He only smiled at her confusion. Marni tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, knowing her usually tan cheeks were probably pink by this point. Something about his smile was able to do that to her, despite the fact that she really did hate being confused. She tapped her figner tips on the table top nervously as he only offered a smile for an answer at first.

"Don't think I've not seen how you watch me, Marni. Sure, I'm mostly clueless,"

Marni's eyes got really big. "I...I never watched you..." Marni sputtered nervously. 'Not unless it was from a distance,' she thought desperately to herself.

He seemed to press on despite her objections.

"but it's not been hard for me to see that you really like me. So, I figure that there is one question you'd probably like for me to ask you. Unless you'd rather ask it yourself?"

Marni, whose tan skin had turned a healthy shade of girlish pink by now, wrinkled her eyebrows together. "Um...." her heart beat a little faster. Was he talking about what she thought he was talking about?

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

She blinked. Had...had Fabian Prewett just asked her that? As in...Fabian Prewett...the same Fabian Prewett she'd crushed on since she was old enough to even notice boys....the ONE boy she'd pick amongst all the others but had never EVER thought in a million years this could happen. Yes. Yes he had just said that. Marni breathed, laughing a little, "Oh...wow...Fabian...I..." she tried to get it out through her excitement.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend," she answered and leaned forward to kiss him again, both of her hands on either one of his cheeks. She was on cloud 9. Nothing in the entire world could bring her down at this moment.
