Last time
"Oh no!" exclaimed Calleigh
Now!
"What's wrong Cal?" asked Jesse.
"Yeah Cal," asked Ryan.
"Calleigh?" asked Natalia.
Tears started streaming down Calleigh's face.
"It.. Ryan.. My dad just had a heart attack," said Calleigh. She buried her face in Ryan's chest sobbing. Ryan held her close. Calleigh stopped crying a few minutes later, ordered food, then went off to call her mom. She returned a few minutes later smiling, her eyes filled with tears. "False alarm, it was just heartburn. Oh thank God!" She sat beside Ryan again and kissed him on the neck. She took a sip of her wine and Jesse reached across the table and took her by the hand and gave her a loving squeeze.
"I'm so glad he's okay Calleigh," said Jesse. Ryan smiled. Natalia hugged her best friend. They talked and laughed and the food came.
"Wow Calleigh your pizza looks delicious," said Natalia.
"Thanks, want any?" asked Calleigh. Natalia nodded. Calleigh gave her a few slices of the pizza.
"Calleigh I love your dress by the way," said Natalia.
"Thanks, Ryan started drooling when he saw it," replied Calleigh. Natalia laughed.
"Ryan join me in the restroom," said Jesse, rather quickly. Ryan nodded. The two men got up and left. They walked to the back of the room then Jesse said.
"What the heck?!"
"What?" asked Ryan.
"Natalia is practically about to murder Calleigh!" replied Jesse.
"No she's not!" exclaimed Ryan. They turned their attention to Calleigh and Natalia who were drinking wine and laughing and talking. Ryan walked back and sat down again after giving Jesse a look. Jesse turned to go into the restroom.
"Is Jesse okay?" asked Natalia.
"I'm not sure,' replied Ryan. He held Calleigh's hand under the table and Jesse walked back from the bathroom a few minutes later. He looked pale and was having a hard time walking back.
"Hey Jesse, are you okay?" asked Natalia.
"I'm not feeling well, can we head back?" asked Jesse.
"Yeah lets do that, Sorry Calleigh, we'll have to catch up some other time," said Natalia.
"It's okay," said Calleigh. She got up to hug Natalia and Jesse. Ryan shook Jesse's hand and gave Natalia a side hug.
Jesse gave Ryan money for half the meal. Ryan paid the rest then they all walked out together. They said goodbye to Natalia and Jesse then Ryan drove Calleigh to a beautiful scenic overlook.
"I'm sorry tonight didn't go as planned. Calleigh I love you," said Ryan.
"Ryan I've been waiting for you to tell me that all night," said Calleigh, putting her arms around Ryan and kissing him. They kissed for a few more minutes then Ryan drove her home.
"Goodnight Ryan, I love you," said Calleigh.
"Goodnight Calleigh, I love you," said Ryan. They kissed. Calleigh opened the door as they were kissing in front of it and they stepped backwards inside...
You know what happens next obviously.
