Chereads / My boss, My lover / Chapter 13 - Will you marry me??

Chapter 13 - Will you marry me??

Xander let's go home I said barging into his office, carrying my bag.

No I still have loads of work to do, he said signing some damned documents

Okay then I said and went home by myself and he didn't even try to come after me.

Seriously? What was wrong with him

I went home a took a nap.

I was awoken by a knock on the door

I went to open it lazily and saw Zoe.

What are you doing here and why are you dressed up like you're going to a party?

First off I took a day off from work she said smiling and I'm here to take you out on a date.

Seriously? You took the day off just to take me out on a date?!

Yeah obviously

So go dress up she said dragging me upstairs

I went to shower and Zoe picked a dress for me. She chose an ocean blue gown with a black heel, the heel isn't too high for a pregnant woman she said with a smug grin

Get dressed! She said flinging the dress to me

And be fast you sloth!

I quickly got dressed and she dragged me outside and opened the car door dramatically

You're crazy! I said getting in the car

She got in and started driving

Where are we going?

You'll know when we get there she said.

And I'm not exaggerating if I say the smile on her face could split her face into two

She drove for ten minutes to a fancy restaurant and which I didn't know exists

We entered and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful with few people in it

And there was a slow romantic song playing

I was admiring the place..

and turned to ask Zoe to take a picture of me when I saw Xander kneeling behind me with a diamond ring in his hand

Jennifer Thompson...will you marry me?

I was beyond speechless as tears welled up in my eyes.

Xander looked anxious as I kept mute

Won't you say yes? Zoe said annoyed with my reaction

I..... yes I'll marry you I said with tears streaming down my face

He slid the ring on my finger, stood up and kissed me softly

Everyone applauded and we broke the kiss remembering that we're in public

He led me to the table and Zoe joined us. The waiter brought the menu

Zoe and Xander ordered first and I was still debating on what to eat cause I don't wanna eat anything that'll harm the baby

I later ordered chicken casserole and we started eating.

Xander was smiling and Zoe was grinning ear to ear

What's wrong with the both of you. I said annoyed. This pregnancy was really affecting my mood.

One minute I'm happy the next second I'm annoyed or angry

They understood I was in a bad mood again and stopped smiling

I've lost my appetite I said pushing the plate away. But you've barely eat anything! Xander said looking concerned

Do you want to make me eat everything and throw it up later?

Are you guys done? let's leave I wanna sleep.

"I'm done" Zoe quicky said even though I knew she wasn't satisfied with my request but she had no choice

Xander paid and we left.

Zoe went to her car and got in when I went to her. Can I ride with you? Huh?

Your boyfriend's behind you she said gesturing to Xander who was waiting for me to come into his car.

I wanna ride with Zoe I told him. He looked kinda hurt but he knew if he opposed I would throw a tantrum so he agreed reluctantly

Zoe glared at me as I entered her car and sat at the back

I'm not your chauffeur! "Come and seat Infront with me" she barked

Okay fine! I said getting out and sat in the front with her.

She started the engine and drove a bit slow as Xander was behind us

Can you go a little more faster? "I'm sleepy" I said yawning

Okay fine she said and stepped on the speed my hair whipping my face

I think the air made me come to my senses and I realized I've hurt Xander with my action

Zoe also looked uncomfortable but she was my bestie and understood me

I was already dozing off when we got home and Zoe helped me out of the car into the house

I sat on the sofa and Zoe sat beside me Xander sat opposite us

Guys... I'm... sorry I said looking down

They both looked surprised and Zoe touched my forehead.

Are you okay? Yeah I'm perfectly fine I said confused

The Jennie I know would never apologize even when she's wrong.

This pregnancy has really changed you

I agree Xander said laughing
