However with a click of his cellphone, Scotty caught the image of Lilly. Though it was very like her old flame, Saccardo to do just that. His immature humor was enough for her to shoot him another one of her classic ice queen cold stares at him.

On the bus back, a man was constantly staring at Lilly not in a perverted way. She ignored him; not wanting this guy to stir up any trouble, before Scotty causally put his arm around her. It wasn't out of love but more of him being just plain protective over her.

Not long after getting off the bus, the two of them continued to walk together" You are beautiful Lil, people do look at you".

Her shoulders then bunched up, prompting Scotty to ask another question" What you don't think you are, one of the first things I've noticed about you".

"Yeah and the fact that you wanted to do me as well"

Scotty shook his head" We aren't meant to be together Lil, I'm not the type of guy you deserve".

"I just realized this is probably the first time we actually hung out together as friends".

"Did that in Tennessee remember"?

Lilly rolled her eyes" That was work, not to mention that tramp you screwed there", before he then peered up at her before following her into the hotel room. Soon after the two sat there on the couch laughing while sharing a beer together, which wasn't common for them to do so?

"How come we never get to do this back home, we been working together for six years now"?

Scotty shrugged" Just feels right, being here", eyeing her heart shaped necklace" The boss give that to you"?

Reaching over he proceeded to inspect it, before Lilly blocked it with her hand. She then pressed it against her chest; as a sign that she was only John's and no one else's. He understood just how much the two of them loved each other" Don't see him proposing to you", eying Lilly's empty ring finger" Just saying".

"Never actually thought of me getting married" sighed Lilly" I don't know if I could be anyone's wife".

Scotty took a swig of his beer, before putting it back down" C'mon Lil, you're afraid of marrying the boss when you almost married Ray".

"Don't remind me of him"; taking in another swig of her beer" I just don't want to ruin this you know".

He understood completely; but knew that he couldn't give too much advice on a subject he barely knew about. Though once engaged to Elisa; whom was now deceased, Scotty lacked knowledge on what it really felt like to love someone without screwing up.

Glancing over, he could see that Lilly was very much in love" I better get going, Nick wants to hit more of the pubs".

"Trolling for British women", speaking now in a British accent.

Scotty laughed softly, before leaving her all alone. Letting out a breath, Lilly relaxed as she then proceeded to take a long hot bath while John sat a pub downtown pondering his own relationship with her.

The more he had thought about it, the more that John was considering marrying her. However he was planning for their engagement to be long; since neither of them weren't ready to be living full time with each other as of yet.

There was just one tiny problem; he hadn't actually bought her a ring yet. John was still nervous about going through with this, but the truth was he couldn't take his eyes off of Lilly for even a second. For the rest of the trip, the two strolled around different parts of London. One particular day, she handed Scotty a camera that looked more relucent to photograph them.

"I ain't a photographer Lil".

"You going to take the picture or what", before Scotty looked through the hole seeing how both John and Lilly were looking in each other's eyes. His hand then gently stroked the side of her cheek, while soft breaths breathed out of their mouths.

Her blue eyes were like a magnet; drawing him closer as John's hand traveled down to her heart. Without breaking any contract, Lilly held it close letting him feel each beat. From underneath his hand he could feel the soft beatings; combined with the softness of her skin.

Click, Click, Click

As Scotty snapped a few more from other angles, realizing that the two were so consumed in each other that they had forgotten about him. That didn't matter anyways, as long as he was capturing every moment of their love.

With the force of love still at work, John gently pulled a long red rose before stepping away. At that precise moment, it had been caught on film by Scotty.

To him Lilly was an angel, but she wasn't his neither to love nor to touch. Her heart already had been captured by John himself; before a dose of reality slipped back in.

"Enough Scotty, you're wasting my film", snatching the camera away from him. However was able to retrieve the camera back as he then snapped a photo of both Lilly and Scotty fighting. To him their fights were among the nature of two siblings.

Needless to say the two of them slept in separate rooms that night, following an argument over something. Unfortunaly John said something that completely ticked off Lilly to no end, promoting her to sleep alone that night; which would be their last night in London before traveling to Ireland.

By that time the two were fighting so much, which John broke off the relationship causing tears to well up in her eyes. Lilly never had once expected this "Can't we try", sounding like she had done with Joseph.

"I had enough of this, I'm flying back I expect to see you at the office Rush", giving her his classic angry face along with a stern voice.

"We can't do this Lil, go find someone younger ", before slamming the door shut behind. Now torn, sad and angry Lilly slid down the door crying hard, knowing that she had just lost a pretty good relationship. On the other side, John could hear the sound of her sadness; especially how she sounded like a little girl crying.

He had enough of both dating and love. During the next few days in Ireland, Lilly refused to come out of her hotel room; thus worrying Scotty to death.

"This ain't normal; I've seen Lil after breakups but never to this extreme. You gotta do something boss; she loves you. I hear her crying, this ain't right".

John remained in a foul mood" Give it a rest Scotty, she'll get over it".

"No she won't, you think Lil will look at you the same anymore. You can't do this to her, after all she's been through".

He didn't listen but instead shut his door, leaving Scotty in the mix. All he could do was listen to the sound of an angel crying in the middle of the bed of dying roses, whose heart was now broken.

As the days then slowly passed, the angel rose before going outside to take a walk before John stood there on the docks alone.

"I'm sorry Lil, for what I had said".

Lilly crossed her arms" Thought you were heading back to Philly".

John then turned" I can't leave you here alone, not when I still love you so much", knowing that her heart was still broken. Taking her hand he then pulled her into a very long embrace, as Lilly began to feel loved once again. However as their embrace broke away he got on down on one knee.

"Lilly Rush will you marry me", presenting her with an engagement ring.

Bittersweets tears streamed down her face, before John wrapped his arms around her waist. For a moment she cried out of happiness, as he then proceeded to slip the ring down her finger.

Together they shared a small kiss, but just two days later the two of them were involved in a car accident one that would change their lives forever.
