Ava's POV

"Rise and shine my most amazing best friend in the entire world!" Daisy screamed, jumping up and down on my bed as I groaned.

"Daisy." I whined, pulling the covers over my head.

It's to early to deal with her. I'm tired. And my body aches. And I'm hungry.

"But you gotta get up! It's the weekend and we are gonna have fun!" Daisy keeps jumping and I slammed the covers off me, glaring at the grinning girl on my bed.

"I'm tired."

She stops jumping. "Too bad."

I groan again and she laughs, flopping down beside me. She pulls me into a hug and I hug her back, leaning my head on her shoulder.

Sighing, I shut my eyes. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." She says.

"I thought I was never gonna see you guys again. I thought I was gonna die." I choke out.

Daisy hugs me tighter. "I thought the same. But I held hope for you. We all held hope for you. And I know you, Ava. You'd never go down without a hell of a fight."

I chuckle, lonesome tears running down my cheeks. "That is true."

"You know I love you right?" Daisy asks me and I nod.

"I love you too." I whisper back.

"Girls, is there something you're not telling me?" My dad suddenly speaks up from my bedroom doorway.

The both of us burst out laughing as my dad stares at us with a confused state. "What'd I say?" He asks and we laugh harder.

"Dad, we're not...omg we're straight dad." I gasp.

Daisy sits up, catching her breath. "No offense Ava but I'd rather date a guy over you." She cheekily grins at me.

"Well so would I." I retort.

She smirks. "I know you would. Speaking of which, you and Chris were very-"

"I'll leave the girl talk to you two. Bye!" My dad suddenly leaves.

Daisy and I look at each other amused.

"Now that your dad is gone, do tell about the scandalous life of Mrs. Sterling." Daisy smirks again.

I glare at her, hitting her with my pillow. "Shut up!"

She grabs my pillow, throwing it away and getting in my face. "Ava! I wanna know." She drags the last word in a whiny voice.

I face palm. "I don't even know what we are. He said we'll talk today but I don't know when. All I know is yesterday, he said that he...loved me." I peek at her through my fingers.

Daisy is full on grinning like like a child high on candy. "Did you say it back?!"

I nod timidly. "Um, yeah?"

She squeals. "Omg Ava! You guys are soooo cute. Cuter than Dean and Jacob but don't tell them that!"

My face turns red as I laugh uncomfortably. "Must you embarrass me like that?"

She wiggles her eyebrows at me. "It's my job, sugar."

I groan, face planting onto my mattress. Damn you, Daisy.

"Chris. I can't see." I say, flailing my arms aimlessly out in front of me.

"That's because I'm trying to surprise you." His voice comes from right next to me.

I look on the direction where his voice came from, impatience written all over my face.

"I don't even like surprises." I deadpan.

He sighs irritatedly. "Ava. Must you be so difficult? At least let me try to be good boyfriend."

A smile lights up on my face. "Boyfriend huh? But you didn't even ask me out." I say cheekily.

I hear his palm slapping his face. "I really, really, really hate you right now."

"Shut up, you love me."

I feel Chris moving me forward, carefully guiding me through...well, wherever it is that we are. All I know is that the place smells like roses. Like a lot of roses. Like way too many roses. This dude must have an obsession with roses. God damn.

Chris removes the blindfold from my eyes and I adjust to the harsh lighting of the amazing outdoors. I was right. We were standing in the middle of a rose garden. Like there are hundreds of hundreds of roses surrounding me.

"This is place is absolutely..... breathtaking. Where did you find this place? It's gorgeous." I breathe out, my eyes wandering over the entirety of the rose paradise.

"Found it on one of my infamous strolls." He quips.

I inhale the scent of the roses, a smile breaking out on my face as the sweet scent of the flowers ease my mind. This... I needed this.

I turn to Chris who's watching me admire the place with a small smile etched in his face.

"What?"

He shakes his head. "Nothing. I'm just in awe by you."

A blush covers my cheeks. "Why? I mean...what?"

Chris comes to stand next to me in the little patch of red buds. "I mean I'm literally in awe by you. You look so beautiful standing there just mesmerized by these flowers. It's kind of hard to keep my eyes of you."

My eyes lock with his. "Wow. That's really...sweet of you, Chris."

"Also, you have nice butt so there's another reason why I can't stop staring at you." He smirks.

I hit his shoulder, letting out a gasp. "Oh my god, Chris! Way to ruin the moment!"

He rubs his shoulder, pouting at me. "It was getting a tad bit cliche. Besides, you didn't have to hit me woman."

And with that, came another yelp of pain from my boyfriend as I hit his head this time. We're really in love.
