Later that night...

*Sammy's POV*

I hastily pull on a pair of sneakers as I run out the door. I have a bad habit of being late. I almost forget that I don't have to wait for Mike. He's been in Italy for work for two and a half weeks now, my work and family stuff prevented me from going along, and the house is a lot emptier without him. He should be back in a few days though. Hopping in the car, I drive quickly over to Sophie and Rocco's. Getting out of the car, I run to the door and knock, just as a beaming Sophie opens it. I can see Rocco just behind her, smiling as well. Sophie gives me a tight hug and ushers me in. "Hey Sammy," Rocco says, giving me a quick hug, "I invited another friend, He's from high school, I don't know if you remember him or not. I hope that's cool?"

"Yeah totally!" I say, smiling. "Who is it."

"I'll let you meet him for yourself, he's in the kitchen right now." I follow Rocco into the kitchen and see a guy sitting at the table, he is bent over a book, so I can't see his face. "Hi," I say, "I'm Samantha or Sammy.." I trail off as the guy looks up and greets me with a familiar grin,

"Well, I can't say I know you too well." He says.

"Mike!" I shriek, running over and throwing my arms around him. "I thought you were gonna be in Italy for a few more days. He laughs, hugging me tight. "I was, but I decided I would rather be here more so.." I laugh, giving him a kiss. I hear soft laughter from the kitchen door, and see Sophie and Rocco, smiling, with their arms around each other. Sophie with her head resting on Rocco's shoulder. "Wait," I turn to them, "Why did you randomly ask us over to your house on a Saturday night, when we could be out at a bar?" Sophie and Rocco turn to each other, smiling. "Wait..." I gasp. I run over to Sophie and pull her left hand towards me. A new silver band around her fourth finger shines in the light. I scream and hug her tightly. Sophie is laughing. Mike claps Rocco on the back and pulls him into a hug. I hold on tightly to Sophie. She gently pries me off her and I see that she is crying a bit. "How did he do it?" I ask, excitedly. "I'm gonna make some popcorn." Mike says.

Soon, we're all settled in the living room. Sophie and Rocco are curled up together on one side of the couch. Mike and I are curled up together on the other side. The popcorn bowl is in-between us. "So?" I ask, beaming.

"Well..." Sophie starts.

Earlier today

*Sophie's POV*

"C'mon Soph!" Rocco calls from the hall. We're going on a walk downtown together. I'm excited. It's going to be nice. I hurry down the stairs, grabbing my phone as I go. Rocco is waiting for me in the foyer. I stick my phone in my pocket and lace my fingers through his, as he opens the door. We walk down the street, hand in hand, stopping to point out things in store windows. "Aww." Rocco says, pointing to a pet store. "Look at how adorable that cat is." I look at the fuzzball and smile, he is asleep in a patch of sun, his ears twitching with every breath. I turn back to Rocco and see him down on one knee. My hands go to my mouth and tears fill my eyes. "Sophie," Rocco starts. "I met you in grade school. I was the new kid, and you, Sammy, and Mike had already formed a clique. I was lucky enough to be welcomed into your friend group." I shakily wipe away some of my tears, as Rocco continues. "Over the years, we have grown together, and fell in love. Our love story isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled to call it our own. Now, after seven, years, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

"Yes, yes yes yes!" I cry. Rocco's face lights up. He slides the ring onto my finger, and pulls me into a kiss. The people around us cheer, as I feel tears sliding down my face again.

Back to the present

*Sammy's POV*

"Aww." I squeal, practically jumping up and down with excitement.

"So cute." Mike says, smiling. "Sammy I think you're bruising my knees." I stop bouncing up and down and give him a guilty smile." We all laugh as the doorbell rings. "That must be the pizza," Sophie says, half rising from her chair.

"I'll get it!" I say, jumping up and hurrying to the door. We had a nice night, binge watching Family Guy, and eating pizza and popcorn. At the end of the night, Mike and I get into the car, after many more congratulations and hugs for Sophie and Rocco, and drive home. The drive is quiet. Both of us just enjoying each other's company. He pulls into the driveway and turns the key in the car. As we get out of the car I ask, "so when will you propose to me?" He laughs and puts an arm around my shoulders, pulling me close to him. I smile as we walk up the driveway together. 

How did you like it? IDK it's not great. Anyway,

Sincerely,

Me
