Darci's POV
"Gil honey, why didn't you wanna tell the boys about us?" I asked
"Because… well I've told you their history with my past relationships" he stated as we sat on the bench at the park.
"Ya, but I'm different. They already liked me"
"I know, I guess I was just paranoid"
"Besides, they've told me things that they probably haven't told you" oops, I probably shouldn't have said that.
"Like what?" he asked
"Ummm…" what have they probably told him?
"Don't lie" he teased
"OK, did you know that Matt and Ken have… well…" how do I say it without being blunt?
"Fucked?"
"Wow, I wasn't gonna put it like that. But, ya"
"Ya, I know. I've heard"
I laughed "I bet that was awkward"
"You have no idea. I don't care that they do it cause they are old enough to decide that, I just don't wanna hear it"
"I agree"
Mark's POV
"So what kind of ring are you looking for John?" I asked as we walked into a jewelry store.
"I'm not sure. I know white gold cause Steph likes the silver look better. I guess I'm just looking for something to pop out at me" John smiled
"Alright" I said as I walked across the room and looked at some of the baby bracelets. Sara and I bought one each for Mikey and Stephanie so we want to get one for Kimmy and Shelly too. I look over at John after a couple minutes and I see him asking the guy behind the counter for a ring. John's looking at it and I can tell by the smile on his face that he found the perfect ring. He set the ring down and took out his wallet to see how much money he had. That smile faded, he doesn't have enough money. He gave the ring back and walked to another part of the store. So I walked over to where John just was.
"Excuse me"
"Yes sir" the guy behind the counter answered.
"Can I see that ring that you just showed that guy?" I asked
"You mean that young man over there?" he pointed at John
"Ya, him" I answered, so he showed me. It was beautiful.
"Do you happen to know how much more money he needed?"
"He was about 100 bucks short"
"Thanks" I said and walked over to John. "I got it" I said to him.
"What?" he was confused
"I'll loan you that 100 bucks. That ring is beautiful"
"Mark, I can't take your money"
"OK fine, if it makes you feel any better you can pay me back"
"Mark" he argued
"I won't take no for an answer" I stated
"Alright" he reluctantly said as I gave him the money and he went and paid for it.
"You have to tell me when you're gonna propose" I told John on the way back to the hotel.
"Don't worry man, I will"
"Good cause if I miss it then you'll be in a whole heap of trouble" I informed him
"Don't worry Mark, I'll tell you… I think Sara's calling you" John said as we got back to our hotel room.
I look at my phone and it was Sara, I looked up at John with one of those 'how did you know' looks.
"I know her ringtone" he answered. I guess she calls more often than I thought.
"Hey honey. How's it going on the home front?" I answered my phone.
"Good. Amy, Ashley and Dave decided to visit while you guys are away. So they make things easier by helping out. I was wondering, has John asked you yet?"
"What? That he wasn't to marry Steph?"
"Ya"
"Yep, we just got back from him picking out a ring. Wait till you see it, it's amazing" I exclaimed
"I can't wait… Mark, I'm gonna have to call you back later, I think I hear someone listening to me in the hallway"
"Alright, you're gonna have to make something up if it was Steph"
"I know. Love ya"
"Love you too" I said and hung up.
"What was that about?" John asked
"She thinks Steph might have been listening to her"
"I hope not" John said, then his phone rang. I know that ringtone.
"Hey Momma. What's up?" John answered his phone. "I didn't ask your dad anything… I don't know what your mom's talking about. Maybe you should ask her… OK, you do that. Bye" then he hung up his phone.
"Sara's gonna kill you for putting it on her" I informed him
"Ya, well… She should have made sure no one else was around"
"I agree. But don't tell her that"
Amy's POV
"Guys, how do we get Steph to forget about the question?" I asked Dave and Ashley
"I have no idea" Ashley said
"We have to think of something shocking to tell her" Dave suggested
"Like what?" I asked, then we stood there for a good 5 minutes trying to think of something.
"That I start OVW next month" Dave stated
"Really?" I had no idea he was even training.
"Yep, I haven't told anyone yet. I wanted to surprise them. John owes me for this" then Dave went to tell her.
Domonique's POV
"How could you keep a secret like that from me for 3 months?" Jeff had raised his voice a little.
"Cause it's your dad's life. Besides we ALL kept it from both you AND Matt" I argued
"But you're my girlfriend" he was getting angrier
"And Ken is Matt's boyfriend. We wanted to tell you guys but we didn't want to betray your Dad or Darci's trust" I explained
"What about my trust?"
"I never lied to you. You never asked 'Are my dad and Darci dating?' now did you?"
"No, but…"
"But nothing Jeff, stop getting so mad about it. If you want to get mad at anybody, then get mad at your dad and Darci. Cause I didn't do a damn thing wrong" I yelled
"Dommy…" he tried to give me a hug when he realized how upset he was making me.
"No Jeff. You need to blow off some steam or something. Call me when you've done that" I said and left. I was so stressed, ticked, whatever. That I had to talk to someone. So I called the only one that would understand.
"Hey Dommy" she answered her phone
"Hey Steph, you got a minute?" I asked
"Ya, what's up?"
"Jeff and I just got into a fight"
"I'm sorry hun. First time?"
"Ya"
"Lemme guess. It was something stupid" she guessed right
"Ya, how did you know?"
"He always got mad at the little things. What was it?"
"The thing with Gil and Darci. I didn't tell him about it"
"So. Didn't you promise them that you wouldn't tell Jeff?"
"Ya I did"
"See. So it's just him. Don't let these things bother you; you guys are perfect for each other. Every couple has arguments"
"But I never hear about you and John fighting" I wondered
"Cause I don't let it get to me. There's been so many times that he's just rubbed me the wrong way, ya know. There was this one time when we went to the mall, he was flirting with a chick right in front of me. It's like, hello mother of your kids standing right here. He claims he was just being nice. I know the difference between flirting and being nice and that was most definitely flirting. But eventually I realized that he's just a naturally flirty person" she explained
"I see what you mean"
"Exactly, so just let him blow off some steam and it'll be OK"
"Thanks Steph"
"No problem Dommy. I hear Shelly, so I'll call ya later"
"Alright. Bye" I said and hung up the phone. I'm so glad I have Steph. She helps me through a lot.
A/N: SO HOW WAS THAT? DECENT? I HOPE SO. I HOPE YA'LL HAD A GOOD HOLIDAY. PLEASE REVIEW.
