"I can't believe I let you talk me into wearing this."

Letty snickered, "You look good though."

Reighn had to agree. The black, slinky dress hung on all the right curves, being nearly floor length it had a slit up one side to reveal tanned, toned legs and a pair of strappy black stilettos. The dress had a nearly closed back, and Reighn's hair fell down her back and around her face in a softly curling mass. She'd allowed Mia to do her make-up in shimmery hues of silver and white and then Allana had ordered her to put her peirced ears to good use. Teardrop earrings fell from her ears on white-silver chans, and a matching necklace was laced around her neck.

"Leon is gonna flip when he sees you." Kittie said with a grin as she finished Reighn's nails in a french manicure like look with a glassy shimmery overcoat.

"I can tell you that much," Mia said with a sigh, "I wonder where he's taking you?"

"He said fancy." Reight replied, "Somebody go see what he's wearing for me?"

Allana laughed and wandered down the stairs, stopping for a moment to gawk at Leon like a landed fish. He was wearing loose slacks with an untucked dark blue satin shirt and somehow made it look classy. She walked over to Vince, who was beckoning to her and she joined Vince, Dom and Jesse in a corner of the room, "What?"

"Well?"

"Damn, you guys did a fine job!"

"Thank you!"

Allana grinned, "They'll look really good together."

"Ladies and gents, may I present the one and only, Miss Reighn Landcaster?" Letty did a Vana White like pose to the stair case and Reighn made her way down the steps, a black shawl wrapped over her arms to complete to look. Allana saw the guy's jaws drop and giggled, happy with the result.

Reighn stopped nervously in front of Leon, admiring the veiw of him dressed up like that. He blinked, green eyes sparkling, "You look beautiful Reighn."

She smiled, "Not to bad yourself."

"Shall we then?"

Reighn took his offered arm, "We shall."

He led her outside and to his car, opening the door like a propber gentlemen and running around to his side, a cheesy grin plastered on his face. He got in and headed off.

"So where are we going?"

Leon looked over at her with a smile, "A new french place, I can't pronounce the name."

Her violet eyes sparkled, "All right."

He pulled up outside as fancy resturaunt with the awnings and flowers and red carpet. He got out of the car and opened Reighn's door before handing the keys to the valet, threatening him with castration if the car came back with so much as a scrach. Reighn laughed and took his arm as he led her inside.

"Name?"

"Thanos."

The Matre Dur smiled and picked up a pair of menus, "Right this was please."

He led them through the room, around a dance floor and up the steps to a small, circular table, lit with candles. Leon pulled out her chair and sat down across from her. A waiter wandered over, "May I suggest some wine?"

They looked at each other for a moment, "Yes, actually, I'll trust you to pick something though."

The waiter raised an eyebrow and wandered off. Leon grinned at Reighn and stood, offering her his hand. She raised an eyebrow, but took it anyway and he led her out onto the dance floor. He held her close as they began to dance, holding her hand over his heart. She leaned her head on his shoulder closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, her lungs filling with the scent of his colonge. He kissed the top of her head and tightended his grip on her waist, not wanting to let go.

The meal was over and Leon was terrified. He knew she'd say yes, and he knew that it was most likely the fact that they were surrounded by people and he was actually getting down on one knee. She was watching him too, trying to decipher his expression, that was not helping. Okay man, just do it. She's gonna say yes. He sighed, it was now or never.

"Reighn?"

"Hmmm?"

"I love you."

She smiled, "I love you too Leon."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

Leon smiled slightly, swallowing the lump in his throat and rising, only to kneel down in front of her. He pulled out the light gray ring box that had been burning a hole in his pocket all night. "Reighn, I love you, and I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you... Will you marry me?"

Her eyes were filling with tears. He didn't expect that. He could feel the eyes of everyone in the resturaunt burning holes in his back as he waited for her aswer. She smiled, nodded, "Yes! Yes I will!"

Leon let out a sigh of relief as applause filled the room and he sliiped the ring onto her finger, rising and and pulling her into his arms, kissing her soflty and she tried to wipe her tears away.

"Are they back yet?"

"No! Stop asking!"

"Merooowwwwrrrr..."

"Don't start Kittie."

"Here they come!"

The four women stopped bickering and gazed out Mia's bedroom window as Leon's yellow car pulled up and he got out, moving around to the otherside of the car and opening the door for Reighn. They walked up the steps to the house and kissed, trying to postpone the ending to their night together.

Kittie giggled, ruining the effect and Allana jabbed her in the ribs.

"Wait! You guys! Is that what I think it is?!"

"What are you talking about Mia?"

Mia put her face up to the glass, "It is! Sparkling in the porch light, on her left hand!"

The other three women looked long and hard before squealing as one and jumping up and down holding hands, even Letty.

"What the hell is going on?!"

They looked up to see three grumpy, sleepy men in the door way. A wide smile cracked over Letty's face, "He proposed! Leon asked Reighn to marry him! See! She's wearing a diamond!!!!"

"What?!"

They scrambled to the window and smashed their faces up against it, trying to get a glimpse of the ring. It shimmered and they all stepped back with shock on thier features.

"Whoa." Dom said.

"That's it? 'Whoa'?"

"Well if your asking, no I'm not going to jump up and down and squeal." Dom retorted crossly.
