Finding You(on hold)

Questioning the Question?

Melody

Even with the cruel joke my family played on me, this has been the best birthday ever. Collin snuck off for some reason half way through. And while I don't know why, I did notice his nervous mood was more happy when he came back. As I walked the halls I was about to call for Collin then say goodbye to my as I was about to speak I saw the two walk into the study and close the would they go in there? This better not be another surprise. Ive had enough of them today.

I almost wanted to walk in and see what they were talking about but I decided not to. I waked past the room a little slowly to see if I could hear anything.

"Hear anything" My step mother asked me from down the hall.

"Shh," I whispered over to her "Not yet."

She stood next to me and leaned her ear against the door."They were in here earlier." she whispered to me.

"Why?" I asked

"I don't know but I'd like to just as much you would."

"That is why were leaning against the door isn't it?"

We heard laughing from the other side of the door. " She can be a little picky sometimes"

"I can agree to that" I heard Collin answer back to m father.

"Picky? I am not picky" I whispered to My step mother.

"Well they better not be talking about me either."

"I think she'll like it" I hear my dad tell Collin

"I know she'll like it, whether she says yes it what I'm worried about."

"Trust me I'm worried to. I can't be the only man in her life forever. I don't have much left on the clock and I'd like to see her happy before I go."

"Awe don't talk like that, she is happy, just not like she used to be."

" I can promise you an answer but I can't promse you'll like it" my dad said changing the subject back to the orignal topic.

"What answer? What is he going to ask?" I looked at my step mom.

"I think we should talk in the kitchen, Mel."

"Okay?" I said responding., following her to the kitchen.

"Mel, I think he's going to pop the question on you."

"No. He wouldn't do that."Would he? He has acted strange he thinks lively with him has changed my mind about he hasn't hinted anything out. Guys do that right?

"You never know."

"What do I do if he does?"

"Answer."

"Yes, but, what do I say I can't get married I'm only 18, and it doesn't work it never works."

My step mother didn't say anything.

"Sorry." I said realizing I just told her she and my dad weren't going to work out.

"It's alright. I know you're shoken up by this."

"I am." was all I could say.

"You'll know what to do when it I might be wrong you know."

"Maybe" I said picking at my nails, trying not to look at her as if I didn't this conversation wouldn't be happening.

"He could be talking about buying a house for all we know"

"We do live with his friends" I said.
