Their New Life

The Proposal

*One week later*

Brenda's POV

I woke up to the sound of hushed voices in the kitchen. I peer around the corner after I get out of bed to see Thomas talking to Jorge. They've been good friends since we escaped W.I.C.K.E.D so it makes sense that they are talking but why in hushed voices? And why is Thomas looking more gleeful than ever? I can't not see him now. I get up form my hiding place As Thomas see me.

"Hi honey!" He says with a smile like no other.

"What's going on, Thomas?" I say giving him a kiss, he lingers on it.

"We were just gonna go down to the beach to-" Thomas starts.

"Ewwwww! Can I come?" I ask jumping around in Thomas's arms like a child.

"That's why we're going," he says. "I'll see you later Brenda, I need to go." He gives me a huge smile and kisses my cheek after letting go of me. He walks out the door and I turn to Jorge.

"Why did he want you to come to the beach tonight with you?" I ask him as nicely as I can but failing epicly. "No offense."

"None taken." He says with a smile.

He walks away almost as gleeful as Thomas without answering my question.

Thomas's POV

Did I at do that? Am I gonna ask her to spend the rest of my life with her? I want to so badly.

I walk over to Sonya and Minho who are talking in the Town Square. Sonya is now one of Brenda's best friends.

"Wow, Thomas. You look like a joyful wreck!" Minho exclaimed.

"I know, I know." I say. "I need to get ready for tonight." I give them a smile.

"Wait? That's tonight? I am so happy for you guys! I'm still waiting on this one over here to make a move." Sonya says kicking Minho's shin.

"What about this?" Minho kisses her and doesn't stop.

"Okay, I'm gonna leave you guys alone." I say backing away into a run to his house. Tonight, I was gonna propose.

*tonight*

Brenda's POV

The events that will occur tonight anyone could guess. I feel a shiver go down my spine when I hear a knock on the door.

Jorge opens it. "Hi Thomas, well you look nice."

"Thank you Jorge." Thomas says, he was gonna keep going but one look at me shuts him up.

"Wow," he says eyeing me up top to bottom, "you look amazing Brenda." He smiles into my brown eyes. I want to kiss him so bad... So I do. His lips are warm with sweat.

When we get to the beach Jorge leaves for a few minutes. We sit on top of the sand, I let the warm water wash over my sandals.

"So... What's the special occasion?" I ask.

"Here, come with me." he says. I follow him to our favorite Palm tree and give me a knife.

"We should write our names into this tree as a reminder of our love." He takes my hand and writes his name then a plus sign under it. I write my name under the plus sign.

"I love you, Brenda. Do you love me?" He asks looking into my eyes.

"Of course I do Thomas, I love you." I say with watery eyes and a smile.

"Then you'll like this." He sits down on one knee and take my hand. "Brenda, will you marry me?" I give a joyful sob at this, his eyes tearing up now too.

"Yes, Thomas, yes." I say with tears of joy streaming down my face. He slips a woven ring onto my finger made of twigs braided together and secured by dried sap. Thomas stands up and wipes the tears from my face and I do the same to him.

"Now we can live the rest of our lives with each other." He says with his huge, happy smile.

"Yes, yes" is all I say. I see Jorge crying in the distance. I hug Thomas and smell his hair while giving Jorge a thumbs up. Thomas starts to stroke my hair. I love him, and I know for a fact that he loves me.
