Home Again

CHAPTER 1- THE PROPOSAL

It was a bright summer morning, and I was peacefully sleeping. I was planning to wake up late that morning as it was a Sunday. But suddenly, 'Haunted' by Taylor Swift, my favorite singer started playing loudly in my ears. I woke up in an instant. I knew exactly who had done it. "JACOB!" I exclaimed grabbing a pillow and throwing it at my vexatious but adorable boyfriend. "Hey, chill Sav, I was getting bored." He said. "Oh, you were getting bored? How about a pillow fight then?" I said hitting him lazily. "Ah, okay!"

This was what usually happened at our home. It was mostly fun and we hardly used to fight. Once though, I and Jay had a huge fight, I left home and went to my best friend's home. Jay appeared at the front door in about fifteen minutes with a basket full of lavenders and chocolates. He knew lavenders were my favorite and I couldn't stay mad at him after that. Other than that, we never had any fights in 4 years. I'm very fond of him and I suppose he is proud to have found me.

Back to the moment, we made some breakfast after Jacob and I were done with our pillow fight. "What are you in the mood for today, princess?" He asked with that sweet smile of his I adore so much. We make food for each other. "Surprise me!" I said. He made blueberry waffles for me with ice cream. After one bite I felt like I was in heaven. "Oh my god, Jay I swear you should be a cook!" I said stuffing my mouth. "You flatter me Sav," He started. I had made him bacon and eggs which were nothing compared to what he makes. "Anyways, this is pretty amazing too, you underestimate your skills." "Haha as if" I fake laughed.

We did our work and then around noon, he said, "Hey Sav?" "Yeah?" I replied without looking at him as I was writing an article for my magazine. "I got us tickets to see Taylor Swift." He said preparing himself. "YOU WHAT?!" I shrieked widening my eyes. "WAIT, YOU ACTUALLY DID?!" "Yup, now seriously calm down before you have a heart attack!" He said as I was screaming and dancing. "Thank you thank you thank you! I love you so much!" I said hugging him tightly. " I-I can't breathe" He gasped. "Oh god, sorry," I said apologetically. "But I-I-I still can't believe it! You're the best boyfriend ever! It's been my dream to go to one of her concerts!" I said almost crying with joy. "I know Sav, that's why I did it, now come on the concert's in a week, you've got to prepare, right?" He said wiping away my tears and still holding me in his arms. "Wha- In a week? That's barely enough time!" I said, my jaw dropped.

Now around this time most boys would have been like, "What? How is a week not enough time?" And "How much time do you need to get ready woman?" But not Jacob, he simply smiled and said, "I know, and I also know the perfect place to get outfits!" He said grabbing my hands and squeezing them tightly. I got ready to go and we left in his car.

We stopped at a shop with a banner put out saying, "Taylor Swift and more" We went in and I looked around. "Wow," That was all I could say because I was speechless. It was a beautiful shop decorated completely Taylor Swift-themed. We went to the elderly person sitting on the chair behind the platform. "Do you have any concert clothes, sir?" "Ah, so you're going to see Taylor next Friday? Yes, yes we do have some outfits come this way." He took us to a whole new room with gorgeous outfits. It took me about an hour to decide but I finally did. I and Jacob were wearing matching outfits! Purple Speak Now outfits! I was so excited.

The week flew by quickly enough and it was the day of the concert. I woke up extra early that day and got dressed. "Hey, excited for tonight?" Jacob said while we were having our breakfast. "Oh yeah, very, but I have work before and so do you so come on get ready, we have to leave in 5 minutes," I said wearing my heels. I wrote an article for a magazine company and Jacob was a reporter in the same office. We met through work. I started the car and we drove to our office building. We get to leave by 5 p.m. I am usually pretty exhausted by the time I return home but not that day. It seemed as if I had some special energy. It looked like my boss had noticed that. My boss, Leonara is a short lady who wears a bright blonde wig and always wears dark red lipstick, shimmery eyeshadow, and applied bright pink blush. She consistently wore too much makeup. I'd say she'd look much better without all of that makeup. Leonara had an attraction towards Jacob since the very first day he started working at our company. I remember her telling me to take "extra" care of him and I did. In fact, I take a lot of care of him now that he's my boyfriend.
