Sienna held my hand as we walked to the car and thanked me when I opened her door.
“Why can’t you tell me where we’re going?” she whined. I could tell that Sienna was getting impatient.
“Babe, we’re almost there. You’ll love it, trust me.” And that’s how we got there.
It was in a small, old strip mall in town. The store sells old-fashioned candy, salt water taffy, and homemade pop tarts.
My grandmother loved the little store, so he bought it for her as a wedding gift. She turned it into a hobby and would bake pop tarts and make shakes for people. When my grandparents died, they gave me the restaurant.
I helped Sienna out of the car, and when she saw the store, her eyes got big and her jaw dropped. After she calmed down, she ran inside and looked at everything, from the pink chairs to all the chocolates and candies. She also looked at the menu and made faces at each option until she found the one she wanted.
“Please give me a root beer float and some fresh apple fritters.” She smiled at the woman at the counter. It only took a minute for the woman to make her order, and then I ordered a chocolate milkshake. When we got our drinks and fritters, we walked to a table in the back of the shop to eat.
“This place is great! If I didn’t work at Clyde’s, I’d work here. Check out all the pastries they make!”She gasped
“Do you want to work here?”I asked her if she wanted to work here. If she does, she will. If she doesn’t, she doesn’t have to.”
“Yes!” Of course! “But if you hadn’t noticed, they don’t have a sign up for help needed,” she said sadly.
I said with a smile, “Well, you’re hired.”
“You own the store?She whispered, leaning over the table.
“Yes. Yes, I do. “Actually, the family does.” I smiled at her, and her smile grew wider. Then she squealed with excitement and told me how much she wants to learn how to bake the recipes that work at the bar.
“Sienna?””
“Yes,” she said sweetly as she looked up from her float.
“Do you care about me?”I asked, starting to get nervous.
“Of course I love you,” she said, and I let out a nervous breath.
I got up from my chair and knelt on one knee.
“Then will you do me the honour of being my wife? Sienna, I knew you were perfect for me the moment I saw you. When the bond happened, I knew it was the moon goddess telling me you were mine and I was yours.
She nodded and finally said what I had been waiting for.
“Yes,” she said in shock. “Of course I’ll marry you.” She screamed and jumped into my arms, kissing my face and hugging me like her life depended on it. The other people in the shop cheered.
I slid the ring on her shaking hand, and we went back to kissing.
Sienna
When Zayn and I got home, everyone was asleep. We went into our bedroom, and as soon as I got in, Zayn pushed me against the wall and held me there.
At first, our kiss was slow, but then it got faster and more passionate. I wrapped my arms around Zayn’s neck and rubbed my fingers through his hair. He moaned and pulled me to him, and there was no space between us.
I turned my back to him and pulled away. Zayn unzipped my dress and let it fall to the floor, leaving me in just my knickers and sheer bra. He grabbed me and pulled me close, kissing my lips and moving down my neck and onto our mark. I felt tingles all over my body. Zayn growled in response and leaned away to take off his shirt. Then he lifted me up and threw me on our bed, hovering above me.
He looked deep into my eyes and asked me if I would let him have the most important thing a woman can give: her heart and love.
“Are you sure?”” He said in a whisper.
I nodded, and we made love for the first time that night.
Sienna’s point of view
I woke up on top of Zayn’s warm body, with his arms around me so I couldn’t get away. When I tried to move, I felt a throbbing pain between my legs that made me blush at the thought of what we did last night. Zayn opened his eyes and looked at me. He looked really sexy in the morning, with his cute bed head and lazy grin that made me feel really good. He leaned in to kiss me, but I turned my head so he kissed my cheek instead. When I looked back at him, I could tell he wasn’t happy with what I did.
I put my hand over my mouth and said, “morning breath.”
Zayn rolled his eyes at me as I took one of his hands off my waist and grabbed my hand in his. He leaned in again and kissed me softly on the lips. When he leaned back, he smiled at me.
“What do you think of this morning?”” He asked with worry all over his face.
“I’m just a little sore,” I said as I pulled away from him to go to the toilet. He sighed as I walked away, completely naked. When I was done, I brushed my teeth and went into the closet to pick out an outfit for the day. I’m sure Marlene already knows I’m engaged. While I was going through my clothes, I felt Zayn’s arms wrap around my waist and his head rest on top of mine.
Today is Monday, and I’m a little sad that we can’t stay home. I’ve missed enough school this year, so I need to go. I decided to wear a blue button-up shirt with a cute plaid skirt that matched my white vans and a star-charms necklace. I went into the bathroom to take a shower while I got ready.
Zayn was right behind me as I walked. I turned on the shower and waited for the water to heat up. When it was warm, I jumped in. Zayn walked in while I was putting shampoo in my hair and washed it and put conditioner in it. I washed my body with body wash, and Zayn did the same.
After brushing my hair, I decided to leave it down. I put on some lip gloss and blush and did my eyeliner. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a hickey on my neck. I can’t believe I just saw it. I can’t believe he gave me a hickey. I looked through all the drawers and cabinets for concealer, but I couldn’t find any. I didn’t have any concealer or foundation.
I ran out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, which probably scared Zayn. I ran all the way to Marlene and Tom’s bedroom and knocked on the door. Marlene came over to open it; she was already awake and dressed for the day.
“Do you have any concealer?””Why are you laughing?” I asked, my face turning red as a tomato. She looked at my neck and laughed, then nodded to let me in as we walked into her bathroom. She gave me her concealer, which was great because we had very similar skin tones, so it didn’t look like I was wearing makeup when I walked back into our room. I went into the bathroom and started putting it on my neck. Zayn walked in while I was doing this and grunted.
