Thanksgiving...
Nigel's View
Everyone was comeing over to me and Lizzie's new house to celebrate Thanksgiving. While she took the turkey, I set the table.
"Hun, everything looks delicious! I've got to say, I'm beginning to think this Thanksgiving will be special.." I grinned. Special indeed. Lizzie came out with a bowl of whipped potatoes and set them on the nicely decorated table.
"Why do you say that? I've always thought Thanksgiving special.." She said, looking confused. I grinned pulling her into my arms.
"Oh, it is." I said. Lizzie had changed some. Instead of those weird pigtails, she had taken the chance to straighten her hair. And she lost the glasses and tried out contacts. She smiled up at me.
"I love the house! It's so..homey." Lizzie grinned. Suddenly a knock interrupted our little time to ourselves.
"I'll get it, dear." I said, letting go of her and answering the door. It was Kuki and Hoagie. They looked so happy together, compared to how they were a couple months ago.
"Hey Nigel!" Kuki said and gave me a big hug. I laughed and hugged her back.
"Happy Thanksgiving!" Hoagie said, patting me on the back as Kuki had removed her coat and put it on a chair, claiming it hers.
"Wow! Lizzie, Nigel, I love your new house! It's so..homey!" She said. Lizzie laughed.
"That's what I said!" Lizzie claimed. Kuki smiled and giggled. Yup.. everything was normal.
"Anything I can help with in the kitchen, Lizzie?" Kuki asked, entering. Then they started their normal gossip.. Always had been friends and had gotten along well. I considered Kuki my little sister, since she was always hanging around. Hoagie took a seat on the couch next to me.
"So, how is everything? The house looks great!" He said. I nodded.
"Yeah, we got a pretty good deal.. How are you and Kuki?" I asked. Hoagie grinned.
"Awesome.. We do everything together. Last weekend, I went down to work and took her up in the plane with me.. She said it was her ultimate dream to be able to fly in a jet." He said, smirking obviously very happy. I grinned.
"That's great!" I said. The door rang.
"S'probably Abby and Wally.. They're quite the couple these days.." Hoagie said.
"Yeah.. Always holding hands and smiling." I said, getting up and answering the door. Yup, it was them.
"Hey guys! Happy Thanksgiving!" Abby said, giving me a hug. I returned it with a smile. Kuki came out of the kitchen.
"Hey!! Happy Thanksgiving!" She said and gave Abby a big hug. While Lizzie was talking to Abby, Kuki's face fell at Wally. It was true, awkwardness existed between them 2. But they tried not to let it ruin their friendship. Kuki gave him a hug. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and they hugged for quite sometime. You could tell they both missed each other, but of course, their feelings still were changed.
"Happy Thanksgiving Wally.." She said. He nodded.
"Happy Thanksgiving." He said and smiled. I smiled softly and clapped my hands together.
"Alright! The bunch is all together! Is everything ready, Lizzie?" I asked. And her answer was the turkey. She set it on the table and beamed.
"Yup! Let's eat!" Everyone had sat down. I stopped everyone.
"Actually.. I'd like to make a toast." I said. Then instead of picking up my glass of wine, I dug around in my pocket retrieving a small box.. Getting to the floor on my knee, I looked up to Lizzie, the love of my life.
"Lizzie..I love you so much. And I thank you for everything you've done to make everything so much easier.. You're a very big part of my life.. Thank you. Will you marry me?" I asked, nervously but with a smile. Her eyes welled up, her cheeks becoming slightly rosy.
"OH NIGIE! OF COURSE!" Ehh.. Nigie. My nickname she normally didn't use in public anymore. But I grinned, sliding the pink and white jeweled ring on her finger. Lizzie smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck. I kissed her and smiled. Everyone clapped at the table. Kuki was crying, and Hoagie had a thumbs up. Wally was smirking and Abby had a gentle smile on her face. Everyone was happy. And everyone, well the girls at least, forgot about their "diets" and had helpings of 3 and like 4 pieces of pie. It was the best Thanksgiving ever. And I can tell you, I'll never forget it. The way Kuki and Hoagie smile at each other, and the way Abby and Wally hold hands.. The way Lizzie laughs. Everything was alright.
What do ya think!? I was gonna make it Christmas but I didn't want to make to too far away from where I last left off. Besides, Thanksgiving is better cause of the food! But then again you get presents in Christmas. ANYWAY, thanks for all of the reviews. It really boosted my confidence to do another one. I really hope you all enjoyed it. If not, you'll live!
