-Shay's POV-
I rechecked every single detail for my surprise to Ashley. I prepared a candlelight dinner for us two on my poolside. I wanted to do it inside but I was scared that I would burn my own home so I moved it outside. The table was covered with white linen and 2 plates were resting on it. I carefully plated the dish that I prepared on the plate. I had the song 'Crave for you' by Flight Facilities playing on repeat to set the mood. I look at myself on the mirror for the last time. You're so hot Shay Mitchell, Ashley wouldn't be able to finish dinner. I gave myself a boost and not long enough I hear Ashley pulling up outside.
"Babe I'm home!" She announces as she gets in. Her jaw drops to the ground as she sees me on my black skin tight dress.
"Welcome home" I walk to her and place a chaste kiss on her lips before putting her blindfolds on.
"What's with the blind fold?" She asks and giggles at the same time
"It's a surprise babe" her breath hitched when I whispered seductively on her ear.
I guide her as we walk outside. I didn't want her to stumble or trip on something while I show her my surprise.
"You ready? 1,2,3. Surprise!" I took her blindfold off and she adjusts her eyesight and observes the whole setup.
"Wow! Shannon this is…wow! I can't even find the words to describe it. What are all of these for?" She shakes her head in disbelief and a wide smile is all over her face. Seeing her that way makes my heart jump out of joy.
"For you. You've been the best girlfriend, partner in life, sister, best friend that I could ever ask. I don't know if you realize this but in our relationship I'm the one who's always mad or disappointed or just complaining about us while you on the other hand sees to meet all the things I want. I don't want you to think that I'm taking your efforts for granted. Most of all I want to guarantee you that I would never ever turn my back on you again" I caress her cheek with my hand. She places her hand over it.
"I don't see it that way. I know how appreciative you are of what I did and of what I'm doing. I had my fair share of letting you down. Remember that girl who left you after she told you she loves you? Or that girl who asked you for another chance and bailed out on the last minute leaving you crying at LAX? I'm that girl. I love you Shannon. I love so much and I will never get tired of telling you that I do." We shed no tears but tranced ourselves with our loving gaze. I could feel the world going on slow motion. We didn't kiss, we didn't move, we just stood there with my hand on her cheek her one hand over it and her other hand on my waist. She leans in to me and when I thought she was going to kiss me so I closed my eyes she whispers "Babe as much as I want to go cheesy with you, I'm hungry"
"Ugh! No kiss? Booo. It could have ended perfectly with a kiss" I whine to her and she laughs at me
"Our story doesn't have endings, remember?" She sits down on one side of the table and I sat beside her. We feast upon the meal I prepared and washed it all down with the wine. It was a loving moment with her under the moonlight.
Even if we just wanted to stay at home and cuddle we had to get up and leave. We promised Janel and Sasha that we were hanging out with them.
"I thought you'd both ditch us" Janel said when we finally pulled up on her driveway. Sasha was already with her when we arrived.
"We wouldn't do that to you silly" Ashley retorted
"Geez what took you so long killer?" Sasha said as a joke to me.
"Can't you get more patient Ali?" I played along with her. They hopped into the backseat and we drove away to our first stop, the spa.
When we got there Ashley jumped out of the car and the 2 girls on the backseat did the same. Before I followed their trail I made sure that I pulled the hand breaks because there was one time that I didn't and Ashley gave me a long lecture for it.
"Remember that scene where A massaged you?" Sasha says to me. I almost forgot that scene I had.
"Yeah! It was Lucas who gave me that massage he said I was so tensed" Sasha and I laughed at the memory. Janel and Ashley were on their own bubble too. After an hour of massage we stopped to get something to eat.
"What do you want Ash?" She read the menu like a child with a small pout on her lips. She looked so cute. "Why do you have to be so cute" I whisper to her ear and she shivers.
"You two doing some funny business right there?" Janel inquired and the waitress who was standing to get our order stared at us
"What the…Janel! Shay was just telling me Nerdy Mona looked better" Ashley lied and I kicked her feet under the table.
"Ouch!" Sasha yelped
"Oops. Sorry wrong foot. I didn't say that Nel. I swear" I apologized to both of them. We gave the waitress our order and she left when we finished taking it all.
"Look at me is this the perfect mirror face?" Janel tried to imitate my ever famous mirror face. Ashley and Sasha was laughing at her
"Hey! I told you I didn't say it" I playfully smack Ashley's arm. Janel tried to get back at me because of her.
We wasted no time when the food arrived. We were all hungry and eager to eat. We were girls with man appetite.
"Who would have thought that Ali, Mona, Em and Hanna would eventually hang out together one day" Janel says amusingly.
"It's crazy I know but with us? It's not impossible" I say truthfully. We finished everything and paid the bill before heading to the most important task of today, shopping.
"Does this look good on me" I heard Ashley asking Janel. Janel looks at the dress and then looks at Ashley.
"Yeah. It makes your eye pop. I think it even highlights your complexion. You could use some shorter version of this" My attention was caught when I heard the word 'short'
"No short dresses" I said straightly and the two girls looked at me. I looked down in embarrassment. I didn't mean to be overprotective of Ashley but I just don't want others to check out my fiancé.
"Yes sir! You heard the boss Nel. No shorties" Ashley made a hand salute at me and shot a look at Janel.
"You think this is good?" Sasha took away my attention.
"Definitely! You would totally rock that outfit" I complimented her and soon we were divided into 2 pairs, Sasha and I and Ashley and Janel. I secretly bought one dress as a gift for Ashley. It was easy for me to hide it from Ashley when I bought it because she was occupied in choosing among the clothes. When our bodies finally ran out of energy and tons of shopping bags later we decided to have some FroYo and then head home. Our pairings remained on our separate bubbles. Sasha and I were reminiscing about the past while Janel and Ashley were talking about I don't really know but I have heard something like wedding.
"Do you want us to drop you off at home Sash?" I asked Sasha but she turned it down because she had her car parked at Janel's.
Ashley immediately showered when we arrived. I put away the bags we bought except for the one I was going to give to Ashley. I placed it at the center of our bed. When I heard the water stopped running I went inside the bathroom to take my own shower. When I was done Ashley was already in bed scheming through her laptop. She just moved the paper bag on my side of the bed.
"Hey babe. Did you enjoy the day? I'm so glad we were able to spend time with those two" I plopped myself to bed beside Ashley. I placed the paper bag to the floor waiting for the right timing to give it.
"Me too. It was fun talking to Janel about wedding stuffs. She and Brant have already chosen a venue. Good for them." I could get a hint that something was up with Ashley.
"You bought a handful of clothes can you try them on for me?" I tried to make my way to her
"I'm tired. I'll try it on tomorrow. You wouldn't want some of it though. It's kind of too short" She says without breaking her attention from her laptop.
"Then why did you still buy it?" I was keeping hold of myself not to get angry
"It looked good on me. I know you'd like it too killer" When she called me that nickname I finally figured out what was bothering her
"You're jealous of Sasha aren't you?" I rest my chin on her shoulder. Her eyes doesn't leave the screen of her gadget.
"No!" She says defensively.
"Really? Prove it then" I challenge her. She looks at me and stares at me right in the eye before moving her sight to her laptop again.
"Jealous! You're jealous" I teased her. I rolled her eyes and let out an annoyed sigh before closing her laptop and setting it aside to the nightstand.
"Maybe I am. You just have this bond that I don't get" She confesses
"You and Janel have that too and so does Troian and Lucy but tell you what.. The strongest, unbreakable bond there is, is buttah and benzo. Do you know them?" She pretends to think and nods. I lean in to kiss her but she stops me right there and then.
"There's something else Shannon" My heart beats fast weirdly.
"Tell me Ash" I was nervous deep inside of what it was. It could be some heartbreaking news or whatever.
"Why have we talked about the future and haven't talked about our wedding?" She asks me direct to the point. I didn't know what to answer her because it was just then that I also realized that Ashley and I haven't actually talked about it.
