How many of you know about Avatar: the last airbender cartoon?
========================
I belled and the person who I wanted to open exactly opened the door
"Rachel!" She looked at me shocked
"Angela" I greeted her back
"I am happy you came here but also suspicious" she eyed me
"I need to speak to you" I said "Let's go for a ride"
I took her hand and before she could object then asked her to sit behind me
"Bu-"
"Sshhhh"
"I-"
"Sshhhh"
"Li-"
"Sshhhh"
"Fine!"
She reluctantly sat behind me
Honestly, I didn't have anything to talk to her but since David had to talk to her single mother (First step: asking her family for her hand) so I had to get her out of her house.
Reaching near a donut house I stopped my bike.We walked in and inspected the place to find a good table to sit. We soon sat down.
"Sooo....." she begin after donuts were safe and secure in our stomach
"I found out a little secret about you" I told her
"Did Rose tell you that I stole pancakes? Because if she did then she is so dead by me! How could she do this to me? I gave her half of it almost to keep her mouth shut" she went on
"No, not that!" I cut her "It's that-"
"About the pickpocket thing? I just wanted to try it once. I just wanted to learn how to do it but I guess Estella told you! I hate her" she ranted
If I allow her to go on she'll confess every crime of hers. But it's wrong of me to listen it.
"Not anything of it" I shouted "it's about David and you"
"What about us?" She asked, her eyes glued to the window
"YOU tell me! How do you guys know each other from your childhood?" I asked.
"My mom and his dad are college friends" she looked at me and smiled "after my biological dad left us, we had no one. No family support, no job, no money, nothing. But his dad took us in and helped solve our problem. Since then I know David. I still remember we both playing hide and seek, Mario and quote game together. But everything changed when he went to high school. He no longer wanted me because he thought it was a harm to his "image" so I didn't bother him after that. That is our story which ends on a sad note. Every relation does not end with a happily ever after..."
"If this is it then why did you blush when I walked upon you both talking in coffee shop?" I questioned
"I...it was...we-"
"Do you love him?" I cut her
She sighed before answering "Yeah, a lot but I know he doesn't. He will once again go away from me and leave me alone like my father left my mom! All men are like that. They only care about themselves. Selfish bitch!" She cursed with tears in her eyes
I tried cooling her mood by asking her what quote game is. "It's a kind of game that we use to play. Quote for another quote till one runs out. It used to be so much fun. I miss it!" She smiled sadly
"That's cute" I commented
She got up immediately and hurriedly said "I need to go home" and walked out before I could do anything
I called David "Are you done? She is coming home" I said when he picked up
"Yeah, I am"
Angela's POV
I hurriedly walked out of the donut house to catch a cab home. I couldn't take it anymore. I am never a person to cry but when David comes in picture, my heart and brain stop their coordination.
When I reached home I knew mom would ask about my blood red eyes but I cannot tell her that I cried over David. No one, not even David, knows that I love him. More then my life, anything, he is everything to me. But now that Rachel knows I am scared she'll tell him. He'll leave me sooner or later so I didn't want anyone to know. Plus he deserves a much more better girl then me.
I got home and went directly to my room. After closing the door I turned around to observe a box with a note next to it.
I walked to the box and inspected it. The note read:
Dear melon lord,
Please wear whatever is inside that box and come to the park behind your house. I'll be waiting for you...
P.S. you better wear the same hairstyle!
Yours truly
David
Melon lord was my nickname given by him with reference to a cartoon named Avatar the last airbender in which one of the main character, Toph, jokes about her being the melon lord while she names the hero, Aang, twinkle toes which I call David. I just LOVE that cartoon! I have so many memories related to it! Him, me, pizza, couch and Avatar the last airbender on T.V. . You pretty much get the picture I guess...
Wait!
What hairstyle?
I opened the box impatiently to reveal a pretty black dress. It was Selena Gomez's dress from her video song who says. I am a die-hard fan of Selena Gomez's and only David knew about it. The box also consisted of the same heels she wore in it. I did the same hairstyle as she had done like David had requested.
I changed instantly and walked down. I wonder why did he ask me to come. Last time I was so happy and I walked to the park only to find out that it was just a prank and he dumped water on my head! And he and his stupid pick up lines! God, he can never get a girl if he tries with that stupid lines. I remember once...I just can't keep my thoughts away from him! I need to move on. He deserves much better and sorted girl then I am!
I slowly walked to the park. Truth to be told I was freaking out. I don't wanna get wet again and ruin this perfect cute little dress.
But I was greeted with a board saying "carry this path to know my heart better". I went on with the path to see another board "someone had advices me - before you 'assume' try this crazy method called 'asking'. So I am gonna try that"
I smiled at the flashback where I and David had a fight and he 'assumed' that I was angry with him so he ignored me the whole day. Then when I confronted him he told me the truth. I had advised him this then.
I walked along the path then met with another board saying
: "It's hard to wait around for something you know might never happen; but it's harder to give up when you know it's everything to you"
And David on his knees.
I was shell shocked.
"We fought for so long the time I was entering high school" he looked at me "because I thought I would loose my image being with you. But I was silly enough to not understand that being with you would only build to my image. I understood your importance only when I left from here. You know they say that we miss sun only when it starts snowing"
I smiled sadly
"I could have avoided you, coming back here and everything but I just didn't have enough strength to do so.
I love you"
My eyes went wild. I imagined a hundred times how he would say these words to me and I would just jump into his arms and he would turn us around a couple of times then finally kiss me but I stood still. I couldn't move! That wasn't the script in my head!
"You are the one thing I missed the most in New York. The one thing I want when I get home. You are the only person I want to grow old with and die with you. Only you. I'll never lie to you. Be with you even when you grow fat and old. I will love you and your soul forever" he took out a book and opened it to reveal pages cut out in heart shape in the middle with a ring.
"Angela Merry Hopes, will you marry me? And please answer fast because my knees are hurting" he raised his eyebrows
I chuckled then acted as if thinking deeply. He gave me a disagreeing look then I laughed out loud
"For the love of Avatar, please answer already!" He rolled his eyes
"Yes, you idiot, I'll marry you!" I answered finally
He got up immediately and put the ring in my finger.
"God, its such a torture proposing on knees. Thank god I'll never have to do it again" he breathed out heavily
Suddenly Rachel emerged from behind the tree with video camera in her hand.
She turned it towards herself and spoke "And this, kids, is how your dad proposed your mom" then shut it and handed over to David
"YOU were here the whole time!" I exclaimed
"Yep" she came and hugged me whispering "he loves you, too, Angela. He will never leave you. If he does then I'll hunt him down and cut him into pieces then throw it in the bonfire on which we'll cook chicken on it later, don't worry. Congratulations on the marriage part. I am really very happy. Every story has a happily ever after. You just have to wait till you reach that page in your life. You waited and see - You got your happily ever after."
"Thank you" I replied
Rachel Wilander's POV
After a long bath I wore PJ and a shirt. It was getting cold tonight so I chose to wear a sweater on it also. I walked out of bathroom to see Ashton sitting on my bed
"I at least expected a towel show!" He pouted
"Too bad you won't get any show of such type. Why are you here at this time?" I questioned him
"You are my girlfriend and I don't need time boundaries to be with you" he shrugged.
"Are...are you gonna stay tonight?" I eyed his casual outfit
"Yes" he answered
"There isn't much place for three of us" indicating towards my teddy
"Oh I am sure he wouldn't mind sleeping in your closet. He's been sleeping with my girlfriend for a long time now! Its my turn" he said then asked "scared to sleep with me because you won't be able to keep your hands to yourself?"
"Oh ph-lease! I am not you!" I answered
"Then prove it! Come and sleep with me" he provoked me
"Stop provoking me and get in the blanket" I ordered as I got inside the blanket "Though keeping the teddy in my closet is your work"
"Darling, nobody orders the king" he smirked
"But when its his queen then he listens to everything of it. I am so tired and sleepy!" I yawned "pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee"
"fine!" He took my teddy and left it in the closet. Running back he joined me in bed not before switching off the lights.
"Don't come in my territory, okay, or I'll kick you" I warned
"Okay" he suddenly pulled me to him with my back touching his chest because I was facing away from him.
I squealed
"Good night, my fisty little fighter" he pressed his lips on my bare shoulder making me shiver
"And there goes all my sleep" I rolled my eyes
"Hey!"
"Hmm?"
"Wanna make out?" He asked
"No, thanks!" I scoffed
He just laughed then sighed
"Had a rough day?" I asked him as I turned to face him in the dark
"Yeah"
"Tell me about it!" I eagerly asked as I turned in his arms "I wanna know how your day was"
========================
You can never imagine Rachel to be as into romantic stuff as Angela is in, right? I find their love story too cute... what do you guys feel?
Also, I LOVE avatar the last airbender!!! That is my favorite cartoon... I love Toph slightest more then the other characters.
