I used to my phone to guide me over to the living room, the lights switched on as soon as I entered ...okay..? Seriously, what is going on?
I looked around and saw that there were DVD's lying on the table where the T.V was set. On the dining table, there was a candle and a few plates, one that had pizza on it and one that had chocolates on it, glasses and bottles of cold drinks and juices along with boxes of food lying on the table. On the floor beneath me, "Be Mine?" was spelt with a heart around it which was made with rose petals. Three of the couches were built into a fort along with blankets and pillows such that the opening was right in front of the T.V.
I heard voices from the kitchen and I hesitantly started making my way towards it. From what I could hear, Maria was talking about "the tux effect" and Jai was talking about "the naked effect." I almost ran back home but I was too curious now, so I decided to stay. I walked into the kitchen to find a giddy looking Maria, a really really nervous Austin, and a done-with-your-shit Jai who probably got his naked effect idea turned down.
I slightly figured out what was going on, but I decided on asking as well. "Okay, guys-hey, guys! listen to me, what the fuck is going on?", to which Jai replied with, "Well, sweetheart! If all goes well, you're getting some tonight", winking and wiggling his eyebrows... okay. "Okay, well. I came here to hang out with Maria, but I come here to find a pathway of petals and biscuits! like, really? biscuits!? who's dumb idea was that anyways-", "IT WAS MINE YOU DUMB BITCH." Ignoring Jai, I continued with what I was saying. "I walk over to the living room and the lights switch off, then I find all these things for a couple's movie night and I thought Maria invited Jai over and I was supposed to be a third-wheeler for the rest of the night, but then I come here and I find him. What's he doing here anyways?", I looked over at Austin while raising my eyebrow, while Jai and Maria mumbled something about "us needing time alone." Oh, the joy! "So, um, Amal, I-I wanted to apologize about the fight and for being an ass and an arrogant, cocky prick. You're beautiful and feisty and you were the only one who isn't all over me and I love that about you. I love everything about you. So, I um, I really li-like you, and I ho-hope you like me ju-just as much. Will you please be mi-mine? I mean if you don't want to, it's completely fine! I understand! I was an asshole to you anyways", he said while looking straight at me. I couldn't help but smile and walk over to him. I admit I kinda had somewhat of a thing for him before I knew what a prick he was, turns out, he wasn't so much of that prick. Austin grabbed my hand and walked me over to the living room to enjoy the night ahead and it began. We were always there for each other and I felt incomplete without him. And years later, I realized that there was no me without him because he was all I had, all I was and all I needed. And the "me" in "you and me", wouldn't be complete without the "you" that is the love of my life. And as I sit here at his grave, looking at his tombstone, I remember all the memories I shared with him, including the one where I was finally his and he was finally mine. I spent hours crying and telling him how I loved him and when I got up, I only fell back down and then, everything went black.
And my world, he was standing there. We were finally together again and I was finally complete.
_________________________
well that was the last chapter of this short story. I had to re-write most of this because half of it just disappeared. so basically, Austin and Amal got married and shit, but Austin passed away and Amal goes to his grave and has flashbacks of her memories with him and remembers this one, so this story is basically a flashback. Oh and also in the end, Amal dies and is finally with Austin again. I hope you guys liked this story and especially this chapter :)
comment your thoughts! :)
