. He had two tampons in his jacket pocket inside. He always had them on him for her, since he knew how forgetful she was.
Ariana and Colson arrived back at the table.
"Are you ok? Why did he need to go with you?"
"Mamma, he didn't, what if he needed to pee?" Joan chuckled as she shook her head.
"Did you guys get up to something naughty?" Nonna giggled.
"God no." Colson chuckled.
"Really?" Ariana sassed the woman at the table.
