"Oh come ON Lils, you know you want to" Bam Margera taunted as she looked over the photos' of the lead singer to HIM. "Bam, he's nice and all but I don't know If I could. I mean, he photographs well but wouldn't he be too big for just a photo/interview-tour?" Lily questioned her best friend while staring at him with her light blue eyes and tucking a lock of shoulder length brown hair behind her ear. The skater gawked at her "Lily Maxell, it's Ville fucking Valo. Girls would kill to SEE him, they want to have his children for Christ's' sake". "I could have done without that last part. I mean, some teen wanting a twenty-somethings' children just screams court-case". Bam grinned "Aren't you glad you're not a teen anymore". Lily sighed as she looked upward and mouthed "Thank god. ." then started aloud "Scariest years of my life". "Please do it, I really would love you forever. .more than I already do" the skater grinned wildly and she groaned "Aaahhh, how can I say no to THAT?. .Fine, I'll do it but you owe me lunch". "Done deal. Thank you!!" he hugged her against the wall. "Oh, Bam!" she hugged back the best she could then jumped to answer her phone that rang two seconds later. She was positioned to where she was on the desk on her knees and elbows while holding the phone "Hello?". "Hey baby, want to do lunch?" her boyfriend on the other line answered with slight excitement. "Ummm, hold on. .". She took the phone away from her ear and asked Bam "Can we take a rain check on our lunch date? Michael wants to take me out". The skater scoffed at her then pouted "Fine". Putting the phone back, she started talking "Yes, Bam says it's fine". He laughed on the other end "I suppose he owes you a lunch date?". "Yeah" she sounded happy then waited for him to tell her when and where. "Alright then, well, meet me at Peppers' in fifteen. Okay?" he asked as she physically nodded "Okay, see you in a bit. Love you". "Love you too" he responded and they both hung up. "I'll take you out tomorrow. Talk to you later babe" Bam kissed her forehead and she told him bye before grabbing her coat and heading out the door to meet Michael.
She and Michael Rette had been dating for two years after they met at Peppers' Café. Their drink orders had gotten mixed up. Since then, their first date was at a movie, second was at a restaurant and the third he cooked her dinner at his place. They actually didn't "hook-up" till their fifth date three months into their relationship. He worked as a back-stage hand for lots of shows and did some producing on the side while she worked as a musician interviewer. Specifically for a magazine called Music Blend. Today would officially mark as their two-year anniversary. He was 24, she 22. Her best friend in the whole world since she was nine was the famous skater Bam Margera. He liked Michael a lot, said that he was best thing that happened to her since she grew boobs. He was such a dork. Crossing the busy Pennsylvania street in her black pumps, knee-length skirt and black button up underneath a black blazer, she saw the little café and Michael waiting outside. He was absolutely a dream standing there wearing black Element shoes, slightly baggy but still figure shaping jeans, a red t shirt that had some black design on it and a black tux-like jacket that all seemed to somehow compliment his pale but sun kissed skin, warm blue/green eyes, and shoulder length bright blonde hair that was kinked in dreads.
"Michael!" she smiled as he caught sight of her and smiled back "Lily!". They shared a hug and a kiss before going into the little café. It was fashioned very simple. Bar-tables set for two with the occasional booth while the bar was set up with liquor and very clean. Red and gray linoleum flooring while the walls were decorated with pictures of different art-forms. It was a nice place but still casual. They sat at their usual table in the back corner by the large window that displayed the outside view on the side walk while in huge yellow letters it stated the cafés name. The café had quite a few people already there. "Hey you two, let me guess, the usual?" a young 19 year old girl with black shoes, pants and a white button up, her hair fashioned in a brown bob, her eyes a pleasant dark blue color smiled at them. "Hey Ashley. Yeah, the usual" Michael smiled his easy smile and the girl nodded "Comin up" before walking off. "She's such a nice girl" Lily commented to which Michael nodded "Yeah she is, real sweet too. I hope she gets into that college she's been saving for ". Lily agreed "Oh yeah, god knows she deserves it". "Well now, back to here. I have something to tell you. . ." his voice trailed off kind of nervously and she pinned on it "What's wrong?". "Well, we've been together for two years and I've come to a decision. ." he dug around in his pocket and Lily felt her stomach tighten. Ashley was at their table, putting their drinks in front of them when he pulled out a pretty, little, red velvet box. She shifted her gaze into his and stumbled over her words nervously at the first thought that came into her brain "What. .are you. .". "Lily Ann Maxell, will you. .marry me?" he opened the box to reveal a gorgeous, slender, platinum band with a single diamond on it. Surprise and complete shock wracked her whole body as she gasped "What? I. .oh my god. .". The hopeful look of love in his eyes made her heart freeze up in emotion as she finally got out "Yes". His smile grew as he got up from his seat and put the ring on her right ring finger then kissed her with passion. "Well?" Ashley spoke up and Michael practically yelled "She said Yes!!". Cheers were heard from the back as the bar tenders clapped, the guests of the restaurant clapped and Ashley pushed her knee up and her right arm and pulled them back with a "Yes!". They got their lunch free. As the exited they café, she started talking "Oh my god, I have to call people! I've got to call my mom. .and your mom! And we have to get things set up for a wedding, I have to shop for a dress, and. ." her ranting was silenced by him kissing her "Darling, relax. we'll get this sorted out in due time. I'll see you at home tonight, okay". "Kay" she mused and kissed him again before parting to go back to her job. Not like she'd pay much attention now. Whipping out her cell phone she dialed 2 on her cell to speed dial Bam.
"Yes?" the skaters' voice answered in a light tone. "I'M GETTING MARRIED!!" she screamed into the phone and she heard him curse before he talked again "A little less volume a little more English". "Bam, I'm getting married. Michael proposed and I said YES!". There was a stunned silence then a round of cheer on the other end "Congratulations!! Oh wow, we are celebrating tonight! I've gotta tell everybody. I can't believe he didn't tell me he was gonna do it". She laughed "I'm so glad I have your support". "Well why wouldn't you? I love you to death Lils, he makes you happy and that's what I want to see" the skater had a sensitive moment and she started crying with happiness "Aw fuck, you're making me cry". "Aw dry up woman, I'll see you both tonight" he hung up and she did the same. Excitement flowed through her veins as she started dancing and singing back to work.
