chapter 8

Eliza

I enter my room and jump onto my bed. I role to my stomach and smell the sheets. They smell like Alexander. I smile amd sigh. I get up and go to my vanity. My makeup is organized and I smile even more. I go out my door.

"Alex?" I call.

"Yes?" He responds from the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Something..." He responds.

I walk downstairs and crawl into the kitchen. I see Alex's feet and i grab one.

"AH WHAT TBE HECK." he says jumping. Making something fly everywhere

I laugh and roll onto my back. And sauce falls on my face. Alex grabs my hand and helps me up. 

"Aw you made food?" I ask.

"Yep!" He says leading me to the dining table. He pulls out my chair and I sit down. He lights a candle. He goes back to the kitchen. Alex comes out a couple minutes later with two plates. He places one in front of my face and places one at his seat. He sits down and we pick up our forks. I eat the spagatio and moan because it is so good.

"This is amazing where did you learn to cook so well." I say smiling.

"Well my dad left when I was around 13 and my mom grew very sick so I used to cook for her. And well later she actually passed." He says frowning.

"Oh I'm so sorry." I say

" its fine. But speaking of parents? Where are your parents?" He asks.

"Well the same thing basically happened to me except after Peggy was born my mother died and after my mom died my dad just started working and having no time for us. Which explains why he is never home. Angelina is basically our parent figure but my dad still pays all the bills." I say trying to hold back tears.

"Oh i shouldnt have asked I'm very sorry." He says.

"Well i shouldnt have asked about your family either..." I say.

We finish dinner talking about random things. We go into the living room. Alexander has me sit on the couch and I give him a questioning look. He gets on one knee and pulls something out of his pocket. My eyes start tearing up.

"Besty my sweet Betsy. Will you make me the happiest guy alive and be my girlfriend?" He asks holding a ring out.

"Omg you didnt need to get me a ring." I say

"So is that a no?" He asks sounding depressed.

"No it means yes. YES ALEX I WILL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" I say.

"I love you." He says looking happier.

"I love you to." I say.

We turn on the tv and I eventually fall asleep on Alex's shoulder.
