"Dance with me!" I speak as I drag him off the couch by his arms. His sleepy figure follows along with me as I move to the side of my living room.
"No let me sleep!" He cries out as he tries to fall back down on the couch. I pinch his arm and drag h...
It's been about two weeks since the finals and one week since we've started summer break.
I'm at work right now and it's cold. I quit my other job and got a new one at Cold Stone.
The freezed custards looked good but I knew I couldn't eat it right now and had till I got off–which was in three minutes.
The bell above the door chimed, letting my know someone walked in. I put on my best smile and walked up behind the counter.
"Hi welcome to cold stone, what can I get started for you?"
They tell me the size they want and what flavor they want along with any other toppings. After I get done living it all together I tell them their total and they pay.
"Have a great day." I say back before sighing and wiping down the counter. The door opens again so I plaster a smile and do the same thing over again until I'm off.
...
The door opens as soon as I get my bag and put it on my shoulder. I look up expecting it to be another customer but stop short when I see Enzo and Sydney behind the counter with smiles on their faces.
"What's with the smiles? I don't like it." I say to them as I round the counter and stop short in front of them. I have to look up at Enzo before looking down at Sydney with squints.
I ran out of contacts and have to go get more tomorrow and I put my glasses in my bag and don't want to take them out.
"We can't smile?" He puts his arm around me before dragging me out the shop and to his car.
He opens both of the doors for us and we get in, buckling ourselves before he shuts the doors.
I turn around in my seat to look at Syd. "What's wrong with your brother?"
All she does is smile and shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. He dragged me out the house and told me we were getting you so I didn't really care."
I smile and lean back into my seat. This has gotta be a set up of some kind.
The door opens before he's scooting into the seat and turning the car on, backing out and driving down the road.
He takes one of his hands off the wheel and puts it on my thigh. I look over at him then his hand and gasp.
"You got a hand tat?" I exclaim as I analyze the hand on my thigh and lift it up. His hand is now tatted with a name tat on the side.
I look at it then him before looking back at it to see it's in cursive writing. The shock comes back to my face when I see the tat is of my name.
I look over the rest that lay on his hand and see the main one being of Ace cards that read 'Life's A Gamble' in writing underneath it.
"Okay I like it but what I'm really confused about is why my name is tatted on your hand?"
"You're gonna figure out why in about five minutes." I furrow my brows and look back at the road to see where now turning into a dirt road.
"Ah heck nah, you're planning on killing me in some quiet and sketchy place that no one will find me at and you probably got my name tatted on you as a memory!" I rush out.
He parks then looks at me with his brows raised up and a concerned look on his face. "Um, no and two just get out and you'll see. Crazy women." I hear the last part and wack him in his arm as I open the door and get out.
The warm summer air embraces me as I walk in the fallen leaves. Enzo comes my way along with Sydney and grabs my hand.
We continue walking until we stop and he hands me something. "Put this on your eyes and don't take it off until I say so."
I look down at the bandanna in my hands before shrugging and doing it anyway. "Just know if I fall into something or hit a tree, I'm rocking you in your jaw Rocky Balboa style."
I smile before hearing a laugh and feeling him grab my hand. We start walking but I'm still very cautious as we do so.
After about–if I'm correct–five minutes of walking we finally stop. The hand leaves mine as I hear the sound of multiple pairs of feet hitting the ground.
"If you left me Lorenzo Spencer Colombo, I'm going to hurt you so bad after I get this bandanna off my eyes." I speak out loud as I hear a laugh from him.
"I didn't leave you mama, trust me now take the bandanna off." I do as told and take it off. As I do so just gasp before looking away, feeling my eyes get watery.
I bite my bottom lip as I look at the sign that reads 'Be My Girlfriend' in cursive and bold font.
The outside is surrounded with fairy lights hung up and pictures hung on the trees by a piece of thread. The pictures are of me and him being our goofy self's or just pictures our friends took of us off guard.
"Will you be my girlfriend, Gabrielle Alicia Morgan. If you say no that's okay but just know I'm not letting you go." Laughs come from behind me making me turn around and laugh as i see his mom, dad, sister, Ethan, and Ayla.
I turn back around and walk up to him, I look at the sign then him and around us. I wrap my arms around him before saying g yes.
I feel myself be lifted up before hearing him yell out "She said yes." I laugh as I nuzzle my face into his neck. The smell of his body wash and cologne has me biting my lip before kissing his neck.
His arms that are wrapped around me tighten before I lean up. We look at each other with smiles on our faces.
This has been the best day so far and I'm very grateful for him and his family.
"Thank you baby. Really you don't know how long I've waited to ask you this."
I smile at him before pecking his lips. "How long?" Keeping that same smile he tells me since freshman year making me cringe and laugh.
"Ew I had the ugliest braces and those big ole' glasses." We laugh before looking around at everyone to see them conversing with each other.
My eyes zoom in on Ayla and Ethan to see them smiling at each other sadly. I furrow my brows before looking back at Enzo to see him witnesses the same thing.
We both nod to each other before he puts me down and we walk our separate ways to our best friends.
