*Tre POV*
I hear banging on the door and I ignore it until I hear Autumns voice. I walk over and unlock the door and she comes in.
"Girl what are you doing?" she asks me.
"Cooling off" I tell her.
I go and sit down on the chair that was in there.
"Come on Tre just come out and talk to AJ, I know you'll make up"
She says to me and I just look at her.
"What if I don't want to?"
I ask her and she rolls her eyes "You know you can't stay mad at him, you never have been able to. so come on out and let the poor people out there waiting get in here"
I sit there for a few more minutes listening to the banging on the door and sigh
"Ok, fine I'll go out there but that doesn't mean I've forgiven him" I tell her.
"Yes I know Tre. Sometimes you are too stubborn" She tells me as we walk out.
"Yea I know" I say to her and she laughs.
I see AJ and Fred talking over by where we had been sitting and we head that way. We walk up and Aj turns around and sees me and has a look of relief on his face
"Tre! where were you? I was worried sick when I couldn't find you"
I give him a hug
"Sorry, I had to go cool off" I tell him and sit down.
He sits down next to me and takes my hand
"Please don't be mad baby."
I look at him and he is soo sweet to me and kind that is really is hard for me to be mad.
"Ok, AJ I'll do my best but I am still upset you won't tell me what's going on" I tell him and he looks at Fred and Autumn.
"Ok Tre, why don't we go outside where we were earlier tonight and talk, ok?" He asks me and holds out his hand
"Ok, sounds good"
I take his hand and we head outside
We walk outside towards where we had been earlier that night. I am trying to stay mad at him but it has always been hard for me. Just something about the way he looks at me that gets me everytime. We get to the spot and there is a blanket laid out and AJ leads me to it
"Please sit down, Tre"
I do as he asks me totally confused about the whole thing. He walks away and comes back a few minutes later carrying something. When he gets close enough I see that what he is carrying are candles. He sits them down and lights them all around the blanket and then a radio appears from behind the tree and he turns on some slow romantic music. I just sit and look at him amazed, I can't believe he did all this.
"Alex, what is going on? Is this what you were up to?"
I ask him when he comes over to me and pulls me in close to him.
"Yes it is"
He tells me and kisses me.
*Autumn POV*
Fred and I are standing by the window in the kitchen watch Tre and AJ.
"Well, so far so good," Fred says.
I nod. I turn around with a smile on my face.
"Tre is so going to freak when AJ ask her to marry him," I say.
Once again, I start to get jealous of Tre and AJ but I would never say that to them.
"Autumn, you okay? You look like you are going to throw up any second," Fred says.
I can tell Fred is concerned and I start to tell him, but I look back out the window, not wanting to miss the look that will be on Tre's face. As I stand there, Fred comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me and we both stand watching AJ and Tre.
*Tre POV*
AJ pulls away from me after the kiss and smiles at me.
'what is he up to'
I think to myself as I watch AJ move over to the edge of the blanket to get something. I try to look over his shoulder but he is hiding it well. He comes back over to me and takes my hand
"Tre, we've been together a long time now and have been through a lot together. You've always been there for me no matter what it was, even if it meant putting your life on hold. You mean everything to me and I know sometimes it doesn't seem like it but I am grateful for everything you've given me. I have decided I don't want to live my life without you in it, I need you here besides me for the rest of my life. So what I am asking you is Will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive?"
He finishes and I heard what he said but I am stunned and find it hard to speak
*Autumn POV*
As I stand there with Fred's arms wrapped around me, I see AJ get the ring. Now more than ever I am jealous and happy for them. I try my damnest to hold the tears back, but it doesn't work. I take off running to the bathroom to weep.
*Fred POV*
I am standing holding on to Autumn when she suddenly bolts from my arms and out of the room. I am about to go after her, but get lost in my own thoughts.
True I haven't known her that long but she is a sweet, beautiful girl and I know I don't want her to get on the f*cking plane Friday and go back to Florida. I look back out the window and devise a plan to keep Autumn with me.
I just wish I sure in the hell knew what was wrong with her and why she ran off.
*Tre POV*
AJ opens the box with the ring and I look down and my mouth falls open, it's a beautiful ring, a solitare Ruby surrounded by diamonds. I look up at AJ and I can see the anticipation in his eyes while he is waiting for my answer. I smile at him
"Yes, Alex I would be honored to become your wife. I don't want to ever think of my life without you in it"
I tell him and he gets a smile on his face and slips the ring onto my finger. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around me and we kiss.
"I love you Tre"
He says to me after we break the kiss. I look into his gorgeous brown eyes and a shiver runs through my entire body
'boy he can still make me melt by just looking into his eyes' I think to myself
"I love you too, Alex"
He gathers me into his arms and we lay down looking up at the stars just holding each other thinking about our future as man and wife
*Fred POV*
I see AJ slip the ring on Tre's finger and smile and think
'great f*cking job McLean'.
I notice that some people are starting head out and I think it's about damn time.
I begin to look for Autumn and even ask people if they had seen her. I am just hoping she didn't leave. I make my way upstairs and go looking room to room for Autumn. When I look in my room, I see her sitting on the bed crying. To see Autumn sitting there crying was something I didn't want to see. I walk in.
"Well, she accepted." Autumn dries her eyes, as if she didn't want me to see her. "Autumn, tell me what's wrong."
She sighs and tells me she is okay but I know she is lying.
"Autumn, come on please tell me what's wrong."
*Tre POV*
We realize we have been laying watching the stars for a while when we notice people leaving the party
"I guess we better go on back inside, huh Tre?"
I snuggle closer to AJ, not really wanting to lose the moment but I know I have to get in and tell Autumn what happened
"Yea I guess we should" I say sitting up.
We turn off the radio and blow out the candles. We gather everything up and walk into Freds place
"It sure seems to of cleared out while we were in there" I tell AJ and he shakes his head.
We put the stuff on a nearby couch and I look around for Autumn.
"AJ I don't see Autumn, do you?" I ask him.
He looks around and shakes his head no
"I don't see Fred around either. They are probably off talking or something babe, lets just sit here and wait a while"
I look around again but still see no sign of her and walk back to where AJ is now sitting down.
"Well I sure hope she reappears soon, I'm tired."
I say to him and put my head on his shoulder. He puts his arm around me and starts playing with my hair
"Yea getting engaged is tiring" He says jokingly
"Man it sure is"
I tell him and he laughs at me. I close my eyes and wonder where Autumn is, hoping she is all right
*Autumn POV*
I am sitting on Fred's bed and let out a sigh.
"Autumn, please talk to me. I don't like seeing you upset."
I close my eyes and lay back.
"Fred, if I tell you any of this stuff, you can't tell Tre, AJ, or anybody else."
He says he won't and I go on and tell him how I'm jealous of Tre because she has a great, loving guy and how when I return to Florida I am returning to a empty life of sorts. Fred soon lies down on his side so he can look at me.
"Frankly, I don't want to go back," I say. "I would give anything like Tre to have a loving caring guy by my side."
I finish and look at Fred.
"Autumn, who says you have to move back? I was thinking earlier."
I raise up and look at Fred.
"Really? What were you thinking about?"
"About how, even though I haven't known you long, I feel connected with you and how I want you to stay with me."
I lie back shocked at what he just said. I sit up and ask Fred if he is BSing me. He laughs and says no. He touches my face and says,
"Autumn, I love you and want you to stay here with me. If you say no, well I guess I'll just have to move my ass back to Florida and live with you."
I laugh. "Fred, I love you too and I would love to live here with you."
Fred grins that oh so sexy grin and we kiss.
"Now, we better get downstairs before AJ and Tre run off and leave you here. Not like that would be a bad thing."
Fred takes my hand and we head downstairs together.
*Tre POV*
I must of fallen asleep because the next thing I know AJ is shaking me
"Wake up baby here come Fred and Autumn"
I open my eyes and sit up and stretch and look over to them and they are holding hands and smiling
'hmmm they are up to something' I am thinking when they get over to us. "Hey you two, where ya been?"
I ask them and they look at each other
"Upstairs talking" Autumn tells me.
"Oh so is that what it is being called now a days?"
Aj asks and we start laughing. Autumn looks down and I can tell by the look on her face she noticed my ring
"Uhh Tre, is there something you need to tell me?" She asks me.
I look at her and then grab AJ's hand and smile
"Yea Autumn there is. Alex asked me to marry him tonight and I accepted"
I tell her and she smiles and gives me a hug
"OH Tre I am sooo happy for you, congrats" She says and then hugs Aj "It's about time"
She tells him and he laughs.
"Yea well, what can I say" He tells her squeezing my hand.
"Look Autumn, I'm really tired and we want to take off. You don't have to come with us, I understand if you don't but I gotta get some sleep" I tell her
*Autumn POV*
I laugh because she is always needing her sleep.
"Guys, if it's okay I think I'll stay here and help Fred clean up because, well I doubt he can do it all alone."
AJ looks at me and says it isn't a problem at all. Tre and AJ get up and head towards the door and I tell Fred that I'll be right back. I walk out with the two and as AJ goes to get the car, I talk to Tre.
"Tre, I think I should tell you now. I'm moving in with Fred."
Tre looks shocked but smiles.
"Autumn, I'm glad you two hit it off. I know how crazy you were for him."
I laugh.
AJ pulls up and Tre looks at me.
"So, are you coming back to Florida with us and sorting things out and then heading back?"
"Well," I say, "I might have Fred fly back with me so I can get my things but I know I am not coming back to the hotel tonight."
I hug Tre and once again say congrats and tell her I will see her later. I watch her get in the car and then watch as they drive off.
*Tre POV*
I get into the car and AJ pulls away
"Well Alex, Autumn is going to be moving in with Fred"
I tell him after we get out on the road.
"What? She's going to move in already?"
He asks me sounding as shocked as I was
"Yea I guess so. He may fly back to Florida with her so she can get her stuff and then she is moving back here."
"Wow, that was fast" He says to me.
"Yea it was but she deserves to be happy and if he makes her happy then more power to both of them"
I say to him and lean my head back and close my eyes
"Yea"
I hear AJ say as I drift off to sleep.
"Tre, baby wake up. We're back at the motel"
AJ says to me while shaking me. My eyes come open and I see that we are definatly back at the motel.
"Good, I'm exhausted."
I say as I get out of the car and head to the room. We get to the room and I go to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I walk out and Aj is already spread out on the bed asleep
'And everyone says I'm the one who's tired all the time'
I think as I take off his shoes and move him over so I can get into bed. I finally get that completed and lay down but find that now I can't fall asleep.
Autumn is on my mind and her moving in with Fred. I want her to be happy but I am worried she is rushing things.
'Well it is her choice, you can't stop her'
I think to myself as AJ sighs in his sleep and rolls over and plops his arm around me. I smile at him and move closer to him
'Nope I can't stop her but I sure can support her in her decision, and that is what I'm gonna do. But I sure will miss her living in Florida'
With that decided I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
*Autumn POV*
"That was the last beer bottle," I say throwing it in a garbage bag.
"Well I think that is everything. If we missed something, the hell with it 'til tomorrow."
I sit back on the couch and look over at Fred and see him yawning.
"You act tired," I say teasing.
"Well, chasing after you all night and helping you change can wear a guy out."
I laugh at that.
"Well, I am going upstairs to get a quick shower and then I will go to bed," Fred tells me.
"Well, I'll go on up to the room. I'll see ya in a bit."
I get to the room and leave on the shirt Fred let me wear for the night. I lie down and think about how AJ and Tre are finally getting married. I begin to hope the fans don't treat her too badly. I'm happy for her. Then I begin to wonder how she feels about me leaving Florida and moving in with Fred.
I am deep in thought when I hear the door open and watch Fred come over and lie down next to me. I begin to yawn myself.
Fred leans over me and kisses me goodnight and turns a lamp off that I had turned on. I lay in his arms and go to sleep within a few minutes.
*Tre POV*
I wake up the next morning to find that sometime during the night AJ managed to get undressed for bed and scatter his clothes all over the room
'typical'
I think to myself as I pick them up and place them in the bag we brought along for dirty laundry.
With that done I grab some shorts and a shirt and head into the bathroom to get ready for the day
'I wonder what we'll do today, since it's the last one we can spend here' I am thinking when I hear the bathroom door open
"Goodmorning Alex" I say over the running shower
"mornin" he mumbles.
"What are we going to do today?" I ask him.
I feel a cool breeze and then hear
"I don't know what do you want to do"
From behind me and I nearly jump out of my skin
"Damn baby why do you do that to me?"
I ask him and he laughs at me
"Because I like to watch you jump"
He says grabbing the shampoo out of my hand
"Hey now, I was going to use that" I say trying to take it back.
"I know but now I am"
I roll my eyes at him and turn around and try to take up as much of the stream of water coming from the shower head as possible. I hear him put shampoo in his hand and then feel him touch my hair and he starts to wash my hair for me
"Aww thank you baby"
"Your welcome. See I'm not totally a mean fiancee, now am I?"
He asks me and I have to smile, tho he can't see it since he is behind me
"Oh no, not a total mean fiancee."
I say and he pinches my butt
"OUCH!"
I yell and he starts laughing and then pushes my head under the water
