Rebecca

I hold his arm in between my hands, "Andre?" I say softly laying my head on his shoulder. We lay together on his comfy bed, "Yeah?" He asks and I feel his head on mine, "Can I ask you something?" I feel the rumble of his chest flow through me as I speak, "Depends." He says smirking, "You still want to marry me?" I ask to the quiet room.

"Of course, why are you asking?" His free hand runs through his hair, "Just thinking." I whisper kissing his bare skin. My body snuggles closer to him, his body heat forcing itself on me. I rub my thumb against his bicep, "What about you?" He says and I smile, "Well duh." His body jumps as he lets out a small laugh.

I close my eyes and picture Andre and I old and wrinkly. We'll probably still be yelling at each other, but as long as I have him I'm invincible. Things are better with him. Colors are brighter. He's my light that I've always needed and will continue to need as I grow into who ever it is that I'm supposed to be. I need goofy and stable, plus his looks are a bonus. I see him when I win, he's the first person I go to when something is wrong.

"You know I pictured this moment so different." He says peeling away from me. I sit up with him and hold the gray sheet against me, "What are you talking about?" I ask and he opens a drawer in his nightstand, "I'm gonna punch you if you pull out a condom." I giggle looking around the room. There on the floor lay all my clothes, "Becks?" My eyes meet his as he faces me leaving the sheet to cover his lap.

In his hands lay a little blue box, "I gotta ask you something." I cover my mouth, "I know I can be annoying and crazy sometimes, but I love you." He smiles, "So will you do the honor of marrying me?" He pops open the little box, but I can't take my eyes away from his, "Are you serious?" I whisper suddenly losing my voice, "Yeah." He smiles and a tear rolls down my cheek, "Are you crying?" He laughs wiping it away, "Of course I'm crying!" I exclaim grabbing his arm, "So I take it this is your way of saying yes?"

"Yes!" I say and he takes the ring from the box, sliding it on my finger. I wrap my arms around his neck and feel the sheet fall from my body. I press my body against his, "This would've been so awkward if you said no." He says against my neck. His vibrations going through my body as I crawl onto his lap. My hair is wrecked and I'm wearing no make up, if he can ask me now the least I could do is to say yes.

I pull away and hold his face in my hands, "I love you." He smiles as he kisses me passionately. This moment will stay with me forever, I'll cherish him forever. His hands on my bare body sends me to heaven, "I know." He says cockily. I roll my eyes and kiss him quickly. I finally put my hand in front of me to see the ring. It's simple and elegant all in the same breath, "The diamonds from my grandma's ring she had." He says rubbing my back, "It's so pretty." I say taking it all in, "It's also four karats."

Shit.

"My grandma wasn't big in small things." He chuckles, "She's smart." I look into those beautiful brown eyes I fall in love with more and more everyday. He's smiling looking at the ring on my finger, "At least I waited until you got your nails done." I wrap my arms loosely around him again, "Well soak them in, they're fresh." He raises his eyebrow, "How so?" I sigh running my fingers through his hair to his scalp, "I got them done this morning."

He hasn't stopped smiling for even a second, "Perfect timing I guess." He says before kissing me again. There's heat involved with this kiss as he moves slow. This is my favorite, when he kisses me slowly oh my goodness I can't get enough. His soft lips moving against mine is enough to send my body into overdrive. Hell the sound of his voice makes my knees weak.

"Andre!" His mom calls out and we break apart barely in time for her to whip the door open. She stands there frozen as I cover my body up, "Oh my god!" She screams stumbling to shut the door. Andre uses his body as a shield, "Just shut the door mom!" He says covering my body from the door, "I'm trying!" She says before the click of the door signals she finally got it to close.

I laugh resting my forehead on his back, "I'm sorry." I say through quick breaths, "Geez." He chuckles reaching behind him to squeeze my knee, "Do you think she saw anything?" He says looking over his shoulder, "Just my nipples." He drops his head and continues to laugh, "What they were just kinda out." I say sitting up, "Believe me I know." He says and I smile, "Well I hope you like them because you're stuck with them." I say and he turns his body towards me.

He smiles and climbs over top of my body, "Mhm." He moans kissing my jawline. I bite my lip as he moves down to my neck. "I'm so sorry you guys!" His mom yells from the other side of the door. His kiss turns into a raspberry and I bust into a fit of laughter. He puts his body weight on me as he laughs, "Rebecca has nice boobs if that counts?!" Poor woman, "Mom we get it." Andre laughs calling out to his mom.

I cover my mouth to keep from squeaking because I'm laughing so hard. Andres head is still stuffed into my neck as we both lay in a fit of laughter. A door opens and closes just as quickly, "Good she's gone." He says and I nod sobering up, "I can't believe that just happened." He says sitting up and pulling me up with him. I'm afraid I'm at a loss for words, "Good boobs?" I say and Andre slips on his underwear. He sighs throwing mine at me, "You better hurry before she comes back."

I roll my eyes and slide off the bed slipping back into my clothes, "Here." Andre says throwing my favorite shirt of his at me, "Really?" He nods, "Why not?" He says opening the bed room door and walks out. I slide it on and notice how well he looks shirtless. I skip out after him, "So." I say and he opens a can of soda, "What?" He says before taking a drink, "I don't know." I sigh, "The wheels are turning in here." He pushes his finger to my forehead.

"Rachel." I lean against the counter, "I have no idea how she got in here Becks, I'm serious." He sits on top of the counter, "I know it's just creepy." I say itching my nose, "She's creepy." He says pulling at his shorts, "I hate ex's." I say and he nods taking another drink, "Agreed." The front door swings open and a distressed Deja stomps through the door. She's been crying, "What's wrong?" Andre asks and she drops to the floor.

I walk over to her and match her height on my knees, "Are you okay?" She just pulls me into a hug. I hold the back of her head, "Wesley's married." Oh no. Deja was seeing this guy Wesley for the past eight months. She thought they were going good and steady, I guess not. I wrap my arms tighter and feel her tears on my shoulder.

I can hear Andre cussing from behind me before he walks over and sits down on the floor ready to comfort his sister. Deja and I are alike, we fall in love too quick and our big hearts get us in trouble.

After letting her cry it out we order Chinese and I show her the ring. "Ahh!" She screams jumping up and down, "It's about time!" She says hugging me again before hugging Dre. Our night is spent eating Chinese and watching a series of comedy movies. When she leaves Dre and I cuddle up on the couch and steal more than looks during the movie.
