Chapter 14: The Engagement

It had been 2 years since the Prom. Amanda was killed after a year of community service by some gang, so far in Corey's and Laney's relationship they had no problem with their relationship after Prom. Corey was getting prepared for his and Laney's 5 year anniversary. Today he was going to propose to her! He looked at himself in the mirror nervously fixing up his hair. He was wearing a grey t-shirt and blue trousers without his beanie.

"I hope Lanes would say yes, but what happens if she says no? I mean if she says yes maybe we can start a family." Corey said to himself as the pink-haired girl came downstairs with her boyfriend Daniel.

"Little brother are you ok?" Katrina asked him.

"Just nervous." Corey said playing around with his hands.

"Awww Corey there's nothing to be nervous about. She is going to love it!" Katrina squealed with happiness as she skipped. Corey went back looking into his mirror fixing his hair.

"You can do this Corey its just one small question." Corey said talking to himself. Corey had put the engagement ring inside his pocket and started calling Laney.

Meanwhile, Laney was on her laptop watching some videos. She had heard her phone ring and had immediately picked up her phone which was Corey.

L:Hey Core

C:Hey Laney Waney

L:Seriously you needed to call me that?

C:Course it's been a long time since I saw your beautiful face.

L:Aww your so sweet.

C:Hey would it be alright if you meet me at the park now please.

L:Yh sure, see you in a bit.

Laney had hanged up getting ready meeting Corey closing her laptop and putting on her boots. She went to her mirror fixing her hair by putting it down past her shoulders. She had left the house grabbing Corey's present.

*TO THE PARK TRANSITION*

Corey was sitting on his bench looking at his watch seeing if Laney is coming. Couple minutes later he saw Laney smiling as she came closer to him each second. Laney wrapped her arms around Corey and kissed him on the lips.

"So what's the big emergency you needed to tell me about." Laney said stroking his hair.

"Oh I just wanted to spend time with my girl since it's our 5th year anniversary." Corey smiled making Laney giggle.

"Oh so you do remember our 5th year anniversary." Laney poked his nose.

"Well of course I did and that's why I told you too meet me at the park because I have a special surprise for you." Corey winked at her making her blush.

"Really what is it?" Laney said excitedly.

"You'll have to wait and see, now I'm going to put on this blindfold." Corey put the blindfold over Laney's eyes making her not see a thing.

"Core where are you?" The red head said losing her balance landing onto Corey.

"I'm right here,don't worry I'll hold your hand I promise." Corey held her hand and started walking with one arm around her shoulder and one hand on her hand.

*SUP SUP SUPRISE TRANSITION*

Corey and Laney finally reached the place where they were surrounded by a humongous hot air balloon. Corey smiled as he took the blindfold of Laney who still had her eyes closed.

"Um Lanes you can open your eyes now." Laney opened her eyes seeing how amazing the place looked.

"Corey, is this my surprise?" Corey nodded as Laney's eyes grew bigger seeing how amazing the hot air balloon was. She hugged him tightly for a minute until they released each other. Laney noticed Corey had a bag of food inside the bag, so the couple had got onto he air balloon and sat next to each other with Corey's arm around Laney's shoulder.

"Core,although this is a nice surprise I'm scared of heights so I was just asking if you would hold me tight until the ride is over." Laney asked her blue haired boyfriend who had just smiled.

"Course Lanes anything for you." Corey grabbed her holding her tightly making sure she weren't scared.

"Thanks Core." Laney smiled putting her head onto his shoulder.

They have been flying for about half an hour of peace and quiet with no one ruining their moment.

"So do you want to start eating?" Corey asked her.

"Umm sure my stomach wants me to eat anyways." Laney said making her and Corey laugh. Corey had gotten out a bag that has strawberries, chocolate brownies and pokey sticks. They were both eating the food they had in front of them while Laney had a bit of strawberry around her lips.

"Ummm you got a little something there." Corey pointed out as Corey slowly put his hand onto Laney's cheek. He put his lips on hers and slips his tongue onto her lips licking of the strawberry.

"Wow your lips taste like strawberry's." Corey smiled as Laney blushed.

*STRAWBERRY'S ARE DELICIOUS TRANSITION*

Corey and Laney was in the hot air balloon watching the purple sky with some black in the background.

"So do you wanna open our presents." Laney suggested breaking of the silence.

"Umm sure." Corey shrugged but had sweat pouring down his head.

"Here you can open yours first." Laney gave him a present, so he had opened the present which was golden picks saying his name.

"Awww Lanes thanks." Corey hugged her tightly as she hugged her back.

"It's no problem." Laney replied. Corey was getting more nervous by each second making his body nervous. Soon Laney saw Corey nervous making her worried.

"Core, are you ok." She said touching his forehead. "You seem kind of hot."

"Yh I'm fine." Corey got up and went on one knee and grabbed both of Laney's hands.

(In italic is Corey's speech)

"Laney when I first met you, I always knew you would be the one who would steal my heart. When I first laid eyes on you I would always get lost in them. I guess I was too shy to tell you how I felt. I started to realize that I was an idiot dating Amanda that I wanted to spend my entire life with you. You helped me setting up the band and telling me how my crazy plans won't work,but I realised I was too oblivious to know what you were trying to say. Every time I play the riff on my guitar, you inspire me to rock on. Laney Penn I had and always will love you. I want to wake up everyday seeing your beautiful face with your perfect green eyes, long shiny red hair a cute smile and with your small nose to nose boop. So will you do the horner of marrying me?"

Corey had got up looking at Laney's face who had happy tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Yes." Laney quietly said. "A million times yes!" Laney screamed wrapping her arms around Corey's neck kissing him passionately on the lips. Corey slid the ring onto Laney's finger.

"I love you Corey!" Laney confessed.

"I love you too Lanes." They both enjoyed their journey on the hot air balloon looking at the beautiful deep sky with Laney's head on Corey's chest and Corey's arms around Laney's body.

First they become best friends, then boyfriend and girlfriend and now they are engaged!
