those easy 4 words? It’s not that hard.”

“’That’s why you so mad at me? Because I wouldn’t propose.” Nicholas said. Sabrina sat up quickly and turn around to him. She got up and went to him.

“Nicholas, please don’t start.” She said

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Why do I have to tell you? If you love me, you should have known.”

“I always wanted to propose to you, but it was never the right time.” Sabrina sniffled.

“What you mean?” He smile

“Every time that I tried, I get nervous. Sabrina, I’m sorry you mad at me. I just wanted this proposal to be perfect… but I think this might be the best moment.” Nicholas bend down on one knee and pulled out a small black box. Sabrina and I gasp as he open the box. Inside was a diamond ring.

“Nicholas…”

“Sabrina, I have waited so long to ask you this and I know you have been waiting too. Sabrina Lee Knight, I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you. You mean everything to me. I want to spend my life with you and start a family of our own. I already ask your Mom and Dad for permission. Now I’m asking you.”

“Oh Nicholas…” Tears filled Sabrina eyes. I hand her another tissue. “Thanks Lea.” She looks back at Nicholas.

“Will you marry me?”

“Yes! Yes! About time.” Nicholas smile and put the ring on Sabrina’s finger. As soon as he stood up, Sabrina gave him a kiss.

“Congrats you guys!!” I said. Sabrina turn to me and gave me a hug. “I can’t breathe.” I said breathlessly. Sabrina let go.

“Sorry. Look at the ring. This is the one I wanted.” She look back at Nicholas. “You have been paying attention.” She said

“Of course. It’s hard not to when you have a picture of it everywhere.” Nicholas said. Sabrina looks back at me.

“I have so much to do… Lea, I want you to be my maid of honor.” I look at Sabrina in shock.

“What?” I asked.

“Can you be my maid of honor? Please.”

“I really don’t know. I will have to go back home soon.”

“I know, but I was wondering if you could stay longer. At least leave after the wedding.”

“Why me? What about Crystal and Gabriella?”

“I don’t want them. You help me find Nicholas and we have grown close since you been here. You have been a good friend to me and the family.  Also, Crystal is too bossy and Gabriella is too much to handle. I already think of you as a little sister. Come on. Please.” I smooth my hair out my face.

‘Sigh’ “Can we talk about this in the morning? Why won’t you’ll go upstairs and celebrate. Congrats.” As soon as I gave them a hug, they went upstairs. I groan and sat down on the couch.

“What did I get myself into?” I said to myself.

 

Chapter 18

 

So, ever since that night, Sabrina have been telling everyone about the proposal. Nicholas and Sabrina decide to have a spring wedding. So they have two months to get ready. I decided to stay, but it was hard to stay away from Drake. I tried very hard to get Drake and Tiffany to hang out more and it might have worked. I convince Misses and Mister Knight to give Tiffany another chance. They agreed, but they still didn’t like her. Drake looks happy and I was happy for him. But… I couldn’t help to feel a little jealous when I would catch them kissing. Most of the time, Tiffany would kiss Drake in front of me. I was devastated because I would still remember that intimate night we shared, but I had to deal with it. Every time we would spend time together, it starts to get very hard for me to control my feelings. Lately, I haven’t been able to sleep. All I can think about is the deal with Addanc. A few times, he would come in my dreams to keep telling me about the deal. So that’s why I would take energy drinks. Now I am with Sabrina and Crystal in the kitchen. Crystal is feeding Louis while Sabrina and I are going through her wedding arrangements.

 

“Okay. I got the dress picked out. Lea, when will the dress be done?” Sabrina ask me. I put my cup of coffee down and look at the agenda.

“The dress will be done the day before the wedding.” I said

“Okay. What about the rings?” I smooth my hair back.

“They are in a safe place. Did you and Nicholas pick out the cake?” Sabrina gasp

“Crap. I forgot about the cake. When do the bakery close?”

“In three hours.”

“Oh snap. Nicholas and I have to go to our dance lesson. Crystal, can you go?”

“Sweetheart, I can’t. You know that I have to take Louis for his checkup.” Crystal said

“For what?” Sabrina asked

“Louis fangs are growing out too early. He not supposed to grow them yet. So I’m taking him to the doctors in the Shadow World.” Sabrina looks at me and smiles.

“Lea…” I groan

“Fine. I’ll go.” I said

“Go where?” Drake ask as he came into the kitchen. He got an apple and took a bite.

“Pick out a cake.” Sabrina said. Sabrina gave me a hug. “Thank you Lea. You are a life saver.”

“Yea. Let me get dress.” I said. I went upstairs, washed upstairs and brush my teeth. When I was done, I went to the bedroom and put on a masked kitty T-shirt with a biker skirt and zara sneakers. I flat ironed my hair, put on Ray-Ban original sunglasses. When I was done, I went downstairs. Sabrina gave me the car keys.

“Again, I want to thank you. You are the best maid of honor.” Sabrina said. I smile.

“You welcome.” I said as I left the house. I went to their garage. Their garage was huge. The Knight family has 6 to 8 cars. When I press the unlock button, I follow the sound and it led me to a Hyundai Veloster Turbo. As soon as I was in the car, I put on my seat belt, start the car, and drove off.  I stop at the red light and start humming to the song.

 

“Hey.” I jumped and turned around. Drake was in the back seat.

“What the hell Drake?!! You almost gave me…”

“I know. I know. I almost gave you a heart attack, but you didn’t.” He got out the car and gotten into the passenger seat.

“What are you doing here?” He shut the door.

“I want some cake.”

“Only I’m supposed to go. I didn’t invite you.”

“I know. That’s why I invited myself.”

“Drake…”

“Green light.” I drove off.

“I’m going to turn the car around.”

“Come on Lea. The bakery will close in 2 hour. So, you might as well keep going.” I groan. I hate that he is right, so I kept driving. When we got to the bakery, we got out the car and went inside. The lady look up and smiled.

 

“Finally, you’ll get here.” The lady said

“What?” I said

“Aren’t you’ll Sabrina and Nicholas.

“No. They couldn’t make it. My name is Lea, Sabrina’s maid of honor and this is Sabrina’s brother, Drake.”

“Oh. Well hello. My name is Ginger. I own this place.”

“She’s a witch and she sell the best cakes.” Drake said

“Oh. You cute and pay attention. If I wasn’t married, I would eat you up.” Drake took a step back. I couldn’t help but to laugh.

“I know a witch. She is having trouble controlling her powers.”

“Poor girl. When did she get her powers?”

“She told me she was 5 when she got them, but she was 16 when she realized it.”

“What happened when she realized she was a witch?”

“She turned us all into babies.” Drake chuckled

“Oh dear. Did she improve?”

“Well… no. She turned my cat into a giraffe.”

“That’s not bad.”

“With a cat tail.”

“Oh. Then you tell her to definitely give me a call. You already have my number.’

“Yea.”

“Good. Now we can start.” Ginger led us to the dining area. Drake and I sat down at the table. “I’m going to bring the cakes for you’ll can try them. They will be labeled. Here is the list of the cakes. You can check off which one you don’t want and check off the cake you’ll want.” She put the list on the table.

“Okay.” Ginger smile and left. I turn to Drake.

 

“Now… how do you know this place?” I asked

“When I was a little, Mom and Aunt Maria would take me here to pick out my birthday cake. You should have had a piece. It was delicious.” He said.

“It looks like Ginger don’t recognize you.”

“I never met her. I only met her Mom, Larissa.”

“Oh.” Ginger finally came back with a cart of cakes. She set them down on the table.

“Enjoy.” She said as she left.

“So… what was your aunt like?” I asked as I gave him a piece of cake.

“Well, she was beautiful and very funny. She wasn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind. She was pretty awesome. I could tell her everything.” He said

“She sound amazing. I wish I could meet her.”

“She would have like to meet you too.” I start to blush when he smile at me. I look away from him and look at the cake.

“Okay, this cake is a strawberry cake with vanilla icing.” Drake took a bite.

“We can’t get it.”

“Why not?” I asked as I took a bite. “It’s good.” Drake looks at me and raised an eyebrow. I took another bite.

“Really?”

“Yea. Why you ask?” He cleared his throat as his eyes darken. “What’s wrong?”

“You really like it?”

“Yea.”

“It has blood in it.” I spit out the cake and chug down the milk. Drake chuckle. I put the cup down. “Why didn’t you tell me before I ate it?”

“I wasn’t sure. She masked the smell. I’m surprised you enjoyed it.”

“Me too. I’m checking this off the list.” As soon as I did that, I grab the second cake and cut out a piece for me and Drake.

“What is this?” I look at the label.

“Carrot cake with French icing.” Drake took a bite. I bit my lower lip with nervousness. “So…”

“It’s alright.”

“Good way or bad way.”

“Good.” I look at Drake suspiciously. “What?”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

I groan. “Well, we still can’t get it.”

“Why?”

“I hate carrots.” Drake raised an eyebrow at me.

“Really?”

“Don’t look at me like that. I can’t help it.” I crossed it off my list.

“You didn’t even try it yet.”

“So… I hate carrots.”

“Fine.” I pour me a cup of milk. Drake grabs another cake and cut off a piece for us.

“So… what is going on with you lately?”

“What you mean?”

“You have been keeping yourself busy.”

“That’s normal for me.”

“You been eating a lot lately.”

“Are you calling me fat?”

“No. I’m not calling you fat.” He said quickly. “I just wondering if you been depressed or something.”

“Well, I have been hungry. So, I just eat.”

“Or it maybe you hormones.”

“Excuse me.”

“Nothing.” Drake said quickly. “Anyways, you haven’t slept in days. You keep drinking energy drinks and coffee.”

“I’m fine.” Drake leaned over and took off my sunglasses.

“No you not. The last time you acted this way is when that guy visited you at the pizza place.” I look away and took a bite of the cake. “Lea…”

“This cake is delicious.”

“Lea… Did he visit you again?”

“We should definitely get the red velvet cake.” Drake lift my head up so I look him
