WHAT ABOUT A WEDDING?
Gus took a deep breath and looks around, while tap nervously his fake knee, then, he looked at his girlfriend and smiled easily. The girl was still shocked over the news she just received.
"Hazel Grace, you think we will ever get married? One day, i mean" he asked and in response, Hazel give him a look and for a second, he thought she would slap him.
"Augustus, what kind of question is this?" She asked a bit angry
"the one who demand to be answered. Come on Hazel Grace, I'm trying to take your mind out of the conversation we just have" he said and she shocked her head in disapproval.
Just two minutes ago, he told her the cancer was back, that he was dying and then, all of a sudden, he was asking her about marriage, or marriage proposal.
''Augustus, You're being a bit childish, I guess.'' Hazel tried to scold him
''by all means. Hazel Grace, I'm trying to do is make you forget what was said here. The cancer is back, but that does not mean I'm going to die in the next five minutes, so can we talk about something else? I don't want to see you sad'' he said and she took his hand
''okay. Sorry for snapping. Let's discuss this while walking back to the hotel''
''okay'' he agreed with a kiss and they start walk back to the hotel ''so, again, what you think about a wedding. You will marry me if we survive?''
''i…don't know if my parents would allow me to marry a crazy guy like you…but…'' the comment made Gus laugh ''we, suppose that A) we survive; and B) I still need Phillip's help, I don´t think he will match with a wedding dress, I think it would be more appropriate to get married at the registry office with our everyday clothes''
''not much romantic, but, if it´s what you want, it´s okay for me… but I don´t give up the party and especially the dance with you'' the boy said ''you know how to dance, are you?''
''no'' Hazel said ''but I can learn''
''great! Hey, we can enter some dance lessons, to distract a bit, what you think? We can even ask Isaac to come with us''
''I don´t know if Isaac even likes to dance, but yeah, we can try… at least we can make him stop mopping around Monica'' Hazel agreed
''deal'' Gus agrees ''so, Hazel Grace?! You marry me? Let's say, we survive''
''then, I do. If we survive, I do. It will be my honor'' Hazel give him a kiss on the cheek, as they approached a very worry Mrs. Lancaster
''were have you two been? I was getting very worry'' the woman said upset
''sorry Mom, we lost track of time'' Hazel apologized
''Mrs. Lancaster, it was my fault'' Gus confessed and Hazel looked at him with wide eyes, thinking, for a second he would tell her about their lost virginity, but don´t ''we were talking about marriage. After we survive cancer, I will like to ask Hazel´s hand in marrige''
For a second, Mrs. Lancaster seemed confuse, but then, she smiled to her daughter and Augustus and patted their shoulders ''it will be wonderful and I can´t wait to see you walking down the sale'' she said and Hazel blushed ''but we need to go back home first and if we don´t get to the airport In an hour, we´re going to miss the plane'' Mrs. Lancaster warned and Hazel couldn't help but laugh, even though she didn´t actually forgot the gravity of the news she just received.
