Sandra is in awe to see her best friends as a married couple. They look amazing together.
She is smiling so much that her jaws are starting to hurt.
There is another reason why she is feeling awesome. Because she is the main bridesmaid who has caught the bouquet thrown by the bride. She is applauding a lot in excitement.
Suddenly she feels a presence very close to her. She gets stuck in one place after hearing the whispered voice of the person behind her.
" How much do you plan to make me wait, Sandra? "
Dean says, making her shiver.
" Dean... "
Sandra says but she can't complete her sentence.
" What? "
He is still so near her that his every word is making a tingling sensation in her body.
" I...um.."
She again tries to form some words.
" Don't you think we should be there too? Like Lia and Shawn? "
He whispers again in her ear and pulls her closer.
She collides with his solid chest and gasps subconsciously.
" Everybody is around here, Dean... "
She starts talking and he cuts her in the middle.
" So what? Everybody knows you are my girlfriend! "
Dean states the fact.
Sandra blushes at the word "Girlfriend".
After earning a second chance from Sandra, Dean had made sure to do everything that would impress her, and make her feel safe around him.
His diligence truly has regained the place in her heart that is already his.
" I know but.... "
Sandra again talks.
" A girlfriend who hasn't told her boyfriend a proper 'I love you yet!"
He says sadly.
" Why are you like this? You are hurting me!"
Dean huffs like a child.
Sandra turns towards Dean and giggles,
" Awe! How come I am hurting you? "
She says and twitches her eyebrows.
Dean still looks grim. Sandra understands he isn't joking.
Sandra feels sad. Did she hurt Dean a lot because of her shyness?
" You know I love you, Dean! I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner. "
Sandra says with a sad face too.
" I didn't wanna hurt you!"
" Don't be sad now, Sandra! I know you have no intention to hurt me! "
He cups her face.
" I was just faking it to make you confess your love for me! "
He laughs.
" What! "
Sandra glares at him.
" You..."
She raises her hand to hit his arm but he stops her.
" Say those words again!"
He looks so handsome with his urgency.
" I love you, Dean! "
Sandra whispers, becoming hypnotized seeing his green orbs.
" Oh My God! I am so happy! But I need another thing right now! "
Dean exclaims.
Sandra gives him a questioning look.
" Why didn't you answer my first question?"
He asks her.
" Which one? "
Sandra looks confused.
" You don't pay attention to me at all! "
Dean says to her.
" What is it, Dean? "
Sandra asks again.
" Like you are not listening to me when I am saying we also should get married!"
He replies promptly.
" Woah! So straight! "
Sandra says with a surprised face.
" You want me to accept your marriage proposal amidst another marriage ceremony? "
