Jaxon
I didn’t really know why I just did that. I just wanted to stake my claim on Angela even more. For the first time Angela and I stood near my front door awkwardly. She looked up at me with confusion written all over her face.
“Uh… Jaxon, what do you mean I’m your fiancé?” she asked me. I sighed and said “It means I’m going to marry you.”
She gave a small but cute frown and pointed out “But I never agreed to marry you.” Nothing comes easy when it comes to this woman but like I said I’d do anything for her. “You’re carrying my child so naturally we would get married.” I said.
“We haven’t known each other for very long.” she said.
“Yeah but we’ve been sleeping with each other not to mention the sex. You’re even pregnant with my child and I want to be with you and the child. So… you don’t want to marry me?” I asked.
She was quick to answer “No, that’s not what I meant. I just… I meant… you didn’t ask me.” she shyly said the last part as she avoided eye contact with me. God, she was truly adorable that I wanted to ravish her at the moment. I then did what she wanted, I got down on one knee which made her shock. She didn’t expect for me to ask so quickly.
“I don’t have a ring and I might not have one for a while but I promise I’ll get you the prettiest ring there is. We haven’t known each other for a long time but it feels like we’ve known each other forever. Angela… Angel… would you be mine forever and marry me?” I asked her as I held her hand.
Her eyes were still wide as they suddenly were filled with unshed tears. She smiled widely as she nodded and said at the same time “Yes! A million times yes!” She then threw her arms around me and tackled me to the ground with her on top of me. When she said yes, even though I expected her to, I couldn’t help but smile like an idiot.
I wrapped my arms around her even when we’re on the ground. I would truly do anything for this girl. She pulled away from our embrace with her smile still plastered on her face. “We have to tell Stephan and Fran.” she said excitingly. I didn't get to say or react to what she said when she suddenly stood up and grabbed my hand then proceeded to drag me towards her apartment. She didn’t bother to knock as she twisted the knob and slammed her fist on the upper part of the door which made her door open. I stared at their door with an ‘Are you serious?’ look. They definitely need to fix that since anyone could enter their apartment.
We walked further into the apartment to see Stephen and Fran sitting in the living room. Once they noticed our presence they both stared at us. Fran immediately smirked and asked “Had fun?” she was thinking something dirty. Angela was quick to retort “Not as much as you and Ciel.” Which made Fran immediately turn red. I remember Angela told me that she walked in on Fran and Ciel naked on the kitchen counter.
“Putting that aside, Jaxon and I got some great news.” Angela said happily. I bore no expression on my face. I’m happy that Angela said yes to my marriage proposal and I want to shout to the world that Angela is mine but I must show her friends that I’m not weak.
“What? You guys are getting married?” Stephen asked jokingly which made both him and Fran laugh. When they noticed that Angela wasn’t laughing, Angela smiled sheepishly as she asked “Is that a bad thing?”
Stephen bolted up and cheered “Congratulations!” While Fran stood up at the same time and shouted “What?” Angela smiled and said “Thanks Stephen!”
Fran had a scowl on her face which wasn’t a surprise, it’s almost like her resting face. “How can you get married Ange? He’s a total stranger.” Fran opposed. This made me frown, Angela didn’t look too happy as well.
“So? Ciel is also a total stranger.” Angela pointed out.
“Yeah, but I’m not marrying him.” Fran pointed out.
“Fran, why can’t you be happy for me?” Angela asked angrily. Fran sighed and replied “I’m happy Ange, marriage is a huge milestone in one’s life. But why now? Couldn’t you wait for a few years?”
“Fran, I understand your concern but if this makes Ange happy then we should support her rather than scold her.” Stephen spoke up.
“A true friend would slap her friend so her friend could see the truth.” Fran argued.
“I’d rather you literally slap me.” Angela mumbled which made Stephen giggle. “I volunteer to slap you.” Stephen said as he raised his hand.
“Give me at least one good reason why you should marry him besides being superbly in love with him?” Fran asked as she crossed her arms in front of her chest as she awaited Angela’s answer like a mom. Angela bit her lower lip as she fiddled with her fingers. This peeked my interest since I always enjoy seeing Angela all nervous.
Fran let out an impatient sigh as she started saying “If you don’t have any reason—” But Angela cut her off by saying “I’m pregnant.” This shut Fran up really good. Both of her friends stared at her in shock. Then they both spoke at the same time.
“Omg! Congratulations you guys! I can’t wait to be the god-mother!” Stephen cheered.
“What? You’re pregnant? Didn’t you guys wear protection?” Fran asked.
Another pregnant silence sat between all of us as Fran sighed in defeat. “I guess it can’t be helped,” she then glared at me and pointed a finger at me as well and continued “You! If you hurt or leave Ange then I swear to God I will find you and kill you, and I’ll make sure nobody will find your body.” For some reason, I believe her.
Just like flipping a switch, Fran and Stephan stared at each other for a few seconds then suddenly turned towards Angela. They then bolted towards Angela as they squatted down to the level of Angela’s stomach. Each of them had a hand on her stomach and this startled Angela.
“Can the baby kick?” Fran asked like an idiot. Stephan smacked her head and said “Idiot! The baby is still a fetus.” Angela started relaxing from their touch. I silently grabbed Angela’s hand which grabbed her attention, I gave her a soft smile which she returned as well.
I’d definitely do anything for her.
