"Hey baby you ready?" Maybelle ask as Corny opened the door to his house. Friday had finally come and he was ready. He had his whole speech planned out and everything. He was just hoping for the right response.
"Almost come on in." Corny said taking her hand and leading her into the house. He gave her a quick kiss before rushing off to the back to finish getting ready.
"Day three of intergration on the show. I'm surprised that we even made it past day one." Maybelle said as Corny exited the hallway back into the area where Maybelle was sitting.
"I'm not. Have you ever noticed how many more adult male ratings have gone up since Negro day and even now?" Corny ask sitting down next to her.
"Yes, and teenage boys too. I wonder why." Maybelle said truly curious.
"Because you have the most beautiful woman hosting." Corny said making Maybelle blush. They looked at each other for a minute before Corny pounced, devouring Maybelle's lips. Maybelle wrapped her arms around Corny's neck pulling him down as she layed back.
"Momma tell Corny to hurry up!" Seaweed banged on the door interupting their moment. Maybelle pulled away from Corny and fixed her lipstick, and gathered her purse.
"We're on our way sugar." Maybelle yelled back through the door as Corny gathered his keys and the ring from it's hidden spot. They walked out the house and hopped in the cars, heading to the show.
"What took y'all so long?" Seaweed ask but shortly after he noticed that Maybelle had no lipstick on.
"Ooohh. Eww." Seaweed said partly grossed out.
"Boy you and Penny kiss infront of us so often y'all may as well be connected at the lips. Don't rain on my parade." Maybelle said pulling up to the station. They all pilled out the cars meeting each other at the door.
"Come on baby we got a show to do." Corny said opening the door for her. They all walked to their dressing rooms and got dressed and ready for the show.
"Come in!" Corny said as he heard a knock on his dressing room door. Maybelle stepped in the room and sat in the big chair in the corner. No words were said between them just looks and expressions. Corny fought off the urge to scoop her up in his arms and kiss her sensless for as long as he could but after a few moments of looking at her just sitting there he lost all control.
"Y'all rea-oh!" Link opened the door to ask but after seeing the couple in the middle of a very heavy make out session, he dicided to let them be. The show didn't start for another 3 minutes anyway.
"Yo crackerboy you were supposed to go get momma and Corny." Seaweed said walking up Link.
"Sorry man. They were busy." Link said his tone of voice suggesting that they were doing something else.
"Getting busy?" Seaweed ask, becoming furious.
"No man they were makeing out." Link said walking past Seaweed discusted by the thought of two older people going at it.
"Oh. Good. I'll go get them." Seaweed said walking away.
"Uh hum." Seaweed cleared his throught alerting them of his presence.
"The show starts in less than 2 minutes. Momma fix your lipstick and Corny wipe my momma's lipstick off your mouth." Seaweed said all in one breath then rushing out of the room. They did as he said and hustled out behind him.
"3, 2, 1." The camara man stated rolling camara.
"Welcome to the Corny Collins and Motormouth Maybelle show. I'm one of your host Corny Collins!" Corny said opening the show.
"And I'm your other Ms.Motormouth Maybelle." Maybelle annouced.
"Now usually We would be doing roll call for the council but I have something diffrent planned." Corny said. He took Maybelle's hand bending down on one knee.
"Corny wha-" Maybelle started to ask but could finish because she was at a loss of words.
"Maybelle, the first time I saw you I told myself I was never going to get the chance to even be in the same space as you because you were too perfect. The way you sang and dance and how gracious you were and still are. I count it a blessing everytime I get to see your loving face. I love you more than anyone could ever love a person. I am so deeply in love with you that i'm afraid if I fall any deeper i'm going to fall to the middle of the Earth. I feel honored to know that you chose me to be in a realationship with when anybody could have been in my shoes. Maybelle will you marry me?" Corny said tearing up through half of his speech. He pulled out the ring box, opening it amd presenting it to her. Maybelle was flattered. This was her one chance to be happy with her true love and she was going to take it.
"Yes. Yes. Of course I will." Maybelle uttered out through many tears of joy. Corny smiled sliding the ring on her finger. He stood up and gave Maybelle a huge hug before kissing her sweetly.
"They say it's a man's world
Well that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by his side," Link sang walking out with the rest of the council. Corny held Maybelle close as they were front and center dancing together. The song ended and they continued on with the rest of the show.
"See ya next time folks!" Maybelle and Corny said signing off.
"Aaand We're off." Edna said as the camara's were cut. Everyone let out a sigh, walking off of the set. They all crowded around Maybelle congratulating her and Corny, before scampering out of the doors to get home.
"Come here." Corny said pulling Maybelle close to him.
"What?" Maybelle ask suductivly.
"I love you and I can't wait to start a new life with you." Corny said rocking side to side as if they were still dancing. Maybelle stepped out of her heels to her normal hight and rested her head on his chest as they rocked right there in the studio.
