Ali, Spring, and Sarah looked at each other in disbelief. The three were going over to the guys' condo before Ali and Nick went out to dinner, and they heard a few people singing the lyrics to Shania Twain's "Man I Feel Like A Woman" at the top of her lungs. They stuck their heads in Brian and Howie's room just as the best part came on.
"And man, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN!" Brian, AJ and Nick were jumping down on Brian's and Howie's beds, going back and forth between the two, singing at the top of their lungs. Wearing nothing but boxers and wife beater t-shirts. Brian was wearing boxers with little red hearts all over them, AJ's had smiley faces on them, and Nick's were Tommy Hilfiger ones. Amusing, if anything.
The three friends couldn't hold their laughter in anymore, they burst out laughing just as Nick and Brian tried to jump from bed to bed, colliding with each other in the process, sending them straight to the ground. AJ was standing on top of his bed, turning very red very quickly.
"Hey, AJ, nice boxers," Sarah laughed before walking up to him and pulling his legs out from, sending him flying on his back to the bed. He looked like an upside-down turtle, laying on his back with his legs flying in all directions. This made Sarah, Spring, and Ali laugh even harder. Then Nick and Brian popped their heads up between the two beds and made silly faces at the girls. Which sent the girls to the floor in laughter. Soon, all three were gasping for air, sprawled out in strategic places on the floor and beds.

"When are we leaving?" Ali asked Nick, whose stomach she was using as a pillow.
"As soon as someone gets off my stomach," he said, poking her in the arm lightly.
Ali lifted her head and punched Nick playfully in the arm. "Ha ha ha. I'm off, let's go," she said.
"Okay," Nick said, watching Ali walk out of the room. He quickly got dressed and looked himself over in the mirror, and before walking out of the room, he reached in a dresser drawer and pulled out a small black velvet jewelry box. I hope this works, he thought as he stuck it in his pocket and walked out of the room.

"Nick, what's wrong?" Ali asked, wondering why Nick suddenly could not sit still.
"Uhh, nothing, really," Nick said, hoping Ali didn't catch on yet. "So, are you having a good time?"
"Yeah, I'm having a great time," Ali said, still worried about Nick.
"Great. I wanted you to have a good time tonight. Ali, I love you," Nick said, reaching for her hand over the table.
"I love you too," Ali said, taking his hand.
Soon they were done eating, and Nick suggested that they go for a walk on the beach. Ali agreed, and they were walking for about a half an hour when Nick secided that now was the time. He stopped walking, grabbed both of Ali's hands and stopped her. He took a deep breath before he started. "Ali, I love you more then life itself. You mean the world to me. I want to be with you for the rest of my life, I know it. I know I'm only eighteen years old, but I know what I feel. So, I don't know what you're going to say to this, and I'd completely understand if you said no."
At this point, Nick got down on one knee, and let go of Ali's hand to reach in his pocket to pull out a ring box. Ali gasped at when he was doing, she couldn't believe what was happening.
"Ali, will you marry me?" He opened the ring box to reveal the most beautiful engagement ring she had ever seen. It was a circular diamond, surrounded by seven blue diamonds, for the seven days they had been dating, and blue for her favorite color. Ali didn't know what to say, she was stunned. Never in her life had she thought that someone like Nick would ever be her boyfriend, let alone ask her to marry her, after a week of dating.
"Ali, please, say something," NIck pleaded.
"Nick, I..."
