CH 57 - Proposals

Phana POV

"How rich is Yo?" Beam asks looking around, wide-eyed.

I take deep breaths; it was getting better but I still preferred misting with Yo.

"I was worried he married you because you're a doctor." Beam carries on. "But now I'm sure you married him for his money..."

"Beam." Kit sighs.

"Fine, love and past lives I know." Beam ooh and ahhs peaking around. "But why the hell are you proposing to him in his house?"

Why did I let him come? I hope they finished building the water feature around the pirate ship and I can drown Beam in it.

"It's our house." I head for the gardens. "I was going to build it for Yo but I didn't get the chance."

"But you didn't, so it's Yo's..."

"Technically." P'Poppy manages to silence Beam for a second. "It's both of theirs. When Wayo brought Phana home after he turned him, he had his name added to the deed."

I stop and stare at her, she pats my cheek walking past. He really did, I can't help smiling as I start walking again. Even back then, I planned to have both our names on the papers for this house.

I look around the garden impressed, it's almost done, everything how it should have been. The peach trees are fully grown, as though they had been planted long ago, the stones and bricks match, the wood and panels used are perfectly dated. Like it had always been this way.

"It meets your approval?" P'Poppy smiles.

"It's perfect." I say looking around. "The way I wanted it to be."

The only thing unfinished was the pirate ship gazebo, people walking around the water adding waterlilies and the bridge rails were being carefully measured and cut.

"Will it be ready by tonight?"

"It will be." P'Poppy answers.

"Remember the lights and...

"I have your list, everything will be done." P'Poppy stops me.

"The paintings?"

"Restored and framed, they will be in the music room as you wanted."

I had the full weekend free, I wanted to spend time here with Yo. Just the two of us. Today we were just dating but tomorrow, he would be my fiance.

"And the flag?" I ask. "It has to be on top of the ship."

She motions and someone arrives with the folded cloth, I smile opening it.

"Is that a chicken...?" Beam asks turning his head to look around. "And rose cross bones...?"

"Parrot." I correct.

"It's defiantly a chicken..."

"Do not say that to my Yo." I glare at Beam in warning.

He designed it, Yo had been upset when his mother had mistaken it for a chicken too, refusing to talk to her and went to bed without eating. She stayed up that night and made the flag for him, he came running to show me, bouncing around happily.

"Why make him a pirate ship in the garden?"

"Beam..." Kit gives him a warning look which is ignored.

"It's called being romantic." I glare at Beam. "You won't understand."

"Shut it Pha." Beams annoyed. "I'm romantic."
