Who Wooed Who?

Twin Rings

"Ok what's next Bro?"

"All done" replied Louis.

"I guess we missed frozen beef" remained Zayn.

Louis told that he will fetch it so Zayn can go to the counter for billing. He was nervous as he didn't know how to bring it up to Zayn, he wanted to but he has no idea how. He exhaled sharply thinking he has to improvise on the way. After billing they walked to the parking lot. Louis took his seat behind the wheels and started the car. He decided to bring up a conversation on Zayn's art works to distract him from noticing the different route. Sadly, Zayn did.

"Lou you missed the turning now it's an extra half an hour journey" stated Zayn.

"Oh Sorry, I forgot" replied Louis nonchalantly.

Zayn gave a questioning look and shook his head when Louis avoided reacting back.

"Music?" asked Zayn.

But Louis said nothing and remained silent. His head was pre occupied with the thoughts of proposal and he was stressed about telling Zayn. Zayn turned on the music anyway. And Jason Derulo's 'Marry Me' was already playing.

"And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
'Cause I have you, girl I have you
So get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be
Better, better
The day when I say

I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me

I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me

Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh

Would you marry me baby?"

Zayn was enjoying the song but Louis wasn't.

"Only if it was this easy" Louis breathed.

Zayn was done with Louis weird behaviour. He wanted to know what the hell was going inside Louis' head. He turned to ask "Bro what's-" but was cut by Louis saying, "We are here".

Zayn looked out the window to see they were in front of "London Diamonds". He beamed in happiness. Everyone knows how much Zayn is found of accessories. He hugged Louis by the side and said "Aw, you guys are finally getting me a wedding gift."

Louis raised a brow and replied "Dude, we got you guys honeymoon tickets for a fishing trip to Iceland and your marriage was a year ago."

Zayn withdrew himself from the hug with a long face.

Louis continued, "This is something different Zee and I have been meaning to tell you for a while now" he finished with his voice dropping into a low tone.

Zayn turned to face Louis to find his friend sitting tensed and nervously fidgeting the hem of his shirt.

"Lou? Babe, what's going on?" Zayn asked being concerned if anything was bothering his friend.

Louis took a moment to collect his breath and said, "I am going to ask Harry to marry me". He forced the words out of his mouth 'cause telling Zayn is a step forward and there will be no backing from there. He knows Zayn will be by his side all the time and give him the strength to take the other steps. It scared him a bit but also made him happy. He felt like a weight as been lifted of his shoulders.

"Oh My God!"

"Yeah" replied Louis with a weak smile.

"This means I get to wear my best tuxedo again" Zayn gleamed.
