Jacob had been gone for half an hour now, Connie was becoming impatient. "I'm getting another drink sweetie, can I get you anything?"

"Some crisps please." Said Grace.

Connie was stood waiting at the bar to be served. "What can I get you?" Asked the woman behind the bar.

"Large white wine and a packet of plain crisps please." Smiled Connie.

When the barmaid returned with the order Connie held out a £20 note to her. "Oh no dear, the man from the turn said he was paying."

"The turn?" Questioned Connie with a frown.

"Yes, the man you walked in with..." Smiled the woman pointing towards the stage.

The lights in the room dimmed down and the colourful stage lights came on, now beyond perplexed Connie sat back with Grace.

"I wonder what show we're going to see?" Asked Grace fidgeting excitedly in her seat.

Just then a deep voice come over the speakers. "Please welcome on stage for your entertainment tonight...SOULTOWN!" And the rest of the audience cheered as the music started. Where as Connie and Grace looked at each other, both equally confused.

There he was, Jacob stood in the middle of the stage, lead singer... Connie and Grace sat there in amazement.

The night wore on, Jacob and his band were in full swing with song after song of upbeat Motown classics. As the next song came to an end Connie put her fingers to her lips and gave a loud whistle which surprised Grace. "Since when do you wolf whistle?" She asked giggling.

Connie smiled before doing it again as the band took a bow at the end of the first spot.

"Did you know Jacob could sing?" Asked Grace when the lights came up.

"No I didn't...you enjoying the show..I know it's not your kind of music ..." said Connie.

"It's great...I can stop to the end can't I...even though it's getting late." Wondered Grace as she finished her drink.

"Sure-" "Hey beautiful." Said Jacob leaning down kissing Connie on the temple.

"Oh my god Jacob! You were amazing!" Squealed Grace giving him a hug.

"So your enjoying it then?" He asked sitting next Connie as he placed his glass of water down on the table.

"Your a dark horse Staff Nurse Masters!" Smirked Connie. "How often do you do this?"

"Not very...I used to...for a couple of years...but you see, I was made an offer I couldn't refuse by a beautiful woman!" Grinned Jacob. "I'm only here to cover for the guy that took over from me, he's been away on holiday for two weeks..."

"And that money last week...that's what you get paid for doing that." Said Connie pointing to the stage.

"Yep, £1500 to book the band for a three and half hour show...not bad hey?" Smirked Jacob.

"I can't can't believe you gave it up!" Said Connie shaking her head.

"I need to get back, just wanted to make sure you were both ok..." smiled Jacob giving Connie a slow gentle kiss. "I just hope you don't kill me later." He added before taking off backstage.

"Why would he think you'd be angry?" Asked Grace looking confused.

"I've no idea...he's up to something obviously." Said Connie taking a sip of her wine nervously.

The happy ending...

The second spot was nearly over and Connie was becoming anxious thinking about what Jacob could have meant, why would he be concerned about her getting angry with him?

Introducing the last song of the night Jacob climbed down from the stage. "There's a very special someone that came to see the show tonight..." Smiled Jacob as her walked over to Connie who began to sink into her seat hiding her face with her hand.

"Jacob...no!" She groaned when he took her hand pulling her up. "Jacob!"

"Everyone...this is Connie...the love of my life..." Said Jacob into the microphone and the crowd whistled and cheered. "...And I'd like to share this last dance with her."

Connie blushed. "Your right...I am going to kill you." She whispered into his ear as she wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder as the music started and Jacob began to sing.

Swaying to the music Connie smiled as she listened to the lyrics, completely lost in the moment enjoying Jacob's arms around her.

The song came to an end, leaning up Connie placed a gentle kiss on his lips before turning to sit back at the table with Grace but Jacob had different ideas. He kept hold of her hand, keeping her stood in front of him as he started to speak again. "I love you."

Connie frowned. "Love you too." She told him.

"You and Grace are my world..." Jacob continued. "...I never thought I would find this kind of love...from the very first moment I laid eyes on you I knew...I knew you had the power to change my life for the better..."

"Jacob...what are you doing?" Hissed Connie becoming uneasy.

Ignoring her question Jacob ploughed on. "I know we've not been together very long..." Connie gasped as Jacob dropped down onto one knee in front of her, letting go of her hand he reached on to his pocket and pulled out a small black box. Inside sat a shining white gold and diamond engagement ring. Tears welled in Connie's eyes.

"I never ever want to be without you again...I'm just hoping you feel the same.." Jacob chuckled nervously. "...Connie Beauchamp...will you make me the happiest man on the planet...Will you marry me?" He asked.

Connie stood there wide eyed as the whole room waited with baited breath for her answer.

A slow smile crept over her face. "Yes." She said simply and was instantly engulfed in Jacob's embrace, he swung her round as the room erupted in a cheer. "God I love you so much." Said Jacob putting her feet firmly back on the ground.

Connie moved to cup his cheeks in her hands. "I love you Staff Nurse Masters."

Shaking Jacob took hold of Connie's left hand gently pushing the ring onto her finger. "It so beautiful, thank you." Beamed Connie.

"Not a patch on you sweet cheeks." Said Jacob.

"Let me see...Let me see." Said Grace running up to the couple.

"Your ok with all this?" Connie asked Grace.

"Definitely! This is so cool." Said Grace excitedly.

The trio hugged, still stood in the middle of the dance floor they were approached by the rest of the band and other well wishers offering their congratulations.

The End.

Hehe...hope you enjoyed my twisted imagination, if you could take the time to let me know what you think that would be amazing. And please be honest...I'm still learning.

Many thanks
