CHAPTER FOURTEEN
(chapter title – Surprises Everywhere)

After we reached the loft, my stomach kept doing flip-flops, I don't really know why. As I waited for Mark to open the door, he covered me in kisses. I untucked his shirt and started unbuttoning it. He fumbled with the keys and finally got the door unlocked. We walked to the couch and started making out. Once while we were on the couch, he took off my black jacket and threw it on the floor. After that, clothes went flying everywhere.

Ten minutes later, we were completely naked, lying on the couch, breathing heavily. Mark kissed my forehead and looked into my green-gray eyes.

"I love you, Mary." He whispered.

"I love you, too, Mark." I whispered back. He kissed my forehead again and we just laid there – me on top of him.

--------------

Two weeks later, Mark asked me to marry him. It was so sweet the way he asked. We were just having a spaghetti dinner, just the two of us, when all of a sudden the song, When You Wish Upon A Star – my favorite song in the world, started playing. I set down my wine glass as Mark asked me to dance with him – we slowly danced around the loft, when all of a sudden, Mark gets down on one knee and draws a small box out from his pocket.

"Oh my God!" I breathed as he opened the jewelry box to reveal a simple gold wedding band.

"Mary Marie Sheppard, will you marry me?" Mark asked. I felt tears in my eyes.

"Yes! I'll marry you!" I told him as he slipped the band onto my left ring finger. It fit perfectly.

My day off work, I called Mimi, Joanne and Maureen and told them to meet me at the Life Café. I was seated at a booth towards the back of the restaurant. I heard the bell ding over the door and saw three figures walk through the door.

"Guys! Over here!" I called, waving my arms up and down. The three of them laughed and made their way over to where I was sitting.

"Mary, what is it? Is everything okay between you and Mark?" Maureen asked. I laughed and nodded. She and Joanne sat across from me while Mimi sat down next to me.

"The reason why I asked you guys – I mean ladies here is because I was wondering if you wanted to be in my and Mark's wedding." I asked. All three of them screamed 'yes' at the same time.

"Okay, okay!" I laughed. I picked up the pepper shaker and turned it around and around in my hands.

"Mar? you okay, chica?" Mimi asked. I nodded and motioned for her to get up. She got up without any questions and followed me to the ladies room.

"Mimi, I was wondering if you wanted to be my Maid of Honor." I told her.

"Si!" she squealed. I laughed and hugged her tightly.

"You just have to promise me something – don't tell Maureen and Joanne." I told her.

"Don't worry, Mar. You can trust me." The little Hispanic dancer answered. Together, the two of us headed out of the ladies room and back to the table where Joanne and Maureen were sitting. The four of us ordered grilled cheese sandwiches and Cokes. The three of them teased me about having my favorite food as a bride. I playfully stuck my tongue out at them and took a bite of my grilled cheese sandwich.
