Sorry for updating until now... but college is a bitch! :)
You know the drill, PLL is not mine and dlfdjksfdslñfiqwefikwnefvcjs dcse.
Thanks for reviewing, people. It makes me feel awesome. Like I'm doing something cool! *hugs
Little change in here: Paige's POV is in bold. Emily's POV is in italic. Song is underlined.
Hope you like it. I might write 2 chapters more but let's see that later...
This is the song that started it all.
CHAPTER 5
Only girl in the world
-Thanks, Pam.
-What for? I just told you the truth… I do want you to be my daughter in law. You make our Emmy happy. Thanks, Paige for sticking around after all of this time.
-You have nothing to thanks for. I'm the one in debt because you guys trusted me with Emily and because you were kind enough to give me your blessing. Thank you…
-Good luck, Paige. You'll do fine.
After saying these words, she hanged up. After the conversation with my lover's mom, everything in my system was cooler. I was not panicking anymore, I was calm…
-Paigy- Ezra interrupted my thoughts- time to go, tiger!
-Sure.
-Are you okay, Mc? You look… happy- Caleb said as he pushed Ezra to take a closer look at me.
-I'm happy, Rivers. I'm ready.
I was. Happy and ready… all for you, Emily.
-I can't believe you know a rock star, Em! - Hanna said as she clapped after the first song of the band.
-It's no big deal. He is Patrick a friend of Paige. They met at college; he is an architect so they shared a couple of classes back then.
-But it's a rock star nonetheless. Maybe you could hook him up with Spencer! - Aria said as she patted Spence on the shoulder.
-He is gay- Spencer and I said at the same time.
-How do you know? - Did my friend know him?
-I don't know. He looks gay, right? - She looked away. Just when I was about to ask another question we saw the lights go down.
-So right now, I want you to welcome a good friend of mine.- Patrick's voice was the only sound we could hear in the darkness.- I train that voice so you better like it, folks.
-How exciting! - Hanna said- I hope is a hot person!
The vocalist grabbed an acoustic guitar and the drummer a cajon. The rest of the band disappear in the darkness.
-This is song is our take on a pop hit. We hope you like it!
Some claps filled the space as the first chords broke through the microphone.
I'm gonna love you, when the time is right
Be thinkin' of you, every day and every night
That was my cue. The sign for me to actually do this… I'm gonna kill it.
To think you're somewhere in this world
and someday I will make you my wife
So every day we're not together
I hope you know that you'll be alright
Cuz I...
A female voice continued the song. But there was something about the voice… my heart skipped a beat when the girl entered to the stage and a light shine upon her. My girl, my Paige. She was there, singing to me… and somewhere in the distance I could hear Hanna scream.
I'm gonna make you feel, like you're the only girl in the world
Like you're the only one that I'll ever love
Like you're the only one who knows my heart
I took the stool next to Patrick as he smiled to me reassuringly. If there were any fear left in my mind, they disappear as soon as I met her eyes. They fly away the moment her smile light the room with the shine of a thousand suns.
Like you're the only one that's in command
Cuz you're the only one who understands
How to make me feel so alive
I could barely think. She was here… the love of my life, singing to me. With so much passion and so much love. The same amount of love I have for her.
I knew she didn't love singing but she knew how much I enjoyed watching her sing.
And when you're lonely, I'll keep you company
Like this world was only made for you and me
And when it doesn't feel right with another, I hope you believe
That in a world with no light, I will be all that you need...to see
She was smiling. I was making her happy. Her smile was enchanting and addictive… I almost forgot to keep on singing.
I'm gonna make you feel, like you're the only girl in the world
Like you're the only one that I'll ever love
Like you're the only one who knows my heart
Like you're the only one that's in command
Cuz you're the only one who understands
How to make me feel so alive
I couldn't take my eyes off of her as I watched every detail of her. She was breathtakingly beautiful. She was wearing a tux, like she didn't knew how much that turned me on, and I could tell by that adorable cocky smile that she knew the effect it had on me. Then, I hear some voices behind me…
Ta da da da
I turned around to see Aria, Spencer and Hanna sharing a microphone following the song.
Ta da da da
And the girls were playing their part. And then I saw Ezra and Caleb joining them… that was not in the plan but I knew they were enjoying the spotlight. Emily was tearing up as she looked at me and then back and our friends… she was happy and I was happy as well. It was time to make my move.
Ta da da da
I saw Paige getting closer to our table that was right in front of the stage. She sat down and continued to sing.
Ta da da da
I stare at her eyes. The place where I could lose all of my sanity and the pair of eyes I will never want to stop seeing.
Slowly without making fast movements, I took my hand to my bag and take the little black box. I kept it in my hand… we were almost there.
I'm gonna make you feel, like you're the only girl in the world
Like you're the only one that I'll ever love
Like you're the only one who knows my heart
Like you're the only one that's in command
Cuz you're the only one who understands
How to make me feel so alive
Having her this close was pure joy. I missed her so much for the past week and he was about to be grounded for not telling me she arrived early. She put the mic away as she left the stage and she took a little black box from her hand and opening it in front of me. I was shocked by what I saw inside of the box.
Ta da da da
Ta da da da
Ta da da da
Ta da da da
After the song ended everyone was quiet. No one clapped… like they all knew what was happening.
-Emily Fields. I've been in love with you since I can remember. I don't know how I was living before you. You were there for me always and after all this years. I told you I wasn't ready, but now I am. I knew since that picnic the woods while we listened to Passion Pit, that I wanted to be with you for the rest of my existence. I don't know what this crazy ride is gonna bring for us… but I want you share my life with you. So… Emily Fields, will you marry me?
The room burst into screams, squeals and laughs. I was there waiting for an answer.
I didn't know she would do this. The ring, the song, the tux… everything as I ever expected and then again everything was a surprise. I saw her there and I could hear the sound of everyone shouting "Say yes!"
All I could hear was my heartbeat. Paige, Paige, Paige, Paige… it was always her. She knew since the picnic, I knew after she admitted to be scared one night in the woods while chasing "He-who-must-not-be-named".
-Yes, I'll marry you. I'll marry you a thousand times, Paige McCullers.
I threw myself to her and kissed her as I never kissed her before. Knowing she was mine and I was hers from now on.
And that was all I needed to hear. That she wanted to marry me. After making her wait, after all of this A thing, after the on and offs in our relationship… after all, she wanted me. Not anyone else but me.
While she was hugging me, I could feel Hanna's arms surrounding us and then Caleb joining us. Later after seeing that it was okay to interrupt the moment, the rest joined.
After the group hug, the band continued to play. I didn't want to let go of Emily's hand but the girls suddenly attacked us and pulled her away from me. It gave me a chance to set some things before leaving to our apartment where a nice dinner with our friends waited for us. Ezra and Caleb took me by the arms a couple of steps away from the girls.
-Ok, first order of business, Ms. Fields.- He was already bothering with the last name thing… an issue we will need to discuss later- bachelorette party!
-Hold up, dude! She just took a big step… one at the time. - Ezra answered for me. Blees him…
-I actually need to go and talk to Nick. But then we have the next surprise, so I'll see you there in minutes, okay? One step at the time, Rivers!- I went to the bar, thanked Nick and told him I'll pick up my mess tomorrow morning. He said it would be fine but that I should enjoy my first night with my fiancée.
Then I returned to my friends and the love of my life. They were all hugging each other and Em was showing off the ring… she liked it. I walked to Emily and took her hand and placed a little kiss in her lips.
-Ready to go? - I asked
-With you? I'll go to the end of the world if you want me to.
We walked out of the bar as everyone followed us. I could hear Aria telling Ezra he wasn't getting anything tonight because he didn't tell her he was already in town. Caleb was already lifting Hanna to their car and playing with her; he looked at me and nodded.
-We'll see you there, guys! - Aria shouted to us.
-There? - Emily asked.
-It's not the end of the surprise, Em. - I told her as I kissed her and opened the door for her.
I opened the driver's door and the letter fell from the car. Divine signs, right? I got in the car and put the letter in the middle of us.
-What's this, Paige? - She asked as I started driving to her new surprise.
-It's the second part of the surprise. You see, besides being our anniversary, it's our engagement party and I have 2 surprises more. The letter and another thing…
-So… can I read it?
-Not yet. You can read after our party…
-The apartment is not that big, Paige. Remember the last time we throw a party? Caleb and Aria broke the bathroom's door.-she said with a worried look.
-Relax- I took her hand and intertwined our fingers. The red light allowed me to lean in and kiss her. The kiss was sweet at first but then I felt the longing desire from her. I wanted her and she wanted me… but we will have to wait after the little party. - I love you, Emily Fields.
-And I love you, Paige McCullers.
We remained silence for a couple of minutes before she spoke.
-How about, McFields? It's half yours, half mine. It has a certain ring, right?-she said as if it was something casual.
-Why do I have the feeling that you have think this more than I have? - I knew her to well.
-Well, I knew I wanted to be with you forever before you asked me.
-McFields it is. If you want that… I can do anything with you by my side, Em. I don't care about a last name.
-Then stop over there, Ms. McFields. - She pointed towards the side of the road- I want to kiss you.
