“Yes, Liam proposed yesterday before the draft started,” I say excitedly.
“Oh my gosh,” she says as she gives me a big bear hug, “we need to plan. Did you set a date?” she asks quickly.
“Not yet, but that’s what I need to talk to you about,” I try to whisper.
“Are you pregnant?” Nikki a girl in the house asks.
“No, I’m not pregnant,” I snap back.
“Why would you ask that?” Quinn asks, looking pissed.
“Because they haven’t been together that long, yet they are engaged already,” Nikki says bitterly.
“They’ve known each other practically their entire lives,” she quips.
“Oh, well I just think it’s weird,” she says before walking away.
“Congratulations,” Rebecca says as she pushes some of the girls out of her way, “Holy shit, he did great, that’s beautiful,” she says as she admires my ring. The rest of the girls congratulate me and ask all about the proposal, wanting details.
The rest of the evening is spent talking to the girls and going over the details of the proposal, also with how Liam got selected a lot earlier in the draft than expected.
“Ugh, finally,” Quinn says as she falls on her bed.
“Finally what?” I laugh.
“What happened at home?”
“What do you mean?” I ask playing dumb.
“Well Brody and Kenzie, what happened? Your text said something happened, now fill me in,” she says, as she sits up giving me her complete attention.
“Ugh, well after everything with the draft and all, Brody was nowhere to be found. So I went outside to talk to him. Quinn, he wants me to give him a chance, us a chance.”
“What?” she practically howls.
“Sure did, he wants us to be together.”
“I can’t even imagine how your sister would feel,” she says shocked.
“Oh, she heard it. Apparently, she’s been trying to sleep with Liam for the past year,” I say annoyed.
“Seriously? What the fuck? Why?”
“She wants him and Brody wants me, so they worked together, I guess on trying to get each of us. I’m not completely sure.”
“That doesn’t make sense, because she hated when Brody would talk to you. Maybe she wanted them both for herself.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised.”
“How did you find out she’s been trying to sleep with Liam?”
“He came outside and heard what Brody was saying to me and called Kenzie out on it.”
“Why didn’t he tell you?” she asks confused.
“I don’t know, something about he didn’t think it would matter. Either way, I ended up leaving because I was so pissed off at all of them.”
“But then, how are you engaged?”
“When I finally went home, Liam was waiting up for me. He didn’t sleep with Kenzie, heck he didn’t do anything with her but avoid her, so I couldn’t stay mad at him.”
“Aww young love,” she jokes.
“I do love him. It’s just going to make it awkward for our wedding because of Brody and Kenzie now.”
“God, that’s going to be so weird. What are you going to do?”
“I have no idea.”
“Well, when do you think you guys want to get married?”
“Soon.”
“How soon?”
“Hell, Liam wanted to get married tomorrow,” I state laughing.
“Really? Wow, well I guess it makes sense, he leaves shortly after school is over.”
“Yep, so this way we can live together as husband and wife before he has to go to Minnesota.”
“Do you think we can pull this off in a month’s time?”
“A month?” I ask shocked.
“Yeah, sweetie he leaves really soon. Let’s get this show on the road,” she says as she grabs her laptop. “What colors do you want?”
“Blue, definitely blue.”
“And what other color?”
“I don’t care.”
“How about blue and silver?”
“That works,” I say, as I move over to her bed to see what she’s looking at.
“Where do you want to get married?”
“I don’t know.”
“Haven’t you ever thought about your wedding day before?”
“No, not really,” I answer honestly.
“Oh my goodness. Well that’s about to change,” she says as she pulls up site after site with wedding ideas and suggestions. For the next two hours we go over venues, color schemes, types of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, you name it, and we cover it.
The next morning can’t come soon enough, and before I know it, I’m out the door and heading to class. Liam and I missed two days of class to go home for the draft, so now it’s back to reality.
