"How the fuck do I do this, Normani?" I asked Lauren's best friend.
"Uhh... I dunno. Do something romantic. She likes the cheesy romantic stuff like that." Normani replied.
"Yeah, but anything could be romantic, I need you to be specific. I'm freaking out here!" I said, sitting down on the couch in my living room and putting my head in my hands.
You see, I met Lauren about 6 months ago and during that time, we became very close. I've realized I have feelings for her so I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend. The only problem is, I don't know how.
"How about you ask her after your football game on Friday, it'd be cooler if you won as well." Normani suddenly spoke up.
Instantly, it was as if a light bulb was just switched on above my head. I jumped from the couch and pulled Normani into a bone crushing hug.
"Yes! That's exactly it, Normani! That's exactly what I'm gonna do, you're a genius! Have I ever told you that?" I exclaimed.
"No, but I wouldn't mind if you called me that more often." Normani joked.
I ran to my room to start working on my plan.
--------------------
Throughout the week prior to the big day on Friday, I talked my teammates into my plan so they could help out and asked Lauren's friends to keep her distracted on Friday after the game so I could set it up.
Luckily, everyone agreed so all I had to do was get everything I needed and hope for the best.
My plan was to win the game, hopefully, then get my teammates to bring out a massive sign that reads 'WE JUST WON THE GAME, NOW CAN I WIN YOUR HEART?'
I just thought it was cute and cheesy and that's what Normani said Lauren liked so I hope it will work.
--------------------
Friday rolled around and as each hour passed, I was getting more and more anxious.
My teammates and I were in the locker room and I was a nervous wreck. Everyone kept reassuring me and telling me it would be fine and everything would work out but I couldn't help but think of the negatives. What if she said no? What if she doesn't feel the same way? God, I was so scared.
--------------------
"AND Y/L/N SCORES THE WINNING GOAL! MIAMI HIGH HAVE WON!"
I was so happy. Everything went amazing and if Lauren says yes then I'll have a perfect girlfriend by the end of the night.
All my teammates dog piled on top of me, elated that we won.
It was now or never. I could see Lauren's friends pulling her from the bleachers down to the field and my teammates went off to get the sign.
I ran over to Lauren, giving her a massive hug. Of course, hugging everyone else as well.
"Congrats, winner!" I heard Lauren say.
"Thanks, really, that means a lot." I spoke genuinely. "Hey, I've got something to ask you."
I pulled Lauren to the middle of the field before she could say anything. The sign was set up and I heard her gasp when she saw it.
One of my teammates handed me a microphone and I started my not so planned speech.
"So uhh... Lauren, ever since I met you, I have been completely enthralled by your beauty. Seriously, you're, like, stunning. But, it's not just your looks that I love about you. You're passionate, intelligent, talented, everything I could ask for and more. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, will you be my girlfriend?" Lauren stood there with tears in her eyes and I suddenly felt guilty. I stood up and wrapped my arms around her.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." I apologized. Lauren just shook her head and laughed. God, I love her laugh.
"No, stupid. I'm crying because I'm happy. Of course I'll be your girlfriend." She giggled.
"Wait, really?" I thought I was imagining things.
"Really, dork."
And then she kissed me. Oh my god, Lauren Jauregui was kissing me. It was the most passionate and intense kiss I'd ever had and I loved it.
We pulled away and I grabbed her hand, intertwining our fingers. I dragged her over towards her friends and my teammates. They all congratulated us but inside I was still freaking out because I was so happy.
"Oh my god, Lauren Jauregui is my girlfriend." I blurted out and instantly I felt my cheeks go red.
"That I am." She replied as she kissed my cheek. I turned my head towards her and smiled. I heard everybody 'aww'ing but I couldn't focus because I was staring at the love of my life.
