What are we?
Are you my boyfriend?
Even if I love your roommate?
But who is the roommate and who is the boyfriend?
Joe or Caspar?

#187 Zoella
"Uhh...Joe, I think you know my name by now. Are you okay? Did you get sick?" I pressed the back of my hand on his forehead to check for a temperature, comparing it to my own forehead.
He put a finger to my lip and hushed "Just go with it." He finished with a devilish wink and removed his finger. He didn't need too much to convince me, he was just a persuasive guy, of course me being totally in love with him did help.
"..Uhh, well my name's {your name}."
"Well that's a cute name, but now that I think about it, nothing can compare to how pretty you are. Say, how about I buy you a drink? You seem like a cranberry juice kinda girl."
I laughed, the memories were coming back now. The night me and Joe met in this club. I was nervous and Zoe had left me alone. I refused to drink, and wind up spending one drunken night with a stranger, so I just sipped on a cranberry juice instead.
"Sure, if you get me a drink I may be convinced to go home with you tonight."
He pulled a tall glass of cranberry juice from behind his back, as if by magic.
"Well isn't that handy. Seems like you have this all planned out."
"I do have a plan indeed. It just depends on how you respond."
"Respond?" Suddenly I noticed a glint in my glass. Something shiny was in there. "Baby, did you drop something in my drink?" I pulled it out "A ring. There's a ring inside my drink." I spoke calmly, trying to process.
After reading the writing on the inside I looked up at Joe and asked. "Did you mean to put this in here? This tiffany's engagement ring?"

"Of course I meant to. Do you like it?"
"Like it? I LOVE IT! IT'S BEAUTIFUL! But are you sure what you're doing? You know you're proposing right?"
"Well no, I'm not proposing yet." He took the ring from my hands and got down on one knee. "{Your full name} I love you with all my heart. There's no one else that can compare, and there's no one else I'd rather spend my life with. So will you do me the honor of becoming my life partner, my wife? Will you marry me?"
"Me? You wanna marry me?" I asked with a high pitched voice of surprise.
"Well I don't know any other {your full name} in here. Yes you silly, girlfriend."
"Really? Is this happening to me?"
"JUST SAY YES" a feminine voice shouted from the side. Sounded oddly Zoe like.
"I mean yes! Of course I'll marry you!" Nothing could suppress the smiles that my 'yes' brought to our faces. Joe took my hand and placed the ring on my finger.
"Really me? You wanna marry me?" He asked mimicking my earlier voice. Then he embraced me.
I playfully hit him. "You're such a meanie. I love you though." I kissed him softly.
He kissed me back "I love you too."
Zoe and Alfie snuck up behind us and wrapped us into one big group hug. We all congratulated each other. What a celebratory day.
Later that night we went back to our apartment to celebrate. Except this time we did things my style. We had a sit down movie double date. We all sunk into the sofa. I rested my head on Joe's arm, while Joe gently ran his fingers through my hair.
I giggled "I love you."
I stared, admiring the face of my newly made fiancé. After a bit Joe turned round and
"What is it?" He whispered not wanting to disturb Alfie's and Zoe's make out session.
"I'm just thinking about how lucky I am." I answered in an equally hushed tone.
He smiled lovingly at me "I think I'm the lucky one. After everything that I did to you still gave me that final chance. All I did was take that chance, I'm gonna use it by never letting you go again. That ring there is my proof."
I looked down at my ring. It
"I just can't believe a year ago you were my boyfriend's roommate. Now you're my fiancé."
"You're my forever." He replied
"You're my eternity."
He grinned staring back at me "You always have to try best me don't you."
"Try?" I flashed a smug smirk.
He laughed and ruffled my hair in revenge, then we turned back to the movie, comfortably in each other's arms. Now and forever.
