The Proposal

(A/N- hey guys, here's the new update... sad that Lucy died in the last chapter... :(, anyway hope you all like this update... I don't know how much more I am going to do in this story... it's kind of turning into a short story. Maybe around 5 more updates and then I might be done with this book.   Not entirely sure yet. Love you all and keep reading )

--------------------------------------------------year and half later----------------------------------------------------------------

It has been over a year since Lucy passed, there's not a day where James and I go without thinking of her. Even though I only lived with her for less than a year I still will cherish the memories that I have with her. She took me in and gave me a home; no one else would have ever done that. I can only imagine her up there talking to my grandmother about everything we shared with each other and telling her how much I have grown. The funeral turned out the way she would have wanted it to be, everyone showed up to give their condolences and say what they wanted. It was mostly a bunch of her friends and their families that knew her and of course Carter, me and James. Adrien showed up to be polite since he had once known her while dating me.

 That reminds me; Carter and I are still together... Almost two years already, him and Adrien became friends again and me and him are on good terms just remaining in the friend zone. James has been very giddy lately while Carter is around so my suspicions are up; im watching them to like hawks when I can.  It's like they have some sort of secret that one would kill the other if they told me it. Every time they talk it's always a whisper and they look at me thinking I wouldn't notice but I do.

I'm currently lying on my bed watching TV and texting with Carter. He's trying to convince me to go to this really fancy place with him and I won't have it. He says that I have to go. Psh like ever. I'm really glad he was around when Lucy passed otherwise I may have lost my mind- James may have to. He was a big help to us in arranging things and packing up most of Lucy's things and putting them away for safe keeping.  I'm going to hurt this boy... he's still trying to convince me to go out with him to this place... it's the most expensive place he has taken me yet and I am not letting him do this or try to not let him anyway.

He has been going at this for 2 hours back and forth. That's it im going to ask James what I should do. I walked out of my room and to the kitchen since I knew that's where he would be. "James!" I yelled louder than nessacary. "Yes?!" he yelled back mockingly. "Should I let Carter take me to this really fancy restraunt?" I asked.  He stood there for a minute thinking about it. "Hmm, I say yes and that you will regret it if you don't." he told me. Now my suspicions were up even higher. I'll regret it if I don't go which means I have to go, which also means that I have to tell Carter that he has won this battle and figure out when he wants to go. Speaking of the devil he's calling me.

"Hello Mr. annoying." I smirked into the phone

"Well hello to you to princess." He said and I could hear the mock tone in his voice.

He did not just call me princess!! No one dares to call me that or I'll rip them apart like paper.

"Carter, don't call me that; you know what I'll do to you." I said

"Well until you say that you will let me take you to this place, im going to keep calling you that."

Lord he is trying to get under my skin today, he's being really pushy but im going to go just cause of what James said earlier.

"Carter, I'll go with you."

"YOU WILL?!" he yelled into the phone

"Yes, when are we doing this?" I asked

"Tomorrow night, I'll pick you up at 7pm sharp so be ready and dress nice." He said

I knew he was serious because of the tone of his voice.
