Chapter 12

Justin slowly walked down the stairs to find JC was
the first one awake, watching TV. JC looked over and
saw Justin coming down the stairs.

"Morning Justin." JC said happily.
"Yikes, this is scary. You're the first one awake,
and you're actually, oh my goodness, dare I say the
word? HAPPY?" Justin cried sarcastically, with a smile
stretched across his face.

"Justin, I couldn't begin to tell you how happy I am
right now. I don't ever remember feeling this way."
JC sighed.

"Well, can I talk to you about something?" Justin
questioned, as he took a seat next to JC.

"Sure man, what's up?" JC said, as he turned off the
TV.

"Well, seeing you yesterday with Melissa, made me
realize how long I've been in love with Stefanie also.
And I know she feels the same way, cause I've talked
to Melissa about it." Justin paused.

"What are you saying J?" JC questioned.

"I wanna know your opinion. How do you think she will
react?"

"How she will react to what?" JC asked, confused.

"How she will react when I ask her to marry me."
Justin said quietly.

"You want my honest opinion?" JC asked smiling.

"Yeah, honest would be best Josh." Justin laughed
slightly.

"I think she'll pass out cold." JC stated laughing.

"So are you saying that's a good or bad thing? Justin
said, acting confused.

JC pulled a pillow out from behind him and smacked
Justin upside his head.

"Ouch!" Justin cried, "I didn't deserve that you
know!"

"Sure you did. Anyways, when do you plan on asking
her?" JC asked.

"Well, I wanted to ask her tonight. But I need to
find her the perfect ring. Would you mind helping
me?"

"No problem, we could go before the girls wake up.
And we'll leave a note just in case they wake up
before we get back." JC answered, standing up.
He walked over to the table and scribbled a note for
the girls, before darting out the door with Justin.

Melissa bounced down the stairs drying her hair with a
towel on the way.
She had expected to find someone downstairs, but no
one was around.

"Hmmm, where is everyone?" Melissa said outloud to
herself, as she spotted the note on the refrigerator.

As soon as she finished reading the note, JC and
Justin came through the front door.

"Hey baby." JC said as he wrapped his arms around
Melissa's waist, kissing her softly.

"And just where were you two at?" Melissa questioned
with a smirk on her face.

JC and Justin looked at each other, then back at
Melissa, "Shopping." The both said in unison.

"Shopping huh? Shopping for what?" Melissa asked, her
curiosity rising.

"Hmmm, wouldn't you like to know." Justin smirked as
he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

"Yeah I would like to know, and I know you wanna tell
me." Melissa said laughing.

"Not a chance. If I tell you, you'll run off and tell
Stef and ruin the surprise."

"Ohhhh, so it involves Stefanie huh?" Melissa said
slyly as she hopped up on the counter.

"Uh oh, you shouldn't have said that." JC said
laughing.

"Yeah, cause now you HAVE to tell me." Melissa
grinned.

"Nope, I'm not saying anything. You'll find out soon
enough. And JC, don't you tell her either. I know
how easily you give in to her." Justin replied with a
smirk on his face.

"Yeah JC, don't tell me." Melissa said, turning her
head towards JC with a sweet smile on her face.

"Oh now that's just cruel." JC groaned.

"JC! Man snap out of it! Don't give in! She's evil!"
Justin cried, smacking JC on the shoulder.

Melissa giggled and jumped off the counter, and
grabbed a bottle of water before planting herself on
the couch to watch TV.

The guys followed her, and sat on both sides of her.
Melissa looked at each one of them with a raised
eyebrow.

"Why do I suddenly get the feeling that ya'll want
something?" Melissa laughed.

"Cause we do want something." Justin smiled.

"NO WAY Justin! I'm sorry, I love you, but not like
that. JC would kill you THEN he would kill me."
Melissa said trying to keep a straight face.

"Not that you pervert!" Justin cried as he smacked her
on the leg.

Melissa collapsed into JC's lap laughing and gasping
for air.

"It wasn't THAT funny sweetie." JC smirked as he
stroked her hair.

"Oh yes it was, if you would've seen the look on his
face...."Melissa spat out before erruping into another
fit of giggles.

"Would you stop laughing long enough so I can tell you
what I need you to do?" Justin said.

Melissa took a deep breath and looked up at Justin,
"Okay Curly, what do ya want?"

"I need you to get Stef out of the house today, so I
can get things ready."

"Get things ready for what?" Melissa urged, hoping
they would let her in on what was going on.

Justin looked over at JC, as if to ask him if he
thought she should know. JC nodded his head, and
looked back down at Melissa, who still had her head in
his lap.

"Get things ready for when I ask her to marry me."
Justin replied smiling.

Chapter 13

Melissa, JC, and Justin sat at the table, trying to
plan out what was going to happen that night. Ideas
were tossed back and forth for about 30 minutes,
before they all decided on one.

Melissa stood up and gave JC a quick kiss before
running up the stairs to Stefanie's room.

Melissa quietly opened to the door to find Stef still
fast asleep. A sly grin crept across Melissa's face
as she walked towards the bed.

"STEFANIE WAKE YOUR ASS UP THIS INSTANT!" Melissa
yelled.

Stefanie sat upright, startled. And after catching
her breath, she darted an evil glare at Melissa, as
she smiled innocently and walked over to Stefanie's
closet. She picked out an outfit for her and threw it
at her.

"Go get in the shower, you look like hell." Melissa
laughed.

"Thanks, you're just so full of love this morning."
Stef mumbled sarcastically. "Are we going somewhere
with the guys are something?"

"Nope, today is a girl's day out. We haven't went
out, just the two of us in forever. I thought we
could go do some shopping, get our hair done, and our
nails, you know, that normal teenage thing. We can
re-live our teenage years." Melissa replied grinning.

"Melissa, you're 22, and I'm 21, we haven't been out
of our teenage years THAT long you know." Stef
grumbled, as she got out of bed.

"Well, then we're just gonna go out and have fun, just
the two of us. Hurry up and get ready, I'll be waiting
downstairs." Melissa replied as she walked out the
door.

Stef just shook her head at her best friend and
laughed. "That girl amazes me sometimes." She said to
herself, as she walked into the bathroom to take a
shower.

Melissa came down the stairs and met the guys in the
kitchen, giving them the thumbs up to let them know
that Stef had agreed to go with her.

"You're the best baby." JC said as he came up behind
her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Melissa smiled and leaned her head back against JC's
chest. "What time do you guys want us back here?" she
asked.

"Give us till about 5:00, we should have everything
done by then." Justin replied.

A few minutes later, Stefanie came bouncing down the
steps. "Ready to go?" she asked, as she grabbed her
purse.

"Yeah I'm ready." Melissa answered, as she turned
around and looked up at JC. "I'll see you later
tonight." She whispered as she placed a sweet kiss on
his lips.

"Mmmm, I'm gonna miss you." He said as he ran a hand
across her face.

"Oh for crying out loud Josh, we're gonna be gone for
a few hours, not days." Stef laughed.

"I know, but I'm still going to miss her." JC pouted
playfully.

"Ugh, I'll be waiting in the car Melissa." Stef said
as she rolled her eyes playfully. She walked over to
Justin and firmly placed her lips against his.
She pulled away and smiled at him before walking out
the door.

Melissa leaned up and quickly kissed JC again, "I
gotta go, we'll be back around 5:00." she said as JC
finally released her. She walked over to Justin and
gave him a hug, "Good luck little man." She teased
playfully, as she ruffled his hair. She turned to JC
and flashed him a smile as she walked out the door.

"Okay J, let's get to work." Justin said smiling,
wanting to make sure everything went perfectly.

Chapter 14

Melissa pulled into a fairly reasonable parking place
at the mall. They both got out and started walking
towards the entrance.

"Okay, so what do we want to do first?" Melissa
questioned.

"Well, let's go look in Abercrombie & Fitch. There's
this shirt that Justin wanted, and didn't you say that
there was one that JC wanted too?"

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that." Melissa
answered as they walked into the store.

Melissa watched as Stefanie browsed through the
shirts. "I just hope I can keep her occupied for a
few more hours. You guys better hurry up." She
thought to herself.

*Back+at+the+house*

"We need more candles over there." Justin pointed.

"MORE candles? Damn Justin, if we put out anymore,
you're gonna burn the house down!" JC laughed.

"Yeah you're probably right." Justin muttered as he
sprinkled more rose petals trailing from the door and
into the living room, he then continued to sprinkle
them in a path leading to the sliding glass doors that
lead out to the pool.

"Hey JC? Can you put some of those flowers into the
pool please?" Justin called back into the house.

"Sure man, just let me finish lighting all these
freakin candles of yours." JC laughed. As soon as he
was finished, he joined Justin out on the deck by the
pool and helped him put more flowers in the pool. By
the time they were done, a beautiful arrangement of
flowers were floating around the pool, as candles
cascaded a soft glow around the deck.

Justin looked around him and gave a satsified smile to
JC.

"Okay, I think everything is perfect." Justin smiled.

"Want me to call Melissa and give her the okay to
bring Stef back?" JC questioned.

"Yeah do that. I'm gonna run upstairs and get ready.
Do you know what you and Melissa are supposed to do?"

"Yeah, Melissa and I practiced before Stef woke up
this morning. Don't worry, it's gonna be perfect." JC
said as he gave Justin a reassuring smile.

"Okay, I'm gonna run upstairs and get ready, and you
call Melissa. Tell her to make sure to have Stef come
in the front door by herself, and have Melissa meet
you in the back." Justin said before running up the
stairs.

JC smiled as he grabbed the phone and quickly dialed
Melissa's cell phone number.

"Hello?" Her voice rang on the other end.
"Hey baby." JC said sweetly.
"Hey sweetie, is everything cool? Are you ready for us
to come back?" Melissa whispered so that Stefanie
wouldn't hear her.
"Yeah, everything's ready. But listen to me
carefully, I need you to do something okay?"
"Okay, what is it?"
"When you guys come back, make sure Stefanie comes
through the front door by herself. Give her some
excuse, like you left your stereo by the pool and
you're gonna go grab it. I'll be waiting back there
for you, and Justin's gonna be waiting in the house
for Stef. He'll eventually bring Stefanie out to the
back by the pool, and when it's time, we'll do our
part. Okay?"
"Got it, we'll be back in about 30 minutes okay?"
"Okay baby, I'll see you when you get back. I love
you."
"I love you too sweetie."
"Bye Mel."
"Later JC."

"Was that JC?" Stef asked.
"Yeah, he was wondering when we were coming home. Him
and Justin are getting restless without us." Melissa
laughed.
"Well, I'm ready...Are you?" Stef questioned.
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired, and I miss JC." Melissa
smiled.
"Oh good grief Mel." Stef stated laughing.
"What can I say? I'm in love!" Melissa cried.
"You're not the only one." Stef mumbled under her
breath.

*1+hour+later*

JC was peeking out the window, keeping an eye out for
Melissa and Stef. When he finally saw Melissa's car
pull up in the driveway, he ran out the backdoor,
yelling at Justin telling him that they were back.

"Why are all the lights out?" Stef questioned.
"Who knows with them two. They're probably watching a
movie or something. You know they like to have the
lights off." Melissa answered, trying to keep Stef's
suspicions down.
"You go ahead and go in, I'm gonna grab my stereo from
the backyard. I left it by the pool, okay?" Melissa
said, as she opened the gate to the backyard. She
caught a glimpse of JC waiting for her, and tried to
keep a smile off her face. It was hard cause JC
looked so beautiful dressed in his tux.
"Okay." Stef called back, as she walked up the
sidewalk.

Melissa ran to the backyard and snatched her dress
away from JC and quickly changed.
"Well hi to you too." JC laughed quietly.
Melissa quickly zipped up her dress and pulled JC
close to her as she firmly placed her lips on his.
She pulled away and smiled.
"Hi." She whispered.

Stefanie walked into the house and noticed there were
candles lit everywhere. But not enough to let her see
where she was going. She reached up and fumbled
around for the light switch.

"Where in the hell...." Stef mumbled. She stopped in
her tracks, when she heard a soft voice singing, that
was coming closer to her.

"Can this be true? Tell me can this be real. How can
I put into words what I feel. My life was complete, I
thought I was whole. Why do I feel like I'm losing
control? I never thought that love could feel like
this...when you changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be, that right here with me, there's an
angel....it's a miracle." Justin's voice sang softly,
as he reached Stefanie and wrapped his arms around her
waist.

Stef felt hot tears burning her eyes, as Justin
reached up and flipped the light switch. She gasped in
amazement at the sight around her. Justin was in a
tux, there were candles lit all across the room, and
there were white rose petals marking a trial towards
the patio door.

"Justin, what is this?" Stef whispered as she looked
up into his peircing blue eyes, with tears in her own
eyes.

"This is all for you." He whispered back, as he drew
her hand up to his lips and kissed it softly.

He kept her hand in his and intertwined his fingers
with her, as he began to lead her out towards the
pool, where JC and Melissa were waiting on them.

Stefanie smiled when she saw JC sitting in a chair, in
a tux, with Melissa in his lap, in a blue evening
gown. "Getting your stereo by the pool huh?" She
smiled as she raised an eyebrow. Melissa just smiled
back innocently as JC wrapped his arms around her
waist.

Justin turned towards Stefanie and looked deep into
her eyes, as he ran his hand softly against her cheek.
Melissa stood up and took JC's hands, as he stood up
beside her.

Stefanie looked up at Justin and smiled, when Melissa
started to sing the opening lyrics to "From This
Moment On" by Shania Twain and Bryan White, with JC
singing with her.

"From this moment, life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love
I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you
Can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you
I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

Your the reason I believe in love
And your the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

"Dance with me." Justin quietly whispered to Stefanie,
as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Stef layed
her head on Justin's shoulder, as they danced
together, with Melissa and JC still singing.

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you
I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment

I will love you (I will love you)
As long as I live
From this moment on"

As Melissa and JC sang the last note of the song,
Justin pulled away from Stefanie, and placed a light
kiss on her lips. He pulled away and smiled down at
her.

He took both of her hands in his, as he slowly dropped
down to one knee.
Stefanie gasped as a single tear rolled down her
cheek, as she looked down at Justin.

"Stefanie, you have no idea how much you mean to me
and how much I love you. I know that that love will
never end. I can't imagine spending one day without
you in my life. Without your sweet kisses, without
your loving smile, and without your love." He stopped
as he slid the ring on her finger. He looked up at
her and continued. "Will you marry me Stefanie?"

"Oh my god Justin." Stefanie whispered with tears in
her eyes, "Yes Justin." she again whispered. JC
pulled Melissa closer to him as he watched Justin and
Stef.

Justin stood up and pulled Stefanie close to him and
kissed her softly.
"I love you." he murmured softly.
"I love you too Justin." Stef choked out, still in
tears.

Melissa and JC ran over to the couple and hugged them
and congratulated them.

"Does this mean we're having a double wedding?" Stef
laughed as she hugged Melissa.

"You know what? That's not a bad idea at all." Melissa
smiled as she looked up at JC.
