SURPRISE
LPOV:
"You know they're going to kill us right." Bo laughs cuddling up next to me in the back of the cab as we head to the Dhal to tell everyone the good news. Bo and I got home late from the Maldives last night so we arranged to meet up with everyone to talk about the trip and obviously to let them all know about our engagement.
"I know but it'll be worth it." I say pulling up her hand and kissing her ring.
"I still can't believe we're getting married." She says burrowing herself deeper into my neck while looking down at her hand.
"Best decision I've ever made."
"So not to sound too eager but any ideas for when you'd want to get married?" She asks.
"I'm a fan of winter and summer weddings, a nice snowy background while we say I do or maybe standing on a stunning white beach. What would you prefer?"
"I'm not sure." She sighs happily. "But we've got plenty of time, no rush."
"No rush at all. There's no need to turn into those crazy people that go mad with wedding plans that their hair starts to fall out." I cringe thinking about watching all those Bridezilla shows that Kenzi made us all sit through.
"I agree, lets enjoy this engagement." She says kissing my jaw.
We both sit in silence for a little while and I find myself thinking back to the look on Bo's face when I popped the question, her face was full of surprise that soon turned to utter joy. I'm soon pulled from my thoughts when Bo lets out a loud, abrupt laugh. "What?"
Bo stifles her laugh and points out the window. "Show time." She says as I look out the window and see us pulling into the Dhals car park. She pays the cab driver and pulls me out of the car.
"Here we go." I mumble as we enter the Dhal. As we enter the bar I spot our family drinking at the bar with the exception of Matt and Sarah who are stood at the pool table trying to teach little Ivy the game.
"HEYYYY…LOOK WHOS BACK." Kenzi shouts running over to us both. She hugs us both as our family gather round us for welcome back hugs.
"Did you bring me anything?" Ivy says tugging on my jacket as she grins up at me.
I crouch down and pinch her little cheeks earning myself a cute giggle. "We did bring you home a present but can you hold on a second?" I ask and she nods happily. "Good girl."
I stand back up and wrap my arm around Bo's waist. "So Bo and I have something to tell you all. I know it might be a shock but it's someth…."
"WE'RE ENGANGED." Bo screams holding up her hand before I can finish.
"OH MY GOD." Kenzi and Sarah scream and charge at us both. Matt and Hale soon join in with the congratulatory hugs.
I look over Hales shoulder to see Liv with a face full of shock and Jen with her hands on her hips. I pat Hale on the back before walking over to them both making sure to hold in my laughter. "Do I not get a hug?" I grin holding my arms out.
"You little shit, I can't believe you were able to keep this from us." Jen says breaking out into a smile. "Congratulations Lauren." She says giving me a hug.
"Thanks Jen, sorry I didn't say anything but I wanted Bo to be the first to know."
"Don't apologies you divvy, you wanted a special moment between you and your girl." She tells me before looking over her shoulder and seeing Liv still stood there. "Olivia." She hisses reaching back to smack her stomach.
Liv scowls at Jen before walking over to us, she stops in front of me and before I can even react she slaps the back of my head. "Owww. Liv what the fuck." I groan rubbing the sore spot.
"That's for not telling your best friend you were going to propose." She huffs. "And this is for growing a pair." She says bringing me into a tight hug. "Oooooh I'm so proud of you." She coos into my ear and rocking us side to side.
"Alright alright." I groan pulling back from the hug. "You're making me dizzy."
"Big baby." She mumbles making her way over to Bo. "Congrats Bo, she finally plucked up the courage then."
"Yep and it was well worth the wait." Bo says holding up her hand to show off the ring.
"Whoa…you're blinding me with that thing." She says grabbing Bo's hand. "Is it real?" Liv asks bringing it to her mouth and pretending it bite into it.
"Yes its real, now get off you weirdo." Bo laughs pulling her hand back and pushing her head away.
I feel another tug on my leg and find Ivy staring up at me again. "What's up kiddo? You want your present." I ask lifting her into my arms.
She shakes her head causing her pigtails to whack me in the face. "Why was everyone screaming?" Ivy asks with a confused pout.
"Well I love Aunty Bo to the moon and back so we're going to get married."
"Okay." She nods wiggling out of my arms and running back to the pool table.
"Glad you're happy about that." I mumble joining the group at the bar.
As soon as I arrive Kenzi hands me a shot of something bright green. I stare at her with wide eyes and she just shakes her head at me. "Don't ask, but don't worry it won't kill you." She grins.
"A toast to my beautiful best friends Bo and Lauren, two incredible people that are absolutely perfect for each other and who will most definitely make the most beautiful brides…apart from me of course. CHEERS." Kenzi finishes raising her shot glass. We all laugh along and down our own shots and end up nearly choking, what on earth is in this thing.
"You know I've already forgiven you for keeping this from me." Liv says placing her shot glass down.
"Oh yeah and why is that?"
"Because I just thought about one of the best things about getting married." She grins. "The mother fucking hen party." Liv cheers.
"Oh no. No way, you are not organizing that." I tell her shaking my head.
"Oh yes I am, you owe me bitch and I can see it all now. I'm thinking drinks, party bus, more drinks, food, more drinks, dancing, even more drinks and to top off the epic night, the beautiful cherry on top…strippers." She laughs gleefully and claps her hands.
"Olivia I am not going to see lap dancers. I'm perfectly happy with what I've got at home, Bo's the only one I want to see naked." I tell her pulling Bo close to me.
"You're the best." Bo whispers against my lips.
"Ugh." Liv gags. "You're so boring Lewis, I had the whole thing planned out."
"Excuse me. Why do you want to see other women naked?" Jen asks with her arms crossed.
Liv freezes and stares back at her wife with wide eyes and I can see the wheels turning with her thinking about how she can get out of this one. "No Me? No…no I didn't, I mean I don't to…I don't want to, I only said it because I thought Lauren would want that." She rambles but realizes she's getting nowhere so tries win her over with the puppy dog eyes.
"Nope that won't be working, have a nice night in the spare room." Jen smiles sweetly while grabbing her beer.
"Oh well done Lauren." Liv says sulking off to the pool table.
"I think you've upset her." Kenzie laughs watching Ivy pat Liv on the head then going back to playing pool and ignoring her pouting.
"She'll get over it but you know she's definitely not planning any party of any kind for us." I tell Jen.
"No problem I'll keep her under control. You should both just have a joint party."
"I don't care what we do, I'm just happy to be marrying this one." I lean down and gently brush my lips against her soft ones. It's been one week since I proposed to Bo and I can't believe it actually happened. I'm marrying the girl of my dreams.
A/N: I know this chapter is pretty short it's just a bit of a filler until the big day. Also the wedding chapter won't take too long, I'm taking my time to create a nice long chapter.
