I Knew It!

I Knew It!

Something had been bothering Emmeline all week. Her roommate had been acting strangely excited for her upcoming game, and the only time she could remember Skye being excited for a soccer game was when she played her first game. Another thing were her brothers. Ronald and George haven’t been talking to her much in their usual selves since that day that they had lunch with Jae. And speaking of Jae, he’s been an absolute dream. By that she meant that he was staying out of her way most of the week to let her practice, but they usually had their never planned dates spread through the week, but he’d completely avoided her.

Skye stepped into her room to give her back the brush she borrowed a few odd hours ago. Emmeline noticed the glare of her the ring on her left hand and swallowed. “Oh shit.” She said loudly.

“What is it?” Skye was completely caught off guard, and was very surprised at Emmeline’s random out burst.

Emmeline looked at her pointedly, “Its tonight isn’t it?”

Skye looked thoroughly confused, “What’s tonight?”

“He’s gonna do it tonight, after the game isn’t he?” She said quickly, her heart racing.

Skye looked really confused now, “Who’s gonna do what?”

“Jae, he-he’s gonna do it!” she stammered, shock overwhelming her.

“Emme you’re not making any sense, now come on we have to hurry, your going to be late, and I guarantee you Jae and Ron are already there. Here, let me get your hair.” She said quickly, grabbing her thick blonde hair.

Emmeline could read the look on Skye’s face, she was trying to hide something, “You knew!”

“I knew what?” She said, her hands working quickly to tightly braid Emmeline’s hair.

“You know! I know you know! Why didn’t you tell me anything!” she cried.

Skye gave a frustrated sigh as she tied the end of her hair, “Emme I’ve no idea what your talking about. Come one now we have to leave, you’re going to be late for your own game.”

She lost the game. But it was okay, there was something she was looking forward to afterward.

“Hey Emme, you were great out there.” Ron said, then started to babble on about the exciting bits of the game which she wasn’t paying very much attention too.

She turned her attention to Harry, who came out from behind Ron and kissed her, “Sorry bout the loss.”

She grinned. “Its okay.”

“So off to the Triscuit for dinner then?” Ron piped afterward.

“Is that all you think about? Food?” Skye asked rolling her eyes.

“There are other things,” he trailed looking at her.

“Oh knock it off you two lovebirds!” Emme called.

The foursome split their ways outside the restaurant as they were leaving when Ron claimed that he needed help with a few documents and asked his fiancée to take a look at them. She graciously agreed leaving Emmeline with Jae.

“Fancy a walk?” he asked her.

She was in no rush. None at all. Smiling brightly she responded, “Yes.”

“You seem pretty happy, seeing as you lost the game today, usually you’re a bit against.” He commented

“What?” she snapped.

“Well, uh, I mean, um, well you’re usually very um, unhappy? When you lose?” he attempted to fix his mess of a line.

“What I’m not allowed to be happy that we lost?” She said.

“No, its totally okay for you to be happy but it is a bit strange, agh danm.” Then he muttered something she didn’t understand.

“Sorry didn’t catch that last bit.”

“Nevermind.” He said quickly.

“Jae, what did you say?”

“I said, this wasn;t how I pictured this going.”

“How what going?” she asked slowly.

Jae sighed, and reached for something in his pocket. “This, you, me screwing things up, asking you to marry me.” He muttered to her holding a ring in his fingers up to her face.

She gasped loudly and attacked him to the ground with a fierce kiss.

He pulled himself off her, “So is that a yes?”

Emmeline smiled down at him and nodded, his arm unwound its self from her and he placed the ring on her finger. She brought his head back up for another searing kiss. She moved her lips from his after, “I knew it!”
