Chapter eighty two

"Baaaabbbeeee you gotta get up"

I don't know how, but it felt like I've only been asleep for a few minuets; boy this better be good.

"What time is it?"

"It's 3am baby girl, it's time to go to London"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"I booked us a trip to London, everyone's meeting us there"

"Everyone?"

"Just please get your pretty little booty up so we don't miss our flight, I've already packed all your stuff"

I didn't bother asking anymore questions because this is Gus at the end of the day, he's so unpredictable there's no point. Yawning I stood up and looked around, two suitcases were by the bedroom door and a pile of clothes on the dresser; he really had this all figured out.

Picking up the chosen clothes I threw them on and pulled my hair back into a messy ponytail, I can't be fucked with today. Not at all. I grabbed the suitcases and wheeled them out to the front door where Gus was standing looking stressed at his phone; there's probably an issue with the flights.

"You okay Gus?"

"Yeah we're just running a bit late, you ready?"

"Let's go"

If you had told me yesterday that I would be in an Uber on my way to the airport at 4am to go to London, you better fucking believe I wouldn't have listened...

Yet here I fucking am.

"You gonna tell me why we're suddenly going across the world?"

"You'll find out soon enough"

"Great. ima go to sleep, wake me up -"

"- BEFORE YOU GO GO"

"- ...im not gonna question whatever the fuck that was, but wake me up when we get there"

///////////////////

"Welcome back to London baby"

"When can we go to the hotel and sleep?"

He laughed and laced our fingers as he lead me through the airport and to the taxi that was waiting for us, boy knew I was too tired to navigate myself. Climbing into the cab he gave the driver an address that seemed so familiar it bothered me that I couldn't remember it...that was until it clicked.

He fucking didn't.

"Gus don't even play around with that shit, did you actually?"

"I did, I totally did"

"Oh my fucking god Gus!"

I felt all tiredness leave my body as I jumped into his arms despite being buckled down in a seat; it was crazy how emotional I could feel myself getting but I couldn't help it. This is amazing.

"Are you crying baby?"

"You're taking me back to the park I basically grew up in, the place where I first met Bexey"

"I know.......surprise!"

The rest of the ride was in silence as I tried to calm myself down, the combination of the jet-lag, memories and just shock was getting all too much. As I sensed the car coming to a stop, I felt Gus lightly grab my arm and place something in my hands.

A blindfold. A fucking blindfold.

"You gotta be shitting me, a blindfold? No way"

"Come on its part of the surprise!"

"I'm sorry but no"

"Pretty please?"

"Fine just do it you big baby"

Giggling like....well a little child Gus payed the diver and placed the piece of silk over my eyes before helping me out of the car. This was going to be interesting. I felt myself being led up a small hill and eventually through a gate, a path I knew like the back of my hand; this nostalgia is insane.

"Get ready baby girl...3, 2, 1"

The second the blindfold was taken off I felt all the air in my lungs get caught in my throat  and my heart stop. Wrapped around the swings were these beautiful fairy lights as crybaby played softly in the background and everyone I loved stood watching us.

I looked around in utter awe and saw everybody; Gus' family, Emma, Bexey, goth, Tracy, Dylan and even Sherif (ledderick) and my fucking dad. As I went to complete the 360° turn i doing felt all breath and thought leave me...

There Gus was in front of me, down on one knee holding out the most beautiful ring I have ever seen; not forgetting the involuntary tears that fell from my eyes as I saw Gus show off his amazing smile. He was proposing to me.

"Something I've come to realise is that I don't want you to just stay my girlfriend forever, I want you to officially be my forever. We can make marriage our own, fuck tradition you know? I love you so much baby girl and I want everyone to know that you are my future; I want to rub it in everyone and anyone's face. Em, will you marry me?"

"Yes"
