Potent love

Chapter 17

It's been a week since Riker proposed to Vanessa and she said yes. They decided to start planning their big day immediately.

And by they decided I mean they decided Ross and I would start planning the wedding immediately while the happy couple spent some alone time together, if you know what I mean. I would be spending the whole day with Ross, I guess dreams really do come true.

It was early in the morning when Ross arrived at my house. And by early, I mean really early.

Like the crack of dawn early. It was 4:46 in the morning when he entered my house with a giant purple binder tucked under his arm.

His blonde hair was a bird nest and there were dark bags under his eyes. How is it even remotely possible for him to look even cuter?
"Sorry for being here so early, Laur," Ross croaked.
"Riker was being a pain in my ass and I just had to get out of the house. Do you mind if we start the wedding planning now, I don't think I can go back to sleep." I nodded in understanding.
"Sure."

"Ross...Ross...ROSSS!," I shouted, pushing him off his chair. He groaned and rubbed his head, pulling himself off the ground.
"What?," He grumbled.
"Can we stop for lunch? It's already 2:00," I asked.
"Sure, what do you have in the fridge?," Ross asked. I walked over to the fridge and peered inside.
"Nothing, nothing and...nothing," I said, closing the fridge door.
"I guess we're going out," Ross said, grabbing his car keys.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"Please, just try one. For meee," I whined, waving the onion ring in his face.
"Laur, you know that's not fair. You know I'd do anything for you."
"Prove it. Try an onion ring."
"Fineee." Ross snatched the onion ring from my hand and quickly shoved it into his mouth. His eyes popped out of his head and he greedily reached for the rest of my onion rings.

I smoothly pulled the container holding my onion rings out of his reach. He pouted at me.

I stuck my tongue out at him and laughed.

"Okay so does Vanessa want orchids or roses for the wedding?," Ross asked me once we were back home.
"Orchids and they have to be purple," I added. He nodded and wrote it down in the big purple binder he entered my home with.
"Hey guys!," Vanessa boomed entering the house, ruffling Ross' hair as she passed him. He glared at her.
"What have you guys been up to?," She asked, making her way towards the fridge.
"Planning your wedding," I answered.
"All day," Ross added.
"Wait, you guys have been doing this all day?" We nodded.
"Wait here," Vanessa said and pulled out her phone, heading out the front door.
Vanessa's POV
"Hey, love. What's up?," Riker's voice spoke through my phone.
"Did you know our siblings were planning our wedding all day?," I asked.
"That's where Ross went? Man I must have really been annoying him for him to leave and plan our wedding."
"I think we should take them out," I spoke.
"How about the movies?"
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"Okay you two let's go," I said, pulling Ross and Laura our of the house.
"Where are we going?," Laura asked.
"You'll see."
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
"Thanks for taking us to the movies guys," Ross said, throwing out his cup once filled with sprite.
"Yeah really. It was sweet of you to do that," Laura chimed in.
"It's the least we could do, after all you spent the whole day planning our wedding," Riker said, opening the passenger door for me. I smiled and pecked him on the cheek as a thank you. I fastened my seatbelt and turned around to talk to Laura about the movie but immediately closed my mouth.

Ross and Laura were fast asleep. Laura's head was on Ross' shoulder and his was on her head.

Their hands loosely intertwined. I smiled to myself and turned back around facing the road.

Only thinking about the day where I will start a new chapter in my life with the love of my life.
