Chapter Three:

I was sitting on my sofa reading the new book I had just bought when my cell phone started ringing. I picked it up and looked at the caller ID.

I hit talk, "Hey Marcie?"

"Norah!" Marcie said.

"Hey big sis, you doing good?"

"Well of course baby sister," Marcie said, "I'm doing good and Hale is doing good. Oh and how's that boy? What's his name. Oh right, Ike?"

I rolled my eyes, "That was a random subject change there Marcie."

"Nope. So how's it going?"

"Ike is amazing. But I've told you that."

"Yes, yes, but baby sister you do know you are getting older right, how old are you now?"

"Twenty."

"Uh and you live on your own."

"Uh I live with Stuffy," I said.

"Your cat doesn't count. So when is Ike going to pop the question?"

I rolled my eyes, "Marcie chill, just because you and Parker are married doesn't mean I have to."

"Yes it does!"

"No it doesn't."

"Norah, I have a daughter, I'm getting old! Please don't let me die without having nieces and nephews from you."

"Mar, I hate to tell you this, but your not old!"

"But I am Norah! I am!" Marcie moaned.

I rolled my eyes, "Marcie, Ike will ask me to marry him, if he does, when he feels like it. And if I find out you make a call to him, your butt will be kicked."

"I'm sticking my tongue out at that Norah. But find, die alone with Stuffy see if I care!"

"Dram queen."

"What was that baby sister?"

"Uh, nothing I love you Marcie," I said.

"You better. Now if you don't mind I have to go call Parker."

"What for?"

"To yell at him."

"I'm not going to ask even what for, I know better."

"Bye baby sister," Marcie laughed.

"Bye Mar."

I hung up my phone and rolled my eyes. Marcie had to be going crazy. I opened up my book again and just I started to read, my phone started ringing. I rolled my eyes and pressed the talk button.

"Marcie what do you want now? I mean-"

"Norah. It's Ike."

"Oh, hey."

"Hey! You busy?"

"No not really," I said.

"Got any dinner plans? Hot dates?"

"Unless you count eating a TV dinner with Stuffy a hot date, no."

Ike laughed, "Okay, how about we go out?"

I twirled my hair, "Where? Like fast food, or somewhere I should wear a dress for?"

"A nice place, that I've been wanting to try."

"What's it called?"

"I can't tell you my dear."

"Ike I hate surprises."

"I know."

"You are super lucky I love you."

"I'll pick you up at seven wear something nice. And I love you too."

I sighed and hung up with Ike.

LIDILIDI

Soon seven rolled around and I stood on the front porch in a simple, strapless, blue dress with a big skirt that was covered in sparkles. I also had wrapped a grey shawl around myself, because it was cold, and in my hand I clutched my blue handbag.

And soon enough Ike's beat up, little red car pulled into my drive way. I rolled my eyes as Ike climbed out of the car. "You coming?" He called to me.

"Nah, I thought I stand right here all night."

"Uh huh, sarcasm will get you no where my love."

I walked down the stairs and over to Ike I hugged him, "Hi."

Ike squeezed me back, "Hi."

I kissed he cheek and walked over to the car, "Let's go."

Ike laughed and opened my door, "After you."

I climbed in and Ike shut the door. "You should be glad I love this piece of junk, I was kind of thinking about flying," Ike told me as he started the car.

"I hate flying."

Ike looked over his shoulder as he back out of the driveway, "And I have no idea why, it's so much fun."

"I am a speeder, my feet stay on the ground no matter how fast I go."

"Yea, but aren't you afraid of hitting a tree?"

"Aren't you?"

"I fly over them."

"Okay if not trees what about birds? Or what if your flying power just canceled. Why would you do?"

"Crash land, I guess," Ike said, "but most likely there be another hero with me, there to save me. Probably one totally beautiful, blonde hair. She loves using sarcasm. You know her?"

I rolled my eyes and punched Ike in the shoulder, "You are driving out of town. Past all the places I can't wear my jeans to boy."

"Oh am I really?" Ike asked.

I nodded, "Yes."

"Good, cause I lied. Well not really I never said we were going to a resurant."

"But-"

"Picnic basket in the back."

I looked and sure enough there was a basket and blanket, "So where are we going?"

"I can't tell you but you can thank Marcie for the idea."

"Marcie! You talked to Marcie?"

"She called me."

"She is dead."

Ike shook his head, "Don't kill your sister, she just gave me a spot for dinner."

I rolled my eyes, "So are we there?"

Ike laughed as he pulled into a old run down parking lot, "Actually yes."

"A parking lot?" I asked wrinkling my nose.

"Nope, not even close," Ike said climbing out.

I opened my doors and stepped out, "So where?"

Ike grabbed the picnic basket in one hand and with the other hand took my hand, "Shut your eyes."

I did.

"Good, now just follow me," Ike said squeezing my hand.

"Do I have another choice?" I asked.

"You could run away screaming."

I laughed, "Sure."

We walked for a short bit when Ike informed me that were was a slight slope. "So you are trying to make me break my neck?" I asked.

"Nope. You want me to fly you."

"God no, I rather take my chances of broken neck due to the fact my boyfriend wouldn't let me open my eyes."

"It's a surprise!"

"Just start walking boy."

Ike did and I followed him carefully feeling with my feet so I wouldn't kill myself and then slowly the ground leveled out.

"You can open you eyes now."

I opened my eyes and gasped. I was standing on sandy patch right in front of a river. And as I looked on the bank, that was raised above the river, there were trees growing wild and the grass was high. One tree had fallen and was laying in the river, making almost a bridge to the other side.

"Hale brought Marcie here, and Marcie said we could use it for one night."

"My sister was nice?"

"She likes me. I think. I mean she does threaten to beat my face in."

I shrugged, "Eh, she likes you."

Ike laughed and set the picnic basket down then he laid down the blanket. "Sit with me," He laughed sitting on the blanket. I sat down beside him tucking my legs under me.

Ike smiled at me before digging out food from the basket. "Your fancy meal, is served."

I looked at what he was handing me, "Pizza? Really Ike we couldn't have sat on my sofa and watched late night TV?"

Ike wrapped his arm around and kissed the top of my head, "No, it's beautiful out here."

I curled towards him, "I love you Ike."

"I love you Norah."

I bit into my pizza, "This is good pizza."

"It better be I bought."

I laughed, "Still no cooking skills?"

"Nope, none. I'm a superhero babe, not a chef."

I rolled my eyes, "You buy us dessert?"

"Maybe."

"I hope it's cake."

"Finish your pizza first silly girl."

I took another bite of my pizza, "Fine."

Ike laughed and ran his fingers through my blonde hair, "You are so pretty."

I turned towards him and kissed him on the lips, "Aw."

Ike shoved the last bite of pizza in his mouth and pulled me closer. "I wish we could stay like this forever," He whispered in my ear.

I nodded.

"But we have cake."

I sat up, "Serve the cake!"

Ike laughed, "Okay, how about the lady gets the first slice?"

"Okay."

Ike pulled out the cake and a knife he sliced the cake and handed me a plate and the slice. Then he cut himself a slice. "Cheers!"

I rolled my eyes and bite into my cake and hit something hard, "Ah!" I said reaching into my mouth for the hard thing I had bit into, it tasted kind of metallic. "Are you sure you didn't make this cake Ike because-" I stopped because I had pulled the hard thing out of my mouth.

It was a ring.

I looked at Ike.

Ike was on one knee holding his hand out. "I need that."

I numbly handed him the ring.

"Norah West, I love you more than any person that has, is, or will live on this earth. And really I don't think I can live another day without you. So make me the happiest guy ever, and marry me?"

I stared at him and then I busted into tears and grabbed Ike around the neck. "Of course I'll marry you Ike! Of course!" I kissed him and Ike hugged me.

"Here, then you can have this," Ike said holding out the ring. I held out my hand and he slipped it on my finger.

I stared at it and started to tear up again, "I love you Ike."

"Marcie knew you would say yes."

I rolled my eyes as I brushed my tears back, "I can't believe you two."

"She was only helping me out Norah," He stood up, "You ready to go home?"

I stood up and wrapped my arm through his, "Yep, I've got a lot of phone calls to make."

"Marcie is going to explode."

"She sure is," I laughed.

"What about your mom?"

"Mom is going to sob, probably over both of us."

Ike shrugged, "But I'll have you."

I laughed as we came to his car, "Nice on there putting it in the cake. I almost choked."

"I would of saved you."

I shook my head, "Let's go home."

Ike kissed the tip of my nose, "Let's."

And together we got in the car laughing and smiling. We were about to start our new lives.
