"What?" I whispered. I couldn't believe what was happening I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. There was Joe, on one knee, holding out a ring.
"Taylor Allison Swift, I love you. I always have and I promise I always will. I'm sorry about all the mistakes that we made in out relationship, but I don't want to make another one. You're the only person that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I've known that for the past five years. So Taylor, will you make me the happiest man alive and do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes."
"What?" he asked, as he didn't hear me right the first time. "Did you just say yes?"
"Yes Joe I'll marry you." I said louder this time to make sure that he could hear me.
His face broke out into a huge grin. "Really?"
Tears were welling up in my eyes. I laughed. "Yes Joe. Where you expecting me to say no?"
"Oh my god. Wow…I'm just… oh gosh…" he rambled on. He just stood there, with his mouth gaping open.
I ran to him, into his open arms. I buried my face into his chest. I don't know why, but I started crying. Maybe from happiness? Or relief? Or surprise because this was really happening? It seemed like a dream to me. Like if I closed my eyes and then opened them it would all disappear. He would disappear.
Joe finally broke out of his daze. He wrapped his arms around me tighter. "Ssh. Ssh. Babe it's fine. We're fine." He stroked my hair ad kissed the side of my head. "Don't you want to see the ring?"
I pulled away as he took the ring out of the box. He slid it onto my finger on my left hand.
It was beautiful. Simple yet elegant. "My mom helped me pick it out for you. I hope you like it. I mean but if you don't we could always"
I cut off his rambling. "Joe it's gorgeous. I love it. It's perfect."
He looked relieved. "I would look at it every night when I couldn't got to sleep. I just can't believe that that it's on your hand now instead of the box."
I crashed my lips against his. He seemed surprised at first but then eagerly kissed back. I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
Everything was perfect now. Hopefully it would stay that way. Maybe I would finally get my happily ever after.
I woke up with the sun shining directly down on my face. I groaned and turned around and saw Joe snoring lightly. He had one arm snaked around my waist. I smiled and tried to get out of his grip, but he groaned and tightened his hold, pulling me closer to him. I sighed. I had to get up. I managed to pull away from him. I hopped into the shower and took a long, hot, much needed shower. After getting out I pulled a loose, grey, tank top and a soft pink cardigan out of a drawer. I grabbed a pair of black leggings out of my closet. After putting those on I slipped on a pair of black ballet flats.
I wandered into the kitchen and decided to make some breakfast for Joe.
Ten minutes late, while I was standing at the counter I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist and hug me from behind. It was Joe. He kissed the side of my face. "Good Morning Beautiful."
I giggled. "Good Morning Joseph."
"Hey! Nobody calls me Joseph."
"Yup. Nobody except me of course."
He turned me around and pressed his lips against mine. "True. What are you doing?"
"Making breakfast."
His smile grew bigger. He loved food. Especially breakfast food. "What are you making?"
"Blueberry waffles." I slid them onto a plate and set them down on the table. "Here you go. Eat."
He sat down on the table and picked up his fork. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"No. I don't usually eat this early."
He looked at me, unsure. "Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure. Now hurry up and eat."
After breakfast Joe started to get ready to go to work. "Do you have to go to work today?"
"Babe stop whining. I haven't been to work in like two days. I heard even Selena has gone in. Dad and Nick are going to kill me if I don't show up for work today. But I'll come home early and I'll come here."
My phone beeped on the table. I grabbed it. There was a reminder blinking on the screen. I opened it. "Um Joe do you have any plans for tonight?"
He looked at me with a confused expression displayed on his face. "No…why?"
"Tonight's that big family dinner thing. You know the one with my family, yours, and Taylor's at your house."
"That's tonight?" Right at that moment his phone beeped from his pants pocket. He reached into his pocket for it.
"That's your reminder, isn't it?" he looked down at it. "Yup."
"So what are we going to do?"
"What do you mean what are we going to do? We're going to go."
"No I mean what are we going to tell them about you know us?"
"We're going to go." He repeated. "We have to telleveryone our announcement anyway. This is perfect."
Miley's P.O.V.
Nick and me ended up falling asleep on the couch last night while watching TV. Over the last few days we had been hanging out a lot. We had spent the whole day together yesterday just staying at my house just watching TV and relaxing. I smiled to myself remembering the previous night's events.
"Miley?"
"Uh huh?" I shifted my gaze away from the TV to face him. We were both sprawled out on the couch watching the newest episode of Switched at Birth.
"So I don't know if this is too fast but like I told you I've never felt this way before." He stopped and took a deep breath. "Miley will you be my girlfriend."
I smiled. "Of course. But only if you'll be my boyfriend."
He laughed. "We aren't going too fast are we?"
"I don't know but everything feels right. It feels perfect." I leaned in to kiss him. He kissed back.
He smirked. Oh no what was he thinking? "So you know since Emmett is deaf and all how would he like moan if he and Bay like sleep together. Will he like meow?"
I playfully slapped his arm. "Do you always have to think so dirty?"
"Hey you can't blame me for wondering."
So now I was officially taken. I sighed dreamily. Nick was so perfect. I felt so perfected when I was around him. I felt so connected and attracted to him. Since the first time I laid eyes on him. Its like fate wanted us to meet. It's like we were meant to meet.
I checked the time on the clock that was hanging above the TV. It was eight thirty. I shook Nick awake. "Nick… Nick… Nick you have to get up. You're going to be late for work."
"Uhh." He groaned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Does that mean your not going?"
"I wish. But I have to go. I didn't go in yesterday and neither did Joe. Selena was pissed."
"How's Joe now?"
"I actually have no idea. He hasn't been picking up his phone for the past few days."
"I hope everything's okay."
"Well I guess I'll find out tonight. We have like this big family dinner thing." He looked at me hopefully. "It would be a lot less boring and painful if you were there."
I shook my head. No way was I going to give in and agree to this. Not yet anyway.
"C'mon Miles. Please. For me."
"Nick it's way too early. We've only been dating for a day."
"I know. So come as a friend. Please?" he offered me his best puppy dogface.
"I must say that the face is hard to resist. But my answer is still no. Now go take a shower. Then you can go back to your apartment and get dressed."
"Kay babe." He pecked my lips before walking out of the room.
My heart fluttered. The smile did not leave my face. How was he doing this to me? How was he making me feel this way?
Joe's P.O.V.
I woke up in the middle of the middle of the night, thirsty. I looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was three o'clock. Oh no it was demon hour. But I wasn't scared, not tonight at least. I felt like noting could go wrong. Taylor was cuddled up into my side. I smiled when I looked down at her left hand and saw the diamond engagement ring sitting on her ring finger.
Last night was single handedly the best bight of my life. Well until our wedding night.
I had stayed over last night and slept with Taylor. Just slept next to her. Nothing else had happened. I was currently only in my boxers while Taylor was in shorts and a tank top. But once again trust me, nothing had gone on last night.
After coming back from getting a drink from the kitchen I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her close to me. Then I fell back to sleep.
The next morning I found her in the kitchen making waffles. But she didn't eat any.
We had our family dinner tonight. We were going to tell everyone the news. I could only hope that they would take it well.
After work I first went back to my apartment. There I took a shower and got changed into the clothes I would wear to dinner tonight. Then I headed over to Taylor's. It was three o' clock. When I got there I found her in the living room, curled up on the couch, on her laptop.
"Hey babe. Didn't you go to work today?" I pecked her cheek and sat down on the couch next to her.
She looked up from her laptop. "Oh hey Joey. I didn't go in today. I worked from here. Your back early."
"I told you I would. So what do you wanna do? We have like three hours until we need to go to dinner."
She crawled onto my lap. "Lets make out." She whispered into my ear.
"You don't have to tell me twice."
We made out for about ten minutes before she got tired. Now I was watching TV while she was fast asleep across my lap. I checked the time on my phone. It was five thirty. She looked so peaceful sleeping there that I didn't want to wake her up. But I had to or we were going to be late. I stroked her am. 'Taylor, baby you have to get up. We're getting late."
She stretched out her arms and yawned. "What time is it?"
"Five thirty. We have to be there by like six o'clock. You still have to go get ready."
She came out of her room about fifteen minutes later. "You look gorgeous."
She looked down and blushed. "Thank you."
"I think it's so cute when I make you blush."
She playfully slapped my chest. "Stop."
She really did look beautiful though. She had on a blue and grey sundress with grey, high, heeled boots. He hair was down and curly.
"Should we leave?"
I grabbed my car keys off the coffee table. "Let's go."
"Joe I'm scared. What if they're mad at us for doing this?"
I put my hand on her thigh to comfort her. 'Taylor don't worry, they wont be. And even if they are we're not going to change our minds just because of them we're not little kids that they can control." I pulled up in front of my parent's house and parked in the driveway behind my dad's car. "Well here we are."
She took a deep breath and got out of the car. I did the same. She grabbed my hand as we walked up to the front door. "Ready?" she whispered.
"Ready." I rang the doorbell. Taylor opened the door. He didn't even notice we were holding hands. "Strange to see you two here at the same time." He remarked. God sometimes he could be so clueless. But then again him and Selena were perfect for each other. "Everyone's already here. You two are the last to arrive." He walked ahead of us, into the dining room. Taylor and me walked slowly behind him.
"Just let me do all the talking." I whispered to her.
"Okay." She whispered back. Walking into the dining room I noticed that mostly everybody was seated at the table, except for my mom, Taylor's, and Taylor's. They were probably in the kitchen.
I heard someone clear their throat. "Ahem. And what exactly is going on here?" Selena asked beckoning to our entwined hands.
"We're all waiting for an explanation here." Nick spoke up.
"What's going on in here?" my mom asked, walking into the room, Taylor's mom behind her.
"Wait your not pregnant are you?" Selena looked at Taylor.
"Joseph." My mom hissed.
"No Mom it's nothing like that."
"Then what is it?"
"Me and Taylor are engaged. Now what's for dinner?" I mumbled really quickly.
"Did you just say you guys are engaged?" My big-mouthed sister asked, a huge grin forming on her face. "Oh my god! How did this happen when did it happen? Oh my god! Tell us everything."
"Selena relax. We don't need to know the details. But thank god that you guys worked everything out. You don't how worried I was about you two. I am so happy for you guys." My mom came over giving me ad Taylor a hug.
"So that's it. That's all you guys are going to say? After everything?" Taylor asked, confused. I think we were both expecting a different reaction.
"Well yeah honey. Other than when's the wedding." Her mom walked over for her turn to hug us.
Selena jumped up out of her seat and tackled Taylor into a hug. "We're both getting married! I never thought I'd see the day when Joe would get married!"
"So around what time do you guys expect to have the wedding? We could get a lot of the things done since we still have things to do for Sel's wedding.' Geez my mom just loves planning weddings doesn't she?
"Well we're not really sure right now." I started but Taylor cut me off.
"Soon. Definitely by the end of this year. That way it'll also be so much easier to get things done with Selena's wedding and everything."
"That's great!" we all sat down to dinner.
"So honey did you and Taylor set a date yet. I mean you guys have been taking so long."
Selena smiled. "We did. We think it'll be great if we can have it on our sixth anniversary."
"Sweetheart that's in like three months."
"I know Mom. But there's not a ton of work left to do. We'll get it done. Three months is a lot."
"We'll have to jump into planning right away now. Two weddings. How delightful." She sighed happily.
Selena's P.O.V.
I skipped down the street and into "The Perfect Dress." Saying I was happy would be an understatement. I was more than happy. I was absolutely and positively ecstatic. Everything in life was going great. Everything was wonderful. Everything was perfect. I was getting married to the love of my life. And Taylor and Joe were going to finally get their happily ever after.
"Hey Sandy. Is Miley in her office?"
"Uh huh." She answered barely looking up from her computer.
I skipped down the hallway into her office and threw open the door. "Hey Milerzz."
"Hey Sel! "She shut her laptop. "I actually just finished placing you order for the dress. It should be here by next week. Then we can start alterations."
"Good because I need it in three months."
"What?" she exclaimed.
"I'm getting married in three months. On our sixth anniversary."
"Oh my god! I'm so excited." She came over and hugged me.
"You heard about Taylor and Joe right?"
"Yeah Nick called and told me last night. I'm so happy for them."
"Well Taylor wants to get married soon so she's going to be super busy in wedding plans like me. I already talked to her about this. And I know we haven't known each other that long but I just know that we're going to be friends for a last night. We're already super close. I want you to be my maid of honor."
"Oh my god! Of course I'll be your made of honor!"
"Yay! I knew you would say yes! So I got you this." I pulled a package out of my bag and handed her a grey sweatshirt that said 'maid of honor 'on the front and 'I hooked up with the best man' on the back.
"Sel!"
"Hey is it not true? I just love the idea of having the best man and maid of honor together."
How was it? Thanks for all the views! I decided that I will continue with this story.
