Hidden

A shock

We thought we'd sperated fast enough, but apparently not. Violetta stood in the door way with the biggest grin on her face and her gaze was locked on me.

German hadn't turned around to look at Violetta, he had just kept looking at me and now, with both of them looking at me, I was blushing.

I didn't know what to say about the situation, so I blushed violently.

"Can you close the door, it's rather cold." I stammered nervously, hoping to take some attention off me and my now dark crimson cheeks.

Violetta however, without taking her eyes off me, shut the door.

I felt so self conscious with the two of them watching me, I just didn't know what to say or do.

"Is anyone going to say anything?" I ask nervously.

"Me." says German and Violetta in union.

I gulped. I didn't know what would be said. I didn't know how I'd reply. German and Violetta exchanged glances.

My palms were sweaty with worry. I didn't know what would happen. Both of them had something to say and I didn't want to hear either.

"Violetta can speak first." says German, "Give me a moment."

With that, German dashes upstairs frantically and I'm left with Violetta stood in front of me.

"I can't believe it!" she cries as she jumps at me for a hug, "I just don't know what to say!"

I pull her into me, enjoying the hug, but dreading the conversation.

"Are you together?" asks Violetta happily.

"Vilu.." I begin but I'm not sure what to say.

"Does this mean you're staying?" she asks in a whisper.

I sighed, "I don't know what any of it means Vilu. It's confusing."

"But you love my dad right?" she says still whispering.

"I do." I suddenly admit, which actually shocks myself. I didn't mean to say it, but it came out.

"Then tell him.Stay." says Violetta with her eyes wide.

"I..."

Before I can say anything though German bounds down the stairs.

"Okay, my turn." he says as he enters the living room.

"I need to say this. I have to. You might think I'm crazy and I actually might be but I need you to listen."

Violetta steps beside me so German is directly in front of me and she watches him as intently as I do.

"Okay, then." I say, "I'm listening."

German smiles at me. Pausing just to look into my eyes for a moment.

Then, I'm one swift movement, he moves his hand from behind his back and drops onto one knee.

My eyes go wide and I feel my throat tighten. Beside me, I small squeal escapes Violetta's lips.

As I begin to comprehend the situation. German opens a small box and inside it sits a sparkling white gold ring.

"Marry me, Angie."
