Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Wahoo! I love reviews! Enjoy this chap!!!
The next morning, we wake up to a knock on our door.
"Let's ignore it, maybe they'll go away." I say, sleepily. Randy laughs, the knocking continues. He gets up, groaning, and walks over to the door. He opens it, Ted and Cody are standing there, grinning.
"Mornin' Randy." Ted says, cheerfully.
" Ted, Cody. What are you guys doing here?"
"We figured you needed an alarm clock." Cody says, with a silly grin.
"An alarm clock? What time is it?" He asks, looking over at a clock. "Wow! 11!? Already?" I get up and walk over to the door.
"Morning guys!" I say, finally awake.
"Mornin' sunshine!" Ted says, smiling.
"What are you guys planning on doing today?"
"Working out, eating, sleeping, so not much." Cody answers.
"Sounds fun," I say, " Wanna come in?"
"No, that's okay. We're gonna head to the gym. We decided to come here and make sure you guys were up first."
"Thanks Ted! We probably would've slept all day!" I say, giggling.
"Okay, T.M.I." Cody says, with an "eww" look on his face. " I think we should go now." We all laugh.
"All right, see ya later guys." Ted says, winking at Randy and bending down, kissing my cheek.
"Bye guys! Have fun!" I say, hugging them.
"Bye guys." They both leave. I run back to bed and cover up. Randy runs over and jumps onto the bed, tickling me.
"Randy!" I whine, through the giggles. "Stop!" He continues to tickle me. "Please! Mercy!" I cry out. He stops and lays down next to me, I cuddle up to him.
"I don't wanna go."
"Don't wanna go where?" He asks, confused.
"Anywhere... I want to stay here, safe in your arms, forever."
"As much as I'd love that.... We have friends coming to hang out with us."
"I know..." I pout.
" You'll have fun!" He laughs at my pouty face. "Cute." he thought.
" I know, but I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too, babe. But right now, we need to get dressed and ready to go. Hunter and Steph will be here soon."
"I know, just five more minutes, please??" I put on a puppy dog face.
"Nope, sorry. Up and at 'em." He says, picking me up.
"Okay, okay! I'm up!" Randy sets me down, kissing me. I turn and head towards the bathroom, grabbing my clothes. A few minutes later I come out, my hair is up in a pony, and I'm wearing a cute pink tee, and blue jean shorts. Randy turns around and gasps.
"Damn, you look great." He says, sexily.
"Thanks, you don't look to bad yourself, handsome." I take him in, he's wearing a black affliction tee and blue jeans. He has his hair all spiked up. I walk over and start kissing him, up and down his neck. "Payback for earlier." I thought, knowing that it would get him sexed up. (Hey, I'm catchin on quick! Lol)
"Oh, come on Em... Don't do this to me." He whines. I keep on kissing him. "Em, please!" I stop, laughing.
"Tee hee, you can tickle, I can kiss." We both laugh. There's a knock on the door.
"Looks like they're here." He says, going to answer the door. He opens it and Stephanie and Hunter walk in.
"Randy," Stephanie says, kissing his cheek. "Em!" She exclaims, walking over.
"Hey Steph!" I hug her, "Hey Hunter!" I yell to him.
"Hey Emma!" He yells back.
"You ready for some power shopping?" Steph asks me.
"Yeah!" We walk towards the door, I grab my purse. "You two have fun Male-bonding!" I say to Hunter and Randy.
"Oh, we will, don't you worry!" Hunter replies, sarcastically. I go to smack his arm, when Randy pulls Stephanie aside.
"Could you keep Em out until like 5:30-6ish?" He asks.
"Yeah, no problem." She replies, smiling.
"Thanks." They both walk back over to where Hunter and I are.
"You ready to go Em?"
"Yeah, you two behave today!" I say, sternly.
"We will." Randy says, laughing. " Have fun baby." We kiss again, as Stephanie and Hunter do the same. Steph and I leave.
With Randy and Hunter....
"You ready?" Hunter asks.
"Yeah, let's go." They leave and go to the jewelers uptown. They get out of the car and head in.
"Do you know what kind of ring you want?"
"Yeah, I'll know it when I see it." He replies, confidently. A sales clerk walks over. She checks Randy and Hunter out.
"What can I help you lovely gentlemen with today?" She asks, flirting with them.
"I need an engagement ring." Randy says, ignoring her.
"What kind? Diamond, CZ, or.." She began, a little less perky.
"Diamond, in a heart cut, preferably."
"Silver, Gold, or White Gold? What Karat?"
"White Gold," Hunter looks at Randy funny. "What? Em hates regular gold. 18 Karat please."
"All right, follow me." She says, leading them over towards a case.
"Wow, these are beautiful." Hunter says.
"Yeah," Randy says, lookin at the different rings. "That's it!" He says, pointing to the one in the middle. " Can I see that one?"
"Of course, an excellent choice, if I say so myself." She says, handing the ring to Randy. He looks at it, it has a medium heart shaped diamond. He turns it back and forth in between his fingers.
After a minute, "What size is this?" He asks, handing the ring to her.
" Size 6." She replies, handing the ring back to him.
"Perfect, I'll take it." He says, handing the ring back to her. They head up to the counter.
"I think Emma's going to love that ring. It just seems to fit her." Hunter says, "I don't understand why I was even needed... I mean you seemed to know what you were looking for."
"I need you for moral support, and plus you're my friend and I want your input. Plus, you've done this before." He says laughing.
"True." Hunter agrees, nodding. Randy pays for the ring and puts it in his pocket.
"Now... How are you going to propose?" Hunter asks.
"Well if you will excuse me, I have to make a call." Randy says, and walks away. A few minutes later he comes back to Hunter.
"You wanna know how I'm going to propose right?" Hunter nods. "Well I rented out the whole restaurant part of the hotel, and had a table decked out with candles and flowers. After we eat dinner, I'm going to propose to her in our new suite, which is filled with Roses and rose petals."
"Wow, being Mr. Romantic, huh?" Hunter asks, sarcastically.
"Ha, ha. Very funny Hunt." Randy says, punching him, playfully.
"All joking aside, don't you think that she will catch on?" He asks, being serious.
"No, she won't.... At least I hope she doesn't..." Randy says, as his phone rings. He looks at the caller ID. "Emma" it says, and he answers.
"Hey baby, how's shopping going?"
"Good, I got you something!" I say, giddily.
"Really? You didn't have to get me anything. You're love is all I need." Hunter makes a barfing noise. Randy shushes him.
"Awe, Randy... That's soo sweet! I love you!" I say, tearing up. "Well, too late! I can't wait to give it to you! I hope you like it!" I say, changing the subject.
"I know I will, anything you get me will be amazing."
"I really hope so... I miss you."
"I miss you too Em... So tonight for dinner, I was thinking that I was going to take you out for a fancy one? Sound good?" He asks, casually.
"Yeah! No problem! It just gives me another thing to shop for!"
"Okay, Well babe I gotta go, okay? I'll pick you up at the room at 7 okay?"
"Okay, bye Randy. I love you."
"Love you too." He says, hanging up. "Well Hunt, I need you help with one more thing..."
"What's that?" Hunter asks, confused.
"I need you help getting a new outfit for tonight." Hunter nods, and they head to the clothing shop up the road.
Meanwhile with Emma and Stephanie.
"So what are the guys up to?" Steph asks.
"I dunno, I didn't get a chance to ask them.."
"That's weird, but okay.."
I look into my bag and pull out a watch case. I open it up, showing a gold Rolex, with a diamond heart carved into the center of it.
"I really hope he likes it." I say, sighing.
"I'm sure he will." Steph replies, reassuringly. She looks at me funny. "What's the matter Em? You seem kinda down."
"Nothing's wrong." I fake a smile, she looks at me, not believing me for a second. "Really, nothing's wrong."
"Come on Em, you can tell me anything, you know that."
I sigh, "Well, last night Randy and I had sex for the first time, and afterwords it was like he wanted to get rid of me..."
"What do you mean?"
"Well after we did it, Cody and Ted came back and decided to get a different room. Cody was going to get a new room key, and all of a sudden Randy told me to go with him. He didn't even ask me, he just TOLD me. I was so confused, and I'm thinking that he regretted it." I say, getting more depressed by the moment.
Stephanie, realizing why he told me to go says, "Did you talk to him about this?"
"Yeah, he said he didn't."
"And you think he was just saying that to not hurt you?" She says, finishing my sentence.
"Maybe, I mean, God!" I sigh, "I just don't know... Do you think I made a mistake?" I ask her, starting to cry.
"Oh hunny." She says, pulling me into a hug. "You didn't, Randy loves you! I've never seen him so in love. Plus I know Randy wouldn't lie to you like that. He does love you." She says smiling, reassuringly.
"You're right." I say, wiping my tears. "Randy would never do that to me." "I can't believe that I thought that! God! I'm horrible, I always have to find a negative out of many positives...." I thought. "Randy's the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I love him so much." I laugh, " Well, if nothing else, one good thing came out of this..." I begin.
"What's that?" Steph asks, curious.
"I'm no longer a virgin!" We both laugh.
"So what did Randy say?" She asks, changing the subject.
"He asked me to dinner, so I need to get a new dress! Wanna help me pick it out?"
"Of course!" She replies, excitedly. We leave the bench we were sitting on and head to the Pennies down the road. We go inside and start to look around. I grab a few dresses and try them on, each one not seeming to fit right.
"How about this one?" Stephanie asks, holding up a black sleeveless dress, with Pink ribbons going down the middle, and on the slits of the sides..
"Oh my god! That's beautiful!" She comes into the dressing room and hands me the dress. I try it on, and come out of the dressing room.
"Emma!" She cries, "You look so beautiful!"
"Thanks! I love this dress! It's fits perfect!" I exclaim, happily.
"You look amazing in it." She says, as I twirl in front of the mirror.
"Thanks! I think I'm going to get it." I say, turning and going into the dressing room, taking the dress off. I come out holding the dress, and we head up to the counter.
"Need any accessories?" She asks.
"Nope, I've got the perfect ones at the hotel."
"Awesome! Well let's head back there and get you all glamed up!" I nod. Once I pay for the dress, we call a cab and head back to the hotel. Once there we go up to our suite and I change into my dress. I come out and Stephanie comes over and hugs me.
"What's that for?" I ask her, confused.
"Just because..." She smiles, "You're beautiful, ya know? You kinda glow."
"Awe! Thanks Steph!" We hug.
"Now, let's get you all made up" she smiles, as we head back into the bathroom. She does my make-up and puts my hair up, in a half-pony, leaving the rest hang down.
"You look so beautiful." She says.
"Thank you... so much... for everything." I reply, tears in my eyes... " I love her so much!" I thought.
"No problem babes, anytime." We hug, Stephanie looks at her watch. "Well it's almost seven, I guess I should go. Randy will be here soon.:
"Thanks again, for everything."
"Okay, gotta go!" She says, kissing my cheek and heading out the door. A few seconds later I hear a knock on the door. I take a deep breath and...
There ya go! Extra long too! Hope ya liked it! Please remember to review!!!
