You're All I Need (Clouis AU)

Chapter 17: Can I Tell You Something

"Clem, we're gonna be late!" Brody scolded as she watched her friend throw cloth out of her closet.

The two were going on a double date, since there boyfriends were best friends and the two girls were best friends they decided to go on a double date at the fare.

"How can we be late if the guys are gonna pick us up. I bet there not even ready yet." Clementine said as she looked back at her best friend.

Brody rolled her eyes as she walked over to the other girl and walked into her closet. "Want me to help you get ready?" She asked

Clementine looked up at Brody and nodded before reaching her hands up so that the other girl would pick her up.

While Brody was helping Clem pick out an outfit, Marlon was over at Louis' house. Louis laid flat on his bed room floor, fiddling with the small box that was in his hands.

Marlon was sitting at the boys desk, spinning in his rolling chair. Him and Louis had gone out to the store recently and picked something up, something really special.

"When did you give Brody her promise ring bro?" Louis question as he opened the small box. A beautiful silver ring that was in the shape of a heart with diamonds tracing the outline of the heart.

Marlon stopped spinning for a second and walked over to his best friend, sitting on the floor next to him.

"It was when I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. She's the only girl I've ever really loved and I just knew that I loved her and wanted to be with her forever."

Louis smiled as he sat up on the floor. "I do love her, a lot, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with her."
Louis said truthfully with no hesitation in his voice.

"I don't wanna be a prude but why haven't you told her yet. That you loved her. She's said it to you." Marlon questioned as he checked the time on his watch.

"I was scared...after all that shit with my mother and then  Sophie, I didn't want to be left alone again. I was talking to Ashly a couple days ago and told her everything. Her and I talked and then you took me to get a promise ring for Clementine. My family loves her as much as I do, and I don't want to loose her." Louis admitted truthfully,

Marlon smiled and then stood up. "Then give it to her. C'mon, let's go pick them up and head down to the fare."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The teens has been at the fare for a couple of hours, the sun was all ready beginning to set. It was golden hour as some would call it.

The lights that were all around has become very visual; red, blue, yellow, purple, green, pink, orange and black.

They had done almost all the rides and they all took multiple pictures of themselves and with each other

Though Clementine was a model, she didn't really like taking pictures that much, but of course Louis waned all the pictures he could get of his beautiful girlfriend.

"This is what happens when your girlfriend is a model." Marlon snickers as Louis took pictures of Clementine on his phone.

"Louis asked for pictures of her." Brody said as she approached the two boys, Marlon rapping his arm around the girls shoulders.

"So, are you gonna give it to her Lou?" Brody whispers as Clementine approaches the three teens. "I'm gonna, just fallow my lead." Louis said right before Clementine joined them.

"You should tie your dreads back babe." Clementine said as she ran her fingers through her boyfriends hair.

He smiled at her as she handed him her purple hair tie that was around her wrist. She stood in front of him and looped his dreads back three times with the hair tie. She cupped his face after and places a soft kiss on his lips. He smiled back as he entwined there fingers together.

"Hey, since were right by the Ferris wheel Clem, you wanna go in it before we leave?" Louis asked his girlfriend, giving her a wink.

"You two should go, Marlon and I are gonna go grab a drink, we'll meet you guys here and then we can leave.

And with that Marlon and Brody were off. Louis grabbed Clementine's hand as they went over to the last right of the day

The ride was so peaceful, the sky looked so beautiful, but Louis wasn't focused on that. He was focused on Clementine, her head lining again the glass as she looked out side.

Louis knew that now was the time, it was time to tell her the news.

"Clementine?"

"Yeah Lou?"

"Can I tell you something...?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"I love you too..."

At that moment, the girl felt her heart skip a beat, her eyes widen as she looked at her boyfriend in the eyes.

"I'm sorry I didn't say it when you told me. Clementine I felt the love, but I was scared, scared you would do what my mom did. I was being stupid and thought you would leave when I know you wouldn't. I'm sorry."

Louis places his hands atop his girlfriend as tears formed in her eyes; she gave a small giggle and cupped her boyfriends face with her hands.

"Oh Louis, don't be sorry because I understood. Louis, I'm so happy you said it back and I knew it was there. I wasn't gonna pressure you to say it because I want you to be comfortable. It's a hard things to say and I'm glad you finally did."

"And because I love you Clem." Louis posed as he grabbed a small box out of his jacket pocket. Clementine let out a gasp as she cupped her mouth.

Louis places the box in his hands before speaking. "Now this is not an engagement ring just yet babe, but I love you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life, so this is a promise ring. If it's okay with you this ring is gonna go on your left middle finger and once it's on it's my promise to you that one day we will get married."

Clementine began to cry more and her hands were shacking, she gave Louis her left hand and he placed the ring on her finger.

He then stood up as cupped her face with his hands, gently whipping away her tears of joy with the pad of his thumb.

"I love you Everett.." Louis whispered right before he kissed his lover.

"I love you too Smith..."
