"Thank you, Lance," Mona said, sitting down. Lance walked into the kitchen and came out with their dinner. He set one infront of Mona and one at his seat. Then he lit the candles. His suit glowed... it was on fire.
"Ahh! Lance!" Mona screamed. She jumped up and threw her water on him.
"Oh my God. Maybe we should forget the fire. Lately, it's been bothering me," Mona said. Lance hadn't moved. Mona didn't notice that he was in shock. Throughout the whole event he made no noise.
"Lance? Lance? James!?" Mona started to panic. She got out of her seat and grabbed Lance. She thought for a second, then decided to hit him.
"Sorry, hun."
-SLAP-
"Oww! The food can't be that bad!" Lance said in shock.
"No, Lance. You were on fire and clocked out. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. You mean I did it again?"
"Yes."
For as long as Mona had known Lance, he had always had problems with fire. When he looked at it for too long he would zone out. If he got close, not even two feet, it was like the fire jumped to him and he would end up with fire on him. But on those occations he never clocked out.
"I'm so sorry, Winter. I wanted our anniversery to be perfect, and now I've ruined it."
"No, you didn't! All you did was make it more exciting."
JC pulled his car up by the beach about 15 minutes later. He got out then opened the door for Leia. They held hands and walked to a clearing.
A blanket was laid out in the sand with food on it and candles around it. Leia smiled when she heard music beginning to play.
"This is beautiful."
"I knew you'd like it." He lead her to the blanket and they sat down.
Leia lay against JC, one of his arms wrapped around her waist. They ate the food slowly feeding bits and pieces to each other as the sun set.
Once the food had been cleared, JC suggested they go swimming. Leia agreed and they split up to change.
Leia reached the changing "room" and changed quickly. She walked back out in her bright blue tankeni heading back to the main part of the beach.
JC stood by the shore watching the waves. Leia walked up beside him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Yep." They waded out to the shore and Leia jumped back at the cold.
JC walked back, grabbed her hand and pulled her in. She lost her footing and slipped under the water.
JC laughed, but stopped when he didn't see her come back up. "Leia? Leia!"
Arms wrapped themselves around his legs and tripped him, making him fall under. He stood quickly and found Leia laughing hysterically next to him.
"Ha, ha," he said. He kissed her forehead. "I was afraid you had hit your head or something."
"Aww. I'm fine. I don't go down without a fight."
"Lance can we have desert now?" Mona asked as she finished her drink. Lance had changed into a shirt that he had left in Mona's house sometime before. It was a jersy that he got when he and the guys tryed to start a band. It had his nickname Scoop and his #4 on the back. He loved that shirt but not as much as he loved Mona. he got up from his seat and walked over to her. Then softly kissed her on the lips.
"Hmm...," in his low, sexy voice, said, "sure." Then he kissed her more until she stopped him.
"That was good, but we can save that desert for later. Right now my stomach is yurnning for your homemade strawberry swerl cheesecake," she said almost chocking on the word 'later'.
"Right," he said still in his low voice. "That would actually be better now that I think of it." He walked out of the room as if he was hiding something. Mona didn't take notice to it. She was yelling at herself in her head for stopping Lance. He came back not but a minute later. "Here you go, Winter." Lance placed a slice of the cheesecake down and handed her a fork.
"Thank you, sweet." Mona took the fork and attacked the cake. But the first bite never make it to her mouth. She stopped to study the piece on her fork. For a second she was lost, then surprised, and excitment shinned from her face.
Surrounded by cheesecake sat an engagement ring. The diamond was the size of a rock and the ring's band was a beautiful silver.
