24

Everyone was talking, Matthew and I kept making eye contact and smiling. We held hands the whole time. Matthew finally stood up and cleared his throat.

"Um hey guys I'd to make an announcement." Matthew said. He then took my hand and tried to help me up. I just looked up at him nervously.

"Are you sure we should do it now?" I asked nervously. My heart was pounding, my palms were sweating and I was an absolute mess. Matthew smiled and nodded.

"Okay, so as you all know I love Ms. Blake Grier. But earlier today when we went out for coffee we went out on a picnic, which was just like our first date. And it was amazing. But I also proposed to my best friend today. She is now not only my best friend but soon to be wife and my Fiance." Matthew said with a big. Everyone gasped and then applauded. And lots of 'congratulations'. I then stood up with Matthew and looked at everyone.

"You're next Hayes." Dad said. Hayes rolled his eyes and groaned. Melody then took his hand and gave him a small smile. He then smiled back at her.

"So when's the wedding?" mom asked while chuckling and everyone laughed. My eyes then went wide and I had a small panic attack.

"Ahhh don't scare me with all of this. To much pressure on me right now!" I said. Matthew rubbed my back. Everyone then finally settled down and sat down.

"So have you thought about anything you want for your wedding?" Jeanne asked. I kind of just shrugged.

"Well I know I want Kylie as my flower girl and then Matthew's older sister has a son about her age also. And then I know that I want at least Claire, Trista, and Sadie as my bridesmaids. Oh and then Eloise would be my junior bridesmaid. Matthew can decide his groomsman and stuff. Oh and I want the colors of the wedding to be like pinks, oranges, and corals and that kind of stuff." I said. I then took a big breath and chuckled.

We eventually finished dinner and went back home. When we got home I was basically asleep so Matthew had to carry me in. And Zan met us at the door. Matthew put me down, so Hayes and I ran up to Zan and gave him some puppy love.

"Oh Zanny. Zan man who's a good boy. Oh my goodness you are just the cutest!" I said in my baby voice while petting him and rubbing his belly. Hayes just chuckled at me. We then walked inside where everyone was waiting. I then remembered I had my ring on so I stopped for a second.

"Blake! Oh my goodness you guys are finally back!" Claire said while giving me a hug. "Give me your ring quick I'll put it in my pants pocket then run it up to your room quick." Claire whispered. We then did a quick transaction where I handed my ring off to her. She then ran upstairs. 

"Hi guys!" I said with a big smile. 

"Okay so I was thinking how about the rest of us go out for brunch tomorrow to make up for you guys not coming tonight?" Matthew suggested as he walked over to me and slid his arm around my waist.

"That sounds great. But I have to put the my baby Eloise to sleep." Kendall said while holding a sleeping Eloise in her arms. Jack Johnson then followed her upstairs.

"Well I am so pooped out from today so I think I'm going to bed." I said while looking at Matthew. He smiled and nodded. He then took my hand and we ran upstairs. I put on some pajama's quick and then went to bed.

"So I take it we're telling them tomorrow?" I asked while taking off all of my makeup. Matthew yawned and nodded. "Okay well I am super tired so please don't wake me." I said while putting my hair into a bun and then sliding into my bed. 

The next morning I was awoken by Ellie and Kylie jumping on my bed. They just giggled and giggled. I grabbed both their little ankles and pulled them down and Matthew and I tickled them.

"Okay so why'd you wake me up." I asked.

"Grandma said to." Ellie said. I groaned and rolled my eyes. I pulled out my phone and saw it was 10. I then jumped out of bed to get ready because we were going to be leaving in an hour. I went rummaging through all my clothes and finally picked something. I then went and took a shower. There was a knock on my bathroom door.

"Hey B it's Claire I'm coming in so you better have your shower curtain closed." Claire said while coming in. I just chuckled at her.

"Hi Claire. Um could you make sure my ring is where you put it, and I'm about to get out so go and do that please." I said while turning the shower off. I then hopped out and Claire wasn't there so I dried myself off quick. I then got ready.

I put on a pair of shorts that had paisley print all over them in pink, orange, yellow, blue, and gray. Then a baby pink top with like frills around the sleeves and around the bottom. I wore a pair of brown Birkenstock's that had 3 straps across the foot. The I just brush my hair out. I did my eye makeup really quick. Lastly I put in a pair of pink earrings that were the outline of a cat head.

I walked into my bedroom to see Claire sitting on her phone. She looked up at me and smiled. She then stood up and walked over to me. She then handed me my ring. I grabbed my light tan purse and put it in a pocket, then zipped up the pocket. We walked downstairs together then.

"Oh you look great Blake! But we are actually just having brunch here! On the back patio." Hayes said. I just smiled and nodded.
