*A week later*

Lauren's POV

I watch Normani as she sleeps peacefully, tracing over the details of her face careful not to wake her. I trace the outline of her eyebrows, I move down to her eyelids and ghost over them. I pass more places and get down to her lips, I go over the outline of them before using my thumb to rub her bottom lip. I lean in and press mine against hers, I move my lips to other places and she starts waking up.

"Hey sleeping beauty" I smile

"Hey" She chuckles

"How long have you been watching me sleep you stalker?" She asks

"Very funny! Maybe about thirty minutes" I say

"All I felt were fingers probing me you witch" She laughs

"I would never!" I fake gasp

"Oh shit! We should probably tell our parents about the engagement" She says

"It's been a week and you didn't say anything!?" I laugh

"You could've told them too!" She says

"You're making the call" I say

"We're both making the call, stop being a pussy" I say

"You are what you eat" She shrugs

"You-never mind" I say

She grabs her phone and FaceTime's Mama Drea.

"Well look who decides to call, hello girls"

"Hey ma" Mani smiles

"Hey Andrea" I wave

"I can tell y'all called to say something so spill"

"Eager MUCH?" Mani asks

"Get my guy D-Ham" I say

"You say that out loud?" Mani asks

"Shut up hater" I joke

Derrick pops up on the screen and I smile widely.

"Ok ready?" I ask

"Chile speak already" Andrea says

"I was gonna say it now but I'll wait longer" Mani days

"And I will hang up this phone, your call" Derrick says

"Oop" I mumble

"Anyway!" Mani says

She grabs my hand and waves it in front of the camera.

"We're engaged!!" I smile

"OH?! OOHH?!! THAT'S AMAZING!" Derrick grins

"OH MY BABIES! YOU TWO ARE COMING DOWN HERE ON YOUR NEXT OFF DAY!" Andrea says

"Yes mom"

We talk to them for a few more minutes then hang up, talking about some of the wedding.

"So I thought of this the other day, a winter wedding in Cuba" She says

"That sounds great actually" I say

"Choose a month" She says

"December?" I suggest

"Perfect, rose gold dresses" She says

"Rose gold?" I ask

"What's wrong with rose gold?"

"It's just so bright"

"It'S jUsT sO bRiGhT"
