" Ok, ok Matt stop picking on your brother," Said Melissa as she slid next to Jeff.
" But Melissa……..," Matt said with a sad puppy dog look.
"Ah, ah ,ah no buts! Come on Amy lets go so the boys have some one on one time."
"But it was just getting good!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Melissa said as she was pulling Amy out the door.
"Matt I need to talk to you about something."
"Sure what's up?"
"Well you know Miss and I have been dating for a couple of months now……."
""Yeah, you'd have to be blind not to. What are you getting at?"
"Well….. look at this," he said as he pulled velvet box from the front pockets of his jeans.
"Wow, that's some ring. Does she know?"
"Of course not!"
"Well I'm glad we started this conversation, because I have something to show you too," Matt said as he too pulled out a ring.
"You're going to ask Amy?"
"No moron I'm asking you. Of course Amy!"
"Well, just goes to show that great mind think alike!"
"Hey I have an idea…… since Amy and Liss are best friends and we're brothers maybe we could ask them together," said Matt now even more excited than he thought possible.
"That would be awesome! Good idea Matt! They'll never know what hit them!"
"Duh that's why I came up with it."
"So how should we do it? Oh and where?"
"Well I was thinking a live show, but you're better at romance than me… so what do you think?"
"Well I was thinking something a little more intimate, like going to their favourite place."
"Which is….?"
"Come on Matt use your head! They love home, they love it here, the place we first met them!"
"Ohhhh, out by the lake"
"Yes, anyway so we take them out to the lake and make them lunch."
"That's way better than my idea…. It makes it more about them. Ok so we got the where now we need the when"
"That's easy! Lucky for us their birthday's are on the same day! And it's also the most romantic day of the year… Valentine's Day. It has to be that day otherwise us planning to Take them somewhere out of the blue will seem suspicious."
"But that's in 3 days."
"I know we'll just have to work fast."
"Now that that's settled I'm going to call the girls," Jeff said as he got up off the couch.
"What for?" Matt asked doing the same.
"Well they are going to need something to wear, plus I want to meet them for lunch. I'm starved."
"When are you not hungry?"
"Hey! That's Melissa's line!" Matt just laughed as Jeff went into the kitchen to call Melissa.
"Hello?"
"Hey baby."
"Oh, hey what's up?"
"Well Mat and I were thinking about meeting the two of you lovely girls for lunch. What do you think about that?"
"Sounds good to me…. where do you want to go?"
"Ummmm, I don't know how about Olive Garden?"
"Yum sounds good! See you in 30 minutes."
"I'm counting them down. 29 minutes and 32 seconds."
"You are such a dork!" Melissa said trying to stop smiling. She loved him so much!
"But you love me anyway!"
"Guilty as charged!"
"Okay we're good to go! Is Olive Garden ok with you?"
"Sure is!"
"Let's go then." They both got into Jeff's vette and went to meet up with the girls.
"Hey Ames…"
"Yeah?"
"We're going to meet the guys at Olive Garden. Is that ok with you?"
"Sure. Hey what do you think of this shirt?" Amy asked holding up a black tank top with white flames and a pink fishnet shirt.
"It's awesome do they have one with blue fishnet?"
" Hold on let me check…… they sure do!"
"Sweet! Let's get 'em and go!"
