The Dilemma
Summary: This is set a couple of months after the previous chapters. Taylor has a very important question she wants to ask Summer, but what will her response be?
Chapter 8- The Proposal
Taylor had been doing a lot of thinking, which normally for her isn't such a good thing, she knew she loved Summer more than anyone else in her life. However, she was dreading what she was about to do, because she was scared of how Summer was going to react. The truth was, she wanted to ask Summer to marry her but wasn't sure whether Summer would think it was too soon in their relationship. Then she thought to herself: "I suppose I won't know unless I ask her".
She spent most of that day trying to avoid Summer, just to make sure she didn't spoil the surprise. She went to the nearest jewellery store and decided to buy a ring that was fairly expensive so it showed Taylor cared, but wasn't too expensive so Taylor could actually afford it. She saw the ring she wanted and bought it. The guy at the jewellery store looked slightly confused. Taylor then explained: "It's for my girlfriend". The guy then understood but didn't seem to judge her, which was a relief as Taylor was sick and tired of being judged just because she was a lesbian. When she left the store she phoned Summer and said: "Are you at home, 'cos I need to talk to you". "Yeah I'm at home" Summer replied, looking slightly worried. "Good, I'll be back in a few minutes.
Sure enough, Taylor was back in just a few minutes. Summer said to her: "OK, do you want to tell me what you were going on about earlier?" Taylor sat down and said: "I have something I need to ask you". Taylor then reached into her pocket and took out the ring. As she did it she got down on one knee, which made Summer even more confused. Then she asked her the question: "Summer Roberts, will you marry me?"
A look of shock and delight came across Summer's face, she didn't need very long to think: "Yes, yes of course I will" she said, before excitedly hugging Taylor. With that they shared a lingering, intimate kiss before hugging again. "Oh my god, I can't believe this is actually happening" Taylor said with her arms around Summer. "Me neither, I can't believe we're actually getting married" replied Summer.
They may have only been together for a couple of months, but they both knew it was what they wanted. They decided they wanted to get married within a few weeks, but wanted to spend a lot of money on the wedding. After all, they only wanted to do it once and it was the most important day of their lives. Now all they had to do was tell everyone the good news
How will everyone react to the news? Will anyone try to spoil it? Will their parents turn up? So many questions, all of which will be answered in the final two chapters
