We'll Make it as a Quintette (on hold)

Chapter 9: Engagement

~HARRY'S POV.~

Zayn parks his car as close to the Tiffany store as possible, we all get out and rush inside. "Have at it," Zayn says, he and Niall stick with me but Liam mumbles something and wanders off.

~LIAM'S POV.~

We enter the Tiffany store and I say, "I'll be back," I wander off. I go and look at some rings and I find a really nice one that Niall would definitely like. I make a tough decision, I'm going to propose to Niall, right after Harry proposes to Louis. Niall and I haven't been together for a super long time, but long enough. "Excuse me," I say, getting the attention of the employee behind the counter, "I'd like to buy this ring."

"Sure," the person says, "Would you like an engraving?"

I think for a second, "Could I have tomorrow's date engraved on it?" I ask, I'm not sure that Harry will propose to Louis tomorrow, but I figure he will, considering the fact that he's very impatient.

"No problem," the person says, they take the ring back too a room and come out about five minutes later. He brings it to a register, it's in a nice ring box, he takes it out and shows me, "Is this good?" he asks.

"That's perfect," I say admiring the ring with tomorrow's date on it.

The employee pushes some buttons on the register and a little screen reads: Band Ring £4,900, "That will be £4,900," the employee says, I pay the man and he gives me a bag with the ring in it, I stuff it in my pocket to conceal it from the boys.

~HARRY'S POV.~

I'm still looking at rings when Liam comes back, I haven't had any luck, "You seem like you're struggling," Liam says, "there's nice rings over there," he says, pointing in the direction he just came from.

"Thanks mate," I say and walk over to where he was. I look in the glass counter and see it, the ring. I look at what it's called, it's a Channel-set Band Ring, it's perfect. "Hello?" I say to the person behind the counter.

"Can I help you?" they ask.

"Yes," I say, "I'd like to purchase a Channel-set Band Ring."

"Alright," they say cheerfully, "would you like that engraved?"

"Yeah," I say, I stop and think for a moment, "I want it to say: Larry is forever."

"How would you like Larry spelled?" she asks, most likely because they sometimes misspell names.

"L-A-R-R-Y."

"Alright, I'll be back soon," they say and disappear into a separate room. Zayn nudges me and holds up his hand for I high five.

I give him one excitedly, "Nice one mate," Liam says, commenting my rug selection.

"Thanks," I say. The person comes out of the room and leads us to a register.

"Do you like it?" she asks, showing me the ring, I look at the engraving and the pretty diamonds set beautifully in the ring.

"That's perfect," I say, Liam chuckles and I glare at him.

The employee punches some buttons on the register, "That'll be £4,900," they say. I whistle at the high price and Liam chuckles again, so I glare at him again.

"Louis better like this ring," I say to myself as I pay, "thank you," I tell the person. The boys and I leave the store and pile back into Zayn's car.

"So, when are you gonna do it?" I hear Liam ask from the back as the car starts to move.

"Tomorrow," I say smiling and turning the ring box in my hands. We sit in silence until we get to the complex, "I'm just gonna go to my flat if you don't mind," I say.
