"You've made that perfectly clear, little sister." Leaning forward, Cassie considered her sister and then glanced to where Jake and Kevin were talking...and readying their game of pool. "Can I ask you something, sis?" Absolutely."She considered her words carefully, not wanting Heather to jump to conclusions. "When you first met Jake, did you know he was the one?"Heather's eyes widened in surprise. "When we first met? Honestly, no. I mean, I didn't think anyone like him could be interested in. "Are you?" the words were out of my mouth before I knew I had said them."Yes," he blurted out.It took me a second to look into his eyes. He didn't look embarrassed or uncomfortable. He wore his heart on his sleeve. There was no pretense about him. No games. With Kevin Westcott, what you see is what you get.And right then, I wanted him more than anything.Only I couldn't bring myself to tell him that.Kevin took a deep breath. "Okay, Mel. Here are all my cards: I've been in love with you since. Kasey fell into none of the fore mentioned categories, she wanted to escape into the garden where to air was clean, the stars were lifting up the cloud free night and she was away from Sir Beddinfield who was making his way towards her for a second dance. She love dancing but not with Collin Beddinfield pressed so close to her and trying to trail his hand on he derrière. ‘Excuse me Miss Morgan, may I have this dance?’ a familiar voice asked over Kasey’s shoulder. ‘Yes, yes of course!’ she said. He held out his arms and she joined him on the bed."I love you Darius, as I never ever thought I could love anyone. Please don't ever doubt that. I know I disappoint you sometimes by showing concern..." Small transgressions which will disappear as you learn to take from life what you want. You are beautiful and intelligent and I enjoy your company." He looked deeply into her eyes."Could you be happy with me, Mioki... forever." I don't..."He smiled as he produced a small box. Her eyes flew open.
