AN: This one has been asked for by a few of you, so here is the proposal :)
B-POV
I can't help the tears slowly making their way down my face. Sobbing to myself before throwing the phone in my hand clear across the room, not caring if it smashes against the wall or not. I don't bother to look. How could she? I thought we loved each other to the moon and back, but Chloe's been getting distant recently and now this? Her phone kept ringing on her bedside table so I reached over to answer it and the photo ID was a woman i've never even heard of, let alone met. Needless to say I ignored the call, only for her to then text saying she was waiting and that Chloe was late. That she should hurry because her lunch break was only an hour.
I faintly register the sound of the door opening and closing, of Chlo calling my name. But I'm too busy crying and feeling sorry for myself to pay her any attention. She hears me though, I can tell by the way she comes tearing round the corner and into the room, falling to her knees in front of me, like she still cares for me. I bet her and this other woman laugh about me and my ignorance to the situation behind my back. She reaches to dry my tears and I flinch away from her.
"Becs? What's the matter?" I just sniff and curl into myself, the walls that she spent so many years pulling down shoot up again locking down with more security than Fort Knox. She looks around for what could have possibly upset me, her eyes landing on her phone lying on the floor next to the wall, the screen slightly cracked. She frowns before going to pick it up and looking at her texts. I see her put two and two together before coming to sit by me, holding me to her.
"Becs, are you for real? You really think I could ever cheat on you? Me? I'm going to be honest, that kind of hurts." I sniff again and look at her. Desperately wanting to believe her.
"Then who is she? Why are you meeting up in you lunch hours?" She chuckles.
"You didn't read the messages did you." I shake my head, I only saw the preview that popped up on the home screen.
"I didn't want to. I didn't know what they would say." She just sighs at my glum voice.
"Becs, I came back here to get my phone before going to lunch with Abbey, Zaak's girlfriend. You remember, the one I told you about?" I search my memory, trying to remember her mentioning this woman. I feel my cheeks heat up at the memory.
We had been eating Chinese from Su Lin's when she came over all excited, practically bursting. Before she exclaimed, 'Zaak's got a girlfriend, she's called Abbey, but you can't tell mom because he doesn't want her to interfere. He wants to do it all himself, she's so pretty, he showed me a picture. Beca they looked so sweet together. I can't wait for him to propose and see them get married. Just whatever you do, don't tell mom.' I chuckle at her excitement.
'Chlo, if he wanted to keep it a secret then why did he tell you? You're mom will know by the end of the week and I'm not gonna be the one who told her. Jeez, you'd think your own brother would know you're the worst secret keeper ever!' she just huffed and grumbled something about proving me wrong...
I smiled a little. I had been right. It had only taken Chlo two days to tell Momma Beale about Abbey. I can't believe I'd forgotten. I bowed my head in shame.
"I'm sorry Chlo. It's just, you've been distant recently. You haven't been able to stay in the same room as me for more than 5 minutes unless one of us is asleep, and we haven't... been intimate in over a month. I thought maybe, you didn't want me anymore." She sighs again, holding my closer.
"Becs... I'm sorry. I've been planning. Abbey was helping me. I just... I'm sorry. I didn't know I was making you feel like that." I look at her face, she looks crest-fallen and it's all my fault. I shift in her lap and hold her face in my hands, pulling her down for a kiss. It's hot, needy, passionate. Her tongue deppens it, exploring the inner caverns of my mouth. She pulls back breathlessly whispering against my lips, "Marry me." I freeze, still holding her face.
"What?"
"Marry Me. Beca, i've been distant because I was planning the perfect proposal. But I can't do it anymore. It's hurting you, me being distant. I didn't mean to. Abbey was helping me with what to do, please Becs, say yes. Marry Me!"
"Yes. YES! Of course I will Chlo! Is that seriously what you've been planning, why you've been so distant for the last month?" She nods.
"I didn't want to break and tell you. I wanted it to be perfect. I was supposed to be going with Abbey in our lunch break to pick up the ring today and then take you out to dinner in a couple days but I don't think I can now." She leans forward and kisses me again. Our lips staying locked, barely coming up for air for over 15 minutes, only stopping so Chloe can go and answer the incessant knocking coming from the front door. Leaving me alone with my thoughts, a huge smile on my face. Chloe Beale wants to marry me. I'm officially engaged. Chloe is my fiance. She comes back in, her smile matching my own and offers me a hand to pull me up before kissing me again.
"It was Abbey. I told her I forgot my phone and being in the room with you for so long broke me. She knows we're engaged and said for our next lunch you have to come too so you can meet. Oh Becs, I'm so glad you said yes. You can't believe how happy you've made me."
"I think I can. You've made me just as happy, if not more so. I love you Beale."
"Love you too future Beale." We both chuckle before falling back onto the bed, our lips locked again, to celebrate properly.
AN: Okay :) I hope that was alright. If any of you have ideas as to what I should call their son I was planning on having his 'arrival' in the next chapter :) leave your name ideas in a review, pretty please? :P
