Max POV
I was woken up by the sound of my phone vibrating on the table. I stretched my arms and slowly got out of bed. The text was from Blaze, telling me to meet her in the hot tub by the waterpark. Knowing Blaze, this was important.
I swiftly changed into my one piece and made the short walk to the elevator. The waterpark was filled with screaming people already, but luckilly the hot tub was being occupied only by Blaze. I didn't feel the need to use the stairs so I jumped in next to Blaze. We sat there for a moment, neither of us wanting to break the silence.
"So what's up?" I finally asked. I noticed that Blaze was grinning widely.
After taking a deep breath, Blaze took her left hand out of the water. Nestled in the skin of her finger, sat a ring with a diamond on it. The diamond was surrounded by leaping dolphins, Blaze's favorite animal. I squealed in exitement. I couldn't help it, I mean my best friend was engaged!
I hugged her as tight as I could without sufficating her. "How... When.. Where... Oh My God!" I couldn't even finish any of my sentences.
Blaze told me the story of how Tony had woken her up early that morning and how the had went to the park again. He had asked her the traditional way, so he had gotten on one knee, and he had almost hit a tree when he was twirling her around.
"Ah, love. I just wish it would find me." I told Blaze.
"What are you talking about? You have Chris don't you?" she asked.
I had thought about this before. Chris was a great guy, just not a great guy for me. Thats why I had broken up with him last night. I told Blaze about what happened. She didn't seem surprised. Good ole Blaze.
We got out and went back to our room to talk about wedding plans. I would be the Maid of Honor and Nudge would be the Flower Girl if she wanted to be. We changed out of our swimsuits and found some jeans, T-shirts, and put our hair into funny styles. Blaze put mine into a french braid, and I put Blazes hair into a half bun, half ponnytail kind of thing. Blaze searched through her dresser drawers and found her laptop.
We looked up good reception party places and great themes. We decided that the theme would be nature since Blaze loved flowers. We got several texts from the team and from Tony, making sure we were alive. We finally got around to e-mailing Blaze's parents, who were so exited they almost bought plain tickets to New York.
At about 1:30, Tony finally came up to see us. He was on the phone when Blaze answered the door. He put a finger to his lips, signaling for us to stay quiet. He came and sat on the bed next to me and motioned for Blaze to sit on his lap, which she quickly did.
"No Dad, I will not take it back!" Tony yelled at the phone, startling his fiance. "I don't care if you think we're too young, this isn't a mistake!" there was a short pause. "We've been together for six years, Dad!" andother pause. "For the last time, I don't care!" and whith that, Tony hung up his new iPhone.
He let out a heavy sigh and then hugged Blaze as tight as he could.
"Let me guess, he doesn't approve?" Blaze's voice was dripping with amusement.
No, but I don't care. I'm going to marry you whether he likes it or not. My mother is happy. or at least she was, before the phone was rudely taken away from her by my father." Tony joked. Blaze giggled and held Tony closer.
"At least my parents are happy." Blaze added.
"So I have your father's blessing?" Tony asked.
"Definiatly." and with that she kissed him, and I couldn't help but smile.
They've been through so much in there six years together, and Tony's parents love Blaze. Even his sister's love her. I just don't understand why his father wouldn't want them together.
Of coarse we had to show Tony what we had found while researching.
"The Rain Gardens would be perfect for both the ceremony and the reception. You would be married in the gazebo that way, the guests would be surrounded by rose bushes. Then the reception would be held in their dining room that can hold up to 2000 people." I explained while Blaze pointed out pictures on the moniter.
"The theme would be Nature and we would decorate the dining room with pale blues and greens." Blaze told him.
"Its absolutely perfect." was all Tony could say. He hugged us both and then called the Rain Gardens and checked open dates.
Blaze and I figured out what we wanted to be on the buffet. We were going to have salad and soup filet mignon or lobster as the entrees, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes with gravy, and then creme broule for dessert. Yum.
" It's all set. We're tying the knot at thr rain gardens on May 29." He and Blaze both grinned. "Chris is going to be my best man. I figured that wouldn't be a problem, considering that Max and him are still friends." It seemed that he already knew that I was the Maid of Honor.
Blaze finally fell asleep on Tony's chest and I could hear Tony softly snoring as well. I crawled under the covers and joined them in the snorefest.
