So, here is chapter three! Sorry for the long wait :/ I've been busy with school, I had a really bad break up with this guy I was with for a year and a half, and I've been in the ER.

Chapter Three

I couldn't stop smiling. I felt like I was on top of the world and that nothing could bring me down. After we dropped Al off at his place, Meg began to ask questions about the dinner. I knew she wanted know what happened at the park. When we got to Uncle Larry's apartment, all I had to do was show her my right hand and she looked at me in surprise.

"He asked you to marry him? You only met a year ago!" She studied my face in confusion and then her gaze went down to my stomach. "You're not, you know, are you?"

"No! Oh my gosh, Meg, it's a promise ring and it's on my right hand, not my left," I explained, admiring my ring. "Isn't it gorgeous? He was hoping that we could get married in the future."

I looked up at her face with a giant grin on my face. She smiled back at me before we both broke out in squeals and hugged each other outside of the apartment. One neighbor told us to be quiet through their door. We giggled and went inside the apartment.

"Are you spending the night?" I asked, throwing my keys down on the counter.

"Sure," and we went into the living room area. Tanya was inside a crate in the middle of the floor. She began to whine and bark when she heard us. I unlocked it and she jumped up against my legs, licking them and pawing at them. "You're going to need to get her trained."

"Do you know any good trainers? I don't think I'll be able to do a great job."

"I might. You know, you'll probably make it a whole lot worse," Meg laughed. I tried to glare at her, but I joined in the laughter. She's right. I set out some food for Tanya and some puppy pads. The last thing I need is a mess that I would preferably not to happen. I know how much Tess tries to keep this place clean. I'm not here a lot anymore. I normally spend more time at Al's place than here. He lived with us at first, but McPhee hired him to replace the wax statue of him. Ahkmunrah placed a special spell on it so it won't come alive at night. Once Al made enough money, he got his own place. After some researching about making a fake ID and other necessary items, he was good to go. Uncle Larry was never one to break laws, but after working at the museum, his views began to change.

While Tanya was eating what looked to be delicious dog food, Meg and I went to my room to change. We always left things at each other's places. Most of my wardrobe is at her place and vice versa. We're pretty much sisters and that's how everyone treats us. Al would do pretty much anything for her and she gets special privileges at the museum like me. Uncle Larry even took her in consideration when he began to date Tess. Meg's family loves me. Her parents aren't around often, but they want her and her brother to have a better life than they did growing up. They treated me like a daughter and her mom was great friends with mine. The only person who didn't treat us like sisters was her brother, Derrick, but then again, he was one of those creepy, older brothers that girls try to avoid at all costs.

We changed into our pajamas and decided to have a move marathon for the night, or whatever was left of the night. Meg is into the whole Sci-Fi genre, like Star Wars, and I'm into horror, like The Hills Have Eyes. Meg gets scared easily and I find some of her choices of Sci-Fi to be boring. After some debate, we decided on Mean Girls. I've gotten Al to watch this with me once. He doesn't seem to understand the chick-flick movies and he thought the movie was pointless. He didn't even laugh at the part when all of the girls were in the gym and doing the confessions. He would just roll his eyes throughout the entire movie and kept asking me why I like it so much. At least I didn't make him watch Magic Mike like Meg did with her boyfriend, now ex after a bitter argument. That was an interesting event.

I set up the movie while she popped some popcorn and raided the fridge for other goodies. We have endless stomachs, Meg and I do. It gets bad after break ups. Ice cream containers and half the candy in Manhattan winds up in our rooms. Nicky says I'll be the fattest person in the world after my metabolism slows down and all of the food catches up. I told him at least I'll be fat and happy. Food is the best thing in the world. As everything was gathered together and the previews on the DVD are over with, I pressed the play button.

"What the hell happened?" A voice asked, slamming the door. Sunlight was pouring through the windows and Tanya started to bark. Meg groaned and pulled the blanket over her head while I put a pillow over mine.

"Another girl's night?" A new voice asked, not sounding surprised.

"Yeah. Time to get up, girls," the first voice answered. We both snuggled down deeper into the couch in response. The next thing I knew the pillow was being ripped off of my head and a face licking mine. I opened my eyes and saw Tanya's blue eyes looking into mine. I blinked, the sun is way too bright.

"It's too early to be up," I grumbled, pulling the blanket off of Meg . The coffee table was a mess. A giant bowl of popcorn sat in the middle with chocolate syrup poured on top. An empty container of ice cream was there with a two liter of Coke. Empty glasses and used eating utensils were everywhere. Meg and I tend to make a mess when we're together.

"You were still hungry after dinner?" I looked up and saw Al standing there with an incredulous look on his face. I made face at him and tried reaching for the pillow he had in his hands. He pulled it back out of my reach. "You need to get up. It's past 1:00."

"Please? Just a few more minutes?" I asked and he shook his head. I stood up and walked over towards him. I placed my hands on his chest and looked at him through my eyelashes a little. "Please, Al? Just a few more minutes is all that I need."

"You have popcorn in your hair," Nicky said, ruining it. Al can't resist when I do that to him.

"He is right," he commented, picking the popcorn out of my hair. "What did you girls do? Have a food fight?"

"Something along the lines of that," I muttered and picked up Tanya. We tried throwing popcorn into each other's mouths and we failed. Quite miserably, too. We both have poor aim and it was entertaining for a little bit. "Come on, Meg, we need to get cleaned up." She slowly got up and dragged her feet to my room. I was about to follow her when Al stopped me.

"No good afternoon kiss?" He smirked at me. He knew I was not in a good mood from being woken up before I was ready to be.

"You can have one, but only one," I smirked back at him. I went back to him and he leaned down towards me, eyes closed. He had a very surprised look when his lips met the nose of Tanya, who eagerly licked his face.

"Charlotte! " He yelled in surprised.

"That's your good afternoon kiss," I said, quickly getting out of his reach. Knowing him, he's going to try to get me back.

Oh, well. He should know that two can play his game.

I hope y'all enjoyed it! Please review! :3
