Chapter 9 : DJ tells her family the good new!

The next morning around 9 am, she gets her family all together at the breakfast table. Once everyone was eating and it was silent, DJ spoke up, "Hey everyone. I have some good news to share with you."

Everyone looked up and Danny said, "What is it, dear?"

DJ smiled, "Steve and I are engaged to be married."

Danny shockingly interrupted, "WHAT! You're too young to be married."

DJ reasoned, "I'm almost 18, dad. And besides, we plan on a wedding when I'm 20 at least."

With a sigh of relief, Joey put in, "That's good. It gives you time to think about it and concentrate on your schoolwork."

Once breakfast was over, DJ asked, "May I go for a walk, dad?"

Danny questioned, "And where do you think you're going?"

DJ said, "I'm going to go visit Kimmy since I haven't seen her in a while."

Jesse smiled, "Go ahead. That's better than her coming over here." HaHaHa

DJ left for Kimmy's, but there was no answer at her front door so she decided to take a walk to Steve's house. By 11 am, she was knocking on Steve's front door. Steve's mom answered and said, "Oh, hi dear. Steve's not home right now."

DJ wondered, "where did he go?"

His mom replied, "He told me that he was going out someplace and would be back very soon. Would you like to wait for him?"

DJ smiled and waited in his room. She was lying on his bed and admiring all his things when Steve charged in angrily with Madeline at his feet. He looked at DJ and yelled, "Why are you here?"

DJ whimpered, "I'm just here to see you. What's going on?"

Steve yelled, "Madeline, get out of my house and stop following me everywhere! Get a life!"

He was just about to pounce on her when DJ got up to break up the argument. She seriously demanded, "Enough is enough. Steve, please go downstairs. I need to talk to Madeline alone."

Steve relunctantly left the two ladies there. DJ asked, "What's going on, Madeline?"

Madeline starting tearing up, "He doesn't like me anymore. We went out to breakfast this morning and then that was the end of it."

DJ was angry with Steve now, "Yeah. That's because I'm his fiancé, not you. Please stop following him around or I'll call the police on you. There are fines for stalkers, you know."

At that, Madeline ran out of the room and shortly left the house completely. Ten minutes later, Steve walked upstairs and felt a little better but didn't like the expression on DJ's face. DJ shut the door the minute he got into the room and demanded, "What were you doing out to breakfast with her?"

Steve quietly said, "I didn't want to go with her. I just went by myself and she was imposing on my privacy and she followed me home."

DJ pondered, "I left you for one night and you've already gotten me mad. How could you already cause some mischief? Maybe it's not such a good idea that we're engaged. Even though I told my family already and they're happy."

Steve whispered, "It's fine, dear. I'm sorry about all this and I promise we'll never see Madeline again. I love you with all my heart and want the very best for us. So, what do you think? Want to get down to business now?"

DJ said, "I'd like to, but I can't. After all, I told my family I was going to Kimmy's, not here."

Steve, regardless of what she just said, shoved her on top of him on the bed and began making love to her. As he caressed her, she whispered, "I'm sorry for not understanding earlier. I didn't mean to yell at you, baby."

Steve understood, "I know, honey. I'm so proud of you for sticking up for me."

After a half hour went by, DJ asked, "I better call Kimmy now...it seems like forever since I've seen her."

She sat up and dialed the phone to Kimmy's house. Luckily, Kimmy answered, "Hello?"

DJ said, "Hi. It's me. Want to meet me at Steve's and we can go out for pizza?"

Kimmy smiled, "Of course. I'll be right over. "

DJ added, "Don't stop by house because I'm at Steve's now. Ok?"

After she hung up the phone, Steve asked, "Where are we going with the Gibbler?"

DJ replied, "I just suggested pizza. It will be a celebration of our engagement too!"

At that, they both dressed and then Steve proposed something to her. When he was out this morning, he had picked up an expensive beautiful diamond ring. Steve said, "This is for you, my love."

DJ was dazzled, "Wow! It's beautiful!"

She planted a long kiss on Steve's lips. Just then, Kimmy came in and saw the last of their kissing, "Well, hello."

DJ greeted, "Hi Kimmy. Ready to go now? We're definitely ready now."

Kimmy led the way downstairs, followed by the couple. They notified Steve's mom where they were going too. As the couple held hands and Kimmy walked alongside, they walked a block to Pizzeria Unos. There, they got a table and ordered one large pizza. As they were waiting, Kimmy asked, "So, what have you two been up to today?"

Steve stuck up for DJ, "Well, you know, hung around. DJ saved me from a not-so-pleasant experience just a little while ago."

Fortunately, Kimmy didn't want details but said, "So DJ, are you happy to be engaged? Wow, is that your ring? Steve is a great guy to get you something THAT expensive!"

DJ smiled, "Yeah." Under the table, she gave Steve's hand a squeeze and he returned the gesture.

Just as the pizza arrived, they ate. Kimmy offered to pay the bill when it came. Afterwards, they proceeded back to Steve's house. Inside, DJ offered, "I better be getting home now. I didn't tell my family I'd be gone this long. Kimmy, do you want to walk home with me?"

Steve was sad that he wasn't a part of this, but DJ kissed him and said, "It's ok, dear. I'll call you later. Bye, honey."

Before the girls could leave, Steve planted an even bigger kiss on DJ's hot lips. Once the girls got to their own homes, DJ went into the kitchen and found Jesse and Becky there. She then proceeded up to her room to phone Steve.
