**Clementine's POV**
I jumped up and looked around, awakening from my horrifying dream of being in a plane crash with Lee and Violet right by my side. I lost them and was the only survivor left. I can actually see something like that happening, that's why my number one fear is a plane, I've got a SERIOUS phobia. I look to the right of me and see Violet still snoring, sleeping peacefully. I looked at the time; 2:19. I lifted the blanket off of me and gently arose out of bed, trying not to wake her up. "Clem? Five more minutes with you, please? " She pleaded in a soft raspy voice, sitting up with messy hair. " Alright. Only five minutes. Then I'm gonna go make lunch. " I compromise with her and lay back down. Five minutes went by as fast as a snap. " Okay, okay, this is the last time. Five more minutes? I'm sorry, your body is so soft and I wanna lay with you forever. " She smirked and rubbed her left eye. I feel my face heat up and I blush at her compliment. " We can sleep later, I'm hungry. " I grinned and got up off of the bed for sure this time. I put on a matching set of a bra and underwear and found my way to the kitchen.
Violet came behind me shortly after just as I was washing the pots and pans out from this morning. " I can do that if you want me to. " She offered. " I've got it. You've been doing them for the past week. It's about time I did them. " I brushed it off. She shrugged her shoulders and resumed onto the island and sat where she was earlier. " Well, I actually don't mind doing them." She tried to convince me. " Yeah okay. I hear you grumble and mumble when you have to do them. " I giggle and look back at the dishes. " Well, yeah, I won't argue that. I can't argue that as a matter of fact. " She joked and got up and walked up behind me. She trapped me in her arms and admired the passion marks She'd left on my neck. " We've got a mosquito in here? " She teases me with a smile. " Yeah, It's you. " I responded with a cheese. " How about we go out to eat with our friends? I mean, we can go to TGI Friday's or something and just have a good time. Whatcha think? " She kissed my cheek afterward, attempting to butter me up. " That actually sounds like a nice idea. " I feel myself smile at the thought.
**Violet's POV**
Tonights the night. I want it to be perfect. I sat back down in one of the chairs at the island and pulled my phone out to text Louis. " Louis?" I texted him in a hurry. " What's up" He replied. " Tell Brody, Aasim, Ruby, Marlon, Mitch and Omar to get dressed and head to our usual spot, and let them know I've got something special planned. " I sent with a winking emoji. " She said yes? " He questioned me. " Yes, sir. I'm gonna do it tonight. " I responded in code just in case. "YESSSS FINALLY!!!" He replied excitedly. " I know right. But text them and get them to come. Tell them to be there by 4. It's already 2:56, so they've got time. " I inform him. " Alright. I'll see you later. " He complied with his final message.
I looked back up at Clementine who was washing her hands. " Okay, so we gotta be outta here by..." I looked at the time, " 3:25- 3:30. So I'm gonna hop in the shower and get dressed, or do you wanna go first? " I tilted my head, waiting for a response. " How about we make this quick and just take a shower together. No funny business, okay? " She raised an eyebrow with a smirk. " Yes, ma'am! " I playfully salute her. I checked the time once more; 2:58. " Come on then, we got zero time to waste." I ran up the steps with her skipping behind me. I rushed and gathered some clothes together, picking out a blue button up shirt that had little white dots scattered all over it as a design and some tan joggers. I didn't wanna dress too formal and make her think something was going on. She gathered the same kind of clothes as me and picked out a navy blue spaghetti strap and some well fit sweatpants.
I ran to the bathroom and turned on the water, it had to be hell hot, that's the only way she takes her showers and I clearly don't mind. I threw my clothes off and jumped in, Clementine joining shortly after. I washed my body first and let her scrub my back, getting every last part of my body and doing the same for her. I contemplated whether I should risk the time and mess around but decided against it, remembering we'd have plenty of time to do that later on tonight. " You don't understand how hard I'm trying. " I grumble to her. " What? " She asked, confused. " You don't know how hard I'm trying to keep my hands to myself. " I sigh. " We'll have plenty of time when we come back... And tomorrow and the day after that. It's only Friday, we've got all weekend." She explained, catching my attention, my ears turned red at my dirty mind. " Oh shit, come on. It's 3:18 already. " I scoffed with frustration. I grabbed the towel and dried off quickly and handed it to her while I got dressed and looked in the mirror. " You look good. Well, as usual." She complimented me. " I look good? Look at you. Perfection. " I kissed her on her cheek and hugged her. " Now come on, we gotta go, like right now. " I chuckled at her red cheeks.
She headed downstairs as I put on my shoes. I checked the hall to see if she was upstairs, the coast was clear and gave me an opportunity to grab the ring box. I opened it and watched it glow. It took me 9 months to pay this off and I won't let this go to waste. I closed it softly and tucked it in my pocket behind my phone. I ran back downstairs to join Clem. She handed me the car keys and walked out of the front door. I checked to make sure I had everything and joined her. I locked the front door and ran over to open her door for her. I've been doing this for years, now it feels weird to let her open it by herself. I jogged around the car and jumped in, buckled my seat belt and started the car. " Seatbelt? Check. Mirrors? Check. Partner in crime? Check. " I chuckle, making her giggle with me. " It's exactly 3:35. Perfect timing on our behalf. " She informed me as I pulled out of the driveway. " Excellent. We're usually late for things like this. Can you call Louis for me? " I carefully slide my phone out of my pocket, ensuring I didn't drop the ring. " Sure." She shrugged her shoulders and called him.
"What's up?" He answered the phone in a happy tone. " Uh, I got you on speaker and we're in the car. We're gonna be on time this time. We might even be early. " I said cockily, getting a snicker from Clementine. " Oh well, we're kinda already here. Everyone's waiting for you guys as usual. I know you said 4... but, we're kinda starving." He said sarcastically, making me laugh. " We're right around the corner. It's only 3:45. " I shrugged my shoulders as if he could see me. " Alright, see you then. " He attempted to hang up. " LOUIS WAIT!" I caught his attention right before he hung up. " Huh? " He asked worriedly. " We're outside and I don't see you guys. " I said with an irritated expression. He honked his horn right behind me and caught my attention. "Oh, never mind. " I laughed at myself.

We settled down at a booth that could fit all of us, but we had an extra guest. Louis' girlfriend, Sophie joined us. I grew nervous at the thought of me proposing in front of everyone and felt my cheeks get rosy. " You okay? " Clem whispered to me with concern. " Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. " I wipe the look of worry off of my face and smile at her. " Just checking up on you. " She said as she placed her hand on mines and held it, comfortingly. " Louis? LOUIS? Oh my god! EEK!" I hear a familiar voice yell from across the room. Please, don't let it be who I think it is. She approached the table with a bright smile. It was exactly who I'd hoped it wouldn't be... Minerva. She looked around the table, seeing everyone's face, when she got to mines, her smile faded slowly, realizing I had moved on. " Oh shit. " I hear Louis whisper under his breath. " Uh, hi... Minerva." I mumbled. " Hey... Um, how you guys been? " She proceeded the conversation. " Life's been pretty great. How about you, Minerva. How's life been? " Louis got Minerva to look at him and tried to erase the tension. " I'm -- Just got my own apartment... Got my own car... Life's okay. " She kept glancing at Clem and I. " Oh, um, who's the eye candy? " She raised an eyebrow, referring to Clem. And Clem didn't like it, not one bit. " She's my girlfriend. We've been together for 4 years and 9 months. " I awkwardly inform her, watching her expression change again. " Nice to meet you. " Clem shook Minerva's hand. " Nice to meet you too. " Minerva replied in a voice that said she wanted Clem gone. But Minerva was the one who left... So she can't be mad that I'm happy with Clementine. There's no reason for her to be mad. "I'm gonna go, guys, I'm back on shift. " She continued to work. Of course, she works here. " Alright, see you. " Louis waved, catching a look from Clementine that scared him, making him stop in his tracks.
" Violet, can we go talk? " Clem squoze my hand tightly and pulled me into the bathroom with angry footsteps. Oh shit. What if my whole plan for tonight is ruined? Shit. " I was NOT expecting that. " She placed her hands on her hips and paced around the bathroom. " You've got no reason to be nervous or whatever it is that you're feeling. Let's just pretend... I don't know, let's pretend she's not here...? No. Ignore her. Yeah, let's do that and we can be happy without disruptions." I blurt out as I contemplate what to do. " Alright, just... chill. I was gonna get mad at you but you didn't know she was gonna be here so I don't have a reason to be mad. " She admitted, receiving a smile from me. " You wouldn't be able to stay mad at me and we both know it. " I took a step closer and smirked. " Oh yeah? How so? " She cocked an eyebrow and took a step closed, proceeded by her wrapping her arms around my neck. " Because... You love me too much. " I wrap my arms around her waist and kissed her gently. The door creaked and Minnie walked in. I kissed Clementine once more, pretending I didn't see her. " I'm pretty sure the waiter is waiting for us. " I chuckled and grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the bathroom.
We sat back at the table and the waiter approached us, thankfully it wasn't Minerva. He took all of our orders and came back with our drinks in a hurry, remembering everything we wanted without paper. He dropped our food off last, I had chicken fingers, french fries, and mashed potatoes, Clem ordered General Tso chicken, french fries and mashed potatoes. We always stuck to the same thing every time we went out to eat. I ate my food slowly as we talked about life. After about fifteen minutes, it was time. My heart started to race after I paid for our food, knowing what I was planning to do afterward. I couldn't breathe right anymore. Louis stood up first and led the group outside. The minute I stepped a single foot out the door, I couldn't feel my legs. I took a deep breath and prepared myself.
" Louis. It's time. " I whispered to him then caught up with Clem. I stopped her right in the middle of the plaza, hundreds maybe even a thousand people were on the first floor, scaring the living shit out of me. Louis began recording. I took Clem's hand in mine and pulled out a piece of paper and read.
" Dear Clem you've been so, so good to me over these past years we've been together. Even when we weren't together, you were like a best friend to me. I remember the first kiss like the back of my hand. That just goes to prove how much I love you. Clementine Everett, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you." I put the paper away and pull out the ring box. I got down on one knee, gaining attention from everyone around us, Louis still recording... And finally asked. "Will you marry me? " My hands shook in fear and I smiled awkwardly. " Violet... You're serious?" Her eyes widened. I nodded my head quickly. " Yes, of course!" She squealed. I placed the ring on her finger and watched her look at it sparkle. I took a few steps back and stood there, not knowing what to do. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and ran up to me and wrapped her legs around me, hugging me tightly. I supported her weight and hugged her back and whispered, " I love you Baby. " in her ear. " I love you too boo bear. " She reciprocated, making me feel warm inside. A bunch of claps, a few wolf whistles and cheering came from the crowd, making me feel even better about myself. Louis had a tear rolling down his cheek. " She said yes!" He dramatically sobbed behind the camera before cutting it off.
