Just so you guys know I'm not going to put up something with Jake and Cassandra getting intimate unless you want me to and if I do it won't be in the story chapters it'll be a stand alone story. So anyway lets' keep going with the story for now!
Cassandra felt bad because of what Murrary had said about her but she felt worse about the fact that it seemed to bother Jake more than anything else they had done or said when they had shown up. What was worse was that everytime she tried to get near him he would back away seemingly to afraid to get to close to her. Chance had had a stern talking with him but it didn't seem to ease his worry anymore but atleast he was talking to her inbetween calls, sorting the junk pile and fixing up cars that came in. The last call that night actually came from Felina "Oh hey Cass, can you tell Chance that I need to talk to him about something real fast?" she asked.
"Oh yeah sure hold on." Cassandra replied and she went and got Chance, he answered it after wiping off his hands with a smile on his face. Cassandra smiled a bit herself thinking about how nice it would be to have someone to talk to that made you smile all the time. Jake walked up beside her wiping his hands and then his brow.
"Felina?" he asked looking at her, Cassandra looked at him and felt herself smile even more. Jake couldn't help but feel alittle smile cross his lips and he didn't know if it was because of the thought Chance being whipped or Cassandra. After a few minutes Chance got off the phone and he had a slight frown on his face.
"Well that's not good. Me and Felina made plans with a couple she's friends with to go out to a nice restaurant tonight and they just called her and told her that they weren't going to come because they had gotten the stomach flu. Guess we'll have to cancel or try to call the place and change it from four to two. I just hope we don't have to it's a really nice restaurant and I had something planned for tonight." he said looking down. Jake sighed and looked at Cassandra and then they had the same idea at the same time.
"We'll go." they said at the sametime, Chance looked up shocked that they had agreed at the sametime and that they were going to go together. His shock quickly vanished and a smile spread across his face.
"You guys would do that for me? Oh thanks so much!" he said turning back to the phone to let Felina know that the date was still on. Cassandra smiled to herself then looked up at Jake.
"Um I'll have to call Callie to let her know so that I can go get ready." she said trying to hide her cheeks a bit. Jake knodded trying to act like he didn't see her getting alittle red in the face. Once Chance got off Cassandra called her sister to let her know to come get her early so that she could get ready, when she got off the phone Chance told her what kind of outfit they had to wear since it was a fancy restaurant and told her what time him and Jake would be there to pick her up. Callie didn't take to long to pick her up and take her back to the house, she helped her pick out a black skirt that went down to her knees, a blue tank top, and black dress shoes that had straps that kept it in place. Chance, Jake and Felina showed up all three of them were excited to get the chance to go out for a night which according to Callie was rare.
Felina had on a red strapless top and black dress pants, while Chance and Jake had on dress shirts and dress pants and they had cleaned themselves up alittle. Cassandra could swear that Chance had even put on some cologne but she was sure it was just her imagination. She got into the car and waved goodbye to Callie. "Have a good time you guys!" she yelled and then she stepped back inside. Cassandra felt alittle bad about going out to a fancy restaurant with Jake but Callie had been understanding about the situation and thought it was nice that her and Jake had agreed to go with Chance and Felina so that they wouldn't have to cancel their reservation.
Chance didn't have a hard time finding a parking spot, both him and Jake got out and helped Cassandra and Felina get out and walked up to the door. When they walked in Cassandra was surprised at how fancy it was inside, she was worried that she wasn't dressed up enough until she saw a few others dressed like she was. The waiter showed them to their table and handed them their menus, while they were looking he asked them what they would like to drink. Chance and Jake picked drinks that were slightly alcoholic and Felina got some kind of wine, when he looked at her Cassandra blinked at him "Do you have anything non-alcoholic? I don't drink." she said.
"Oh yes we do. Would you like a glass of water, milk or one of the sodas we have?" he asked still holding the pen and paper. Cassandra thought about it for a second then looked back up.
"A glass of milk will be fine." she said to him, the waiter knodded and wrote it down before heading off to get the drinks. Cassandra wasn't sure what to get since half of the stuff on the menu she had never heard of let alone seen, the waiter came back with the drinks and saw the confused look on her face.
"If you need help picking out something I can make a recommondation if you'd like." he said placing the glasses down. Cassandra looked up with a smile, atleast he was being understanding about the fact that she had no idea what she wanted.
"Actually I do. I don't really like sour or spicy stuff and I'm not sure what to get exactly, some of them sound like they're spicy to me." she replied scatching her head.
"Well we have a chicken that they put seasoning on but none that are spicy and no sauce that's sour." he said pointing to it. Cassandra thought it over for a minute.
"Okay then I'll try that." she said looking up, he quickly wrote it down and then got the others' orders before walking away. Felina leaned over and whispered in Cassandras' ear.
"I don't like sour stuff either don't worry about it. As for Jake and Chance the spicier the better. Don't be surprised if you find them having a hot pepper eating contest one of these days." she said laughing a bit. Chance and Jake looked at her with puzzled looks but she just shrugged and gave them a sweet little smile. After a few minutes the waiter came back and gave them their food, all four of them sat and talked to eachother laughing and joking every so often. Cassandra happened to glance up from her chicken and saw a look on Chances' face that had her a bit worried, he seemed to be thinking about something hard. Jake looked over and saw her staring at Chance, he glanced over and saw the same look.
"Chance what's wrong buddy? Are you okay?" Jake asked a bit concerned, Chance just shook his head yes then got up from the table and excused himself. Cassandras' eyes went wide and her jaw dropped a bit, she looked at Jake who had the same look and they both looked at Felina who had tears in her eyes. "Maybe he's not feeling well all of a sudden." Jake said trying to make her feel better, Cassandra reached over and squeezed her hand.
"You said he likes spicy stuff maybe what he got was to spicy. Or maybe he really had to run to the bathroom." she said trying to reassure her. Felina took her napkin and dabbed at her eyes sniffling every so often. Jake got up and Cassandra looked up at him with a quizzical look.
"I'm going to go see where he's at and what's going on. I'll be back." he said walking away as well, Cassandra felt irated now since she wasn't to good with making kats feel better in situations like she was in. A few minutes later Jake come back with a blank look on his face which Cassandra was sure so that her and Felina couldn't tell what had just happened. When Chance still didn't come back a few minutes later Cassandra went to get up but Jake grabbed her arm "Just wait." he said with a smile. Cassandra slowly sat back down staring at Jake until she saw the waiter come back and take their empty dishes and then he handed Felina a slice of cake to Felina.
"Your boyfriend said that you would like a piece." he said holding out a fork, Felina sighed and went to grab the fork and then gasped. Cassandra quickly looked and then she gasped too while Jake just chuckled. Tied to the fork was a ring the waiter smiled while Felina slowly untied the ring from the fork and Cassandra felt someone walk up behind her and kneel down. She turned slightly and saw Chance down on one knee, Cassandra could see tears welling up in Felinas' eyes again. Jake got closer with the biggest grin on his face, he placed his elbow on his leg and leaned on his hand to see what would happen. Chance cleared his throat obviously nervous, Jake reached over and gave him a quick pat to get him started.
"Uh...Felina w-w-we've been going out for a few years now and we've been through alot. You know my secret and you've never told anyone else but Cass which I don't care about. You've stood up for me when I've needed you to and ripped me a new one when I needed to have it done as well. You've helped me and Jake when we needed it most and I know there's nothing you wouldn't do for me, so I always decided to do the one thing I should of done for you long ago. I already got your dads' blessing which is good enough for me. Now the only thing I need to do is ask you" at this point Chance had taken one of her hands "Is for you to marry me. That would make me the happiest kat alive. I could live in that junkyard for the rest of my life and I wouldn't care as long as you're there with me." he said shaking a bit. Felina didn't answer at first and Cassandra pushed on her foot from under the table. Felina looked over at her while wiping tears from her eyes.
"Answer him! We're all waiting." Cassandra said giving her a stern look that made everyone laugh, Felina sniffled a bit more and then shook her head yes. Cassandra and Jake gave a slight cheer while Chance gave Felina a kiss and put the ring on her finger. "Oh wait until I tell Callie!" Cassandra said giving Felina a hug. They left later that night all of them excited about the fact that Felina and Chance were now engaged, it was perfectly clear that Felina had no intention to let her uncle to get inbetween it either so there was no worries. She got up to Callies' after Chance dropped her off and went looking for her sister. Callie was in the kitchen washing dishes when she came in, Callie turned around and smiled.
"Someone's happy. So how did it go?" she asked turning around wrapping her arms around herself with a smile.
"Oh great. Felina and Chance are engaged now." Cassandra replied walking into the spare bedroom. Callie turned back to the dishes with a smile.
"Oh that's nice to know...wait...they're engaged?!" Callie said turning around with a shocked look on her face.
