Manu Rios Imagines & Preferences

4. New year proposal

Manu's pov

Today, me and my best friend, y/n, are going to Time Square for New Years.
We came to New York fashion week and decided to stay for New Years.
I've been had feelings for y/n for God knows how long but I've been in love with her for a good year now and I want to tell her tonight at Time Square.
Right now, me and y/n are on our way to this fancy restaurant she picked out.
I'm super nervous for her reaction.
What if she doesn't like me back?
What if I will ruin our friendship?
What if she has feelings for somebody else?
I immediately started thinking of the worst case senarios.
My hands were sweaty and clammy so I rubbed my hands on my jeans.

y/n pov

Manu has been acting weird all evening.
He hasn't said a word to me since we left the hotel and it's like he's nervous?
I don't know what's up with him.
Is he hiding something from me?
I decide to ask him.
"Manu, are you okay?", I ask.
"Me?"
You chuckle."Yeah, Manu. I'm pretty sure you are the only one I know on these streets."
"Haha, uhm yeah I'm okay. Why'd you ask?"
"You seem really nervous and tense."
"It's nothing."
"You know you can tell me anything, right? And with anything I mean ANYTHING."
"I know..."
"Then what's up?" You turn to him and look into his eyes.
He looks down.
"Y/n it's nothing. Okay?"
"Whatever...." you sigh.
After walking in silence for another 5 minutes, you finally arrive at the restaurant.
You enter the restaurant.
"Hi, uhm table for 2, please." Manu says still tense as fuck.
I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
You get seated and and you immediately check the menu just to avoid having to look at his face.
You've been here twice before and you always order the same thing.
"y/n, are you mad at me?" You hear him whisper softly.
"No, it's just that...." you sigh.
"It's just that I thought you trusted me...."you say from behind your menu.
"Y/n I do trust you." Manu says really upset.
"Let's just forget about it, yeah?" You say putting you menu down smiling slightly.
"Okay." He says.

After Dinner

By the time we finished it was 11:45 pm.
We basically had to run if we wanted to make it in time.
We got there at 11:55pm.
Manu turns to me still really nervous.
"Y/n?"
"Yes?"
"I want to tell you why I've been so distant lately and especially tonight."
"Manu, it's okay. You don't have to tell me."
"I know, but as I said, I WANT to." He emphasizes.
"Well okay." You giggle.
"Okay, where do I start?"
"Manu, you have 3 minutes." You point out chuckling.
"Okay, uhm y/n I've had feelings for you ever since I've met you and the last year I knew it for sure that I was in love with you. You always succeed in making me happy and smile."he says.
And you are telling me this now?" You say.
"What do you mean?" He says totally dumb struck
I've been in love with you ever since 6th grade" you say.
"What?" Manu says with big eyes.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

You kiss him like your life depended on it.
He pulls away for air and you look at each other with big smiles on your faces.
"Happy new year." You whisper.
He pecks your lips.
"Happy New year." Manu whispers back.

AN

This sucked ass but hey, I updated.
I was in the middle of writing this story and at once my iPad shut down for no reason and it only saved half of the story so if the "after dinner" part sucked, I'm sorry I was just really frustrated.
I hope you liked it anyways.
Thank you for all the reads.
I hope you all had a happy New Year.
I love you all,
