| �It�s a wonderful song Alex.� �I thought about loving a girl, and losing her, and I think if I lost you, it would be the hardest thing for me to do. You have no idea how much I love you Megan.� Megan looked deep in his eyes and smiled. �I have a vague idea.� �I can�t picture anyone else taking your place. You complete me. You�re my better half. You my dear friend, my lover, my sweetheart. You�re my everything. I wake up in the mornings and you�re the first thing I draw to mind. I know without you in my life, I don�t have a chance of surviving. You are the support I need to get through everything. So, before any man happens to walk into your life,� he said, smiling a little,� would you do me the honor of being the only Mrs. Alex McLean. I don�t want anyone else but you Megan.� He fell down to one knee and held the box open in front of her. �Oh my God Alex.� She smiled at him, and wiped the tears away from her eyes. �In a time like this, I guess the only answer I have is YES!� AJ slipped the ring on her finger and picked her up in his arms. �God babygirl, I so love you.� �Not nearly as much as I love you Alex.� He spun her around and kissed her. �Do you know that you just made me the happiest man alive tonight?� �Other than D you mean?� �Well, man, probably. I love you Megan.� She stared in his eyes, getting lost and drifting away. She knew she would never find another man like him. He was her everything. �I love you too Alex.� He bent his head down and kissed her. Nothing to passionate but a kiss that held all the love he could muster in it. He pulled away and they walked back to the fire with all the other guys. �So, I see finally!� Brian said, laughing. �Yeah, well things take time,� AJ said, smiling down at Megan. �That they do. Have Resa and D come back yet?� �Nope, they left and haven�t returned,� Kevin said. Megan glanced up at AJ, just a tad worried. �Don�t worry baby, I�m sure they�re fine.� I glanced over at Howie, noticing he was deep in thought. �Howie, what�s up?� I asked, feeling like a complete stranger to him. �Nothing, just thinkin�,� he said. He sighed and sat down on the ground, looking across the ocean. �I�m sure if you keep starin� that you�ll see some land sometime soon,� I said, knelling down beside him. �What�s going on Howie? I feel like a stranger. You know you can tell me whatever is wrong. If you think we�re moving to fast, I would understand if you want to slow things down�� �Would you marry me?� �Or if you found someone else to love, I would deal with that�� �Would you, Resa, marry me?� �But, just don�t treat me as if I�m nothing�what did you say?� He smiled at me and drew me in his arms. �No Theresa, I couldn�t love anyone else but you, and I don�t want anyone but you and I think if I asked you to marry me, than you don�t have to worry about things moving to fast.� I stared at him, complete shock written all over my face. �Well?� he asked, smiling again. �Well what?� �What do you think?� �I�m supposed to think?� He leaned down and kissed me, love and passion behind it. �No, you don�t, a simple yes or no would be nice.� �Oh God Howie, you don�t know how long I waited to hear those words. I love you!� �I love you too, yet that doesn�t answer my question.� �Was there ever a doubt in your mind that I wouldn�t say yes?� �Never.� He leaned down and kissed me and quickly slipped the ring on my finger. I pulled back and nearly gasped. �God baby, this..woah..wow.� �Why is that you pick the worse time to be a loss for words?� �Cause I�m shocked. D, baby, it�s beautiful.� �I had to find something to match the shine in your eyes when you smile.� �I love you Howie.� �I love you too Theresa.� He helped me up and kissed me one last time. �Let�s go met the other guys,� he said, taking my hand and leading me to the group. I stormed into my office and sat down. I glared at the man in the picture on my desk. �Oh, he�s going to pay for that one,� I muttered to myself. It�s been three months since Howie and AJ proposed and Megan and I were already planning our marriages. She wanted the Spring and I wanted the summer, such as the months of like August or October. She wanted March. I sighed and leaned back in my chair. I turned around to look outside. �Resa?� �Yeah Megan?� �Um, AJ�s on the phone. He wanted to know if I could have lunch with him.� �Tell him I don�t give a fuck. And he better not talk to me for a very very long time.� �Resa?� �He fucked me over! That son of a bitch!� Megan took a step back and looked at me. �What happened?� �Oh, If You Knew What I Knew. It went on the latest album, right? And I looked up to see who wrote it. AJ McLean. That little fucker didn�t give me credit!� �Oh, I�m sorry Theresa. I�ll talk to him�� �Don�t. Enjoy lunch.� �But�� �No, really, go enjoy lunch.� �What are you doing for lunch?� I glanced up at her, a smile on my face. �Nothing. I have a few articles left to type up. I�ve been to busy planning on my wedding that I haven�t even really worked on them. So, I�ll be spending that time here. Sides, Howie is out with this family right now.� |
