On the last Chapter….

"So... do ya love me, Choco?" he looked at her sweetly.

"Of course I do!" she caressed his cheek.

"But in da way I'se just explained?" he asked shyly.

"Oh Jack! Since a long time ago" Not even before she finished her phrase, Jack got on his knees and asked the hardest question in his life with a breathtaking shyness and innocence. He took a small blue box with an amazing diamond ring he had bought with the money he had saved for over a year.

"Would... would you marry me, doll?" For the first time in a long time, he cried.

"Oh, Jack...." Chocolates looked surprised. She was crying too....


Ok, now this is chapter 30.

Jack stood up again and sat down in the table beside Chocolates, he still looked at her and waited for her answer, never letting go of her hands. "So, doll... what do you say? Are you ready for that next step?"

In a sudden movement, Chocolates took Jack's face with her hands and kissed his cheeks. After that, she rested her face next to his and whispered sweetly in his ear. "Yes, I do.... I'm ready, Jack" They looked into each other's eyes as Chocolates couldn't avoid the tears coming out of her eyes.

"Oh... I love you!"

"I love you too, Jack!" She hugged him with all her strength "I love you too!"

"So... let's put this little thing on your finger, ok?" He whispered and she just nodded "But, let me take these off!" He delicately said when he removed her white gloves. He looked at her adoringly and slid the ring through her finger. "So, how do ya feel?"
"About what exactly?" The girl smiled.

"Ya know about what, silly!" He joked.

"Called me silly?" She laughed and mocked him. "How rude, I'm SO offended!" she placed her hand in her forehead.

"Wha... are ya a lil' drama queen now, I'se jist asked how didja feel!"

"Ok, food is served." The waiter finally arrived.

"I feel great, ok?" She playfully slapped him. "I'm happy."

"Just happy, doll?" I started to eat. "I mean, it's our engagement you should be... dunno."

"Jack, you have no idea of how happy I am. It's like very girl dreams to get married with a prince and be his princess and go to a palace. To live happily ever after, you know? And I feel like I'll have that."

Jack laughed. "I'll make you happy, because I'm the happiest man on the world right now."

"I've heard that from so many men."

"Well, they're wrong 'cause I'se the happiest man on the planet."

"You know, I've noticed something."

"And what is it?"

"You're losing your accent, your new yawk accent."

"With the time I'se spends with you, I'll end up speaking like a genuine guy from Boston..."

"Let's eat, shall we?" She proposed.

"Whatever you say, ma'am"

All the excitement didn't allow them to finally leave the restaurant after almost two hours. Without knowing what to do Chocolates proposed to go to her apartment because they still had cake from last night. They also had a few sandwiches over there.

"And do ya have tequila at home, Choco?"

"Don't even make me remember about that!"

"Nah, truly... You're a wonderful singer."

"Jack, I was drunk" She giggled.

"'Ode to Joy' is a pretty song, but I didn't know that it was even prettier in Spanish!"

"So, did I really sing that?"

"Yup... Don't wanna eat cake so let's go to that couch. C'mon..."

He led her to the couch and they sat together, where she rested her head in his chest and neck and wrapped her slender arms around his waist, he just threw his arms around her shoulders and rested. In way, they felt old, Chocolates was 18 and Jack 19 but they felt like 70. They both hoped that things could still be like that for the next hundred years, it seemed impossible but they wanted to try.

"I'll have to get used to this." Chocolates whispered when she hurt her other finger because she forgot about the ring. "This is heavy."

"You deserve somethin' bigger, love. But... that's all I can give ya."

"No, sweet cheeks, this is the size of your head... is big enough."

"Do you like it? Tell me the truth."

"Well" she held on to him "If I fall from Brooklyn Bridge, I'm sure I'll go straight to the bottom. Nah, kidding... It's gorgeous, it's breathtaking." She repeated as she looked at the white gold ring, with a huge diamond.

"I'm glad you like it do—"

"I love it!" She interrupted.

"But you're still wearing my mom's clover, right?"

"I think you should look a little more, I'm wearing it now." She moved away from him and pointed the clover in her blouse. "See?"

"Uh-huh" he nodded. "Now come back here, you smell lovely!" he pulled her close to him again and adopted again the position they had before. "When are the goils coming, baby?"

"Soon, I guess. It's almost night time now."

"Hello..." Spaz, Bookworm and Sparks said in chorus. "Empress, Turtle, Sunny and Hoops say hi! And also Shadow."

"Oh, I'll see them anytime tomorrow" Chocolates looked at them.

The girls stayed with Jack and Chocolates talking for almost three hours, the engagement theme never came out. The girls notice something different when Jack and his girl had an almost 10 minute kiss to say goodbye. After Jack left, Chocolates smiled to the girls and ran to her bedroom, slid into her nightgown and went to sleep .Sparks was Chocolates roommate; she woke up very late at bight to get a glass with milk. She noticed a very unusual glitter on her roommate's left hand. She immediately ran to the other girls' room and woke them up.

"What?" Spaz stood up.

"I think" Sparks was very excited. "I think Jack proposed to Choco... I'm sure!"

"Why?" Bookworm wondered,

"I saw the ring... It's the size of your head!"

"Let's go!" Spaz jumped.

The girls ran back to the other room where Chocolates was peacefully asleep. They kept staring at her left hand, hypnotized, until one of them decide to talk. "Yeah... Da's an engagement ring. And a very beautiful one"

"So... do we wake her up?" Bookworm took her hair out of her face.

"Da's a challenge, goily. Wake this lil' lady up!" Sparks laughed. "It's impossible."

"We can pull her from her feet..." Bookworm gave the idea.

"What if we all fall in top of her... that'll wake her up?" Spaz looked up.

"Sure?" Sparks prepared herself to jump. "Or we can move her bee like a..."

"Earthquake, like an earthquake?"

"Yuh..."

"Let's do it"

The girls jumped to Chocolates's not-too-big bed and started to move it, until she finally started to show small signs of awakening.

"Ok, ok... what do you want?" she yawned. "I'm awake already."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Sparks demanded.

"Tell you what?" Chocolates raised an eyebrow.

"Let say ya were too tired to remember." Spaz pointed at her. "We'll assume that."

"You're engaged kid." Bookworm told her.

"Oh yeah, I am." She admitted. "How do you know?"

"Da ring... duh!" Sparks patted her back.

"So... what do you think? Do I have your support to plan this whole thing?"

"Yes!" The girls answered in unison and hugged her.

"So..." Spaz had a few doubts. "Didja set up a date already?"


Ok, I think that's enough for chapter 30. Yes... these guys are engaged and IF they ever get married will be great huh? My so-called twist is a little about that little thingy. Well, kiddos if I don't get to see you, or I don't get to update tomorrow I wish you a very Happy New Year and God bless you all!
