The Proposal
~Next morning~
"Please! Can you please help me out? I also helped you!" Rowan begged.
I sighed and crossed my arms across my chest.
"And I paid you for it."
"PLEASE HE'S MY BEST FRIEND!!!!"
He clasped his hands and glanced down. If he was willing to get down on his knees for him, his best friend must be someone really important.
"But I'm not sure if my husband would agree..."I nervously rubbed my neck.
"Won't agree for what?" Tobias emerged from the restroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. He stiffened the moment his gaze fell on Rowan kneeling in front of me.
He looked at Rowan while running his fingers through his hair.
The tension in the room choked me.
"Aurora wants to perform at my best friend's engagement party."
I whacked him, causing him to groan.
"Stop Lying, I Never Agreed!" I shrieked. Tobias flexed his arms, causing his muscles to bulge out, which made him look much more scary than he already was.
"She said no. So leave..."His voice was threateningly low. It sent shivers up both my and Rowan's spines. Rowan turned to face me.
"Please, I'll do whatever you want!" Rowan's eyes pleaded unspokenly.
I let out a sigh.
"OK, but only in one condition..." I responded, causing Tobias to sneer and Rowan to smile.
"Anything you want!"
"Tobias should dance with me." I grinned. The boy's pupils dilated.
"ME?!!"
"HIM?!!"
They both yelled simultaneously. I enthusiastically nodded.
"I won't do it unless he comes with me."
"Aurora-" Rowan cut Tobias off before he could say anything.
"Deal!" Rowan jumped out of the room, ecstatic.
Maybe it won't be too bad.
"NO I DON'T WANT TO DANCE!" Tobias yelled.
"Oh come on, it's on my bucket list and it'll be fun!"
"NO-"
~Evening~
"I can't believe you talked me into doing this." As I buttoned his black formal t-shirt, he grumbled.
"But, you're a hot devil." I winked, causing his cheek to flush.
"You're also a cute angel." He muttered and averted his gaze. I laughed.
I was wearing a white short dress and had large white wings on my back. I wore my typical red lipstick and snowflake earrings. They had also provided me white heels to wear with all of my other accessories. They truly dressed me up.
"Just cute?" I teased. He covered his gorgeous baby blue eyes with his colored lenses.
"I think you should have been the devil not me." He chuckled. I fixed his black wings.
"I like your blue eyes better." I groaned. He turned around to look at me.
In the dusk light, his red eyes blazed, taking my breath away.
"You sure about that ,love?" He bit his lips. Shit...
"Actually I changed my mind. I like you with red eyes." I said in awe. He chuckled.
"And I like you with blue eyes." He whispered in my ear. I bit my lips.
"Shall we go now?" He asked. I nodded.
We reached the deck of the boat and everyone was minding their own business until they saw us. Their expressions shifted from confused to enthusiastic.
None of them had any clue what we were about to do..
I took a deep breath when the Spanish song played.
I vibbed to the music and went to the center of the boat. I danced as gracefully as I could, making everyone look at me in awe. As I spun around I flashed a smile to the girl that was going to be proposed to. My heels clacked on the wooden flooring and the crowd around me started clapping to the beat giving me motivation.
Then Tobias enters making everyone flush even the old men. Damn..
He grabs a hold of my hand and twirls me around before grabbing my waist and making me fly. I giggled a bit at the sensation making him smile. We both danced with bright smiles and he dipped me with a slight smirk. I secretly threw one of my feathers at the girl. Her face wrinkled up in wonder as she caught the feather.
I let go of Tobias and walked up to her.
"Would you like to dance with us?" I grinned. As she grasped my hand in hers, she smiled brightly. We invited the crowd to dance with us as everyone got lost to their own rhythm.
Perfect! Now is the time..
I twirled the girl making her giggle before releasing her to her boyfriend.
He grabbed onto her and their breaths mingled. Everyone stopped to stare at them.
When the waves crashed behind them, the music altered to a soft melody. He kneeled in front of her with a dazzling diamond ring, causing her to stumble back with tears in her eyes.
"I have been in love with you ever since I met you in college to the point I memorized your entire class schedule just so I could say hi to you." He awkwardly grinned.
"I-I knew that.. That wasn't even my class schedule. I purposefully used to wait for you just so you say hi to me." She sniffled.
"But I still can't believe you love me back.." The guys eyes teared up. He wiped his tear
"So Anna Mcklengi will you marry me?" He asked. Everyone was dead silent as we waited for her response. She better say yes cause I didn't dress up and dance for no reason...
She knelt in front of him and put her finger through the ring.
"Yes."
All hell broke loose and everyone screamed and cheered in happiness.
"KISS!!!!!"I clapped loudly and hollered. Everyone chanted with me too.
Their lips connected in a soft yet passionate kiss making us all holler.
~Tobias's pov~
I watched everyone with a smile. Everyone was throwing flowers at them making their kiss even more memorable. The wind breezed past making it even more beautiful.
I turned to face Aurora. There was a bright smile on her face as she whistled for them. She was so adorable....
Now I really want to remember what happened during the day we got married.
I want to remember how she looked when we drunkenly said our vows.
I want to remember how we kissed...
I want to remember our wedding...
In the midst of the chaos of everyone celebrating I grabbed her waist and pulled her against me. Her hazel eyes widened making my heart beat faster.
"I want to marry you like that too.." I whispered.
"You already married me silly." She giggled. I caressed her cheek.
"But I don't remember it and neither do you.."
"Did you forget our deal?" She smirked. I laughed.
"No, I remember."
"Then I want you to propose to me in a cute way before we get married for real"
I slowly closed the gap between us before I kissed her. Her wings covered us both as the crowd danced behind us. I wanted her and only her...
"So this is the actual ending of the tale. A demon and an angel in love" A woman chirped. Me and Aurora flinched far away from each other. Her face reddened and so did mine. My impulsive thoughts..
"U-Uh Congrats on your engagement~" Aurora grinned with her evident red cheeks.
"Thank you so much for helping. Both of you actually. This wouldn't have been possible without you both!" The groom thanked us. We grinned back.
"You both danced so amazing that I wondered if you both had some relation between you and I was right! You guys are so cute! How long have you been married?" The bride asked. I rubbed my nape shyly.
"Actually we recently got married," I replied. She squealed.
"So cute!"
"Anna let's go?" The groom grinned. She nodded and waved us goodbye before she left. Me and Aurora heaved a sigh.
"God that was nerve-wracking!" I groaned.
"I know right!" She stretched.
~Aurora's pov~
We both partied with the others for a while until we both got a bit tipsy..
"What did the ocean say?" Tobias hiccuped. I pulled myself off the ship's wall.
"I don't understand it." I whined. He put his ear against the wall too.
We both put our ears against the wall and giggled.
"The ocean farted."
We both burst out laughing, barely able to breathe.
We wobbled around the halls trying to find our room, hiccuping randomly.
"Ooh Strawberry jam!" Tobias stumbled over to a bucket full of red paint.
I whacked him and pointed at the bucket.
"Silly~ That's not jam, that's paint!" I giggled.
His cheeks puffed up and he avoided my eyes.
"Aww don't be sad. Look what I can do!" I grinned before I put my feet into it.
He gasped.
"Aurora, you have red knee socks!!" He said excitedly.
"I KNOW RIGHT!" I replied as I tried to step out but slipped and made the entire bucket of paint spill on me.
"OH GOD AURORA ARE YOU OK?!" He yelled and hurried to help me up, but slid on the paint and landed right next me.
"Are you ok?!" I gasped. We both tried to help each other but slipped again. We giggled. He stood up and held his hand out for me to hold.
"Come on now, we won't slip!" He grinned.
"No drag me!"
"Across the floor?"
"Yes"
He thought about it shortly before taking my hands and dragged me across the floor, but my heel slipped off my feet.
"OOH FASTER!!!"I squealed. He started going faster until his hands slipped from mine and I fell onto the floor with a thud.
"I'M SORRY!" He kneeled down beside me, placing my head on his lap. I chuckled.
"It's fine~ Now help me up!"
He pulled me up, forcing me to face the print of my body on the floor.
"I made a beautiful painting!" I grinned. He clapped for me.
"It's a masterpiece!"
~Next morning~
I fluttered my eyelids open as the light shone on my face. We had returned to our room.
WHAT WAS I DRINKING AGAIN?! SHITT!!
I got up and went over to Tobias, only to have a heart attack.
Blood was streaming from his torso and finger, turning the couch blood red.
"TOBIAS!!!"I clung to his lifeless body. My eyes welled up with tears.
"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, NO NO, DON'T DIE!!"I burst into tears.
He wiped his sleepy eyelids.
In horror, I sniffled. His baby blue eyes locked with mine.
"What happened, and why are you-AURORA?!YOU'RE BLEEDING!!!!" He panicked and grasped my face as I sobbed while hugging him.
"No way, you're bleeding!" I shouted. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed suspiciously at the blood on his hand.
"Aurora, this isn't blood..." His pupils dilated.
"It's paint..."
We both hurried out of our rooms, gasping at the red mess all around us.
There were already a large number of onlookers and staff surrounding the shambles. We quickly took cover.
"It appears that the woman was dragged from here...Her bloody heels are here as well!" One of the employees videotaped it. I returned my gaze to Tobias.
His mouth was agape.
"T-Those are my heels, Tobias."
"I know Aurora...I know...We must tell them!" Tobias tries to leave, but I stop him.
He stared at me, perplexed.
"Wait, didn't we plan to do this? Frighten everyone on the ship?" I tried to reason with him. Slowly, realization dawns on him, and a cheeky grin develops on his face.
"We did, indeed."
We both crouched behind the wall and watched them till one of the staff members recommended it.
"We should ask Mr. Nightingale to look at this! Isn't he a police officer?"
We both covered our mouths so we wouldn't burst out laughing.
Then several more folks walked in and nearly wet their pants.
"D-Did anyone-"
"Let's not make assumptions. Just go back to your rooms; we'll be right there!" They were reassured by a woman. They all exchanged nervous glances before leaving.
