ᵢₘₐgᵢₙₑ ➳ Michael Gray [ON HOLD]

➳ three - the confirmation

《 say yes and you'll figure it out afterwards 》

➳

Arabella cringed slightly as she hid behind the curtain, waiting for Jimmy to announce her presence on the show. She already knew what was going to happen. Jimmy would announce her to the viewers, beat around the bush for a small while before diving into what everyone wanted to know.

Was she truly engaged to Michael Gray?

Well, she was technically engaged to him, she supposed. If her having transferred her little cargo from both her hotel room and Finn's home to Michael's house didn't make it official, what would? She was pretty damn sure that the paps would have captured the scene and were likely having a field day with the new information. That, and she was still wearing the unmissable engagement ring.

"So, without further ado, please welcome my guest for tonight's show, Arabella Grace!" And that was her cue.

With a smile plastered upon her face she skipped out from behind the curtain, waving happily at the cheering live audience. A small squeak left her lips as she rushed up the stairs to Jimmy who enveloped her in a warm embrace.

"Hi!" He cheered loudly in her ear before pulling away.

"Oh my gosh, hello! It's so good to see you, how are you?" Arabella excitedly greeted him as she sat down in the chair that was next to his desk, him sitting behind the desk and grinning at her.

"I'm feeling incredible, especially having you on tonight's show!" Jimmy's volume increased as he got further into the sentence. He applauded as she began to blush at his blatant flattery.

"Ah!" Arabella cupped her cheeks that were beginning to ache slightly from her wide smile, "I've missed you so much!"

She leaned over his desk to engulf him in another hug, him laughing at her as she did so but not rejecting the affection. She pulled away and sat back, unable to stop giggling at the situation she was in as Jimmy stared at her in confusion, but couldn't help but laugh with her.

"What...what's so funny?" Jimmy couldn't hold back his laughter as he watched the girl giggle uncontrollably, struggling to get the words out.

Arabella sighed out as she finally managed to contain her laughter, "I don't know, it just feels weird being back here...you know?" She bit her lip before realising what she had said and her eyes widened. The brunette quickly backtracked, fumbling over her words as to not have offended the man, "Not that it's a bad weird. It's just, um..."

The audience all laughed at her as she buried her face in her hands, whining in embarrassment. A red blush began to peek from between the gaps in her fingers as her body shook with laughter.

"Oh no," She whined and threw her head back, "I'm embarrassing myself already."

"Oh no, never! You...you are the most amusing person!" Jimmy was quick to reply, much to the audiences joy as they cheered at his statement.
