Chapter 17
Next morning, Manny and Chester are laying in bed as Chester rolls over in bed, sees Manny sleeping next to him, he gets up and goes downstairs to start cooking some breakfast. A short time later
Manny (groans): What smells so good?
Chester: Morning Princess
Manny (groans): Hi baby
Chester: You were sleeping so beautifully I didn't want to wake you, so I thought I'd come downstairs and make us some breakfast.
Manny: Awe, that's so sweet.
Manny softly kisses Chester
Manny: Smells good sweetheart. What's on the menu?
Chester: Bacon, Eggs and Pancakes
Manny: Have I told you lately, how much I love being spoiled by you?
Chester (smiles): All the time.
Manny wraps her arm around Chester's
Manny: I love you with all my heart Chester Allen, I don't want to picture a life without you.
Chester: I love you, Manny. Nothing will keep me from you. I promise you that.
Chester: Come on baby, eat up before your breakfast gets cold.
They sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast together
Manny: I'm so glad you like that song I wrote for you, babe.
Chester: Are you kidding? I loved it Manny. I thought it was really sweet, Princess
Manny: These last 3 ½ years together have been the best of my life, when we first got back together, I never thought I could love someone so much as I love you.
Chester: I feel the same way about you, Manny.
Manny: I fall more and more in love with you every day, and honestly, it worries me a little
Chester: Baby-
Manny: I trust you, with every ounce of me, I'm madly in love with you, don't get me wrong. I just worry I'll get hurt.
Chester: Manny, baby, All I've ever wanted was to make you happy and feel safe with me. I know we've had a little bit of trouble before, but I promise you, there is only 1 girl who has my heart, and that's you. I am crazy in love with you Manuela, I can't wait until next August to see you walk down that aisle in your beautiful dress.
Manny (smiles): Thank you babe.
Chester: For what, honey?
Manny: Reminding me what an amazing Man I Have
Chester: Everything I said, is true babe.
Manny: I know it was baby. I'm honestly so happy with you. I can't even begin to describe it
Chester: That makes me happy
Manny gets up and Cleans up breakfast.
Manny: I got it baby. You just relax.
Chester: Are you sure?
Manny grabs Chester and kisses him
Manny: Yes, I am sure.
Chester goes outside in the backyard as Manny finishes cleaning up breakfast
Chester: Do you have to go to the studio today?
Manny: I mean, I could, but I want to be home and doing nothing, with the man of my dreams.
Chester: Manny, your music is important to you.
Chester said as he comes back in the house and sits in the chair
Manny: Yea I know it is Chester. I don't even have enough material to even go to the studio. I have like 2 songs.
Chester: You sure?
Manny walks over to Chester and rubs his shoulders
Manny: All I want is to spend the day with you. That's all I want
Chester: Good
Chester turns around and scoops Manny in his arms
Manny: I will never stop loving you
Manny says as she smiles looking into Chester's eyes
Chester: I love you, Manuela Rose. Always will.
Chester takes Manny by the hand
Manny: Where are we going?
Chester: Close your eyes and trust me
Chester leads Manny out in the backyard
Manny (chuckles): Babe, where are we going?
Chester: Almost there.
He leads her to the swing
Manny (chuckles): Babe!
Chester: Open.
Manny opens her eyes to see a necklace box laying on the swing
Manny: What did you do?
Chester: I wanted to get my incredibly beautiful fiancée something nice. Open it baby.
Manny opens the box to see a heart shape rose gold necklace
Manny: Baby, it's beautiful. I love it
Chester: It's engraved on the back baby.
Manny turns the pendant over
Manny: You put our anniversary on it?
Chester: Do you like it?
Manny: It's perfect baby. I love it. Thank you
Manny kisses Chester. Chester puts the Necklace around Manny's neck and softly kisses her neck
Chester: It looks beautiful on you.
Manny: I love it, it's perfect.
Chester: I'm glad you like it sweetheart.
Manny: You always surprise me with the sweetest gifts, and I never have anything for you.
Chester: You, are more than enough for me baby.
Manny: You are the most wonderful man ever Chester. I love you with all my heart
Chester: I have the most thoughtful, funny, sweet, and beautiful fiancée any man could ever want. You are perfect to me.
Manny: Awe, you're going to make me cry
Chester kisses Manny
Chester: I am the luckiest man ever
Manny (smiles): I was thinking the same thing
Chester: Just wait until you become Mrs. Johnson
Manny: I like the sound of it already.
Chester: Next August, you and I will have your dream fairy tale wedding, baby.
Manny: All I need is you and I'll have my dream wedding
They sit on the swing, listening to the birds chirp as Manny lays her head on Chester's shoulder, looking at her engagement ring
Chester: Hey, When I asked you out 3 ½ years ago, something told me we would fall madly in love with each other
Manny: Really?
Chester nods yes
Chester: Call it fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it, but something in that moment told me, I found the girl I want to spend the rest of my life loving and caring for.
Manny: Awe that's so romantic, how come you never told me that before?
Chester: I've always wanted to, I guess every time I wanted to tell you, I chickened out
Chester laughs as Manny runs the back of her hand against Chester's face
Manny: You're so cute.
Manny leans in and softly kisses Chester
Chester: You feel this
Chester takes Manny's hand and places it over his heart
Chester: This is what you do to me.
Manny: Really?
Chester: You make my heart skip a beat when I'm with you.
Manny: I – I had no idea, Chester
Chester (voice breaks): I can't picture my life without you, nor would I want to. I am madly, head over heels in love with you, Manny. Every day I thank my lucky stars I have you, I count my blessings I get to fall asleep and wake up next to you every day.
Manny: Chester, that's so sweet. Nobody has ever made me feel the way you do when I'm with you, Chester. I feel the safest I've ever been since I've been with you, you make me the happiest girl in the world. I love you so much, I'm so grateful to have you as the love of my life, baby.
Chester pulls Manny into his arms and kisses her forehead
Manny: You are the best fiancé a girl could ever have.
Chester: Always and forever, Princess.
Manny: I feel like I'm floating on air, you make me so happy.
Chester smiles
Chester: I've never met someone who makes me feel the way I do when I'm with you. Sometimes I wonder how you put up with me
They laugh
Manny: Honey, I could never get tired of you. You are the best.
Chester: You know what?
Manny: What?
Chester: Have you thought about getting tattoos together?
Manny: What did you have in mind babe?
Chester: Something meaningful between the 2 of us
Manny: Well, why don't you and I go to a tattoo shop and look at some ideas.
Chester: I was thinking maybe a heart maybe on our ring finger or something
Manny: I love the heart idea honey. I think it's great
Chester: What about a heart and a rose?
Manny: How about I get a heart on my wrist with your name or initials with our anniversary?
Chester: Awe I love that idea
Manny: I've been thinking about that for a while actually
Chester: Have you really?
Manny: Yea, I just haven't really had time, between the album, helping Em with her wedding and ours.
Chester: Next week we will go get tattoos together.
Manny lays her head on Chester's shoulder
Manny: I love you so much, thank you for being so sweet and amazing, I've been so stressed about the wedding and everything
Chester: I love you, just relax. You know I got you, babe
Manny: Thank you, baby. I know I can always count on you to be my rock.
Chester: Always, what kind of fiancé would I be if I didn't take care of my girl and have her back?
Chester said as he kisses Manny
Manny: I just can't wait until we have everything planned out, then maybe I can relax a little.
Chester: Well, we have the most important things done, we got the venue and the bridal party
Manny: Yea, this is true.
Chester: And most importantly we have a date set too
Manny: Yes, I'm so glad about that.
Chester: We have your flowers picked, everything else will fall into place Mi armor.
Manny: This wedding is going to be amazing
Chester: As long as I get to marry you at the end of it, that's all I care about
Manny: How did I get so lucky to be marrying my soulmate and my everything?
Chester: Same here baby.
Manny lays her head on Chester's shoulder as they continue sitting on the swing in back
Chester: I promise I will always be here for you Manny.
Manny (softly): I know you will Chester.
Manny's phone rings, it's her producer calling
Manny (groans): Kill the mood why don't you
Chester (chuckles): Go ahead and see what he wants
Manny (to Tommy): What do you want Harrison?
Tommy: Well, hello to you too, Santos
Manny and Chester laugh
Manny (chuckle): What do you want Tommy?
Tommy: Do you got time to come by the studio?
Manny: For what?
Tommy: Uh to work on your next record? At least an EP or a single
Manny: Alright, I'll be down in a little bit
Manny hangs up
Manny (to Chester:): I'm needed at the studio, sadly
Chester gives Manny a passionate kiss
Chester: Go be a Rockstar, baby. I'll probably go see Chuck for a little
Manny: It'll be good for you two to catch up, honey
Manny goes in the house and gets ready to leave. A few minutes later she walks outside to kiss Chester goodbye
Chester: Have fun baby. I'll see you tonight
Manny: Bye baby, have fun with your brother
Manny leaves and heads to the studio
