Love Will Overtake Us Both
Surprise!
~Frank’s POV~
I fixed my blood red tie and looked at my outfit in the mirror – a black, long-sleeved shirt, black super skinnies, the tie and my newest converse – my revenge gear.
I applied a big black cross over each eye in eyeliner, grabbed my wallet, phone and a small velvet box – which I put in my back pocket – and left my room.
Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
Leila came out of her room and what I saw, rendered me speechless. She was wearing a black fitted dress that stopped mid-thigh and black wedged heels. Her hair was curled and her makeup was so perfect. She looked so beautiful. “How do I look?” She asked, obviously noticing me staring.
“Stunning… absolutely gorgeous baby,” I replied, kissing her softly.
“Let’s go then!” She said, grabbing my hand and pulling me down the stairs.
Gerard was in the kitchen, admiring how Leila looked. “Wow Leila. Stunning as always,” he said, laughing nervously as a blush turned his cheeks pink.
“You try’na steal my girl Gerard?” I said sassily.
“Nope; just saying how rad she looks,” he said back, eyeing Leila up and down.
“Ladies! We need to go; it’s 6:55!” Leila shouted.
“Okay baby, let’s go,” I said as Leila and Gerard skipped happily in front of me. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what Gerard was wearing. “Gerard! Why are you wearing your painting clothes?” I asked, anger starting to dominate over the calmness in my tone.
“Because… I have nothing else to wear?” He said, trying to make an excuse.
“I think you should go and change into something more suitable, don’t you?” I snapped.
“Please Gee, for me? I don’t want any arguments tonight,” Leila said softly, giving Gerard’s back a gentle nudge. He walked back upstairs – sighing as he went – and – yet again – slammed his bedroom door.
10 minutes later, he came down in his revenge outfit too. His makeup was a thick black band across his eyes and the bridge of his nose; it looked great!
“Gee, you look awesome,” Leil beamed. She ran over to him and hugged him tightly.
Leil, Gee and I clambered into my car and drove to chili’s. We arrived at 7:25 and Ray, Mikey and Bob were waiting for us by Bob’s car.
We walked into the restaurant and sat down at a large table; I sat opposite Leila, Ray sat next to me and opposite Mikey and Gerard sat next to Ray, opposite Bob. A waiter came over, wrote our drinks order down and walked away.
“How are things going between you two then?” I asked, addressing Mikey and Ray.
“Things are great between us, aren’t they Ray?” Mikey asked, smiling at his boyfriend.
“Yeah, wouldn’t wanna spend my days with anyone else,” Ray replied, earning an ‘aww’ from Bob, Leila and I.
"We have an announcement to make," I piped up, lifting mine and Leila's intertwined hands. Ray, Bob and Mikey looked at us, mouths agape.
"We are together! And..." Leila says, standing up. "I'm pregnant," she turns to the side to show everyone her tiny bump.
"Congratulations!" Ray and Mikey cried in happiness.
*******
I have to do this now or I'll never do it.
We'd all finished our dinner but we just sat there, making general conversation.
"I have something to say," I piped up, getting to my feet.
I turned Leila so she sat sideways - facing me - on her chair. I grabbed both of her hands and began, "Leila, look; I know that we haven't been together that long but if I don't do this now, I never will," I said, smiling down at her. I let go of one of her hands, pulled the small box out of my pocket and got down on one knee. I opened the box to reveal a simple silver ring with a diamond in the shape of a star on it. "Leila, I fell in love with you when we first met and I know that these past few months have been rollercoaster rides... for all of us but I can see that you're happy now so... Leila Evans, will you marry me?"
A single rolled down her cheek. "Yes," she whispered, hugging me and kissing my cheek.
A round of applause filled the area in which we were sat.
"Congrats again guys!" Bob beamed at us.
"Right, seeing as everyone's quiet. I have something to say too," Ray said and he copied what I did with Leila but with Mikey.
He grabbed Mikey's hands and began. "Mikes, you are the love of my life and we've been together for what feels like an eternity so..." he, too, got down on one knee and pulled out a box. He opened the box to reveal a thick silver band that had - engraved - that read 'forever yours Mr Way-Toro xoxo'. "Mikey way: will you marry me?"
Gerard got up and left without saying a 'congratulations' to his brother and Ray. Saying nothing, in fact...
