Lakira's Pov-
I woke up to Joey getting ready. He noticed I was awake.

Joey: Good morning princess

He kissed my head.

Lakira: Where you going?
Joey: You mean "where are we going?"
Lakira: Yeah
Joey: I have a surprise

I nodded and got up. Once I was ready, I met Joey downstairs.

Joey: Put the blindfold on
Lakira: Why?
Joey: Just do it
Lakira: Okay Nike

I chuckled and put it on. He led me to the car and started driving somewhere.

We were in the car for about half an hour before he helped me out of the car.

Joey: Okay take it off.
Lakira: Okay- a house?
Joey: Not just any house...

He pointed to the "For sale" sign with a "sold" sign on top of it.

Joey: Ours... if you want
Lakira: Are you serious?!

I was so happy.

Joey: If you want
Lakira: Of course I do!

I jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him. I heard someone snap a picture. Kara and Aaron.

Kara: Got it. There you go Joey.

Lakira: You guys knew?Aaron: Who do you think helped him pick it outJoey: Thank you guys for thatLakira: Wow I cant even speak Joey: You don't have to

Lakira: You guys knew?
Aaron: Who do you think helped him pick it out
Joey: Thank you guys for that
Lakira: Wow I cant even speak
Joey: You don't have to. Your mom has your stuff on the way now.

We went in to check out the place. It was beautiful. A lot of space. I just couldn't believe it. I was moving in with Joey.

Joey: I knew from the moment I saw you that I'd fall hard for you. And I did. 9 months of dating and I already love you so much. I just don't know how to show it.
Lakira: I do....

I got down on one knee. Joey looked so shocked. So did Aaron and Kara.

Joey: Lakira...
Lakira: I knew that I loved you the first time I kissed. I always wanted your presence. It's what made me feel safe. I knew there was no problem with us being together because we wanted each other. Now I don't have a ring but I know I love you
Joey: I love you too
Lakira: which is why I wanna ask you... Joesph Matthew Birlem.... will you make me the happiest women in the world and marry me?
Joey: Yes!

We both started crying.

Aaron: I just recorded that whole thing holy shit!

Joey: Does this mean you wear the pants in the relationship?
Lakira: Oh baby I always did.

We laughed and decided to celebrate. We had everyone meet up at a restaurant and told the news. We all posted the video and it went viral. Some hate obviously but who cares; I'm engaged to the love of my life and I'm happy about it. I love him so much and I can't wait for a future with him.
