The Next Chapter

17. Classic

Warren

I waited for everyone to show up. I rubbed my hands together. I honestly don't know if I'm scared or nervous to tell them about the engagement.

But then again, I don't know anything.

The first person to show was Ashleigh. She changed drastically after graduation. She used to be all punk-rock and stuff but now? She's classy as fuck as she walked in wearing a beige dress with a black half blazer and stilettos. She still has her classic side shave head but this time it was just jet black and had no 'fun' highlights anymore.

"Hey! Hot-mess," She coos as I stood up hugging her. She also smelt different now, no more axe.

"Thanks?" I winked at her and smirk pulled upon on her face.

Bryan joined us in the booth in a few minutes after ordering a sandwich considering we haven't eaten anything all day. Except each other's faces, but let's not get into to that.

So each of them started to arrive, soon enough. Ashton also brought some chick whom he introduced as his "girlfriend" but hell knows Ashton is more of the one-night-stand type of guy. The last to arrive was Lilly and I met her daughter for the first time. Wow, she was fucking beautiful. Her name was Holly and she had her red hair in two poms on the crown of her head and she had bright blue eyes like Ian. She was gorgeous, like pretty fucking gorgeous. It was really no surprise however considering Lilly was stunning and James was too himself.

I could see Lilly eyeing the rings on Bryan and I's hand and I have a feeling she already got a hint. But then again, Lilly jumps into awkward conclusions. Lilly pulled Holly up on her lap and her laugh was so fucking cute! Lilly was really exalted with Holly, makes me want to adopt as soon as possible.

"Alright guys so the reason why I got you guys here is," I took a deep breath in.

"We're getting married," Bryan announces casually.

What the hell? How does he do that? They were all just stunned as their jaws dropped the ground. I was hoping someone would say something as the silence was deafening.

Holly, I love you so fucking much and I promise to buy you Barbie dolls. Thank you for laughing and filling the silence.

"Win!" Ashton yells and a couple people in the cafe stared at us.

"Holy shit you guys, congratulations! But please, please, please, don't tell me y'all are just getting married because USA is officially 50 states of gay?" Ashleigh babbles.

"No you idiot! I'm marrying Bryan because I wanna be with him for the rest of my life. And I have a feelings legalizing it is the best thing we both could do." I replied.

It didn't take long until mine and Bryan's mom started getting emotional. Now it was just uncomfortable.

"My boy's growing up!" Kriss (Bryan's mom) cries.

"Oh please mom, that's only legally. I bet you he'll be jumping in a ball pit for their honeymoon," Ashton smirks.

"Shut the fuck up!" Kriss slaps Ashton lightly.

"I'm so happy for you Warren. You've gotten so far and momma's proud." She tells me holding my hand.

"Okay! I'm hungry. C'mon Warren, it's your engagement. You should treat us." Lilly gives me the puppy dog eyes.

"But it's my engagement. People are meant to be giving me presents and shit," I mumbled.

"You poo! You're lucky I'm broke because if I wasn't, I would be slapping your face with a hundred dollar bills." She snaps at me.

"Okay, okay. I'm paying." We all looked up to see James with his hands in his pocket and a smirk glued on his face.

Classic James.
