"Hey, this is kind of cute" Keira said to Lisa as she held up a pair of plaid short shorts. However, she could instantly tell that Lisa wasn't into it.
"Nah, but I think this will look absolutely fabulous on you" Lisa said with a smile as she held up a long teal dress whose straps tied around the neck. It was the type of dress that would be perfect for walking on the beach but could still be elegant enough to wear it.
"Oh my goodness I love it!" Keira screamed as she took the dress from Lisa to get a closer look.
"It is absolutely incredible and you can wear it when-" Lisa stopped after she realized that she was about to tell Keira that Orlando was planning something, something that she still did not even know about!
"When what?" Keira asked curiously.
"When you go back to the movie set and want to relax on the beach!" Lisa instantly said hopping the lie would be could enough to keep Keira from suspecting anything.
"Yeah I guess I can" Keira said knowing that Lisa was hiding something. She pushed the thought aside though and went to go try on the dress. Fortunately for Lisa, that allowed her to answer Orlando's call without having to worry about Keira over hearing.
"Orlando! It's about time you know!"
"Hey Lisa, sorry it took so long" Orlando said as he drove his car with Will in the passenger seat and Sharman in the back. "I had some business to take care of but tell me where you are so I can go and get you."
"And get me for what might I ask?" Lisa asked annoyed at the fact that Orlando still had not told her what he was planning.
"Well, I just thought you might want to be there to help your best friend's parents and boyfriend pick out her engagement ring" Orlando replied with a smirk knowing that Lisa would be shocked, surprised, and ecstatic.
Lisa's eyes widened as soon as she heard the word engagement. "En- engagement?" She asked with a shriek proving to Orlando that she was all set with energy and joy to go and help.
"Yes, Lisa engagement!" Sharman said. "He's going to propose!"
"Oh my goodness! Get me right now! I'm at the Hollywood Boutique near the beach a few miles from the hotel!" Lisa said quickly as she put down all the clothes she had intended to buy. When she hung up she saw Keira come out in the dress and look beautiful.
"Well what do you think?" Keira asked with a smile.
"Amazing, incredible, listen I have to go um make I mean fix last minute costume designs with Susan so um here, here take my car keys and drive back to the hotel when you're done" Lisa told Keira quickly as she rushed through things in her bag till she found her keys and shoved them in Keira's hands. "Bye!"
"Wait- what? Lisa!" Keira screamed after her but Lisa was already long out of the boutique. Keira sighed as she looked at the door her friend had just walked out of. "What are you up to now?" she thought in her head with smile picturing her friend getting in to some sort of trouble. "Oh Lisa Lisa Lisa."
As soon as she ran out of the boutique, Orlando had pulled up close enough that she could just hop right back in with Sharman in the back.
"Congratulations!" she shrieked as she reached over and hugged Orlando tightly not allowing him to even breathe causing Sharman and Will to laugh.
"He has to be alive to propose, Lisa!" Will said with a chuckle.
As soon as Will said that Lisa shrieked in excitement! "He's proposing!" she said to Sharman who also shrieked with excitement.
"I know! We have so much to plan!"
"What's she going to wear?"
"Ooh what about flowers?"
"What about pink?"
"She doesn't like pink! What about peach!"
"Oh how beautiful!"
Orlando and Will both sent each other a small grin as they heard the women planning the entire wedding before Keira even said yes, or no.
"I wish you good luck in these next few months" Will said as he patted Orlando on the shoulder. "and if she's anything like her mother-"
Will was instantly hushed by a smack in the back of his head from his lovely wife. "If she's anything like her mother what?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"If she's anything like her mother that you are a lucky man" Will said to protect himself from anymore physical harm. He winked at Orlando though who grinned knowing that Will was truly going to say something else.
Lisa, Sharman, Will and Orlando all drove to Tiffany's in search of Keira's ring. Sharman and Lisa rushed into the store immediately looking at numerous choices. Will and Orlando were enjoying a conversation until Sharman scolded her husband for not helping to look for the perfect ring for his own daughter. That left Orlando standing alone watching everyone working viciously. After a minute he started to stroll around trying to see if he found a special ring. He didn't just want some old diamond, he wanted it to have some meaning, or at least feel like Keira, his Keira. As he walked something sparkling caught his eye.
"What do we have here" he said to himself as he walked closer to it. A salesman named Michael saw him looking at the ring and decided to walk closer.
"May I be of help?" Michael asked a little nervous instantly recognizing who was standing in front of him.
Orlando without looking away from the ring replied. "No no, it's just this ring..."
"Would you like to get a closer look?" Michael asked as he unlocked the glass case. He took out the ring and handed in to Orlando who gently held it.
The ring alone was breath taking. It was an emerald cut three stone. The lines of the elegant emerald-cut center stone were perfectly proportioned with those of the similar slightly smaller matched side stones. The main diamond was not small by anymeans, but it wasn't too gaudy looking either. It was enough for the ring to speak for itself without any other diamonds on the band. It was perfect, enough to make Lisa's jaw drop as she saw it.
"That ring is gorgeous!" Lisa said as she looked at the ring that sparkled miles away. She could not believe the gorgeous piece of jewelry that's he saw Orlando hold in her hand. She was always happy for her friend but at that moment she admitted to herself that she was a little bit jealous.
Sharman and Will got closer to get a better look, and that's when Sharman got emotional. "That's the one" she said as she nodded with tears in her eyes.
Orlando released a small smile as he kept looking at the ring. He knew very well that this indeed was in fact the ring. It was beautiful in a strange way even in its simplicity.
"It's Keira" he started as a grin came on his face. Finally he made his choice. "I'll take it" he finally told Michael who quickly placed the ring in tiffany's signature teal velvet box, Sharman and Lisa both talked and squealed with excitement as the ring was handed to Orlando. "Congratulations Mr. Bloom. Thank you for choosing Tiffany's."
Orlando felt an instant joy when he had the ring in his pocket knowing that very soon he would be holding it in his hand as he proposed to the woman of his dreams. He wasn't the only who felt joy of course.
"Orlando!" Lisa squeaked as she hugged him tightly. Orlando hugged back.
"Thank you so much for everything Lisa" he started as he continued to hug her " Keira and I never would have made it without you."
Lisa had a wide smile as she stepped back. "Don't thank me Orlando. I do it because I love Keira and you. You two are the greatest friends I have ever had, which is why I'm warning you' she paused with a playful raised eyebrow. "You hurt her and I hurt you."
Orlando, Sharman, and Will all chuckled as they heard what Lisa had just said.
"Orlando I think you should be more afraid of her than of Will" Sharman said.
"Oh no, be afraid of me too" Will said as he nudged Orlando.
Orlando smiled before looking back at Lisa. "In all seriousness, thank you."
Lisa smiled back. "Anytime. Now let's get you back so that you can put this baby" he said as she pointed at the ring " on Keira's finger.
"Let's hope she'll say yes" he said with a sigh a bit nervous.
Lisa rolled her eyes. "You're kidding me right? Of course she'll say yes. In case you haven't realized, she's in love with you Orlando. Get with the program."
