"Amanda?" Finn said to the closed door that he was hoping his fiancée was on the other side of. Soon after he knocked, the door opened to reveal not Amanda, but Willa.
"Willa? Um hi."
She giggled, "She's in the other room."
Finn raced through the apartment quicker than he ever had before, anxious to see Amanda, even though he'd just seen her the night before. This feeling is how Finn knew she was the girl for him, cause it didn't matter how much time they'd spent together; he'd always looked forward to seeing her again.
"Amanda?" he said as he peeked into her bedroom.
"Finn? Hi!" she said as she jumped off her bed and into his arms. When she pulled back she planted a firm kiss on his lips, to which he responded too with equal enthusiasm. "I didn't know you were coming," she said, not in the least bit disappointed.
"I had a feeling he would" Charlene said behind Amanda. "Willa and I will be leaving now, see you two soon" she smiled.
Finn stole a glance at Charlene, wondering for a spilt second if she knew what the guys were talking about earlier, and noticed she smiled warmly, reassuring Finn of his assumption.
"I know this sounds crazy but, I missed you" Amanda blushed. Finn loved the fact that he could still make her blush like she did when they were in high school.
"I missed you too," Finn said, gently guiding her face to his with both hands behind her head. Amanda melted into him willingly, letting Finn take control, but before their lips met, he said, "I feel like I've been missing you for a long time now."
Amanda paused and quietly asked, "Why's that?"
Finn sighed, "I was talking to Philby and Maybeck earlier…"
"Oh" she whispered, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
"It's ok, but are you sure you're ok now?" Finn asked, "Are you sure you want to be stuck with me for the rest of your life?"
Amanda narrowed her eyes as a seductive grin crept onto her face, "Finn Whitman" she said, "I'd rather be stuck with you than anyone else. That way," she paused as she place her arms around his neck, "I can do this…any time I want" she finished as she grabbed Finn's face far from gently and kissed the daylights out of him.
"Ammahda" Finn mumbled against her lips, but she didn't let up. Finn decided to just go with it as he returned the same rhythm she was going with, as she didn't hold back. It's seemed like she was trying to apologize for everything that had happened in the previous 24 hours in that one kiss, which was about to send Finn over the edge with excitement. "Honey" he chuckled.
"Mmm?"
Finn just sighed and forgot all the words that he'd planned in his head to say and went back to kissing Amanda. She gripped his neck as he did the same to her waist. Finn knew there would be finger prints but didn't really care at the moment as they were wrapped around each other in such a way that it didn't matter to them what was going on besides being together in their embrace.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, 20 minutes had gone by without them realizing the sun started going down, but they simply did not care. Finn stuck around for a while longer before saying, "I have a surprise for you, but you don't get it till tomorrow. Meet me at frozen marble for lunch."
….
12:30 in the morning.
"Oh, hi babe, what's wrong?" Charlene said in a stunned voice. Maybeck had showed up unexpectedly panting at her front door.
"Can I come in?" he asked, out of breath.
"Of course" she said, "You ok?"
"Yeah, fine" he said as he collapsed in a chair, trying to catch his breath.
"You sure?" Charlene asked, not really sure what to think of her boyfriend at this point, especially since it was the middle of the night.
"Yeah, Charlie, I have a question for you" Maybeck said, not missing a beat.
"Ok, right now?" she asked, still confused by the intrusion, not that she was complaining since she was starting to miss him since he'd been with Finn and Philby a lot lately.
"Yes, I can't wait anymore" he said standing up and sitting Charlene down in his chair as he took her hands in his. "I love you, so much. Do you love me Charlie?"
She smiled, "You came all the way out here to ask if I loved you? Yes, I love you silly" Charlene giggled than got serious, "Why?" she asked in all seriousness, not knowing what was going to happen next.
Maybeck smiled and sighed, "Good."
"Why'd you want to know?" she asked.
"Just making sure. Do you remember that day before Graduation when we were in the car? After you were trying on dresses."
She laughed, "Heck yeah! I thought that lady was going to throw us out of the dressing room if we wouldn't stop kissing." Maybeck chuckled and bent down to her level and kissed her softly, causing her to sigh. "What's this about?" she asked.
"I should've asked you years ago, I don't know what's been holding me back," he paused, hoping to get some sort of reaction from the now petrified Charlene, "I've never met anyone like you, I never want to be with anyone else but you. You're the only one that can make me the happiest man in the world."
"Donnie…" Charlene whispered and gasped, "Oh my gosh" as Maybeck got down on one knee.
"Charlene, I love you, and I always will," he said, "Will you marry me?"
Of COURSE I cut the chapter off there :) I'm so cruel lol comment! What do you think she'll say? Hmmm….I could make this interesting…hm hm hm….-Amanda
