AN: Hehehe, I just had to post today. But yeah enjoy....... 

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

Today instead of getting a ride from Peter I decided to just walk, I haven’t talked to him since he last called and that was two weeks ago. The walk isn’t too much, thank goodness I live close to the hospital. And I could use the exercise. I haven’t seen Nathan either, I’ve been trying to avoid him at all cost.

All the time I’ve been spending away from them, has helped me so much. I’ve had time to clear my mind, and know what I want. Actually thinking about it, I’ve had my mind made up two weeks ago. All I need to do now is tell him, that we’re done. But I don’t want to hurt him. And I know it will.

I head towards the break room, it’s finally time for my lunch. Walking in I notice a note by my bag. I get it, and open it.

‘Hey, babe sorry I haven’t spoken to you  in so long but I’ve been so busy. And now I can finally show you what I’ve been working so hard on. So please meet me at Zuma at 8. I sent you a dress and all the accessories as well. I can’t wait till you see what’s in stored. “ - Love Peter xx

So no calls, no texts, and not even a glance, and he wants me to show up for dinner? I guess this is the perfect time to tell him we’re done. Yes, it’s a bit rude, since this is a surprise dinner for me, but I need to call things off. The sooner I do it, the better.

-

I walk into my apartment, and see roses a whole bunch of them. I see dozen after dozen, all of them leading towards my bedroom. What the hell is going on? They alternate between red, pink, and white. I smile, at the gesture Peter has made. He organized all this for me. It breaks my heart to know I can’t love him as much as I love Nathan. As I open the door to my room, I’m in tears. My whole room is filled with roses. I can’t even see the floor. My bed is filled with rose petals, and Nathan comes to mind. They make the shape of a heart. I inhale deeply, and exhale. Do I really have the heart to break his?

I maneuver my way to bed, and see a beautiful silver dress (pic on the side). Oh god. I’m not going to that dinner. I can’t! I don’t have the damn heart to hurt him. I look around my bed, and there are black heels, black drop earrings with gold lining, a black clutch with gold letters, and a black bracelet just like the earrings. He must of spent a fortune on all this. My phone starts ringing, making me jump. It’s Peter.

“Hey.” I whisper.

“It’s nice to hear your voice, babe.” I wipe a tear away, and exhale.

“Nice to hear yours too.” My voice comes out way too shaky for my liking. He can’t know I’ve been crying.

“So are you home.” I look around my room, and smile.

“Thank you. I love it all.” I say and mean it. I do love everything.

“I’ll see you at eight.” he breathes. I hang up without saying goodbye or even saying I will be there. Cause at this point I don’t know. You know what. I have to grow a pair, and face this. I have to to be honest, and I can’t keep running away from the problem.

 

After I blow dry my hair, I go with loose curls. I hear a knock at my door, and I decide not to answer it, it could be, Nathan or Zayn. And to be quite honest I don’t feel like dealing with none of them. I need to keep focus. I need to rehearse how I’m going to break with up Peter. The knocking continues as I finish with my make-up. Ok this person must really want to see me. I groan as I open the door. “Mom?” My mom hugs me, and I see Burt standing behind my her. Oh this just got better. How do I tell them, that I’m heading out to break Peters’ heart?

“Going out?” my mom smiles. Wait I know that smile. That’s the smile she does when she knows something.

“Yes, I’m meeting Peter tonight.” I give them a weak smile.

“Well you better get going didn’t he say eight?” My mom says and then covers her mouth. How does she know? Ok what is going on here? My parents are in town, and they know that Peter said dinner was at eight.

“And you know why?” I raise a questioning brow at her.

She shrugs and looks at Burt. “He told us, when he dropped us off.” He brought them. I’m so confused. I motion them inside the apartment, because she’s right I do need to leave already. I take them to the guest room, and then I walk into mine. They don’t even say anything about roses around the place. Which makes me think more.

My mom walks into my room as I’m changing and I don’t even cover up. She knows how I look naked. I finish putting on the dress. My mom passes me the heels, and I thank her. After I put on all the extra accessories, I look in the mirror. And I feel like throwing up. I see my mom stand behind me, and wipe a tear off. I narrow my eyes at her.

“Why are you crying?” I turn around to face her.

“Oh you know me, I get emotional about everything.” she smiles.

“Mom there is nothing to be emotional about. I should be the one whose emotional. Considering what I’m about to do.” I say.

“You should go now, you don’t want to be late for your surprise.” I nod and she hands me my clutch. I give her a light kiss on the cheek and walk out.

-

I walk inside the restaurant, and the hostess, smiles at me. Just great everyone around me is happy!

“Hello may I help you?” I nod

“I’m meeting my boyfriend Peter.” I slightly smile at her. Her eyes widen.

“Ah yes this way please.” she motions me to follow her. I sigh and follow her. She stands in front of a black door, and opens it. No one is in the room. Just a table and candles all around it. Something is not right. I look back but the girl closed the door already. I walk over and take a seat, and go over what I’m planning to tell him. The door opens making me look up from my lap. Peter walks in, but somethings off. He looks nervous. Scared even.

“Babe.” he says and I stand up. He walks over to me, and kisses me. Hard. Is he ok? I hold on to his arms, as he deepens the kiss. This is going to be harder than I thought. He helps me take a seat, which isn’t needed, but he’s always been a gentlemen with me.     

“Look I-” We both say at the same time, and I motion for him to go first. I think my heartbreaking can’t wait a bit longer.

“Look babe, I know we’ve known each other for like six months. But I feel like I’ve known you for years. And you know I love you with all my heart. I’ve already spoken to your parents, and they gave me their blessing. So here it goes. Gwen Millian, will you please make me the happiest man in universe and marry me.” he pulls out a small black box from inside his blazer, and opens it to reveal a ring. What the fuck?
