"Is everything ready?" Maddie asked me.
"Umm... I think so." I responded as I finished up the snacks.
It was 8:45, and we had 15 minutes until our movie night started. Maddie an I were in charge of snacks, the boys were in charge of the seating arrangements. We all agreed that Zoie would be in charge of the order in which the movies were played.
We had a two giant trays of all the snacks and drinks we had bought earlier. Maddie grabbed one, and I grabbed the other. We looked back to make sure we didn't forget anything, and we went into the living room, not expecting what we saw.
The lights in the room were off, and there were white Christmas lights scattered around the room. There were blankets and pillows spread out on the floor, and the TV was on with the first movie ready to start.
The boys were standing to the side and giving us looks that were asking what we thought of it.
"I- I don't know what to say." Maddie said looking straight at Ash.
"Something good about it would be nice!" Louis noted.
"Yes Louis, it looks great!" I told him.
"Yes, it really does!" Maddie agreed.
"Well good! That's what I- WE were going for." Brayden said.
"What are you guys hiding?" I said bluntly.
"Nothing!" Brayden said
"Why would you ask that?" Harry asked.
"What are you hiding?" Louis asked while pointing his finger at me.
"Mhmm..." I said while walking back into the kitchen.
Zoie and Maddie were standing there talking about something and laughing.
"What's going on in here?" I asked while taking a sip of my Dr. Pepper.
"We were talking about why we think the guys are acting weird." Maddie said.
"So?" I asked.
"We have absolutely no idea." Zoie said.
"Oh well, I guess its time to go in there." I said.
"Yup."
"Guess so."
We all stood up and walked back into the living room, and Zoie looked around at everything in awe.
"Wow! Its so... Perfect." Zoie said.
"Glad you like it love!" Liam said.
We all sat down and got comfortable in the blankets and pillows that the boys had lied out. I was laying down, snuggled up in a blanket with a pillow beside me. Harry came over, lied down beside me, and put his arm around me.
Maddie was curled up in a ball with her head snuggled into Ashton's chest. I was almost positive she was asleep.
Zoie was sitting beside Brayden, and she looked really awkward.
We all decided to have a Disney marathon, and the first movie was The Lion King. Let's just say, I wasn't the only person to get emotional, and a few of the guys could say the same. Not naming names, *cough Mikey, Harry, Louis, and Ash cough*
Liam, Niall, Calum, and Zoie had fallen asleep after the second movie. I could feel myself dozing off when suddenly the lights came on. I opened my eyes, as did everyone who was asleep, to see Brayden standing up.
Brayden looked down at Zoie who was glaring at him for waking her up.
He went into the kitchen, grabbed a giant bottle of Dr. Pepper, a huge box of Cheezits, and a box of pizza.
He came back and got down on one knee and looked at Zoie. Her eyes got really wide, and she gave me a look begging for answers. I just shrugged my shoulders and watched the whole thing play out.
"Zoie, I know how cheesy this is, no pun intended, but oh well. Zoie, I like you. A lot. I've liked you since the day I first met you, but I had no idea if you felt the same way or not. One second you were acting like you liked me too, but the next, you were acting as if you didn't want anything to do with me. I always got so confused, so I tried to figure you out. It wasn't easy to do, and I still haven't completely been able to. However, at this point, I think you like me too. I think you are the most perfect girl there is, and will ever be. I like you and all of your flaws. I like the way you scrunch your nose to get your glasses up instead of using your hands because you're too lazy. I like the way that you can usually beat me in a food eating contest. I like the way that you hair gets frizzy when you step outside and it frames your face. I like how you can never get your hair to do what you want it to. I like how you get so frustrated when you do something wrong. I like that you would do absolutely anything for your friends. I like the way you dress. I like that when you're excited, you talk super fast, or at least faster than normal. I like how I feel I can talk to you about anything. I like you. I know we haven't officially been on a date or anything like that, but I want to ask this anyway." He handed the food to her. "Zoie, will you do me the greatest honor in the world and be my girlfriend?" He pulled out a ring pop and held it out like a real wedding ring.
Zoie paused for a moment, and she would never admit it, but I think I saw her holding back tears.
"Yes." She whispered hoarsly. "Heck yes!"
She jumped up and gave him a huge hug.
"I was so scared you were gonna say no!" He said to her.
She laughed, and that made him smile. He leaned down, and he carefully placed a kiss on her lips. Her cheeks immediately got red, and she looked down at the ground.
"Love, what's wrong?" Harry asked me, wiping a tear from my face.
"Nothing! I'm so happy for her. I also had no idea that I was crying to be honest" I said while laughing.
We all settled down after telling them congratulations, and we put on Frozen, everybody singing along to every song. By the end of the night, everybody was happy and laughing. It felt great that, for once, everybody in the house was happy, and to top it off, my best friends both had boyfriends. They didn't need them, but they made their lives better, and I was happy they had that. As a matter of fact, I have that too.
