Chapter Thirty Four
As Jeff walked through the front door, he was met by Lily who welcomed him with open arms. She then led him to the dinning room where dinner was awaiting them. Jeff took one look at the table before turning to look at Lily
"Wow what's the occasion?" he asked
"What you don't remember?" Lily said shocked and disappointed
"Remember what? I know that it's not either of our birthdays... what else could it be?"
"I can't believe you Jeff, how could you forget?"
"Forget what?"
"It's our one year anniversary. But it obviously isn't that important to you..." Lily's voice trailed off and she had to sit down with disappointment.
"Lily I didn't forget. I was planning on giving you this later but I guess now is a good as time as any." Jeff got a small box out of his pocket and knelt down in front of her.
"I've loved you since the first day I lay eyes on you and I will love you till the day that I die. Lily what I'm trying to say is ... will you marry me?" Jeff opened the small box and placed it on the table in front of her. Lily took a quick look at the ring before looking back at Jeff,
"So you mean this whole time you knew it was out one year anniversary and you didn't say anything?"
"Yes ... but Lily you haven't answered my question ... will you marry me?"
"Of course I will Jeffy. I love you with all my heart and I really don't think I could bare to live without you." Lily said with a huge smile on her face. Jeff picked the ring up out of its box before carefully sliding it onto Lily's finger.
"Perfect fit. What do you think? Do you like it?"
"Oh Jeff it's so beautiful. I love it but ... I love you so much more." Lily said, before leaning down and kissing Jeff with such love.
Allie and Shane had just gotten out of the spa bath when Allie's mobile phone started to ring. She walked over to her bag and took it out and answered it.
"Hello"
"Hey Allie its Lily. I hope I'm not interrupting things with you and Shane but I just had to tell you something.
"And that's cool what is it you have to tell me?"
"Allie the best thing just happened... Jeff proposed to me"
"Oh my gosh Lily that's terrific. I take it you said yes"
"Yeah I sure did." Lily said with such excitement.
"Have you told Mandy yet?" Allie inquired.
"No I haven't been able to get through to her but I'll try again after Jeff tells Matt the news."
"Oh she's probably doing something with Adam, knowing Mandy"
"Yeah probably. Will you be at the show tomorrow?" Lily asked
"Yeah of course I will, Shane's got a match after all." Allie said
"Cool. Do you want to get together and watch the show?"
"Yeah for sure. You could come and watch it with my in Shane's locker room if you'd like."
"I'd love that. It will give us the chance to catch up on things because I haven't seen or spoken to you in days now."
"Yeah I know. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow and I want to know all about what's been happening with you."
"Ok see you tomorrow," Lily said
"Bye" Allie said before hanging up her mobile and going to tell Shane the great news.
Matt and Mandy were enjoying their dinner together in Matt's lounge room when the phone rang. Matt got up from the walk and walked over and picked up the phone.
"Hello"
"Hey bro it's me" Jeff said
"Hey Jeff what's up?"
"Well I was wondering, would you be my best man?"
"Your best man...?"
"Yeah bro Lily and I are engaged can you believe it?"
"Wait a second, slow down. When did this all happen?" Matt asked rather confused at what he'd just heard
"This evening when I got home from training."
"Wow congrats bro."
Mandy looked at Matt questionably before getting up from the couch and walking over next to Matt. She really hated not knowing what they were talking about.
"So bro will you be my best man?" Jeff asked
"Of course I will. Hey is Lily close by? Because there's someone here that would really love to speak to her and find out the news" Matt said smiling at Mandy
"Yeah I'll put her on. See you bright and early tomorrow."
"Ok. Try not to stay up too late..." Matt said with a little laugh
"Hey Matt" Lily said once Jeff handed her the phone
"Hey Lily. Congrats."
"Thanks. So who's this person that wants to speak to me?" Lily asked
"I'll put her on for you" Matt said before handing the phone to Mandy
"Hey Lily, what's this news I've been hearing about?" Mandy asked
"Hey Mandy, I've been trying to call you all night but you haven't answered your mobile"
"Oh sorry I turned it off before training and must have forgotten to turn it back on again."
"Oh I see been busy have you?" Lily joked, "anyway my news is that Jeff proposed to me this evening and I said yes."
"Oh my gosh Lily. That is so cool. Congratulations."
"Thanks. Now would you like to explain to me why you are at Matt's place and not Adam's."
"We're having dinner together ... nothing more."
"Oh yeah. I think you better tell me all about it tomorrow"
"Ok see you tomorrow. Congrats once again."
"Thanks. Enjoy the rest of your dinner"
"I will... bye" Mandy said before hanging up the phone and walking back over to the couch where Matt was sitting.
