LAUREN'S POV

Our second home game ended beautifully. Not only did we destroy our rivals, but we also did it in record breaking time. Our team this year is so in sync and I'm actually really happy that we're so undefeated right now. What made this night even better was the fact that Ally was up in the stands supporting us.

Now, Ally and I aren't anything official but I hope to change that by tonight.

I think it's about time that her and I make something official. We've become so comfortable with each other. We constantly kiss, sometimes Ally gives me my sore muscles massages after long and painful practices, not to mention I've become Ally's official study buddy for her big finals to qualify as a veterinarian. And speaking of her passions, I've also learned that besides being a animal lover, Ally is also a avid baker. So, lately I've constantly bugged her to make me some cookies or brownies, but she keeps telling me to be patient because her creations are worth the wait, and I believe it.

I left the locker room after showering and getting into a nice outfit to see Ally leaning against a wall patiently wait for me like I asked her to.

"Hey, Alls." I said, kissing her cheek. "So, are you ready to go?"

What she doesn't know is that I have a huge date planned for tonight. I went all out in an attempt to ask her out, and I'm sure it'll work. I mean, c'mon, I'm Lauren Jauregui. The only problem is that I'm seriously nervous because I've never really asked anyone to be mine, ever. So, this has to be a very special occasion that way I can assure myself that Ally won't say no.

"What? Who said we were going anywhere besides the dorms?" Ally protested as I pulled her out to the parking lot towards her car. It was obvious she was starting to become nervous, which meant she would continue to ask questions as I opened the door for her. "Lauren, you know I have a huge test on Monday. I really need to study."

I pointed for Ally to get inside of the car, "Just trust me, Allykitten. You'll be happy you went out tonight." Ally huffed and decided that she wasn't going to get her way this time. So, she pulled her backpack off of her back and got into the car to let me close the door behind her. I hurried over to the drivers side to get on and turn on the engine. I smirked over at her and wriggled my eyebrows making her giggle at me. "How about some tunes as we go on this adventure?" Ally nodded and I turned on the radio to let my '25 by Adele' CD start to play, and I changed the tracks to find my favorite song, 'When We Were Young, which was actually Ally's, too. In my mind, I thought of it as 'our' song, but I wouldn't admit that.

As I began driving towards 'The Edge of the World', Ally and I began harmonizing. "Everybody loves the things you do. From the way you talk to the way you move. Everybody here is watching you. 'Cause you feel like home. You're like a dream come true."

I let Ally take the solo until the chorus came up, and I had to join it because it was such a good part. "Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time that we might be exactly like we were before we realized. We were sad of getting old. It made us restless. It was just like a movie. It was just like a song."

A couple of Adele songs later, we made it to the familiar restaurant that I took her on our first date. I walked over to open her door and let her out, then grabbed her hand. She interlocked her fingers with mine and allowed me to drag her in, "Lauren, seriously. I don't have any time for dinner. I really need to study."

"Let's live a little, babe. You've been doing nothing except studying all week. And I promise that if you make it through this dinner without complaining about school, you'll enjoy your surprise so much more."

"Surprise for what?" She asked in a confused tone as we walked into the building.

I smirked, "You'll see later, but for now, lets eat."

The usual host, Jaxon, directed us to my table right in front of the view. After pushing Ally's seat in, I took mine and Jaxon gave us our menus. He was practically gushing because he knew all about my surprise and you could tell he was almost about to erupt in happiness for us. "So, what can I get to drink for the happy couple?" Ally was about to speak up and correct him, but he bursted out in another happy exclamation. "Oh, Gordon is gonna be so happy that little miss Jauregui is still eating with the same girl."

"Um, Jaxon." I interrupted him, "Just get us two waters."

"Of course!" He peppily told me. "I'll be right back with my favorite cuties drinks."

He hurried away with his pad and pen in hand, and Ally gave me this strange glare. "Has Jaxon always been so..." She thought for a second. "Well, I guess there's no one word to describe it. He just jumps to conclusions, doesn't he?"

"Yes," I laughed, "But that's why I keep coming back. Their assumptions are always so innocent. It's been like that ever since I first started coming here."

"I see." Ally laughed, "Well, it'll take me a bit of time to get used to it."

After dinner, I promised Ally I would take her to the surprise. So, I brought along my green bandanna to tie around her eyes to blindfold her. Basically the surprise is that I asked Jaxon to set up the words 'Will you be my girlfriend?' in rocks at the edge of the first cliff that has the best view.

"How am I gonna walk on this terrain blindfolded?" Ally complained, trying to adjust the fabric on her face. "I'm gonna bust my face open, Laur."

"No you wont." I kneeled in front of her and ordered her, "Jump."

"What?" She asked me as if I was crazy and asking her to jump off of the edge of the Grand Canyon.

I grabbed her arms and wrapped them around my neck from behind and gave her more detailed instructions, "Jump on my back."

She sighed out and responded in an aggravated voice, "If I end up falling to my death, Lauren, I will haunt you." She warned me as she jumped onto my back and wrapped her short yet toned legs around my torso tightly. It took about ten minutes to get to the cliff and Ally was growing impatient with each second which on encouraged me to keep fucking with her as we went on this journey. "Literally, I've been back here forever, Lo. Are you sure we aren't lost?"

"We probably are lost." I laughed.

Ally slapped my shoulder, "Don't say that." She grew quiet for a few minutes until her curiosity struck up again. "Ok, Lauren. I'm actually scared now. Where are you taking me?"

Luckily, we had finally made it to the cliff and it looked even more perfect than I imagined. The thick stones were evenly placed so that the words would be very easy to read. Not to mention the fact that the sun was setting just at the right time which made the mountains around this landscape start to sing a beautiful song. It was even more beautiful than I thought it could be.

I laughed and sat Ally down on her feet carefully, "Quit worrying, Allycat. We're here."

Ally's perfect smile was basically the only visible thing on her face. She reached up to the blindfold and asked, "Can I take this off of my eyes now?"

That's when I got a good idea. "One second." I hurried over to stand beside the words. "Okay, now you can."

Ally yanked the green fabric off of her head and once she saw what the words said, her mouth dropped and she hurried to shoot her hand up over her gaping mouth. She was so amazed and you could tell it was a very emotional moment for her as her eyes started to brim with tears.

"So, what do you say, Allysus? You wanna be mine?" I tried to keep my confidence just in case I got this whole relationship thing wrong already.

Ally nodded, still holding her mouth because she was at a loss for words. She walked towards me to wrap her arms around my neck, and I laid my hands on her hips as she tried to contain herself by nuzzling her face in the crook of my neck. I kissed her temple as a way to signal Ally to look at me. Her face was a good two inches away from mine and I decided now would be the best time to tease her. "So, since you're my girlfriend, expect even more pet names."

Ally sniffled and slightly chuckled, "I didn't even think that would be possible."

I puckered my lips and let her lean in to give me the first kiss to commence our relationship.
