《Little More Love || Completed》Chapter 9 : Blue Stone Ring
Advertisement
❁ How strange is that,
Sometimes our most closed ones become stranger and sometimes a stranger becomes so close. ❁
I was just virtually cursing Male bitch, when my phone rings, Josie on the other side, I'm sure she's gonna ask me about my date, what am I suppose to say!?
That I'm sitting here alone, trying to force this Eww coffee ordered by my so called Boss down my throat against it's will, anyways I swipe the green option " Yep. " I gulp yet another sip of the worse coffee in the world.
" Nore, leave everything and meet me at the entrance, right now! " She doesn't give me a second to utter a word or react but instead hangs the call, and millions of possibilities run through my head within a heartbeat.
I immediately get up from my seat grabbing my bag I approach the counter to pay for the coffee, " Keep the change! " I almost yell through my track to the exit.
I'm literally gonna kill you Liam the Lemonade if you did anything wrong.
As I approach the entrance of the building, I see a girl in black dress and a guy in brown jacket, I accelerate my speed in that direction because that's Joe and Liam.
" What the hell did he do!? " I bark pinning my wide scary eyes at him as I run over to him.
Confession No. 16 - My wide eyes gaze can even scare the hell out of me.
So Liam is terrified, is the understatement of the year.
I grab his collar but before I could punch him on his face, Josie stops me, " Calm Down Girl, calm down. " she pulls me away from Liam and rubs my back while I pant heavily," Look! " she smirks moving her orbs pointing to the blue stone ring in her ring finger, while showing her 32 teeth as a wide grin. " Liam proposed me! "
He did what!?
My whole metabolism pace halts immediately, " Oh Heavens! ", these are the two words that manage to escape my mouth, it's still a shocker for me to digest, I mean an hour ago I knew about their complex relationship and now they have decided to get married.

I mean my crazy roommate slash girlfriend has decided to get married!
" And you're okay with it? " I raise an eyebrow to Josie confirming if that's what she really wants or Liam the Lemonade being a psycho lover like in the movie I watched recently.
Confession No. 17 - I watch too many movies.
" Hella Yes! " she snaps and only an insane wouldn't sense the happiness and bliss in her eyes and tone, she's genuinely happy and that's what really matters.
I can't evaluate the level of my happiness!
I jump as I wrap my arms around Josie giving her a squeezing side hug. " Congratulations you two. ", I extend my right arm to make it a threesome hug.
" And Liam I'm so sorry you had to see the most scary look of mine. " I apologize to him as we pull away but my left arm is still hangs around Joe's shoulder.
" Oh no it's okay, if he ever tries to cheat on me, he will remember that look of yours. " she winks as she teases him, to which he opens his mouth to reply, " Indeed, but why would I ever think to cheat on you, I can never find someone who can replace you, you're one in a million. " and saying this he kisses Josie.
Quite Cheezy!
" Ahem Ahem " I pretend to clear my throat, trying to register my presence which they ignore miserably leaving me with no other option, I grab her hand pulling her to my side, " Okay Liam the Lemonade, now I would like to steal my girl back, so bye bye. "
" Hey, don't call me that! " he snaps being frustrated by the cute nickname I gave him, to which I can't help but chuckle at his pseudo mad face and Joe accompanies me.
" I will miss you, baby. " he struggles to not leave her hand, but Bf over Bff, not gonna happen!
" I will miss you too. " she makes a sad puppy face making it more difficult for me to bear such cheezy couple lines, " Come on, you meet everyday, you guys work together. "

" Tell me every single thing! " I jump in excitement as I buckle the seat belt while Josie handles the steering, " Okay, so he first took me for Volunteering..." I cut her off being eager but not intending to disturb her, " Seriously! Volunteering? How unromantic! "
" Mouth close ears open. " I put my index finger on my lips and make the most innocent face on earth while she side glares me as though she's my history teacher.
" After some stalling we made our way to the special Jellies exhibit, awash in bright colors and other-worldly undulating cnidaria. He held me close, professed his love and adoration for me, and offered me his hand, his life, and a ring. " she explains with her focus on the road and I can sense the shyness and happiness in her smile which she's trying not to show but it's as visible as a flashlight in dark, while the dim light of the evening helping her cheeks to hide their redness.
" Oh heavens, Mr Lemonade is not as unromantic as I thought. " I teasingly elbow her, to which she can't help but smile sheepishly. " And you know what, he also sang me the song ' Perfect two ' "
" You've gotta be kidding me! Seriously? Aww how cute. " I never thought Liam would be this filmy, I mean his personality suits his profession of a doctor, pale skin, serious accent, he's a person who can give two different news like, " I'm sorry the patient is no more. " or " Congrats, you're going to be a father. " with literally same facial expressions so it's very difficult to even imagine him singing her a romantic song.
" You're the Apple to my pie,
You're the straw to my berry,
You're the smoke to my high,
You're the one I wanna marry...
'Cause your the one for me,
And I'm the one for you,
You take the both of us,
And we're the perfect two. "
We sing like idiots!
" Now tell me about you're date. " she intentionally changes the topic before I start teasing her again, and her statement gets me lost for a second. What should I tell? I don't think it's the right time to tell her the truth, she's very happy right now and I have no right and intention to snatch this gorgeous smile from her face.
" Oh he was an ass. " I roll my eyes.
" Come on tell me! " she begs.
" Well he took me to a cafe and made me drink black coffee and then suddenly rushed out, and I had to pay the whole bill. " A frown replaces the whole joy on my face, I rest my right arm on the window frame while moving my head toward the window with cold breeze of Chicago strikes against my face.
" What the hell! " she blurts while turning her face towards mine in reflex and looks at me like she's observing me.
" Hey don't worry, you never know what has God prepared for you, just have faith, and about that guy, he was lucky enough that he left early or I would've smashed his head, I hate him already! " she tries to console me as she notices the frown on my face.
I don't know if my face is very expressible or she's good at reading faces, because she knows everytime I try to hide my emotions, what did I do to deserve this kind human as my best friend.
I just told her about today and she hates him already, I can't even imagine what would she do when she'll get to know the whole story.
It might be the last day of Hans Freaking Anderson.
