Love Story

Big Surprise

Song For The Chapter:"Love On Top" Beyoncé

*Austin's POV*

I looked through the fridge, wondering who was gonna speak first. I trying to hold in my laughter at the hilarious situation. I lifted my head out of the fridge and peeked at Alex, who was looked at his hands, playing with his fingers.

I finally decided to speak up. "So..."I got everyone's attention and all I eyes were on me, so I continued,"...what you guys want for dinner?"I finished trying to my laughter in but a chuckle slipped through my lips.

Everyone just sat there, looking at one another. "Um. How bout we order chinese? Everybody loves chinese." Lyssa said with a half smile. "I'm down." Alex chimed in. I looked in his direction with pursed lips. I couldn't hold it in any longer, I bursted into laughter. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

"Oh c'mon. You know you're all thinking about the funny shit that happened earlier."I said. Then it hit them and they all joined to have a laugh. "You shouldve seen your face though Alex. It was priceless."Nikki added. "Well what the hell did you expect? I was scared as fuck." Alex said.

"Well next time keep it in the room you two."Nikki said playfully. I grabbed my phone and ordered our food. When it arrived we all sat in the living room talking about what's happened the last few days. From Nikki regaining partial memory, to Alex's conversation with his mom.

"Well, you guys wanna watch a movie?"Lyssa said as we all finished the last of our food. "Sure"we all agreed, one after the other. After we went through our small movie collection we decided to go with Insidious. I popped the movie in and each couple cuddled up on a couch. I grabbed a blanket for me and Nikki so we could stay warm. I know she gets cold easily.

Nikki nestled her head on my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her. As the movie started, I noticed that Nikki was staring at me out the corner of my eye. I looked at her with a slight smile,"What are looking at?"I whispered. She looked me in the eyes and said ever so softly, "I'm just wondering how I got so lucky. I can't believe I have my dream guy." Those words brought a huge smìle to my face.

"Well I'm the lucky one. I wouldve never tthought I'd end up with an amazing and beautiful girl like you."I said giving her a kiss on the forehead. She smiled so big. I just love everything about her. From the brown hair that graces her head, to her perfect brown eyes, to her big cheesy smiles. I just...I love her.

"You know I remembered more today babe."she said. "Oh really? And what's that?"I said curiously. "Well, I remember the fight me and my dad had." she paused for a second, "I remember us moving into the house."she took a longer pause which had me worried. I knew she was holding something back. "What else baby?"I said moving her hair behind her ear.

"I remember.....the fisrt time you said you loved me." she said as a single tear fell down her face. I quickly wiped it away and rubbed her face gently with my thumb. "Aw baby. Why are you crying?" I looked her in the eyes. "I...I can't remember me saying it back."another tear fell from her eye. She looked down in a shameful manner and I picked her head up with my finger. "Look at me Nikki. Its fine. At the end of the day I know that you love or you wouldnt be here with me right now. I love you. You will always be at the top of my list. You're the last thing I think about at night and the first thought every morning. I love you. Forever and always."I said as I kissed her soft sweet tasting lips. She looked at me when I broke the kiss and smiled. "I love you too Austin."her voice now cracking.

We went back to the movie and within 45 mins Nikki had fallen asleep on my chest. I played with her hair for a while until the movie ended. Alex and Lyssa said goodnight and went to their room. Nikki was sleeping so peacefully and I didn't wanna wake her so I laid us down on the couch and I wrapped my arm around her stomach. I kissed her shoulder that was exposed by her tank top. "I love you, NikkI. And one day, you'll be my wife and we'll have a bunch of little baby Mahones runnin around."I silently chuckled to myself and kissed her shoulder one more time. "Goodnight.....Ms. Mahone" I layed my head down and slowly drifted to sleep.

The next morning I woke up and I didn't feel her in my arms. I rubbed my eyes and sat up to look around. No sign of her. I lazily got up and walked into our bedroom. She wasn't there I either. I checked the whole house and she wasn't anywhere to be found. Actually, no one was to be found.

Just then I heard the front door close and faint laughter. I walked into the living room and saw everyone coming in with smile on their faces. "Oh look who's up? Goodmorning baby."Nikki said as she walked over and gave me a kiss. "We went out to grab some food for breakfast. We got McDonalds."Alex said. He set the food on the dining table and set up everyone's little plate. We all sat and started eating.

"You know, this is the first time we've used this table."Lyssa said. "Speak for yourself."I said as I looked at Nikki and winked. Lyssa saw me and said "Oh god gross! Did you at least clean it off after?" I nodded as I chuckled to myself. We all talked about whatever. Music, movies, you know, regular gossip. Nikki excused herself and asked me to come in the room to talk to her. I won't lie I was a bit nervous.

We got to the room and I closed the door behind me. "What's up?"I asked. She sat on the bed and looked at me with the biggest smile ever. "You know I heard you right?" she said.

"Heard what?"I was very curious now.

"Last night,"she said,", I heard what you said when you thought i was sleep."I walked over to her and scratched the back of my head nervously. "I thought was cute. and you're right." She said.

"What do you mean?"I asked. She looked me in the eyes. "One day I will be your wife, and hopefully one day soon. Cause I love you Austin. And I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be with."she spoke so softly. I couldn't help but lean in and kiss her. It was so passionate but so gentle at the same time. I let go and we touched our foreheads together. "Its time." I whispered. She backed up and looked at me. "Time for what?"she asked.

I got up and walked over to the dresser and pulled it out. I tucked it behind my back and turned to Nikki.

I began talking as I slowly made my way to her,"Nikki. We've been together for a while now and I can't see myself with anyone but you. You make me smile when no one else can and you always know what to say when I need you. You're the most beautiful, intelligent, strong, and all around perfect, women I have ever met and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you."

I stood in front of her and got down on one knee. Her face lit up and tear started forming in her eyes and she cover her mouth in awe. I took the box from behind my back and opened it to reveal the ring. "Nicole Briana Bell, will you marry me?"I said my voice cracking with fear.

She shot up to her feet and screamed the top of her lungs "YES YES YES OH MY GOD A MILLION TIMES YES!!" She gave me her hand and I place the 8kt Diamond ring on her finger then I stood up and kissed her. We broke the hug and she looked at her hand in awe for her ring. "But...how, when?" she questioned. "Well. While me and Alex we're out in New York for the tour, I stopped at a jewelry store and picked it out for the perfect moment."I said. "Oh my god. I-I'm just so shocked that this is really happening!"she exclaimed. "I have to tell Lyssa."she said as she gave me a hug and a kiss and headed for the door. I followed behind her as she darted down the hall screaming Lyssa's name.

She showed her the ring and they both screames together. Alex got up walked over to me and gave me a hug. "Congratulations bro. You guys are pretty mucj perfect for each other."he said. "Yeah. She's amazing and I felt like now was the time."I said as I watched Lyssa and Nikki basically fangirling over the events that just happened. Alex nudged my arm and i looked over to him,"You know what you gotta now right?"he said smiling. I was lost at the moment so I said,"What?" He pulled out his phone and said "You gotta tell the crew bro."

I've been so caught up since we left the tour that I haven't even talked to Rob or Zach. They were so surprised me and Alex left without telling. I grabbed the phone and called Zach. I heard the familiar voice on the other end pick up,"Well its about damn time we got a call. You guys leave the damn tour to go play house with your little girlfriends." I just started laughing. "Hi to you too Zach. Listen. I need you and Rob to catch a flight to Malibu. We need to talk something over with you guys." I said.

"What makes you think we wanna hang with y'all?" he joked. We both started laughing. "Nah I'm just playing bro. We'll check some flights and give you a call when we book it."he said.

"Alright. Thanks bro. Can't wait to see you guys. Bye."I said as I hung up and handed Alex his phone back.

This is really happening. I'm engaged to the girl I love and we're getting married. I couldnt be happier.
