Drunk & Sober : IN LOVE

Chapter 26

Rebekah's POV:

I sat on the bed while Rex was getting dressed. The boys had finalised on a black blazer with black pants along with a white or black shirt beneath.

He looked at me while he adjusted the cufflinks on his sleeve. I went near him and while adjusting his tie I said, "Maybe we can make the most of this party and get engaged today."

He started coughing and this made me chuckle a bit. I handed him a glass of water and while rubbing his back I said, "I didn't mean to make you feel nervous. I was just kidding."

"You were?", he asked me while he looked at me expectantly. I smiled a bit before saying, "Obviously I was! Do you see us getting engaged within two weeks of our relationship?"

My face was now serious as I looked into his blue eyes trying to read them. "I have absolutely no problem. It's you for me, now or 3 years down the line. Nothing's gonna change", he said while looking down at his tie.

I didn't know what to say and so I just nodded at him giving him the most genuine smile I could muster. Just then my phone rang and it was as if god could sense my embarrassment and had sent a saviour for me.

"It's grandma", I said to him while looking at the screen. "Baby, I got a message from Rey asking if I have an extra tie. Do you mind if I join you later?", he said while holding an extra black tie in his hand.

"No worries. See you later!", I said while kissing him. I then went near the window to receive her call.

After 15 minutes, when I ended the call I saw Austin sitting on my bed with a rectangular box in his hand. "Hey", I said before moving closer to where he was sitting.

"Hey", he said awkwardly while tracing the tattoo that was underneath his sleeve. "You look handsome in formals. Have I ever told you this? And by the way how long have you been waiting?", I said while noticing his green eyes that I was once so fond of.

He chuckled lightly before replying, "Thank you so much Becs. It means a lot coming from you. And it's hardly been 10 minutes since my arrival. By the way I am sorry for enjoying your martini. I could get you one more if you want." I scrunched my eyebrow not exactly remembering when I ordered a martini.

"No thanks. Infact I don't even remember ordering one", I said while smirking at him. "By the way what brought you here to my room today?", I said while breaking the silence.

"Uhh...oh yes! I forgot. Here, take this", he said while giving me the box.

"What is this?", I asked while carefully inspecting the blue velvet box. "See for yourself", he said while passing me a faint smile.

I opened the box and discovered a bracelet with Austin and my initials on it. I traced my finger over the letters and it brought a smile on my face.

"Do you like it?", he asked me nervously. "I love it Austin. Thank you so much."

He then got up from the bed and made his way towards the door. He stopped midway and after turning to look at me he said, "Burgundy suits you Becs. You look beautiful as always!"

As soon as I made my way downstairs Talia looked at me with a surprising look on her face. "Hey Tal! That dress looks pretty on you", I said while I noticed her from head to toe.

She passed me a big grin that somehow looked superficial to me before she asked me, "Are you feeling alright? I mean you aren't feeling ill right?" I gave her a confusing look before adding, "Yes Tal. I am good. Do I look sick?"

She giggled a bit before saying, "No...Nah! You look like an angel in that dress. Maybe I can borrow it sometime." I smiled at her before saying, "Sure"
