a great mess ✔️

- Shout Out To Lover of Mine -

A somewhat continuation from
🎉 Man Like Me

So go check it out first if you haven't read it yet 😉 it's completed now anyway :)

That story is my favourite to write and edit so far. It was so close to me in some way 😍 it held some messages that people dear to me always told me at my worse state, it held messages that I, myself, are too afraid to speak out loud but so desperate to pour out, and it also held plenty of things in my perspective 🙃 Like how I think about certain things and how I actually want people want to see that thing like, so go check it out, lemme know what do you think about 😘

"I have a riddle for you" Reece spoke out of nowhere. We were currently having a diner date and it was silence before he suddenly blurted that out.

"What's that?"

"There's a table for 4 people, who have no clue where to sit. There is; You, Me, Will, and Mary. In what order do they sit?"

"You, Me, Will and Mary?"

"No, try again"

"Uh... Will, You, Mary, Me?"

"Yes."

"Uh? Wait, what?" I asked dumbly and he burst out laughing like a maniac.

He got off from his seat and kneeled down beside my seat, holding out a heart-shaped box with a shiny diamond ring with my name on it.

"Oh my god, you better be joking..."

"I already said yes, and you proposed to me, so here's the ring"

"What kind of people doing a proposal like this?" I asked him, giggling in amusement.

"Me. Now, c'mon! Gimme your hand"

"You're forcing me into marrying you. That's not how proposal goes" I giggled even more at his frustrated but amused face.

"I'm not forcing you, you're the one that asked and I just said yes" He reasoned, trying his best to not burst out laughing.

"Are you sure you won't regret this? Once that ring wrapped around my finger, there won't be any retracement"

"Yes, George. That's why I blurt out that riddle in the first place"

"Alright then," I hesitantly give him my right hand and he swiftly slipped the ring into my ring finger. I pulled him up and connected our lips in a sweet, passionate kiss.

"I love you, Georgie!"

"I love you more, Reecey"

I can't believe this is truly happening.
It's been 3 years after the incidents of me being drugged-up and it's been 2 years and 8 months after we moved in together. And today, at our 3 years anniversary, he proposed to me in his own way. It still feels so surreal.

We laid beside each other, chest heaving up and down rapidly as we tried to calm ourselves down. I turned my head to the side, smiling tenderly at Reece.

"Is it just me, or that actually feels like the first time all over again?"

"What? You calling me daddy or ..."

"Shut up, I'm being serious here"

"Why we gotta get so serious? It's not fun"

"Reece..." I gave him the look and he instantly gave in.

"Alright, alright... Yeah, in some way, it is. Happy now?" I nodded like a child, before giggling like a schoolgirl which make him looked at me in amusement.

"C' mere, I wanna cuddle the living shit outta you," He said with his arm wide opened. I gladly scurried over, nuzzling my head into the crook of his neck.

"I can't believe that we're actually gonna get marry" I spoke softly.

"Do you regret it? I mean, we can go back to boyfriends if you're not ready yet or we can be fiancé for forever, that's fine with me"

"No, Reece. Stop worrying a lot. I don't regret anything, it just... feels surreal you know?"

"Why is it feels surreal?"

"I don't know, maybe because of the fact that you actually so willing to spend the rest of your life with a man like me?"

"George, how many times I have to say this? Stop doubting yourself! In fact, I was so grateful to have the chance to spend the rest of my life with someone as amazing as you are."

"But-"

"No, but"

"But Reecey,"

"No, but, the only but I want is your butt, so shut up!" I giggled at his words and let the subject slip, at least for now.
