An Arranged Marriage S.M

Chapter 12

"So what type of ring do you think she'd like?" I asked Kain, walking into the first jewellery shop.

"Umm something with a diamond?" He questioned, making me give me a look, silently asking him if he was joking, but he wasn't.

"Im pretty sure nearly all engagement and wedding rings have diamonds on them." I laughed.

We walked over to the glass counter where you could see loads of different rings, earrings and necklaces.

"How much are you spending on this ring?" I asked, trying to narrow down his choices so it'd be easier for him to pick.

"I don't know! How much do they even cost?" He asked, already frustrated.

"I wouldn't know I don't have one yet." I rolled my eyes and looked back down at the jewellery.

There were lots of really beautiful rings that I wouldn't mind having myself, but I was here to help Kain get a ring for Lia so I put those thoughts to the back of my mind for now.

"Ooh that one! She'd love that one." He exclaimed, pointing at a beautiful gold infinity ring.

"Well if you think she'd like it, it might just be the one." I smirked, elbowing him in the side lightly.

"It's the one. Definitely the one." He said, fully confident in his choice.

"Are you sure? Do you want to go into other shops?"

"Nope. This is it, I'm sure. Do you like it?" He asked.

"I think it looks perfect. She's going to absolutely love it." I smiled.

We walked over to one of the people working here and told them which ring we wanted. Kain gave the woman Lia's ring size and she came back a few minutes with the ring. She said that we were lucky because it would've taken a while to get one made in a different size. It worked out perfectly for him because he was going to propose in around two weeks and didn't want to have to delay it.

When we were finished in the jewellery shop we decided to get some food. We got a McDonald's which I actually hadn't had in a while since our parents were all about 'eating healthy'.

After we were finished we hopped in Kain's car to go back to Shawn and I's house which was about half an hour away from the shopping centre.

"So, are you nervous about proposing to her?" I asked, putting on my seatbelt just before Kain started the car.

"Is it bad to say not really? I mean we're already living together and I love her and she loves me so why not get married? She's been hinting at it for a while saying things like she wants to be married before she's thirty because she'd be 'too old' to look good while she's getting married." He laughed. "So I think she'll say yes." He smiled and paused for a moment. 

"But hey, enough about me. What about you and Shawn?" He smirked, turning his head to look at me, wriggling his eyebrows.

"What about us?"

"What do you think?" He asked me like I was stupid. "Have you two made any progress together?"

"Maybe." I answered, my cheeks turning red.

"Ooh tell me all the suss." He smiled, turning his head to look at me again.

"Umm we might have made out twice and he kissed me to help stop a panic attack." I blushed looking down at my lap thinking about Shawn.

"Awww." Kain smiled, hitting the edge of the steering wheel like a drum. "Do you think you could happily marry him?"

"I think so." I blushed even harder, looking at anything and everything but Kain. "But only if he stops pretending to be a cocky bastard."

"So who's getting married first? Me or you?" He joked.

"We'll see. I don't know." I laughed.

We pulled up into the driveway and I hopped out of the car along with Kain. He was going to leave the ring here just in case Lia found it and ruined the surprise. Shawn's jeep was in the driveway so I assumed he was in the house.

"Shawn?!" I shouted into the house. Kain was walking behind me so he closed the door for me.

"Yeah baby?!" He replied coming down the stairs.

My heart fluttered when he called me baby and when I looked up the stairs at him I was completely speechless. His hair was wet and messy and he was wearing basketball shorts with no shirt on.

I know I've seen him shirtless before and I've made out with him while he was shirtless, but the wet messy hair just added to it and made me weak at the knees.

"Do you have somewhere that I can keep the ring?" Kain asked Shawn.

He nodded and motioned for Kain to follow him. They walked up the stairs and I let out a breath that I didn't even realise I was holding. I walked into the kitchen to get a drink and some food.

After about ten minutes Shawn and Kain eventually came down the stairs.

"Bye Katie. I'll see you soon." Kain waved, walking past the kitchen door.

"Bye!" I shouted back so he could hear me.

When I was finished eating I went upstairs to get into my Pyjamas since I wasn't going to go anywhere else today. I heard the bedroom door open and looked over to see Shawn coming into the room.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hi." I replied.

I quickly pulled my pyjama shorts up my legs so I wasn't standing in my underwear. I closed my wardrobe door and sat down on the bed.

Shawn walked in front of me and picked me up bridal style. I didn't know why he picked me up but he sat down on the bed, his back against the headboard. He gently moved me around so I was straddling him and I tilted my head to the side slightly, showing him that I was confused about what he was doing.

"So." He started. "Your brother tells me that you think you could happily marry me." He smirked, circling his thumbs on the outside of both my thighs. I placed my head on his shoulder, hiding my embarrassment from him.

"Only if you stop pretending to be a cocky bastard." I laughed.

He trailed the tips of his fingers along my spine, making tingles shoot through me. I shivered in his lap and he wrapped his arms tightly around me.

"You can blame Brian for that." He chuckled.

I lifted my head from his shoulder and looked at him. He was looking back at me and gave me a smile. After a while I got tired of sitting up so I put my head back on Shawn's shoulder and he continued trailing his fingers up and down my spine for a while longer.

"Katie?"

"Hmm?" I answered, sitting up again to look at him again.

"I love you."

Why am I so happy that Shawn finally said 'I love you' even though I'm the one that controls when he says it?!😂
