We pulled up to the shop DIAMONDS and I stopped the car. The boys were already here and I was stepping out when Aelita and Yumi pushed me into the store. "How may I help you ladies...and gentlemen?" A woman named Chelsea spoke with freckles splattered across her face. "We're just checking out engagement rings." Ulrich spoke. "Do you need any assistance, then?" He shook his head and said,"I think we can manage." I turned and said,"Let's split up. Couples with couples. Agreed?" Words of agreement spread throughout the group. We went into different areas of the store.
•Yumi P.O.V.•
"What's your favorite gemstone, Yumi?" I thought a moment. "Either a Diamond or an Aquamarine gemstone." I know I talked Leah into feeling super excited but I think she's right. We should all wait till the end of the year at least to get a grip on reality and start living like adults. That thought process fell out of my mind when I saw the perfect ring. It had three bands, a large ovular Aquamarine gemstone in the center, with small diamonds built into the middle. "Ulrich, that's perfect! But it's...4,000 dollars! Hell no." Ulrich grabbed my wrist and said, "Let's at least try it on and see it on. Excuse me, Chelsea?" She looked over from by Odd and Leah and walked over. "Yes, ma'am?" I said,"Can we try this on?" Chelsea walked behind the glass counter and unlocked the glass dresser. "Here you go, ma'am." I nodded a thanks and Ulrich slipped it on. I gasped, it looked gorgeous with my tan skin. "Ulrich, I love it. But we can't get it yet. Not yet."
.;Ulrich P.O.V:.
When she said not to get it, she looked depressed, even slightly angry. "I know it won't help, but we can look for others." She smiled and kissed my cheek. She walked over to another one and a smile graced her lips. "Ulrich, come here." I walked over and saw a single gold banded ring with a diamond shaped, well, diamond. "AND, it's only 2,500 dollars. More affordable, but not quite yet."
|Aelita P.O.V.|
Jeremy and I were walking down the aisles when I spotted a ring I quite liked the look of. "Sweetie, what about this one?" I asked him. It was simple, a silver two banded ring with a Sapphire jewel in each band. "It's very nice Aelita. I like it a lot. But I suggest we look around to see if any others catch our eye." I nodded, agreeing with him. Two more caught my attention. On was a gold tri-band ring with a Sapphire on the outer rings and an Aquamarine stone in the center. My third favorite was a copper colored band with a square Ruby in the middle, Emeralds in the ring. "Jeremy, all of these are very expensive. All pricing from 3,500 to 7,000 dollars."
[Jeremy P.O.V.]
Aelita said it was expensive, but I'd sell the whole world to assure her happiness. "Maybe when we get married, I'll buy you one of those." Aelita flushed and slapped my arm. "Jeremy, don't joke about those things!" I leaned close and whispered,"Who said I was joking?" I pulled her in for a kiss and she complied easily. I pulled away and said,"We're in public, Aelita Schaefer." She slapped my arm again and I laughed.
*Leah P.O.V.*
Odd's arms were circled around my waist as we were walking around the store."Any catch your eye, princess?" I shook my head but then started wriggling in his grasp."Never mind, I found something." I pointed to a ring on the left of us. It was a silver tri-band ring with a circular Onyx gem, Amethysts engraved into the outer bands."Darling, that's perfect! I love it."
{Odd P.O.V.}
Leah's face lit up when she saw the ring. "Do you wanna get it, Leah?" I asked her with a serious tone. She shook her head yes, but she stopped herself and said,"Maybe after we finish paying off our debts and actually buy some food. I'M STARVING!" I grabbed her hips and pulled her close."That's why I love you." She pressed her lips to mine and I said,"Go drive home. I'll grab some food on the way home." She poked my nose and said,"Girls! Let's go home." As they walked out of the door, we guys said,"We'll take this one," pointing to the each of the girls' favorite rings.
