I had woken up the next day and immediately checked the ring finger of my left hand. Nope! No ring there. I had walked downstairs to join the rest at breakfast. When they saw me they knew something was up.
B: You look weird. What happened? Did you had a bad dream?
C: It was a dream, but no, I wouldn't call it bad.
El: What was it about? I can help you figure it out. I'm pretty good at this.
Lo: No, she's not.
El: Oh shush!
C: I'd rather not.
Great! Now I have everyone's attention.
Lo: Spill it.
C: Okay. I was sitting with you Zayn on the couch. It was after we found out you all left, thanks for that btw. So we sat there and I don't exactly know how it happened but, okay don't laugh, but Zayn you kinda... well, you kinda proposed to me.
Everyone sat there dumbfounded, forks stopped mid-air and if it wasn't in the middle of winter I'm sure you'd heard chirping noises.
C: Won't anybody say anything?
Bridget blinked, otherwise the room remained motionless.
C: Okay, well thanks for making me feel awkward. Yet again!
I grabbed my plate and went to sit down in the living room. Zayn followed me and sat next to me. He didn't speak at first, clearly unable to form a sentence.
Z: Why did you say we shouldn't laugh? I thought you had one of your weird dreams. This isn't weird.
C: I'm terrified, and you're not helping.
Z: You can relax. I won't propose to you on this trip. I'm saving it for later.
C: How much later?
Z: When you're ready.
C: Good! ... Good. Wow! I was scared there for a minute. Not that I... I mean, I would, but it's too soon, right? You agree with me, right?
Z: Yes.
C: Good! ... Good.
Z: Alright. I'm going to back to the others. You coming?
C: Yeah, I'll be right over.
I smiled faintly and stuffed my mouth with El's porridge before Zayn had a chance to say something else. When he disappeared I took my phone out and texted Becca.
To Becca:
Emergency. Need 2 talk. Be over at 3.
I hit <send> and put my phone away as I made my way back to the kitchen. I waited for a couple minutes before I received a reply from fer.
From Becca:
Omg what happened? Is something wrong?
To Becca:
No, everything's fine.
