“So, how do you think AJ and Kam’s date went?”, Haley asked jumping into Brian’s lap. “I don’t know. Why don’t you call her and ask?”, Brian said putting down his magazine he was reading. “Do you think it’s too late to call?”, Haley asked him. “I doubt it. If I know AJ, he probably just dropped her off like 15 minutes ago. So she is still up. She is probably waiting for your call.”, he said rubbing Haley’s back. “Okay.” Brian reached for the phone and handed it to her. “Thank you babe.”, she said kissing him. It rang twice before Kameron answered. “Hello!?!”, Kameron answered excited. “How did it go?!?”, Haley screeched. “Oh my gosh girl!! It was such a great evening. First, we went to dinner, then he took me to the beach and we just sat there and talked for a long time. He is such a great guy!! Then instead of just doing it, he asked me if he could kiss me.”, Kameron gushed. “I’m assuming you said yes.”, Haley said sarcastically. It reminded her of when Brian asked if he could kiss her for the first time. “Ofcourse I said yes! What are you stupid?!?”, Kameron joked. “I’m glad you had a good time. I think everything will work out great for you two.”, Haley told Kameron. Haley was still sitting in Brian’s lap and Brian began to kiss her neck. “Uh...Kameron, I’m gonna go. I’ll let you go to bed.”, Haley said looking at Brian. “Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow.” “Bye.” Haley hung up the phone and focused her attention on Brian. She began to kiss him. He was still kissing her. His hands began to roam over her back. She had her hands rubbing his neck. “Brian?”, she whispered almost out of breath. “Huh?”, he said also out of breath. “Take me to the bedroom.”, she whispered. He jerked his head up and looked at her. “Are you sure?”, he asked shocked. “I’ve never been so sure about anything in my life.” He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. The couple made love for the first time.

*1 Month Later*

AJ and Kameron were still dating. As a matter of fact they were going steady. Brian and Haley had grown even closer. If that was possible. The guys were about to go on a 2 week tour. It was the last part of the tour. Then they would have close to 6 months off. “AJ you have to come ring shopping with me.”, Brian announced from the couch. The girls were in the back bedroom talking. AJ and Brian were in the living room sitting on the couch. “What do you mean ring shopping? What kind of ring shopping?”, AJ asked getting a little excited. “Engagement ring shopping stupid.”, Brian whispered. He didn’t want the girls to hear. “You are going to ask Haley to marry you?”, AJ asked kind of astonished. “Yes. I know you have good taste in jewelry. So I would like to have your opinion on a ring.”, Brian said. “Okay. Do you wanna go now?” “What are we going to tell the girls?” “I don’t know. We can tell them we are gonna go do some work at the studio.” “Okay that’ll work.” They went and told the girls and left. AJ suggested a jewelry store downtown and they went to it.

“How about that one Rok?”, AJ pointed. “That’s nice. I think Haley would like that one.”, Brian said motioning for the jeweler to take the ring out. It had a silver band with a single solitaire diamond. It was very elegant. “That’s a beautiful ring. It kind of fits Haley’s personality somehow.”, AJ said looking at it. “I think this is the one.”, Brian said looking up at AJ. “Buy it!” “Okay okay!!” He handed it back to the jeweler and he put it in the box. Brian filled out a paper with his information on it and paid for the ring. The jeweler handed it to him and Brian stuffed it the pocket of his jacket. “When are you planning to ask her to marry you?”,. AJ asked when they were back in the car. “I was thinking maybe tonight. I am going to cook us dinner at the apartment and then I am going to spring it on her. I just hope she says yes. B-Rok, you don’t have anything to worry about. She loves you. She’ll say yes.” “Thanks AJ. That made me feel better.”

*Later That Night*

“What is the special occasion?”, Haley asked coming up behind Brian. He was at the stove taking out the lasagna out of the oven. “I just wanted to do something special for you.” “You are a sweet guy. Thank you.” “Your welcome. Now go sit down. Let’s eat.” Brian fixed 2 plates and carried them out to the dining table. He went back into the kitchen and poured 2 glasses of wine. He checked his pocket to make sure the ring was still there and went back into the dining room. “You know what Brian?”, Haley said taking a bite out of her food. “What?” “This is what we ate on our first date.” “I didn’t think you would remember! That’s why I fixed this.”, Brian said smiling. “Ofcourse I remember! That was the most romantic night of my life. I would never forget anything about it.” They finished eating and Brian and Haley cleaned up the dishes and went into the living room.

Haley sat down on the couch and Brian sat down beside her. “Haley, you know I love you right?” “Yes Brian. I love you too.”, she said confused at where this conversation was going. Brian got off the couch and bent down on one knee in front of her. Haley’s mouth dropped open. “Haley, I love you so much. I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else. Will you please be my wife?”, Brian asked so sweetly. Haley was crying. She looked at him and smiled. “Yes. I will be proud to be your wife Brian Littrell.” Brian took the ring out of the box and slipped it on Haley’s finger. He got back on the couch and enveloped Haley in a huge hug. “I love you so much.”, she whispered still crying. “I love you too. I am the happiest man in the world!”, he yelled.
