“What” Carmen said following him

Each stair had rose petals scattered all over them with a rose on each stair with one of the cards attached.

Carmen went to talk but nothing came out.

“How the fuck you suppose to get up the stairs” Andrew laughed
“Erm…okay” Carmen said picking up the rose and reading the card aloud
She eventually reached the top.
“Ok what’s it say you’re killing me here?” Andrew stood behind her
“Follow the arrow” Carmen looked to her left “Oh my god is there enough rose petals.”
Andrew turned and laughed “Oh my god you’ll be cleaning these for months”
Carmen packed her stuff and then lifted everything she needed
“Absolutely no way am I getting left in the dark now, I’ll drop you off” Andrew stated
“It’s probably just her being funny it will be my Christmas present or something you know what she’s like”
“I want to see it, and if it’s a car you need to share it with me” Andrew stated
“Shut up, it’s not a car you idiot”

They reached Bette and Tina’s and Mason came running out the door

“So you need to put this on” Mason said handing Carmen a blindfold
“Absolutely not” Carmen stated
“You need to!” Mason said
“Gives it here she’ll be wearing it” Andrew said putting it on Carmen
“Ok follow me” Mason said taking her hand
“You nervous?” Lisa asked
“Lisa what is she planning don’t lie to me it’s against friendship code of conduct”
“Yeah you don’t scare me, Jess does” Lisa laughed
“Just breath and you will be fine” Bette smiled
“Is everyone in on this?” Carmen asked
“I have no idea what’s going on” Andrew stated “I swear”
They all stopped outside Jess’s side of the house
“Ok I’ll take it from here” Jess smiled taking Carmen’s hand
“No its fine were happy to help” Andrew smiled “You can’t cut me out now I’ve been with her every step of the way”
“I meant I’d take her hand you idiot” Jess laughed
Jace was following everything with the video camera he had also set one up a hidden camera in Carmen’s to capture everything
“Ok watch the step” Jess said
“Baby what are you doing” Carmen asked
“Absolutely nothing” Jess smiled
“Could have fooled me you have some amount of cleaning to do at my house” Carmen said causing everyone to laugh
“And there was me thinking I was setting the scene” Jess smirked taking the blind fold off revealing all the candles.
Carmen rubbed her eyes and looked around the room.
“Ok so I got this made for you” Jess said handing Carmen a box
“A message in a bottle?” Carmen laughed
“Open it” Jess smiled
“No No No look at the candles first” Mason interrupted
Jess laughed
Carmen lifted the white candle first “Snow in love” Carmen smiled “how cute are you”
“And this one is call Christmas eve because well it’s Christmas Eve, and they are Yankee candles your favourite” Mason smiled showing her the red one
“Well remembered” Carmen smiled at Mason
“She even got you the biggest ones” Mason smiled
“So I see” Carmen laughed opening the message in the bottle
“Ok you need to read it aloud” Lisa stated
“I want to send you a poem
But don’t know how to rhyme
I tried other people’s
But copyright’s a crime”
