CHAPTER 24: RESTROOM PROPOSAL

They arrived first just in time in Jenson's bar. Jenson met them at the entrance waiting for them.

Henley received a message from his phone. "Hey, I catch up with you two upstairs, I will get this. I will be right up in a few minutes."

"Okay, bro, see you upstairs." Jenson said as they both walked up the stairs. Sophie turned her head back to Henley and saw him still smiling in his phone. She tried not to mind but she felt something weird.

They settled down in their usual spot and she already saw some foods then wines. She sat down quietly pretend to be cool. They talked about Henna and kids while waiting for Henley. They started drinking when Henley arrived at their spot. But did not expect to see someone she does not want to be there.

"Hey, guys, Tori is here." He said smiling widely that Sophie got irritated. But did not show it to them. She pretends to smile and be cool. Deep inside her heart was in pain.

"Hi." She said to Jenson and even kissed the cheek for greetings then facing Sophie. "Hi, Sophie. It is good to see you again."

"Hello, good to see you too." She was giving her a small smile.

She sat down opposite to her while Henley was like in between. Jenson excused himself for a while leaving them alone. Sophie observed Tori talking to Henley closer. As if they were just the two of them and it pissed her off.

She poured some wine in her glass and drinks it straight.

"Hey, you, okay?" Henley asked as he watched her.

"Mmmm…"

They continued talking a couple of minutes. And she was there drinking even they joined her with the topics. In her mind was not comfortable with the situations. It is killing her brain and her heart watching them.

She needs to get out for a while before she drinks the whole bottle and her heart was heavy. She stood up without telling them. She went to the private restroom and she can feel she was already a little bit tipsy.

She went inside straight to the cubicle. She peed all the liquid she drank. Flashing the toilet then headed out to the sink to wash her hands and face. Her eyes started to drop a tear. But she took a deep breath to control it. She wiped her wet face dry with tissue before she lay down on the couch.

She looked around the restroom and it is nice that Jenson's design was unique for putting couch for resting. She closed her eyes for a while before going back to their table. She wished her girls were with her tonight to lesser the pain she felt.

Henley wondered what took Sophie too long in the restroom. He knew she was safe there because only them can go inside their spot and access the private restroom. He followed his eyes when Sophie stood up without saying a word to them.

He was planning something to her. To know if she feels the same feelings for him. He can see the way she looks at Tori as if she was jealous. George already arrived after she was in the restroom and it has been a while she has not come back.

He excused himself and followed her to the private restroom. He found her resting her head back on the couch. He locked the door as he goes inside then sat beside her.

He strokes her cheeks. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

She slowly opened her eyes to look at him. She did not say a word only stare at him.

She wanted to tell him that it's killing her inside. The word "JEALOUSY" written inside her heart.

Sophie closed her eyes thinking why he was here with her. He should be with that b*tch.

"Why are you here with me Henley? You should be with Tori." She said without opening her eyes.

He smirked knowing her tone was like a jealous girlfriend. "Are you jealous of her?"

She quickly opened her eyes. "Of course, not. Why would I be?" She rolled her eyes, denying.

"Really? Because I can sense you really are, my love." Henley teased.

"I… I don't know what you are talking about." Sophie denied.

"Yes, you are. So, tell me why are you jealous of her when she is with me?" H sits up straight cupping her both cheeks.

Sophie could not look at him in the eyes. "Because… I …." She paused. "I am not jealous period." She slapped his hands and stood up angrily.

Henley stood up too. "Then, tell me if you are not jealous then why you looked piss right now?"

She glared at him murderously. "Okay, fine, I am jealous. I am jealous because I am falling for you. I am jealous because what I feel is not friendship anymore. It is more than that." She burst out what's inside her heart. "I love you not just being my male best friend but more than that. Happy now?" She wiped her tears falling from her eyes.

She looked at him. He was smiling at her. "Are you making fun of me now that you know what I feel and smiling?" He moved closer to her wiping the tears.

"Because I love you too." Her eyes and mouth were wide open from hearing him say. "I waited for this day to come that we have the same feelings. I keep it up for quite sometimes not to make it obvious."

"What? what!"

"I love you too more than being my best friend. I love you too and I want you to be my girlfriend officially. Would you be my girlfriend, Sophie?" She nodded.

He kissed her passionately and the heat from their body became more aggressively. Her hands started to move down to unbuckled his belt. His hands lifted her dress up to her waist. He lay her down on the couch.

"Let's do it quick again. They are waiting for us outside okay." She nodded. Moans and groans heard them inside the restroom. A quickie way for them to release what they feel for each other.

"I love you." Henley said to her as he helped her wipes the sex they just shared. He buckled his belt the last part of his clothes.

"I love you too." She replied.

They were both standing in the middle of the restroom ready to go back to the table when Henley took out something from his pocket then kneeled down to her.

"Sophie Liu, will you be the honor to be my wife?" Henley smiled.

"What!" Now, she was very shocked. "You are proposing me inside the restroom." Her eyebrows rise.

"Well, I wanted to wait for the right time but this is the right time disregard the place. And, I do not care about the place, all I care is that I want you to be my wife, it is now or never." He grinned. "Will you accept me and marry me tomorrow?"

"What? Tomorrow?" She was crazy with Henley sudden proposal without agenda just go with what he feels right. She nodded many times before the word that Henley wanted to hear.

"Yes... yes!"

From that, he slipped it in her finger then carries her around the restroom for happiness that he accepted her proposal.

"I love you so much. I cannot wait to marry you. But it is not tomorrow, I want to do it the proper way." He said as he stared at her. "I just hope not too long okay."

"I love you too. Thank you!" She kissed his lips few times. "How about two weeks from now." He nodded more with grin.

They went back to their table and Jenson was already there with Tori and other guy she did not know.

"What took you both so long?" Tori asked with curiosity.

"Sophie rested for a while on the couch. Her alcohol tolerance was quite low so I let her be." Henley winked at her.

"Hmmm… is that so? Not the other way around." George grinned. "Not the ring on her finger?"

Jenson and Tori both were glanced at her hand. "Hey, I never seen that when you both came in."

Henley smiled and said, "Well, I proposed to her and she said yes."

"In the restroom." Henley nodded. Tori slapped his shoulder. "Stupid." Everyone was laughing. Sophie smiled.

"By the way, I am George, Henley's handsome cousin and Tori's husband." He said as he introduced himself to Sophie then shook her hand.

"Husband? Your husband?" Sophie said as she faced Tori.

"Uhmmm…"

Henley grinned widely. "My cousin George was two years ahead of us. When you came with Rhianna, they already graduated but fell in love with Tori. I was their bridge."

"Yeah, right, after graduation, we got married." Tori added. "That is why we were close until now, because of him I found the love of my life." George held Tori's hand. "Even I was younger than him."

"Wow, I did not know that." She faced Henley with murderous eyes. But her heart was at ease now. Tori was not Henley's past.

"So, when will be the big day?" Jenson asked. "Henna will freak out when I will tell her tonight when I go home." He laughed thinking his wife's reaction. "But you are not pregnant, are you?" He added.

"What! No, not at all." Sophie blurted out.

"I wanted to marry her tomorrow. But she said it is okay two weeks from now. She just wants a simple wedding too just families." Henley answered.

"Daddy sure will going to be happy that you finally settle down." George smiled.

The night was a happy night for all of them with the good news for Henley and Sophie. They love to witness their wedding.

They called in the night as all of them satisfied with their get together. It was just sad that not all their friends were there to witness their special moment.

When they got home, Henley and Sophie continued the celebration in bed. Sharing their love confession, a while ago through their bodies.

Sophie woke up first that morning. Henley was still asleep by her side as she grabbed her phone to check some messages. Flooded texts they got in their group chat for Henley and Sophie. She smiled reading all their conversations then decided to reply all of them.

Henley's eyes slowly open with the feeling of small commotion he felt to his right side of the bed. She found Sophie was smiling looking at her phone. He grabbed her waist closer to him.

Sophie turned her head when she felt his arm. "Good morning darling!"

"Morning, what are you smiling at?" He said snuggling her and kissing her forehead.

"I was just reading texts with the group and they were so funny and hilarious." She said putting down her phone and cuddling with him back.

"Really? What did they say?" Henley was slowly kissing her eyes.

"Well, they were laughing at you. How could you propose in the restroom, of all places in the bar?" Sophie laughed too.

He smirked. "I know it was weird and absolutely crazy. But I just felt that time was the right time to do it. No matter where and when it just did." Then his kisses travelled down to her cheeks.

"I know, my love, I feel you there. I do not have any regrets when I said yes to you inside the restroom." She kissed his lips. "I am so lazy to get up."

"Mmm… me too." He still did not stop kissing her lips. "I love you so much."

She slipped her hand into his boxers, stroking it as he growled loudly. Sophie touches making his little Henley much harder.

His touches down to her wetness. It soaking then he flipped her onto back and pulling her ass in the air. He holds her hips tightly holding his length towards her folds. Then he slowly pushed it little by little until his full length goes inside. He slammed himself back into her. She screamed out aloud.

Luckily, they were the only person in the house and it was embarrassing if Lovely was there with Steven. Their morning exercise was very intense than before. Her screams will reach to the other part of the house.

Henley stamina was very unbelievable that morning and she did not know what it got into him.

They went back to sleep after that more rounds. It was like they filled up what they were missing those days, months they haven't had sex.
