There..."Megan let out a little "oomf!" as she walked into Casey. She straightened, andboth girls laughed."Are you okay?" Casey asked, rubbing her arm... as if trying to warm her."Yeah," Megan replied. "I bumped my toe a few times, but, I'll be okay. You saidyou needed help with something?" Mm-hm." In the dark, Megan could just make out Casey's head bobbing up anddown. "Well, remember how I said that you were in the final round for the team?" Yeah..." The blonde struggled to keep her tone steady.. She'd been telling them what we'd been doing. But then Ithought, they're our best friends and Brad wears feminine lingerie so theywill understand and not humiliate me as I slowly turned the door knob tolet them in.As they entered I tried to smile in greeting but my face felt rigid withnervous concern.They both looked at me and Rhonda was the first to speak after she leanedover and kissed me on the cheek."Tobi, you look gorgeous. I almost didn't recognize you. If Kelly hadn'ttold me earlier how. Just the men and me and Aisha. This was her special surprise. I was going to make her very happy. I knew her so well. We all went out to dinner, then we went to a hotel room I had rented especially for the occasion. The men had no idea what was going to happen. I was getting odd looks from all of them as we went up in the elevator with Aisha dressed in her sundress and sandals. It was summer. First, I had all the men sit down where ever they felt comfortable. Then I ordered Aisha to take off. He pushed the ring on her finger and she looked at it. It wasn’t her ring, this was a mix of diamonds and sapphires, all in the shade of her eyes.“Is this real, Daniel, are you asking me for real?” She barely got the words out.“Yes, Catherine, I have only ever loved you, and you will understand why soon.”“Then I say yes again, for real.” She kissed him deeply. And pulled him up to sit next to her, slipping her hand into his. They watched the ferries, as she had with him so many times as a young.
