“What?” I laugh softly as I run my finger against the words. The last few vases come in, along with a bag of lunch, and I can’t stop smiling. “Thank you!”
They shut my door behind them, and I immediately grab my phone.
“Dory.”
I keep my eyes on Liam, and he just watches me likenothing.
“Lee.” I wait for him to break and say something, but he only looks around his room, and I think he’snervous.
“Did you get my delivery?”
“Yes!”
He looks back down at the phone, and a smile grows on his face. “Is your answer also yes?”
“It would be if you hadasked.” The room fills with my laugh, and when I look back at my phone, he’s still watching me, but then Moon pops up behind him.
“I told him to put ‘Will you be mine?’ or something cute, but he put that corny poem, which doesn’t even make sense!”
“It’s not apoem. She knows what it means, now mind your business.” He gets up, and I break into a laugh when I notice Moon and Jordan following behind him.
“It was my idea with the flowers!” Jordan starts. “I saw your post, Sunshine. I was the one who told him to make a grand gesture to officially ask you out!”
Liam slams the door on them, and I can’t control my laugh.
I reposted a video a girl made about how her boyfriend asked her to be his girlfriend, and it was just a ton of roses on her bed with those big letters spelling outWill you be my girlfriend?butthis.I look around the room again.
“It was barely their idea,” Liam mumbles, and I smile down at him. “I would’ve sent them to your house, but I wanted you to be there when they delivered it, and I know you said you won’t be home until later tonight, but they don’t deliver after six, and I wanted you to get them today.”
I laugh at how he rambles, and nervous Liam is my favorite. “Thank you.”
His smile is back, but the second I take a picture, it’s gone.
“Wait, let me get a better one.”
“No.”
“Please, come on.” I hold the phone up so the flowers are in the frame as I smile. “I’m taking a screenshot. Smile.”
He angles the phone up to the ceiling, and I burst into laughter.
“Liam Leslie!”
He mumbles, “Jesus Christ,” before getting in the frame.
“Say, Sage Loana Hale is my girlfriend.” I give him a bright smile that shows my teeth.
“Sage Loana is mine.” He smiles with his teeth, and I know he’s only mocking me, but he looks so cute. When I break into another laugh, his smile turns more genuine, and I take another screenshot.
“Did you eat?”
“You already asked me that.” I bring my phone closer and open my camera to take a picture of all of the flowers.
“I asked at breakfast. It’s lunch—come back to the camera; I’m talking to you.”
“Wait, I’m taking a video of the flowers.” I'm also thinking of posting the note, but a couple of million people are going to seeit, and I, of course, don’t mind, but I want that to be ours. When I go back to the call, Liam is still waiting for my answer.
“I just ate right before I did my makeup.”
