CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO | HAPPINESS IS ALL THAT MATTERS

✡✡✡

I gasped.

The mini cafe was dark, however, there were candles lit and placed around to set the mood. There were lights hung around, more specifically, fairy lights to give the cafe a shine. There was a square table set in the middle of the coffee shop, four chairs around it. The other chairs were taken away to god knows where making it look empty. The windows had blinds over them, making the room look darker.

Someone put their hand on my back, making me flinch, although it was only Xavier. He led me to the table, pulling out the chair and gesturing for me to sit. "I'm your waiter today, my name is Xavier and--,"

"I already knew that," I interrupted. 

He rolled his eyes, "Okay, I don't know how to be serious. I'm your waiter, and bam that's it. Your boyfriends will come out soon too, there just getting ready."

"Okay," I said, before instantly heating up from what he said, "wait, Xavier, they're not my boyfriends!" 

He hummed, "Yet."

I sighed.

"So, did you help the guys?" I asked, tapping my fork on the table. 

He sighed in annoyance, "They're going to take all the credit, but, I pretty much did all the work."

"Like what? Be specific," I told him.

"I moved this table in the center."

I waited for him to continue, but he didn't and stared at me. "That's it...?" I pondered, snorting quietly so he couldn't hear. 

"Yeah."

I nodded, "I'm proud of you."

Suddenly his watch went off, "Ah, that's my time. I'll be taking my leave, Ms. Mayfair." He bowed politely, before walking off into the staffs only room. 

I sighed, looking down at my lap. My heartbeat was uncontrollable, I was so nervous it was unbelievable. My hands were getting sweaty, and I was scared. I wonder how the boys are feeling. Are they feeling what I'm feeling? That's when a cough was heard, making me look up.

There stood the guys, also looking nervous, even Jaxon and he's... Jaxon. 

Carter was wearing a black dress shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. With this, he was wearing white skinny jeans, paired with black Converse. His expression was calm, but I could tell he was a little nervous. His hands were shoved into his pockets, as he kept shifting his weight. His eyes bored into mine until I looked to where Jaxon was.

Jaxon was wearing a maroon dress shirt, paired with black skinny jeans and wearing a pair of white Converse. He had multiple necklaces, around three. His expression wasn't calm at all, he looked as if he was panicking. He kept rubbing the back of his neck, his eyes switching from the ground, up to me, left or right. 

My eyes landed on Ethan. He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt, black skinny jeans and he was the only one wearing Vans out of the three. His expression was calm as always, not showing any emotion, but by his eyes, I could tell he was shy. He shuffling right to left, the tiniest action I could figure out.
