My Mate

Chapter 24: Sneaky

~Chapter 24~

Monica's P.O.V

The guys were hanging out in the living room on the couch watching football. I was tired and it was late so I went up to Scott's room and fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning in Scott's arms. I wondered when David had left yesterday, I got up and went downstairs and found David on the couch sleeping. "Ohh so he didn't leave," I thought. I went to the kitchen because for some strange reason I was craving peanut butter, and yogurt. I opened the refrigerator door and took out the peanut butter and yogurt, I took out some noodles, tomato sauce, and meet, I was going to make spaghetti. I had the spoon in my mouth, alternating the peanut butter and the yogurt. After I finished cooking the spaghetti, I put the it on a plate and sat down at the table. With a fork I twisted the noodles around it and shoved it in my mouth, it was good, but then I had a disgusting taste. I suddenly had the urge to throw up. I bolted into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet. I opened the cabinets looking for something to help my stomach. I passed a mirror and noticed something different. I took steps back and faced the mirror. I lifted up my shirt enough to see my stomach and turned to the side. My stomach was bigger than usual. I heard Scott and Jazmine come in and ask what was wrong. I guess they heard my thoughts.

Jazmine: "Monica, what's wrong?"

Monica: "I think that I'm pregnant."

I woke up terrified and in shock. Of course I was in Scott's arms, but I woke him up, I guess he felt me sit up. If it was a dream then why did it feel so real at the same time. I hoped that it was just a nightmare and that it actually didn't come true.

Scott: "Babe, what's wrong?"

I was quiet, I never said a word. I was still terrified and frozen from shock. He shook me.

Scot: "Babe! Can you hear me what's wrong!!"

I turned to face him and he was relaxing a little bit.

Scot: "What happened? Are you ok?"

Monica: "Well-"

Scott's phone rang before I could say anything else.

Scott's P.O.V

~Phone Conversation~


Scott: "Hello? Who is this?"

Fatima: "Scott it's me Fatima. When are you gunna ask her?"

Scott: "What are you talking about?"

Fatima: "When are you gunna propose to Monica!?"

Scott: "You saw, didn't you?"

Fatima: "Yupp. You better do it somewhere this day cuz if you don't, I saw what would happen. David will separate you two, separate as in like you and Monica will be over, not a couple anymore."

I tensed up, I didn't want to lose Monica. So I decided that I had to go to get a ring and plan everything. I figured that I would need help from Jazmine, Kayla, and Ali since they knew almost everything about her.

Scott: "I will do it today don't worry. I can't lose her, not ever."

Fatima: "Just making sure. I don't want you to make a stupid mistake and let her go."

Scott: "Never."

Fatima: "Ok well by, but you better get ready and get that ring like now!"

Scott: "Don't worry I will bye."

~End of Conversation~

Monica's P.O.V

The conversation ended. I was about to ask what he was talking about, then he kissed me and sighed. I had a worried look on my face. I knew that something was wrong.

Monica: "What's wrong?"

Scott: "I need to do a couple of things today. I'm not gunna see you till later."

Monica: "What do you mean?"

Scott: "I'm gunna be gone, but I'll be back soon ok."

I was confused what was so important that he was gunna be gone and for who know ls how long. He kissed my forehead and got dressed. He left the room without another word.

Scott's P.O.V

I left the room and didn't say anything else. I kept singing songs in my head so that she won't know what I was planning. I headed up to Jazmine's and Stiles' room, but they weren't there. I headed downstairs and found everybody there except for Monica.

Scott: "Jazmine, Kayla, Ali, can I talk to you for a minute?"

They walked up to me with confused faces.

Scott: "I need you to sing a song in your head so that Monica won't read your mind and know what were talking about."

They all nodded and sang different songs. Ali sang I'm Yours by Jason Mraz, Jazmine sang well I didn't know what song she was singing, and Kayla wasn't even singing at all, all she was thinking was lalalalalalalalalalalalala it was pretty funny.

Scott: "Ok you guys know everything about Monica so I need you to tell me where I should take Monica to eat? What's her favorite restaurant?"

Ali: "Her favorite restaurant is well she really doesn't have one. Why do you ask.

I took a deep breath.

Scott: "I'm going to need you help me in choosing out a ring for her."

They all gasped and cheered and jumped with joy.

The girls: "Awwwwww your going to propose to her today!"

Scott: "Yes, but there's a problem, I need you guys to get her ready, but I also need you guys to tell me which ring she would like."

Jazmine: "How bout we stay and get her ready while you look at the rings. Take a picture of all the rings and send them to ummm I don't know Ali and make her ask which one she would like."

Scott: "Wouldn't she get suspicious?"

Ali: "No I'll say "hey I went to look at rings one day and I want to know which one you like the best." And if she asks why I'll say that I'm thinking of getting matching ones for all the girls."

Scott: "You guys are so smart."

The girls: "Duh, now go hurry and well get her ready, but when are you gunna take her?"

Scott: "Tonight at 7:45 so you guys have a bunch of time."

Kayla: "What about you? You need a tux. A fancy one cuz your not going over there in a t-shirt and shorts."

Scott: "First I need to worry about the ring and then the tux."

Ali: "We'll spend time with her till then. She probably feels lonely right now."

I ran to Monica's room and got one if her rings since I didn't know the size of her finger. I got to my car and drove to the place. I took out my phone and took pictures of the rings and sent them to Ali. I wondered what they were doing at the house.

Ali's P.O.V

After Scott left Jazmine, Kayla, and I went with Monica. She seemed sad, but after what he has planned for her tonight she'll forgive him instantly. I just hope that she will let us get her ready without any suspicions. We were talking and I finally got the pictures from Scott, it was barley 12:00 so I wondered what he would do for the other 7 hours and 45 minutes.

Ali: "Hey, Monica? I went to a special place that sold beautiful rings a day this week and I wonder which one you like the best. I might just might get a matching ring for all five of us."

Monica: "Five?"

Ali: "Maria."

Monica: "Right."

She had my phone in her hand zooming in and looked all around.

Monica: "That one."

She smiled at me and gave me my phone back. The one she wanted was beautiful. It was a gold ring and it had letters spelling out I love you. The ring was perfect. I screenshot the zoomed in picture and sent it back to Scott. I was thinking that we should get her ready at like 5:00. Scott texted me back and said: "get her ready now because the drive from where I'm at to the house is pretty far it's gunna take like almost 5 hours." I shot up like a bullet and ran to Monica's room and to her closet. I figured that I would pick the dress since I have a passion for fashion. Jazmine would do her hair and Kayla would do her makeup. They all followed behind me I looked at them with a smile on my face.

Ali: "Lets play dress up."

Monica: "Aren't we a little old for that now."

Ali: "Stop being silly this is like being in a costume shop, looking for the right costume."

I nodded at Jazmine and Kayla.

Jazmine: "Yea Monica. It'll be fun, you go first. I'll do your hair, Ali will pick the dress, and Kayla will do your makeup."

We sat her down in her mirror Jazmine as starting to curl her hair and Kayla did her makeup. I saw a dress and I knew that this one was perfect. It was a baby blue dress, it was long in the back and shorter in the front. I got her blue heels and her blue bow and shoved at her.

Ali: "Here when they're done go change into this and put these on."

I gave the bow to Jazmine, she was amazing at doing people's hair. And Kayla was awesome at doing makeup. Monica got up after Kayla and Jazmine finished putting on the finishing touches. She went on the bathroom and got dressed, she walked out the door and we were speechless she looked so beautiful. Scott better take good care of her. We heard Scott's car pull up in the driveway.

Monica: "Ok so how do I look?"

She smiled and posed for us as if we were actually playing dress up if as if she was a model posing for pictures. We all laughed, but she stopped and looked at us.

Monica: "Now what about you guys?"

We all grabbed her and lead her downstairs, Scott was already at the bottom of them knowing that she would fall at the last 2 steps. She was actually falling a lot, she hasn't changed a bit she's still her pretty clumsy self.

Monica's P.O.V

I looked at them as they led me down the stairs. What the hell where they doing. I looked and saw Scott wearing a tuxedo and bow-tie he looked handsome. That's when I knew that we where going out somewhere, like on a date. Now I know why Scott had left for almost the entire day, but I mean it doesn't take that long to get a tux, but whatever. I walked and tripped down the last 2 stairs, I had been falling a lot since I was little. I was well still am a clumsy person. I closed my eyes getting ready to hit the floor with a loud crash, but instead I fell right into Scott's arms. He kissed my forehead and whispered in my ear:

Scott: "Your so clumsy, but yet so beautiful."

I smiled and whispered back:

Monica: "I didn't fall. You caught me."

Scott: "Of course I did, I would never let you fall. I will always catch you."

I smiled and relaxed as he carried me to the car, I wonder where he was taking me.
