FLASHBACK
It had been a while since Martin had talked to his best friend, and it was about time he thanked him for all his help
"Hey Mac it's me"
"Oh. Hey Brewer! How are things?"
"Couldn't be better!"
"So are you and Ruthie…?"
"Yes we are together"
"Ah man I was going to ask her out tonight!" Mac let out a laugh, Martin was aware it was a joke yet it still made his blood boil.
"Very funny man."
"So..."
"So what?"
"So why did you call?"
"I need your help again."
"The way I'm going Cupid's going to be out of a job!"
"I want to propose"
"Martin, I'm flattered!"
"Not to you! To Ruthie"
"Well I must say I am Heartbroken…so when are you going to pop the question" Mac was as excited as a school girl
"Our one month anniversary."
"Okay… how long have you two been dating?"
"Three weeks"
"WHAT? YOU'RE GOING TO PROPOSE IN A WEEK!"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing…"
"Don't believe you… spill."
"How are you going to pull off the perfect proposal?"
"That's why I called"
"Figures. What happened to the days when you called me because you wanted to see how your BEST friend is!?"
"I'm Sorry, how are you?"
"I'm pretty good thanks"
"Now, how am I going to propose?"
"Okay listen up and listen good. This is what you should do…"
END OF FLASHBACK
Martin was pacing up and down his room, constantly staring at the clock… 3:57pm, he was fully dressed in a brand new outfit it brought for the occasion and ready to go with little over three hours to spare, just then Mac entered the room, surprising Martin.
"Martin, hate to break this to you but it's the girls who spend hours preparing for a date not the guys…" Martin shot a sarcastic look at Mac, before he continued "So show me the ring" neither of them realised Mac's sudden change of tone, from sounding like a normal 19 year old guy to a giddy 13 year old teenage girl!. Martin pulled out a deep red velvet box from his pant pocket, his hands were noticeably shaking from the nerves, he opened the box revealing the ring, that Ruthie would hopefully have on her finger for the rest of her life.
"OH MY WORD. MARTIN LEE BREWER! THE SIZE OF IT! YOU COULD SEE THAT FROM SPACE!" Mac's jaw had hit the floor, both of them wouldn't be surprised if it was confirmed that Mac was in fact a lady in a previous life.
"Is that a good thing?"
"Are you kidding me? If I were Ruthie I'd marry you just for the ring!"
"Thanks …that's… err …really encouraging" Martin looked down to his shoes wondering if the love of his life would actually marry him just for the ring Stupid MAC! It cost enough, ever since he was 7 he saved his money with the dream of buying a spaceship, but as he grew older the ambition changed, to the perfect ring for his perfect girl, 12 years of saving finally paid off!
Waving his hand in front of his dazed friend standing in front of him Mac said "Earth to Martin, Hello? Is anybody home?" Martin suddenly snapped out his daze staring Mac right in the eye "So is everything planned?"
"Yes, wait is it? What if I forgot something? What if I forget what to say? What if she says no?!"
"Calm down, everything's going to be fine, you have the ring?"
"Check"
"Venue?"
"Check."
"People present at the event and what they have to do?"
"Check."
"Speech"
"Check"
"You love her?"
"CHECK."
"She loves you?"
"Check."
"Then you are all set! You know what? I'm thinking of getting into the career of a wedding planner…"
"Seriously, I know I've brought out the feminine side of you, after needing your help, but I'd like to put it back before it runs riot!"
"I get the point, Well I better be going, call me and tell me how everything goes"
"What?! Aren't you coming!?"
"You didn't ask…"
"Oh. Well I am now! I need the support of my best friend! You know where it's happening, so 7:30- do not be late, be quiet I don't want her to suspect a thing and just make sure everything goes in order"
Mac stood there for a little while, whilst his brain processed all the information "No problem…" he looked at his watch "God Brewer id that the time already?! I better get ready, see you later" They had been talking for longer than both of them expected, it was 5:46 , in two hours time he would either have Ruthie his fiancée or Ruthie-sorry-I-said-no-can-we-be-friends.
Meanwhile, over the road, a mad and panicked Ruthie was running up and down the stairs frantically trying to find the perfect look, she had no idea of what the night had in store for her. The sneakiest Camden didn't suspect a thing, even though Simon, Matt and Mary had all surprisingly come down for a visit! The rest of the Camden Clan were all in their rooms getting ready for the night as well disguising their outfits under Pyjama's and robes. An hour later an anxious family waited at the bottom of the stairs to see what she was wearing. A simple black dress, accessorised with a gold necklace with an oversized gold heart pendant with gold strappy heels, which complimented her complexion.
Just then the doorbell rang, opened by an excited Annie to see a nervous yet happy Martin.
:O CLIFFY! WHAT WILL BE THE PROPOSAL, SHOULD MAC TAKE UP WEDDING PLANNING? WILL SHE SAY YES, WILL HE CHICKEN OUT? WILL THEY HAVE THEIR FAIRYTALE? THE MORE REVIEWS I GET THE MORE LIKELY I AM YO UPDATE QUICKER AND THE HIGHER CHANCE OF A SEQUEL!
