Wow, chapter 20... Truthfully didn't think we'd ever get this far.
(Two or three weeks later)
ALMA'S POV
"Happy Birthday!" Mom says, waking me up.
"Mmmooommm. Let me sleep." I grumble, pulling the blankets over my head.
Then.
I.
Smell.
Bacon.
I take another sniff, and I get out from under the covers, looking at the plate in her hands, which has pancakes, bacon, and hash browns on it.
"Oh my god mom. I love you." I exclaim as she hands me the plate.
"Remember, it's a schoolday, and yes, you have to go to school, so eat quick and get dressed." She walks out the door. "Oh, and I think that Ruben boy is picking you up." I smile. "Just between us, I think he likes you." I laugh.
"Mom,have you forgotten that we are dating?" I say.
She laughs. I shovel down my food, and then take a shower and get dressed. I bring my plate down to the kitchen, then go back upstairs, peeking out the window before I do. She's already gone to work, so I take my phone and blast my music, dancing to Fallin' For You by Colbie Caillet. I put on my makeup on carefully, pulling my hair back into a ponytail.
"You ready to go?" I spin around, heart thumping. I turn off my music.
"You couldn't have knocked?" I sigh, hugging him.
"I did, your music was too loud." I roll my eyes, putting on mascara then kiss his cheek.
"Let's go." I say as I grab my backpack.
RUBEN'S POV
I smile as we pull into the parking lot. I shut off the car, and go around the front to open her door. I pick her up by the waist, and set her down. We walk, hand-in-hand, into the building.
Her eyes widen when she walks into the building. The guys, who were more than willing to help, are standing in the hallway, holding a huge banner.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART... It reads. And below that it says PROM? I walk over to stand in front of it. Johnny hands me a bouquet of daisies, her favorite; a white teddy bear; a small rectangle box; and a box of chocolates. I nod at him in thanks.
"Will you go to Prom with me Alma?" I ask, getting down on one knee in front of her. She nods vigorously, tears of happiness running down her face.
I stand up, and she runs, launching herself into my arms. I open my arms just in time, catching and spinning her around.
"I love you." She whispers as I set her down and give her her presents. She smiles. The bell rings."Don't open anything until lunch." I whisper in her ear. She nods, walking off to class after a small peck on her lips.
My boys walk over to me, giving me high-fives.
***
I watch as she carefully opens the box.
"Oh my god! You didn't have to Ruben!" She says when she opens it.
"But I did." I say, kissing her.
Hi!! Haha!!! Cliffhanger!! I'm so mean!!! :P
But please don't hate me! What do you think she got?!?!?! Comment!
Love y'all!
