"Home sweet home." Sonny says unlocking the door to Davis's apartment.
"Back to reality tomorrow." Davis says with a shoulder shrug.
"Hey, at least we had an amazing week together." Sonny reminds her.
"You're right. We did have an amazing week." Davis says looking at her ring.
Sonny catches her staring at it and smiles. "Ya gonna to wear it to the cookout?"
"Uh, who knew you were proposing?"
"Um, just Clay. He actually went with me to pick out the ring."
"Are you ready to tell the team we are engaged?" Lisa asks trying to work it though her own mind.
"I am if ya are." Sonny says sitting on the sofa.
Lisa walks over to him. "Okay, I am down. Let's tell them, but can we just wait and see how long it takes someone to notice? You know just for fun." Davis says with an evil smile.
"Sounds like the prefect plan to me." Sonny still couldn't believe this was happening, that Lisa Davis was his fiancée.
"I am going to go change before we head over to Ray and Naima's." Lisa heads to her bedroom.
Davis walks back out into the living room. Sonny looks up and takes in what is in front of him "Mm damn Davis, those jeans are looking mighty fuckin fine on ya." Sonny says standing and pulling her against him.
"We are leaving Sonny. Don't even think about it."
"What I can't tell my fiancée how hot I think she looks?"
"You can. Let's just keep it moving towards the door." Lisa pulls away from him
"Okay, okay. Let's get this show on the road."
They walk down Davis's SUV and get in. "How do you think they are going to react?" Davis asks looking down at her hands.
"I think they will be happy for us." Sonny says taking her hand in his.
"You don't think there is going to be anyone there that shouldn't know do you?" Lisa asks sounding even more concerned.
"Nah, it's just going to be the team. No one that doesn't already know." Sonny says stroking her hand with his thumb. Sonny pulls up in front of Ray and Naima's house. "Ya ready?"
Lisa takes a deep breath. "Yeah. Let's do this. Lisa says getting out of the car and walking towards the front door.
Lisa opens the door and walks in. Trent sees them first. "Hey guys. How was Mexico?"
"It was amazing" Lisa says, keeping her left hand hidden behind Sonny's back.
Clay walks in the door behind Sonny and Davis and sees the ring on Lisa's finger. "Congrats you two. See Sonny, I knew she would say yes."
"Well I guess the cat is out of the bag. Thanks to Clay." Davis says turning to look at him.
"Oh, uh. Was I not supposed to, uh. I just figured you're wearing the ring." Clay stumbles.
"No Clay, it's okay." Lisa reassures him.
"Wait? Did you two get engaged?" Trent looks at them shocked.
"Uh, we did." Sonny chuckles
"Congrats" Jason says pulling both of them into a hug.
"Thanks guys" Lisa laughs, relieved the team is happy for them. Lisa walks into the living room and sees Ray and Naima in the kitchen.
"Did I hear right? You and Sonny are engaged?" Naima asks reaching her arms out to Lisa.
"You did." Lisa smiles
Naima takes Lisa's left hand "Holy crap. A black diamond? Wow."
"Yeah, I love it. I would have never picked it out, but it's so fitting." Davis smiles trying to accept the fact that she is going to be the center of attention for a while.
"I know you probably hate the fuss, but how did he do it?" Naima asks.
"It is a little weird being the center of attention, but as corny as it sounds we had a candle lit dinner on the beach and after dinner he got on one knee and gave me a whole speech about how much he loves me and great we are and um, yeah."
"Well I for one am so happy for you two. From day one of Ray telling me about you guys, I knew it was forever. You guys are prefect for each other."
"Thanks Naima. I hate to say this, but secrets safe with you?"
"Oh of course Lisa. I would never want to do anything to mess up your careers."
"Thank you so much." Lisa says hugging Naima again.
Lisa walks out onto the deck and sees Emma sitting on the edge of the deck watching Clay play with Jameelah. Lisa sits next to her. "Hey. It's good to see you. How are you?"
"Hey Lisa." Emma says wrapping her arms around Lisa. "I am good, just thought I would come and see my Dad. You're looking very tan by the way."
"Oh yeah we just got back from Mexico." Lisa replies before thinking.
"We?" Emma raises an eyebrow at Lisa.
"Uh, um yeah, I guess no one told you. Sonny and I are a thing, actually we got engaged." Lisa says holding out her left hand
"Holy shit, what? You and Sonny? Oh my god. How long? And that ring is gorgeous."
Lisa laughs "Really, and a little over two years of actually being in a relationship. It is gorgeous isn't?
"Lisa I am seriously in shock, but the team and your job. I'm not in the Navy, but I thought."
"You though right Emma. Sonny and I never meant for any of this to happen. We were best friends that fell in love. We tried to fight it, but we couldn't. The team and Blackburn know and that's it. And we intend on keeping it that way." Lisa locked eyes with Emma.
"Oh my god of course. I would never dream of telling anyone." Emma responds fully understanding how huge of a deal this is.
"Thank you, Emma. Now do you want to tell me why you keep eye fucking Clay."
Emma nearly falls off the deck "Shit Lisa. You're really just going to call me out like that."
"I am just calling it like I see it. And I see you nearly drooling over him." Lisa laughs
"I always thought he was hot, but now having gone off to college in New York and meeting guys up there, I am starting to realize I really like the macho male thing I spent all of those years thinking I hated."
"I will deny this if anyone ever asks me if I told you this Emma. It's fucking hot. Like one, look at them. Two, you can't beat the shear strength and stamina. I mean any position, can hold you up and throw you around. Three, the cocky ego. And four being the only one who sees the sweet nice side of him."
"Damn Lisa, my dad would kill you if he knew you just said that to me."
"Which is why I will deny it. I like being alive." Lisa laughs.
"So you're telling me I should go for Clay?"
"Woah, I said no such thing. There is a lot more that goes into that decision than just getting your brains banged out. Especially since he is one of your dad's team members. And do you really want to date a team guy after watching your mom struggle?"
"Let's just play what if for a second. Do you think he would try to make me leave school?"
"Not for a second. That's not the kind of guy Clay is. He's actually a deep thinker and very caring."
"I thought you were not telling me to go for him Lisa?"
"I am not selling him to you Emma, I am just answering your questions."
"Do you even think he would, or does he think of me as a kid still?"
"Um, I'm not sure, but he didn't watch you grow up like the rest of the guys did."
"Interesting" Emma says looking up as Clay came towards them.
Clay sits between Lisa and Emma and drapes his arms over their shoulders "This looks like trouble."
Emma giggles. Lisa responds, "and why would you make such an accusation Clay?"
"Because I don't trust you two." Clay winks at Emma.
"But I am so trustworthy." Emma gives flashes Clay the most innocent smile she can muster.
Clay leans over and whispers in Emma's ear "That's the shit I am talking about, we all know you're not that innocent."
Lisa chuckles, "I am going to leave you two alone." Lisa gets up and walks away shaking her head.
Emma swallows hard. "What would make you say that?"
"I saw you watching me. I saw the way you were looking at me." Clay counters.
"I, um I was watching you play with Jameelah, that's it." Emma says suddenly very unsure of herself.
"Don't lie to me. I like a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it." Clay tells her locking eyes with her.
Lisa finds Sonny manning the grill. "Hi handsome."
"Hey babe. Done with girl talk?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about Sonny"
Sonny turns to nod towards Emma and sees Clay's arm draped over her shoulder "What the fuck is that."
"Down boy. They are allowed to talk."
"Not like that." Sonny looks pissed.
"Don't be a dipshit Sonny." Lisa pulls out her phone and text Emma, "I know you're enjoying yourself, but you should probably get Clay's arm off you before shit goes sideways around here."
Emma and Clay both see the text and Clay pulls his arm from around Emma and scoots over a little. "Sorry" He mumbles.
"Don't be sorry. You'll just have to take me out on a date, away from the prying eyes of the team."
Clay's face lights up. "I'd like that. I actually don't think I have your number." Clay says pulling out his phone.
Emma gives Clay her number. "We should probably mingle with other people before someone says some smart shit."
"You're a smart woman, you know that?" Clay chuckles
"I have been told that a time or two." Emma says before walking away.
Sonny, Naima and Ray finish cooking and everyone fills their plates and finds a seat. "Davis don't kill us, okay?" Brock asks.
"Um, okay Brock."
"You and Sonny are engaged?"
"Yes, we are." Sonny butts in
"Damn Sonny, let the woman talk." Trent laughs.
"Oh, it's more than fine that Sonny answers these questions. He knows I hate shit like this, it's one of the many reasons we work so great together." Lisa says rubbing Sonny's thigh.
"Let me get this straight, for once badass Davis is willing to let a man answer for her?" Metal pokes.
"Easy Metal, there is a first time for everything." Davis laughs.
"And I ain't just some man" Sonny adds.
"Okay, fair enough." Trent says.
"You two are really official. I mean I am really going to be sitting at your wedding one day. One far off day I hope." Blackburn says eyeing Davis.
She responds "We are, but it has no bearing on our professional lives. I promise, no one is leaving the Navy of their own volition anytime soon."
"Always good to hear that we don't have to break in new people." Eric says taking a sip of his beer.
Sonny looks at Lisa to make sure she is okay. He knows Blackburn can mind fuck her in a way most people can't. Lisa feels his eyes on her, she leans over and whispers in his ear. "I'm good baby."
Ray looks between Sonny and Davis. "So, if neither of you are leaving the Navy the why get engaged?"
Sonny huffs on the inside, of course Ray fucking Perry was the one asking this question "Ya know Ray. I love her and she loves me and I wanted to show her that. You're right we ain't gonna be able to get married for a while, but that doesn't mean we can't be that committed to each other."
"There's something you don't hear every day, Sonny Quinn committed." Ray tries to make a joke out of it, but Sonny is already annoyed by him.
"The ring, what are you going to do about the ring at work?" Jason asks
"Oh… I hadn't really thought about it, um I don't think I'll wear it. I just feel like it would cause way too many questions. Are you okay with that?" Lisa says turning to Sonny.
"It's the smartest idea. We don't need a bunch of people goin around askin ya about where it came from and who he is." Sonny says knowing she is right.
"That's my thought." Lisa smiles.
"Not that my opinion matters, but that's the safest plan." Jason says.
"How did it happen?" Brock askes.
"A private candle lit dinner on the beach." Sonny answers.
"Damn Quinn" Trent laughs. "That's some romantic shit for you."
"It is, but Davis is worth it." He defends.
"Aren't you two cute." Metal jokes. The group laughs.
"We are, you fucking assholes." Lisa says, managing to keep a straight face.
"I for one, am happy for you two." Jason says with a big smile.
"Thank you, Jason." Lisa smiles.
The group finishes eating. Sonny leans over to Davis "I am ready to go. How about ya?"
"Um, yeah Sonny I am. Just give me a minute okay." Lisa walks over to Emma. "Are Romeo and Juliet enjoying themselves this evening?"
"Geezz Lisa. You can't just let me enjoy this?" Emma whines
"I can and I will, I just want to make she you know what you are doing and understand the repercussions of it. You very well may get Clay's ass beat by your dad and the rest of the team." Lisa looks sternly at Emma.
"Or Dad could be relieved that I am dating a nice guy that he can trust." Emma counters.
"Um, I wouldn't bet on that. You're his little girl, always have been always will be. Also, the entire team has watched you grow up, they are all going to stand behind your dad if some shit goes down."
"Seriously Lisa? How are you so okay with it then?"
"Because I have had my fair share of older boyfriends and I get it. He's a good guy and if he wasn't one of your dad's guys the only thing I would tell you to stop and think about is do you want to be with an operator, but that just isn't the case. Also, want to know why I told you to get Clay's arm off you earlier?"
"Because you didn't want anyone to see us?" Emma guesses.
"Because Sonny saw you and I thought he was going to rip Clay's arm off and beat him with it. That is what you two would be up against if you tried to be together." Lisa tell her.
"So, you don't think Sonny would ever come around?" Emma inquires.
"No, I think he would. It would just take a lot of time for him to wrap his mind around it and for him to push out all of the game him and Clay have run over the years." Lisa informs Emma.
"How is that different than you and Sonny?" Emma says not backing down.
"For one we are both older, no one knew us as kids. I don't think anyone is particularly shocked that we are together, there were always a bunch of rumors about us. But do know that not everyone took too kindly to us being together, more because of the job than anything, but never the less I still think certain people don't really like it."
"How did they find out anyways?" Emma asks
"Oh story for another day." Lisa laughs. "But can you please promise me you will think a little harder on it before you do anything?"
"Yeah I can do that." Emma says reaching out to hug Lisa. "Thank you for treating me like an adult and not telling me I am crazy."
"Of course. Let me know if you need anything." Lisa says pulling away and heading back over to Sonny. "Okay, I am ready."
"Cool." Sonny says taking her hand. They wave bye to everyone and head to their car.
Once in the car Sonny turns to Davis. "You sure were talking to Emma a lot tonight."
"Oh I am sorry, I didn't realize that was a problem for you Sonny."
"Damn Davis, it was just an observation. Don't kill me, shit."
"Yes, I was talking to her. Her and I talk from time to time. What's the big deal?" Davis asks.
"Um, uh I was just wondering if she told you why Clay had his arm on her the way he did." Sonny says. He knew something was up, but he wasn't sure what.
"There were talking. She was telling him how nice it was of him to play with Jameelah the way he was."
"If you say that's it there Davis."
"Well I do. Plus, we all know Sonny has put his arm around women he had no intention of doing anything with.
"Ya got me there. How is she doin in New York? I haven't really talked to her." Sonny says.
"She's good, really liking it." Lisa tells him.
Sonny pulls into the parking lot of Lisa's apartment complex. They get out of her SUV and walk inside. "I am ready for bed. How about you?" Lisa looks at Sonny as she starts to take of her shoes and unbutton her jeans.
"Like sleep bed or…" Sonny asks
"Sleep, that dinner was exhausting." Lisa says disappearing into the bathroom. When she reappears in her pajamas, she finds Sonny lying in bed in his boxers. She smiles and walks towards him.
Sonny sees her smiling as she is approaching him. "I thought we were just sleepin?"
"We are. Doesn't mean I can't smile at you because I am enjoying seeing you lying in my bed." Davis says sitting on the edge of the bed.
"It is real nice ain't it?" Sonny says pulling her onto his lap.
"Shit Sonny" Davis squeals. "I am not ready to go back to the real-world tomorrow. Back to pretending I'm not engaged to the hottest guy. Back to saying I instead of we. Back to hiding how I feel about you."
"I know Lisa, this last week has been so nice, just gettin to be us. But it will all be okay." Sonny kisses her temple. "I ain't gonna lie to ya, I'm tired too."
"Oh, so you want me to get off you?" Lisa asks scooting off Sonny's lap.
"Not really, but we ain't gonna sleep sitting up." Sonny lays down in the bed and pulls Lisa close. "I love honey."
"I love you too Sonny."
