Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1- Will you marry me?

Rain was splattering down onto the ground and sliding down the window: the same window that Dave and Nora had been poised at, watching the rain. Dave's hands were clenched in his pockets, one pocket being the one that a small, velvety ring box. Now was the perfect time to propose: he knew that he'd frequently seen it in those romance stories. But how did someone go about doing that? Did they just pull out the ring and go, "Will you marry me?", or wait for the other person to talk first? There were so many questions left to answer for Dave, all of which left his heart hammering in his chest, but the biggest unanswered question for Dave was, will she even say yes?

"Nora," Dave said suddenly, and his girlfriend turned to look at him. He was sweating, it was obvious, but he didn't care; this was his moment of bravado. He whipped the ring box out of his pocket so fast that Nora couldn't make out what it was. And rapidly changed his position from standing to kneeling on the floor with the box in his hands. Nora's eyes widened, and her mouth gaped as Dave sputtered, "I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"

Nora had her hand cupped over her mouth to try to hide her shock, but here Dave could see from her eyes that she was smiling. Slowly, her head bobbed up and down in a nod, and she kneeled, pushed the ring box down a bit, and kissed the now-know-fiancee thing for him to slide the ring onto her engagement finger. She looked at him and said excitingly,

"Yes… Ouch!"

"Nora, What are you saying?" An angry-faced young lady is seen standing beside the bed. She looked at Nora, who had just woken up from her slumber, with icy stares.

The Rainy day scenery has changed to a bright and sunny day. Nora can be seen in a different scenario. Everything happened like a dream. Yes, it's a dream. Nora was just dreaming. She dreams every time, and it is all about Dave.

"Yeah, Rose. Why did you hit me? You just woke me up from my beautiful dream." Nora yelled. She glared at Rose while touching where she was hit.

Rose was amazed. Anyway, she is used to it. She is tired of this silly dream Nora dreams every day. "Wow!!, You dreamt about this man for five years. Can't you give up? Did he sleep with you or."

Nora immediately sat on the bed, maintaining eye contact with Rose. Although icy stares were coming from Rose's eyes, she didn't mind. Her eyes were sparked with joy, showing her dimple smile. She interrupted,

"No…, No…, He proposed. He wanted to put the ring on my finger. You ruined everything. Don't wake me up again when I am dreaming." Her sparkling eyes darkened. She was angry she was woken up. She wanted to say, 'Yes, I love you. I will marry you. I love you so much.' Unfortunately, her dream was ruined by Rose, she could not say those words.

Rose glared at her, then yelled

"Ohhh Nora, So when it is a wet dream, I should not wake you up. I should leave you moaning."

Nora glared back angrily. Her eyes became Red and bulge. She was pained. She had been waiting for him, and she would keep waiting.

"Yes, Rose, it would be nice. I have loved him since 8-year-old." she snorted and laid back on the bed.

"Seriously!!." Rose gaped, then left the room. She slammed the door angrily, which sounded loud.

Nora ignored her. Lying on her bed, Her eyes were tightly closed, she wanted to go back to the dream world. She couldn't go, her lips were pressed firmly together. She rolled on her bed, and eventually, she fell off "Ouch!"
