'Yes. Let's'' Came Rick's reply.
As they entered the Au Revoire resturant, they were kindly greeted by a young waiter who seated the couple to their seats and then handed them a menu.
''Thank you'' Evelyn said, smiling sweetly. Rick noticed this and felt a little tang of jealousy.
The waiter left to let them make their minds up about the meal they would be having.
''What a nice waiter! You don't see many of them these days, most of them are just intrested in the money that they earn''
Rick just 'hmm'd not wanting to agree on what she said.
''Anyway, there was a reason i brought you here tonight. I would of thought you would of guessed that by now but i take it you were more intrested in the waiter'' Rick gave her a cheezy smile, to let her know he was joking.
Evelyn gulped.
EVIES POV
This would be it. My would turned upside down by just one question. Seems funny really, but it's scary more than anything. I've known Rick for around three months, i think...i think i love him but i can't tell whether it's true or my mind is playing a trick on me. If he asked my hand in marrige...i would have to reject it. It's not right, what if one day he leaves me? One day he disspears out of my life forever never to be seen again. I couldn't go through with it. I must tell him no.
RICKS POV
This would be it. I ask her hand in marrige. Surely she won't regret, how could she? I think she loves me, i know more than anything that i love her. It's true, i've never known a woman like her. She means everything to me, i hope i proved that by saving her life in Humanuptra. We shall have to see...
Rick dulged deep into his jacket pocket to bring out a little box, he then opened it up.
He took one deep breath before asking; ''Will you marry me?''
Evelyn was stunned, like in a trance. She finally opened her mouth and spoke;
''No...no i cant...i'm so sorry Rick'' Her eyes were full of tears, she got up from her seat and ran out.
''Is there a problem Mizz?'' Asked the waiter as she left.
''No, no. Nothing'' She replied.
Rick sat back on his seat and sighed heavily. He got up and went to find Evelyn.
'Sorry boy, we won't be dining tonight. Here's £10 for you'' Rick told the Waiter.
''Thanks Sir'' He replied.
''EVELYN!'' Rick was having trouble to catch up with her. He finally caught up with her, and pulled her around and pushed her into him.
''Evie...what's wrong with me? What is it?'' He said.
Still full of tears, Evelyn was finding it hard to talk.
''Nothing...It's me. Rick...i don't love you, i never have. I'm so sorry'' She pushed her way out of his embrace and continued running. Rick just stood there, gutted.
He decided to go a local pub for a bit of thearpy, so he called it. While sitting there, he gulped down at least five beers before seeing a black haired woman, with blue sparkling eyes, much like his own. She noticed him looking at her, so she sat next to him.
''So...who do we have here?'' She whispered into his ear.
''Rrrrrrick. I'm kinda drunk'' This made the woman laugh.
''Most of them are, would you like another drink?'' She asked.
''Nooooo...i'm fine'' He replied in a drunken tone.
''So my place or yours?'' She laughed.
Evelyn returned home to find Johnathon waiting for her.
''What's up baby sister?'' He asked, noticing her past tears on her cheeks.
''Oh Jonathon...Rick asked me to marry him and i said no. I just don't love him'' She was lieing, she knew herself.
''Don't worry, i'm sure you'll make up. Anyway, changing the subject would you like to asscort me? It would take your mind off things''
''I don't feel up to it'' She replied
''Come on! Get ready and let's get outta here!''
''Give me five minutes''
''My place is just around the corner...'' The woman said.
''Uh huh, okay take meeeeeee there'' Rick replied and the woman locked arms with him to support him.
Evelyn and Johnathon were intending to go to the same pub as Rick went, Johnathon noticed them first.
''Um...Evie? Let's take a short cut'' He impied, trying to avoid Rick and the woman of the night.
''No, it's okay. I like this way better'' She replied. And then she saw them.
