The Boy Next Door

Chapter 22

    Christmas was always my favorite holiday. It always seemed to be the happiest time of year. Especially with family and friends. My mom and dad had flown in from LA to visit us in London for the holidays. Tom was nice enough to fly the private jet out so they wouldn't have to fly commercial.

    I looked around the table to make sure everyone was here. I looked and saw Tom's parents talking with Sam and Harry. I saw Molly showing Paddy something on her phone, and my parents were talking with Harrison. I looked over my shoulder to see Tom walking up behind me while holding Ella at his side. He snaked his arm around my waste pulling me close to him.

    "Who's ready to eat?" He said, smiling. Ella and Paddy ran towards the table as everyone loosely followed. I looked at everyone in there happy state and couldn't help but smile to myself. I was blessed by great family, and great friends.

~~~

    We all sat around the living room next to the fire and the Christmas tree getting ready to open our presents. Paddy and Ella seemed the most ecstatic as they were still young. I watched as they would open gift after gift. It seemed to never end. I'll admit, they were spoiled, but they weren't snobby, which I loved.

    "Okay guys, we have one last present." Tom disappeared for a moment and came back pushing a very large box. I stood, joining him.

    "It's for everyone," I said blushing nervously. Tom looked at me and wrapped his arm around my waste. I grabbed hold of the box lifting it open. Blue and pink balloons lifted, floating to the ceiling. The last balloon to fly out said, 'We're expecting!' In bright letters. I looked at everyone's faces as expressions of excitement were shown. I looked at Tom as everyone went around buzzing about whether the child would be a boy or a girl. "I'm so happy," I whispered to him. He kissed my temple pulling me close to him.

     "Me too, princess."

     *Tom POV*

    I walked up the steps to Harrison's knocking frantically.

    "What?" Harrison answered looking at me, laughing.

    "Haz, I want to marry Millie," I stated barging into his house.

    "Woah, woah, Tom let's think about this for a moment."

    Just then Molly came running down the stairs. "Hold the fuck up did you just say you want to MARRY Millie?" She questioned a smile plastered to her face.

     I nodded, blushing. "She's perfect, guys. Ever since I first met her, I remember looking at her and thinking she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. When we went on our first date I remember looking at her and thinking, this is the girl I want to marry, this is the girl I will marry." I said a blush forming on my face. Molly gushed about how cute everything was and how she could plan the wedding and everything. Harrison and I just watched her.

    "Do you have a ring?" Harrison asked after Molly went back upstairs.

     "No I don't, but I need to get one."

    Harrison offered to go with me and of course Molly had to tag along.

~~~

    "Oh, oh, what about this one?" Molly pointed. "Or this one? Maybe this one?"

    I let Molly have her fun with Harrison as I wondered off.

     "Can I help you with anything?" A man in a suit approached me.

     "I'm just trying to look for an engagement ring for my girlfriend. The price doesn't matter."

    He nodded bringing me over to some very large and pricy engagement rings. I knew Millie wouldn't want a big one, more simple. After the man left, I looked around at the simpler ones. Most were just a band and one diamond, but one stood out more than the others. It had a diamond in the middle and had a diamond band that crossed over a silver band. It was simple and elegant. "That's the one." I said to the guy in the suit.

     "That there sir is almost an ten thousand dollar ring, are you sure?" I nodded with confidence as money was never a problem anymore. I payed for the ring and walked to Haz and Molly. "This is the one, she'll love it don't you think?" I popped open the box and they both gasped.

    "Bro that's a nice ring." Haz said patting my back.

     "Now where you going to propose?" Molly asked giddily. I smiled thinking of her favorite spot here in London.

   "I know the perfect place."
