... Sooo tired...! Last night I couldn't sleep so I wrote alot, and today I finished off what's available of the Black Butler anime... Season two had such a stupid ending, the manga is on my to-read list. Random little shout out to my dad (who will never read this) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I own next to nothing.

I began humming loudly, following a recipe for lemon loaf I found on the Food Network's website. I'd never made it before, but the ratings promised it'd be good.

"Who could that be?" I whispered, hoping it was Vaughn. I looked through the peep hole to see a pair of blond heads. I opened the door.

"Hey Mark, Melody." I welcomed the couple in and closed the door behind them.

"Good evening, Chelsea." Melody greeted me with a smirk.

I re-positioned myself in the kitchen so I could work and chat at the same time, "What brings you two here?"

When I turned to face them, Mark's face was bright red, a highly unusual occurrence. "Umm.." He started.

Melody flipped her hair, "We're getting married."

I swear I nearly dropped the bowl of ingredients I was whisking. "Married?" I asked, considering that they had been dating for a good few years, this was the natural step up from practically living together, "Congrats and all that, but Melody, I thought you didn't want to get married."

The girl smiled, her cheeks turned a lttle red and she turned her head towards my brother, "Mark talked me into it."

"Congrats again," I smiled, "Well, celebrations are in order! Wanna stay for dinner? I'm making lemon loaf and ramen."

Mark chucked, finally regaining his composure. "That sounds really tasty and all, but we're having dinner with Melody's family."

"Awwww, boo." I pouted. "Have fun, kids."

"Oh, hey there, Vaughn. Just get back from shopping?"

I finally picked up all the bags and looked sideways at an old friend of mine. "Hey, Mark. Melody." I nodded at the two and pushed the front door open with my foot.

"How are you and Chels doing?"

"W-what?" I felt blood rush to my face.

"Oh come off it. Everyone at work knows you two hit it off, I just wanted to say that you have my blessing. Maybe we can have a double wedding." The blond man smiled wryly. His girlfriend smacked him, a ring on her left hand glinted in the poorly lit hallway.

"Congratulations." I said, stiffly would be the word I think.

"Think about it, yeah? Later."

I closed the door behind myself and tried calming myself with a few deep breaths while putting everything away. Seeing that I had two messages, I pressed the button.

"You have two new messages," The strange mechanical voice said. "First new message."

"Hey buddy, it's Shea. Just calling to say hi, wondering how far you and Mark's sister have gone, the usual," My friends voice was interrupted when his uncle dropped something in the background. "Well, gotta go, talk to you later, bye."

"Hello Vaughn, this is your father. You left me a message earlier saying you wanted to introduce me to someone. I hope this someone isn't the reason Sabrina broke off your engagement, I would hate it if her father stopped supporting your mother's restaurant. Call me and we can set a date."

So, no meeting Vaughn's darling Pa yet, so sit tight for another little bit (though hopefully not too long).

It's been so long since I started writing this story, I hope I'm not messing the chars up...
