I had woke up that morning and I could hear Ethan was in the Bathroom taking a shower. As he was in the shower I got dressed in jeans and a tshirt, my everyday outfits. As i finished getting dressed, Ethan came out of the bathroom, wrapped in just a towel, “Where would you like to go for breakfast babe?” he asked me cheerfully. “Is that a question? IHOP..duhhh” i told him jokingly.
“IHOP for my girl it is! So the plan for today is, We all are going to breakfast, from there us guys will bring you back to have a pool day amongst yourselves, and then me and the rest of the guys are going to go bowling and come home and have an early movie night with our girls,” after his whole plan he smiled wide, it was the cutest. “Sounds good to me, now get dressed...i'm starving to death” i said as smacked his stomach and walked away laughing.
I got downstairs and everyone was up and ready, and on their phones waiting. Ethan finally came down the stairs, “Ready guys?” he was overly happy, i knew something was up. “Oh yeah, we've only been ready for a good half hour.” tiff and gray said and everyone laughed. Each couple to separate cars, and then Lori and Cam went together in his car. After about 20 minutes we arrived at IHOP, we all walked in and were immediately taken to a booth. On one side sat me on the inside, then Ethan with his arm around me, following him was grayson, Then Tiff at the end leaning on Gray as he held her hand. Sitting across from me was Lori as Cam who was to the left of her, smoothly put him arm around her in a flirty manner, the Aaron who put his arm around Kait While she leaned on him.
We all got our food pretty quickly, all we ordered was pancakes, so we talked as we ate and The guys were in a rush to get going to the mall as it approached 11:30. We finally finished eating about 11:45 and headed home. The guys dropped us off and before we could say anything to them they had moved to one car and drove off. Since it was a little to cold for a pool day, we decided just to get in comfy clothes and watch netflix instead. All of us went upstairs and got into sweats and hoodies as we binge watched AHS the rest of the day while eating junk food.
About 4:00 Got a text from Ethan, “Hey beautiful, get your best dress game on, we are treating our ladies tonight.Be ready by 4:45 we'll be home then😘” Soon, everyone got a text saying to get ready but mine by far was the cutest. We hurried and got our best dresses, heels, and even did our makeup. And were ready by 4:30,”And that ladies, is how its done.” Tiff said chuckling. Finally, 4:45 came around and the boys were home on the dot. We saw them pull in and scatter to their passenger side doors, we walked out of the house and at tje sight of us their jaws dropped. “Don't you ladies look nice,” Ethan said smirking and grabbing me for a hug. “I could say the same for you, love the tux. But you didnt get that bowling hun.” i got in the car laughing.
After all the guys complimented us girls, we headed to the restaurant, it was none other than the HardRock Cafe. This place always took hours to get into, But tonight we got in within a matter of seconds. We walked to our secluded table, there were very few people around us, it was quiet, it was really nice. At the table the guys sat Ethan, Cam, Grayson, then Aaron. So I sat across from Ethan, then from me it Went Lori,Tif, then Kait. We all talked amongst ourselves and the longer we were there the more fidgety Ethan got.. I didn't think anything of it, so I just tried to talk as much as possible to keep his mind off of what was bothering him. Soon enough, the waitress came to take our order, and after we all ordered, the guys stood up. We girls looked at eachother confused, but were interested to see where this was going.
First Cam spoke up, “ Lori, this may ruin the friendship we have, but i need to come clean. I have liked you since the day you came to visit..and quite frankly, i don't want you to leave. I'll miss having you around and i don't want that. You make me feel as if i'm not alone, you never fail to make me smile, soo...in that case, will you be my girlfriend?” He said hesitantly. She looked him straight in the eyes and nodded her head violently, “Yes, of course!” she screamed in tears of joy.
Then Came Aaron,”So Kait, in the past 5 weeks, youve become my everything. I don't know what id do without you. Ive never felt any like how i feel about you before, you never fail to make my day, make me smile, or cheer me up. You're just too sweet,” he annunciated as he pulled Kait’s favorite candies out of his pocket, On top of the candies was a note that read, “I have 2 better gifts for you at home, don't worry,” she thanked Aaron with a huge smile on her face blushing at his words. They were too cute together.
Following Aaron was grayson,” Awh Tiff, my girl. Where do i even start? There are so many things i want to tell you to explain how much I love you, but thatd take forever and i simply cant find words that describe how amazing you are. You are everything i could ask for. Without you, who knows where id be. You are my world, and a world without you is not a world i want to live in. Because living without you would be pointless, when you are not only my Girlfriend, but my best friend, my whole life. And to thank you for being so amazing.. I got you this.” he said as he pulled a large, black velvet box and opened it up. Inside was a necklace, with a heart shaped charm with diamonds on the outside, and in the middle a picture of them laughing together. When he flipped it over, she saw there initials engraved into the back along with it saying i love you. Tiffany hugged Grayson and began to cry and say how much she loved the gift. She immediately had him put it around her neck. She absolutely loved it!
Finally Ethan was able to speak after what seemed like forever. “Well, as you know, the last 8 months have been a blast with you. If we weren't together, the past 8 months i would have been so bored, which brings me to the fact that you are absolutely amazing, your smile makes my day, your laugh makes me laugh, when you cry i want to be there for you. I want to be there for you through everything, good and bad. I want to protect you at all costs because you are my World. And without my world i can't survive. Without you i'm nothing. You give me a reason to be here and i can't thank you enough. I love you so much and thats why i got you this,” he pulled out a small velvet box, and opened it. He angled it downward towards me, at the sight of the promise ring I began to cry, happy tears of course. He grabbed my hand gently and put the ring on my finger. I hugged him tightly as he hugged me too. As he stood back up to go to his seat he kissed my forehead, “Thanks so much, i love Ethan” i said as he wiped my happy tears. As Cam saw this, he stood up, “Lori, i forgot to give you thi-” as he kissed her. I was glad to see they were together officially now, theyll be really happy with eachother.
After he went and sat back down, our food came out. We ate and sat and talked for awhile before we left. After we were done talking they guys paid and we walked out happier than when we walked in. The whole car ride home, i stared at Ethan smiling. He made me, i wouldn't have suspected any of this.
We got home and we all said goodnight even thought it was only 9:03, and we all went to our rooms. The next morning Me, Lori, Kait, and Tiff woke up early to plan something for the guys,before anything was started, Kait brought down the bear Aaron had gotten her, and to our surprise as she squeezed his paw, was a voice recording of aaron saying “I love you,” we all smiled at the cute gesture and talked the rest of the morning about how happy we were dating who we were dating, up until the guys woke up. After they woke up, we went and had a pool day. As we got ready, Lori asked me a question that made my day.
