I want to tell them, but I don't. I slip my ring in its case and slip it in my purse before I throw on a Glamour Kills hoodie over a white blouse and blue jeans. I pull my hair into a short pony tail, and let Zack kiss my cheek goodbye. "I'll see you later, baby." He pulls me close to him by grabbing my butt and pulling me on top of him, and kisses my jawline softly.

"Mm, love you." He says, and then moves for my lips.

I put my finger to his lips, and I pull back a little. "I just put on fresh lipstick, buddy." He pouts.

"You can always reapply it." He locks soft his lips onto mine as he rubs my side.

I purposely rub my crotch onto his as I get up.

"Just going to turn me on and leave me?" He chuckles. "That isn't fair."

"Bye, bye baby." I giggle and get into the car, reapplying my lipstick.

Lisa, Cass, and I are having a girls day. Getting our nails done, going shopping, and then we're going to meet the others for dinner.

Zack// I'll get you back for that.

I laugh at his text and pull out of the driveway, heading to a nail salon.

I park beside Lisas car, and I hop out of mine. She didn't see me come up to her door, so I decide to scare her by bending down beside her window, and placing my face close to it, making a piggy face and breathing heavily on it.

I hear her laugh, and I pull back as she gets out of the car. I hug her, having not seen her in almost two weeks.

"How is the new Mommy?" I ask her, sticking my tounge out.

"Exhausted!" She chuckles. "It's so worth it, though."

"I can't wait to have my baby." I tell her honestly.

"You're pregnant?" Cass asks, coming up to us

"No way!" I laugh. "But I do want a child one day,is all."

"Rian doesn't want one." She frowns. "I don't either,but sometimes I think about it."

"Yeah, I understand,  except I finally put my fit down. I wanted baby Alexs'." Lisa giggles.

"Zack and I have talked about it, but we aren't deciding anything."

"We should go inside." Cass says. "The Asian man has been holding the door for us for a few seconds."

We follow her inside, and I decide to get a mani and pedi, because I really want to look cute.

We sit at different stations, and I can't help but wonder about what the wedding will be like. But more than anything, I worry of if Alex will be okay with it.

I get a gel manicure, and I smile at my painted white and glittery toes.

"You're very pretty." The lady says. "You have boyfriend?"

"Yes ma'am." I grin.

"You marry?"

"One day." I smile widely.

We finish getting our nails done, and then we walk to the mall that was beside it.

"We should look at bridal dresses." I say, they look at me skeptically, "For fun."

"Oooh, okay." Cass replies, dragging us inside. "What would your color scheme be?"

"I really think a, well, I dunno, lets just look for fun." I chuckle. "I would want a spring wedding. Because it isn't too hot or cold."

"Honestly a black and white wedding seems cool," I start, "but then I wouldn't be the only one wearing white."

"How about yellows?" Lisa asks.

"I'm thinking dark purples, since you you don't really see those colors in the spring?" I respond.

"That would be gorgeous!" They beam.

I'm more than tempted to show them my ring, to tell them that I'm getting married, but I made a promise not to tell until tonight.

I hand them short dark purple dresses that reach the knees, and I shoo them to the dressing room. While they're changing into it, I decide to get long dresses with a slit down to the ankle from the left knee.

I take pictures of them in the dresses, and I smile as I think of how we will actually get these one day, if Zack likes the colors.

We meet the boys at a fancy resturaunt that I cannot even begin to pronounce or spell the name of, and I nervously sit beside Zack. He rubs my leg and compliments my nails.

I take my ring out of my purse, sliding it onto my finger under the table. Zack looks at me for confirmation half way through dinner, and I nod, he squeezes my hand, as he gets their attention.

"Hey guys?" He asks. "We have an announcement."

"Are you pregnant?" Jack asks me, worriedly.

"No way." I chuckle.

"We're engaged."
