Chapter Fourteen- Down On Bended Knee.
A week later...
Okay so it didn't work, acctually I even think it made things worse now isntead of atleast speaking to eachother they don't. They act like two strangers on the street. Maybe I shouldn't of taken it this far I mean maybe if I hadn't maybe they'd be toghether now.I'm going to see Charity in a bit, see how's she's doing.
Jessica and Simone were circulating around Charity's room, debating wheather to go in or not.
" how's she doing?" Simone asked.
Jessica shrugged " she really hasn't been doing much just moping around in her room...this isn't like her."
" do you know why?"
" it has to have something with that trip."
" that's what I thought."
" so should we go in?"
"I---"
"you know I'm not deaf I can hear you, you know" Charity said as she opened the door.
" oh really? how much did you hear?" jessica questioned.
" I'm doing fine, no I won't tell you why I was in my room...and no it wasn't because of that stupid trip...see look I'm fine and I'm gonna be late for work so if you don't mind." Charity set heading downstairs.
"that's a whole set of bull and you know it!"Kay said heading upstairs.
"Kay, what are you doing here, comming to see how your plan worked out."Charity snapped.
"okay, I deserved that...but you don't deserve to walk around pretending your fine when your not."
"I don't know what your talking about." Charity said as she casually walked into her room, Simone, Jessica and Kay followed.
"really, then let me refresh your memory.Miguel proposed and you refused, because you still aren't over what happened."
"where'd you hear that from."
"take a guess."
" obviously you've seemed to forgot some things too, he cheated on me not the other way around!"
" trust me I remember all that."
" so what else is there to talk about I refused and I'm happy with that so if you excuse me..."
" no" Jessica cut in " if you were 'happy' you wouldn't of been moping around."
"that has nothing to do with it."
"then what is it?"
" it could be tons of things I could of been working, or just relaxing after the trip I had."
"sure, or that you really wanted to accept Miguel's proposal, but you were afraid he'd hurt you again."
"look we've went over this before...I'm not scared."
"who do you think your fooling Charity?" Kay questioned " it certainlly isn't us, you know just as well as we do you didn't accept this preposal because your scared what happened two years ago will happen all over again."
" is that so wrong I mean he did it once, what would stop him from doing it again." by this time Charity, Kay, Simone and Jessica were all sitting down.
" Miguel knows he made a mistake, people do that...and if I know him he'll stop at nothing to prove that he'll never mess up like that again."
" I don't think I can trust that anymore."
As you can see Charity needs some tough love and lots of convincing but don't worry I've got this covered,why don't you go see how Miguel's doing, while I beat some sense into my beloved cousin.
***Flashback***
" Is she here Bigs?"
" you just missed her, is something wrong sir she said her final goodby's"
" Dammit!"
" what is it sir?"
" I'm an idiot that's what."
********************
" Miguel! open this damn door!!" Marcus said in a threatening tone, as he Josh and Jhon waited behind him.Miguel didn't answer." if you don't open this door..."
" it's already open!" Miguel said from inside.
" oh." Marcus said as he walked in with Josh and Jhon following.
" what do you want?" Miguel said facing the window.
" I want to go out with Cream, I want a million dollars, and...I want to know what the hell is your problem?"
" what?"
" you've been moping around all week since you came back from this trip. What happened?"
" I told you nothing happened."
" oh my God, was there really a cross dresser really looking for love!?" Josh said in all seriousness.
"what!? No you idiot."
" hey! there is no room for name calling here man!" Jhon said." just because Charity dumped you doesn't mean you have to be bitter."
" who told you that."
"minor details." Marcus interrupted" look were al worried about you man, looks to us you've been in this room for awhile."
"no I haven't." Miguel faught.
" oh really, so that's why you have a beard, you smell like ass and boose,and your hair looks...damn you look like sh*t man" Jhon pointed out
" do I?" he asked observing himself to see if what Marcus had said was acctually true.
" well yeah," they all said in agreement." look we love you and all but how the hell are we supposed to bring the ladies over while your punk ass is still here!" Marcus said.
" seriously man your ruining our gig, raining on our parade being a poop disterber..." Josh trailed on.
"okay Josh I think our friend got the point." Jhon interupted.
" now we know! that Charity turning you down really upset you and all, but the Miguel we all know and love wouldn't quit" he said putting his arm around poor Miguel" oh no! he would go after the woman he loved!"
" yeah, and he wouldn't stop until that girl had his ring on her finger." Josh added.
" so take a shower, get a shave, and go to work!"Jhon encouraged.
" yeah but what about Charity?" Miguel asked.
" well you need a plan." Marcus said as he pondred.
" yeah but don't you two usually meet on the way to work" Jhon pointed out.
" yeah, yeah he does alright I just got the best idea!" Marcus said."by this time tomorow you'll be back to your old self."
Wonder what Marcus has up his sleave, I hope it's something good.Better be.At least he's having better luck with Miguel Charity is so damn hardheaded.
" okay I'm sick of this I'm going to work." Charity said as she stormed out of the house.
" wait a minute Charity we aren't finished!" Kay said running after her.
" I am" Charity insisted as she jumped into her car, and sped off, leaving the three behind.
" there is no getting through to her is there!" Jessica exclaimed exhaustingly.
" I guess I rubed off on her" Kay said, as the Simone and Jessica looked at her." what!?" Kay said.
Obviously that was a bust let's see what's going on with Miguel.
"so you know what to do right?" Marcus said.
" yeah." Miguel said as he started towards the door.
" alright good luck!"
" I don't need luck." Miguel said slyly.
" see that's what I'm talking about!" Marcus exclaimes as he watched Miguel get into his car and drive off.There was a moment of silenece between the two guys for awhile as they watched Miguel's car drive off.
" dude! imagine if it really was a cross dresser!" Josh said happilly.
" right Josh" both Marcus and Jhon said toghether.
Charity got all the way down the street and met up with the same type of traffic she got before all this happened." traffic" she grumbeled as she clenched the strearing wheel angrily. " scared!" she laughed as she spoke to herself " I'm not scared what's to be scared of!" she said as she turned on the radio to get her mind off of things.
" hey everybody did you miss us!"
" it Peaches and Cream back in our home sweet home of Harmony"
" back by popular demand were giving you the touchy feely, my man broke up with me, my girl cheated sad love songs."
" hum" Charity laughed.
" those always hit the spot!" Cream said sarcasticly.
" sure do!" peaches added" anyways here Boyz II Men with ( down on bended knee) on Hk97"
'darling I , I can't explain were did we loose our world?
you know it's driving me insane.
And I know I just need one more chance to prove my love to you
if you come back to me I'll garanty that I'll never let you go...
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
can't somebody tell how to get things back the way they used to be?
oh God give me a reason I'm down on bended knee...
I'll never walk again untill you come back to me...'
Charity continued to drive tottally ignoring the song she was supposed to here, as she her cellphone rang.she searched for it.
" hello?"
"hey."
"what do you want?"
" you to listen to me."
"fine.speak."
"...I'm sorry."
" yup."
" I'm sorry for everything."
"gee, where have I heard that before."
" could you pull over?"
" were in traffic Miguel I don't think that's gonna happen."
" fine, I'll come see you"
" what are you talking about?" Charity said as she heard a knock on her window. " oh God!" she sighed as she opened the door and slid out." why are you doing this?"
"because, I love you." he said "look , I know I messed up big...but if you give me a chance I swear that I'll never hurt you again. Charity I can't change the past , but I promise to make our future worth your while."
"so you expect me to let you slip this ring on my finger,so we could be happily ever after?"Charity said softly.
"basiclly yeah." he said as he bend down on one knee.
"oh and would you mind not turning me down, everybody's watching us" he said as they both watched the crowd of traffic fixaded on them." Standish will you marry me?"
" c'mon say yes lady !" one of the passengers said.
" oh please say yes the poor boy went through so much trouble."
" say yes!"
" so what's it gonna be? can I call you Mrs.Lopez-Fidzgerald or what?"
Charity looked at the crowd, and then looked down at Miguel, she smiled and nodded " okay" she said softly as the crowd roared, Miguel slid the ring on her finger and spun her around.
I knew those two could put their swollow their pride, and give into what we all knew was true.Well...at least with a little push from the most beutiful and talented narrator, yours truly. See you at the wedding.
