Andre Harris nervously patted his pocket to make sure the really small, black box containing the engagement ring he planned to give his girlfriend of four years, later that night. He relaxed a little as he approached his two best friends that waited patiently for him by the bar.
"Hey, guys." The dark skinned man greeted the other two men, with a grin on his face.
"What's up, man?" A man with long brown hair and tanned skin; Beck Oliver greeted Andre.
"How's it going, dude?" A man with square glasses; Robbie Shapiro asked excitedly. Andre swallowed and looked at the two.
"I-I'm kind of nervous, actually." Andre confessed. Beck tilted his head at his friend with dreads.
"What for?" Beck asked.
"Well, I was planning on proposing tonight..." Andre answered.
"Really? That's great!" Robbie cut in excitedly as Beck's face fell a little. A certain raven-haired woman on his mind.
'I've got to tell Cat, it'll be good for her business.' Robbie thought as he texted his wife about the newly acquired news.
"Well, yeah...I mean, I love Tori. But I don't know if she'll be ready for this kind of commitment. What do you think I should do, Beck?" Andre asked as he looked with pleading eyes at the tanned man across from him.
"Really? You're asking Beck for commitment advice? He's slept with more women than Jade, and she's slept with a lot of women." Robbie chuckled.
"That's only because-" Beck caught himself before he revealed his ex-girlfriend's reason for sleeping around so much.
"...Anyway, I need help here, guys. What do I do?" Andre demanded, in a panicked tone. Beck sighed and shrugged.
'Jade is gonna kill me...' He thought to himself.
"Do you love her?" Beck asked Andre seriously.
"Of course!" Andre yelled, defensively.
"Can you see yourself having kids with her?" Beck asked.
"Well, yeah." Andre answered, a smile splaying across his lips.
"Then propose to her." Beck said simply. Robbie patted Andre on his back reassuringly.
"And if you go through with it, I'll pay for all of us to go to Vegas this weekend!" Robbie said excitedly. Beck rolled his eyes and tossed back the remaining alcohol left in his cup.
"Why Vegas?" Beck asked after he swallowed the burning liquid. Robbie shrugged.
"I've always wanted to try my luck." He answered. Beck and Andre chuckled.
"I'll drink to that!" Andre said cheerfully, then ordered three shots of Tequila.
Cat squealed happily as she read the text that she just received from her husband. She quickly excited Jade's kitchen and ran directly across the small one bedroom flat to her best friend's living room, where said girl anxiously waited by the front door.
"Ready to go yet? This club stops letting people in by ten and it's almost seven-thirty." Jade complained. The raven-haired girl normally worked as a bartender at a club named Part Time Punks, but tonight she had the night off. She was surprisingly in a good mood, something that usually didn't occur often for her. Cat shrieked and bounced around excitedly. She grabbed Jade by the shoulders and squealed again.
"What?! Why are you screaming and bouncing around like you're on crack?" Jade hissed impatiently.
"Andre and Tori are getting married, and I'm planning the wedding!" Cat said excitedly. Jade's good mood flew out the window, once Cat's announcement hit her ears. Cat looked at Jade expectantly, but she only received a blank stare in response. A frown crossed the red-head's lips. Jade had been harboring strong feelings for Tori ever since they hooked up once at one of Ryder Daniels' parties. They didn't pursue a relationship together, because Jade was afraid to act on her feelings. Jade only ever told Beck; her ex-boyfriend and now best friend, about her feelings for the half Latina.
"How come you don't seem as excited as I am?" Cat asked as she let go of Jade's shoulders, and her own sagged with disappointment. Jade let out a heavy sigh then made her way back to her kitchen. She numbly rummaged through her cabinets for any source of alcohol she could find. She grabbed a half empty Vodka bottle, a bottle of Whiskey, and a large bottle of Jack Daniels. She set them all down on the marble counter, then got out a single cup. She filled the cup first with Vodka. She quickly tossed it back without a second thought.
''I'm smiling on the inside." Jade said with a sigh as the after taste of the Vodka burned the back of her throat. She quickly moved onto the bottle of Whiskey, and again filled the glass to the top. She swallowed the contents of the glass quickly. She sucked in a harsh breath from the taste and the burning of her throat.
"I'm so happy, I could shit a rainbow." Jade told Cat, who was staring at her friend with a worried expression.
"Jade...are you okay?" Cat asked uncertain as she watched Jade lift the bottle of Jack Daniels to her lips and chug down the liquid. Jade let out a gasp of air when she finally pulled the bottle away from her lips.
"Never been better." Jade practically growled at the red-head. Cat jumped as Jade let out a frustrated scream then threw the empty glass on the tiled floor, where it shattered into a million pieces.
"D-Do you still want to go to the club?" Cat stuttered. Jade let out a robotic laugh.
"No. I've got all the party, I could need right here. You just go." Jade told her frightened friend. Cat decided that she would leave Jade alone, but she saw no point in going to the club anymore.
"Okay...I'm just gonna go home then..." Cat explained awkwardly as she lingered by the front door. Jade just nodded impatiently; eager to be alone so she could wallow in her sorrow.
"Jade...please don't drink all three of those bottles." Cat pleaded then left the raven-haired girl alone in her apartment. As soon as the front door closed, Jade sank to the ground. She clutched the bottle of Jack in her right hand, then pulled her knees up to her chest, and sobbed into them.
Tori ran down the street, as quickly as she could in the heels and tight dress she was wearing, to the restaurant where her boyfriend anxiously waited for her. She panted as she quickly told the hostess who she was.
"Sorry, I'm late. Michael had me running all over town today." Tori apologized as Andre pulled out a chair for her. The dark skinned man simply kissed her cheek, then sat across from her.
"It's fine. What matters is that you're here now." Andre said grinning at her. Tori chuckled and reached across the table to grab her boyfriend's hand, and squeezed it gently.
"How did I ever get so lucky to have you for my boyfriend?" She asked rhetorically, as she looked at him with all the love in the world. Andre blushed then kissed the back of her hand softly. He chuckled a little then released her hand.
"Lets eat. After dinner I have a surprise for you." He said excitedly. Tori grinned and nodded, then picked up her menu.
"Happy anniversary, by the way." Tori chirped as she read through the menu.
"You too." Andre said with a throaty chuckle.
~After Dinner~
Andre walked with Tori through a quiet park that was near the restaurant. Her arm was looped through his as she went on and on about her day at work. Andre listened and waited patiently for her to stop talking.
"And then he said I had to go to a grocery store and buy him milk! Can you believe that? So, unprofessional!" Tori complained. Andre chuckled and shook his head at his girlfriend.
"Well, you are his assistant." Andre reasoned. Tori raised an eyebrow, and glared at her boyfriend.
"You're taking his side?" She demanded. Andre shook his head vigorously from side to side.
"No, no. I'm just saying that he's your boss, and you kinda have to do what he says. Plus, it's just until we can afford a house of our own." Andre said. Tori remained quiet, but nodded in agreement. Andre sighed, and pulled Tori to the side of the narrow path that they were walking on.
"Tori, do you remember how we got together?" Andre asked seriously. Tori's face contorted into confusion.
"Yeah, Senior year, Ryder's party. I was crying on the porch steps, and you came outside looking for me. You asked what was wrong and I said that I couldn't tell you-"
"You never did tell me what was wrong." Andre interrupted with a light chuckle. Tori sighed.
"You probably don't want to know...I was stupid and drunk and I really liked-" Tori stopped talking and cleared her throat. It took her quite some time to forget about Jade, and what they did together, and how Jade just completely shut her out. Tori didn't want to go back down that road. She shook her head and looked Andre in the eyes.
"You decided not to push, so you took me home. When you walked me to my front door, you told me you loved me and that had been hiding you feelings for so long. Then you kissed me, and the following Monday we became a couple." Tori explained then looked at Andre confusedly.
"But I don't understand what that has to do with-" Tori was cut off by two guitarists coming up to the couple and playing the chords and strings to 'All I Know' by Pathway To Providence as one of the guitarists sang the lyrics to the song.
"Work..." Tori finished her sentence as she stared at the two intruders with the utmost bewilderment. Her head twisted as looked round the empty park.
"Where did they come from..." She trailed off as her head snapped in Andre's direction only to find him knelt down on one knee with a bouquet of white roses in his hands.
"I'm not really good with romantic speeches or anything but I know that I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life you. So, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" Andre asked with a hopeful grin, as he handed her the bouquet, pulled out the small, black box, and opened it to reveal a beautiful diamond remained neutral although she already knew her answer. She let out a heavy sigh then looked at Andre with apologetic eyes.
"Andre..." She said disappointedly. Andre faltered, his grin fell from his face, his shoulders slumped, and his eyes fixed on the ground.
"Of course I'll marry you!" Tori shouted cheerfully, then leapt at her boyfriend causing them both to fall to the ground. Andre breathed a sigh of relief and laughed along with his now fiancee as they rolled around in the dirt.
