Third Person's POV

Three months had passed since the whirlwind of emotions and realizations between Louise and Stacey, and in that time, their bond had grown in ways neither of them could have predicted.

Louise, determined and head-over-heels for Stacey, had been making consistent efforts to show just how serious she was about courting her. From spontaneous coffee dates to late-night conversations under the city lights, she made sure Stacey felt special every single day.

Now, it was December 20th, just days before Christmas, and Louise had been carefully planning something extraordinary. Tonight, she was going to ask Stacey to be her girlfriend. It wasn't just a question she wanted to throw out casually.

Louise wanted the moment to be perfect—something Stacey would never forget, no matter the outcome. Whether Stacey said yes or no, Louise was ready to continue courting her until she was sure of her feelings.

Louise had arranged for the proposal to take place at a private restaurant owned by the Razon family. It was the ideal location, intimate, elegant, and most importantly, secluded enough to give them the privacy they needed for such an important moment.

The restaurant's main dining area was transformed with the help of their friends, who had all gathered to make sure everything was just right.

7:25 pm - Razon's Restaurant

Inside the restaurant, the energy was bustling with excitement. Gwen, Colet, Kai, Fons, Javi, Aiah, Mikha, Sheena, Jhoanna, and Maloi were all working together, decorating the space with a grand, romantic atmosphere.

The tables were adorned with rose petals, candles, and soft lighting that created a dreamy ambiance. A specific table was being set in the center of the room, where Louise planned to ask Stacey the big question.

Javi and Kai, as usual, were bickering loudly while attempting to help with the decorations.

"Javi, tumutulong ka ba talaga o kunwari lang 'yan?" Kai teased, throwing a playful smirk in his direction.

Javi, never one to back down, puffed out his chest. "Hoy! Excuse me? Expert ako mag decorate nang ganto ka-romantic. Alam mo bang napanood ko na lahat ng romantic movies kaya-"

"Expert nga, expert mang gulo." Colet interrupted with a playful roll of her eyes, real-talking Javi into submission.

Sheena and Jhoanna laughed from across the room, watching the chaos unfold as Javi and Kai continued their antics. Eventually, they all agreed that perhaps it was best to keep Javi and Kai away from the more delicate parts of the decor.

On the other hand, Aiah and Fons were in their own zone, carefully arranging the table where Louise and Stacey would dine. A bouquet of roses and tulips sat in the middle, a symbol of Louise's affection for Stacey. Next to the bouquet was a beautifully wrapped box containing two bracelets—one for Stacey and one for Louise, a token of their growing connection.

"Are we sure the boys aren't going to mess this up?" Aiah asked, adjusting the table setting while glancing at Javi and Kai, who were still engaged in their comedic bickering.

"Hindi 'yan. We've got it handled." Gwen replied confidently, arranging the final touches to the flowers.

Everything was coming together perfectly. All that was left was for Louise to arrive with Stacey and for the magic to unfold.
