Chapter 15: Engagements of The Heart
It was now early into the evening and everyone parted ways. Cam went to go meet Leann. He was going to take her out to eat and propose to her tonight. Dustin was taking Marah out to eat as well for Valentine's Day. Shane and Hunter were going to hit a club in hopes of finding some single ladies. Blake and Tori were at her apartment eating dinner and talking. Tori's apartment was very nice. She had a two bedroom apartment. Her living room had two white Ikea (AN: I love that store!) couches and navy blue coffee tables. The candles on the tables were light blue and accented the room very well. Tori and Blake were seated at her island counter that doubled as a breakfast bar and dining area.
"This baked chicken and red potatoes were good, Tor." Blake said as he finished the last of his food.
"Wow, does Roger Hanna not feed you guys?" Tori couldn't believe that he finished everything, second helpings and all.
"Yeah, but home cook food is the best." Blake said as he reached his hand out to Tori.
She took his hand and held it into hers. "Do you want to go for a walk or something?"
"Sure." Blake got up first from his bar stool and offered Tori his arm. She gladly took it and the two walked to the beach.
In the meantime...
Cam and Leann had just finished dinner and were just talking about everything and nothing. Cam was a little nervous; he was going to propose to her tonight. The waiter approached them and handed Cam a single red rose. Cam thanked the waiter and handed it to Leann. Leann took the rose from him and held it to her nose. She smelled the beautiful scent and saw something twinkle from within it. She took a closer look at the rose and found a two-carat emerald shaped diamond ring. She removed the ring and looked at it for a moment. Cam then got up from his seat, took the ring from her and got down on one knee. "Leann Amano, I have known you all my life and I want to love you for the rest of my life. Please do me the honor of giving me your hand in marriage."
"Oh my gosh...yes! YES!" Leann said as she helped Cam up and met him for a soul-searing kiss. "I love you Cameron Watanbe."
"And I love you soon to be Leann Amano Watanbe." Cam picked her up and spun her around the room of the restaurant.
At the club...
Hunter and Shane were sitting at a table in the back of the bar and lounge. They were not having any luck finding single women. It seemed like everyone had someone special in his or her life. Hunter who was staring at his glass of coke asked Shane, "Do you still think of Skyla?"
Shane looked at him and answered, "Every moment of every day man."
"Oh," was all Hunter said in response.
"Do you ever think of anyone special?" Shane asked already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, sometimes, but it can never be more than it already is." Hunter said as he fell further into deep thought.
"You're talking about Tori aren't you?" Shane inquired his love stricken friend.
"How did you know?"
"Oh come on, Hunter we all can see it whenever you two are together."
"That obvious huh? It doesn't matter anyway she loves my brother and that's the way it should be." Hunter said defeated.
"You'll eventually get over it. Come on let's go back to my place and chill." Shane offered.
"Alright." Hunter said.
Back at the beach...
"So you got up everyday at five in the morning and rode with Dustin and then rode with Hunter in the evenings?" Blake asked Tori. The two were sitting on the beach talking the night away.
"Yep, Dustin hated it at first, but he got use to it and Hunter needed a new riding buddy. They were both great teachers. They were very patient with me, but I have to admit I learned the most about riding from Hunter. Dustin just showed me how to have fun with it." Tori said as she picked her head up off from Blake's shoulder. The two were now staring into each other's eyes. "I missed you, Blake."
"I missed you, Tor. I thought about you everyday and kissed your ring for luck before every race. I am so glad that we made it this far." He told her before he met her for a kiss. After the two broke apart Blake placed his hand in his pocket and took out a blue velvet box. He opened the box and in it was a beautiful gold ring with a marquis cut sapphire and baguette diamonds on each side of the blue stone. He took Tori's left hand and said, "Tori Hanson, I love you and I don't want to ever lose you. I know that we have more challenges to face as I prepare to leave for Europe for another six to nine months. I know that we are not ready to get engaged, but please accept this ring as token of my love and commitment to you." He placed the ring on her hand. "This ring symbolizes my promise that I will always love you and come back to you."
Tori was in shock. He was being so sweet. She totally did not expect for him to do all this and the ring was absolutely beautiful. "Blake Bradley, you have made me the happiest girl on this planet! I love you!" The two met again for another kiss.
"I say we finish this up inside hmm?" Blake said as they broke away breathless.
"I say we shall." Tori and Blake stood up. Then he picked her up and carried her back to the apartment. Tori let out a giggle of delight as Blake kicked the door to her apartment closed.
