#HOLD ON#

ALEX'S POV

I am beyond enthusiastic for tonight. I had a giddy feeling in my stomach that of a school girl when she gets chosen as prom Queen but the feeling is mutual.

A hummed a song as I shimmer myself into a black mid-thigh dress that had netted shoulders and sleeves paired with my new pair of grey All-stars high top.

Elaine was dressed into a skin tight, off the shoulder dress outlining her slender frame matched with light gold heels whereas princess (Harley) was dressed in halter strapped top and skirt pieced dress appearing sexy and both their dresses were the same length as mine.

"Is it just me or do my thighs look that of cows?" I ask nonchalantly as Elaine shakes her head furiously.

"They look sexy as ever babe! You can always ask for Mythias' opinion"

"It's a little chubby but still cute! You have to have some to hold em' babies!"

"Babies?" Elaine asked excitedly.

"This beauty is having twins! See that slight bump already appearing." Princess adds on.

"Is it evident?" I asked holding my tummy but they both shake their heads timidly.

"Relax the boys won't notice!" Princess reassures.

"Especially Mythias since his eyes would be here..." Elaine's says while tracing her fingers up and down my thighs playfully.

"Eyes here gorgeous" Buttercup's voice breaks our conversation as we make it to the main door and instantly Elaine blushes pink!

Princess and I gush at their cuteness just as the rest of the men appear ending their conversation when I clap my hands together gaining their undivided attention.

"Everyone hand over your keys this instant!" I quickly round their keys of their cars and have them all follow me to the garage with quizzical expressions.

The garage opens as slow as ever and once it does the lights remain off as I had instructed. I press a button and only one spotlight illuminates the middle of the garage... more like warehouse compared to its size!

Everyone invites themselves in as I clear my throat. I walk to the desk and pull out the case with the new keys to each car and pick out the first one. A chuckle escapes my lips as an up beat rap music fills the speakers that were installed in the garage. So much for making this memorable!

I throw the first set of keys to Lester and as soon as he catches it a spotlight illuminates the glossy black 1969 Pontiac GTO. He holds his fist to his mouth as he runs over to it touching it's surface.

"How did you know? It was Crate wasn't it? My birthday is in a week but hell yeah!" Crate shakes his head as Lester gives me a tight hug in appreciation.

"Your welcome Lobster!" I yell after him as he starts up his engine in excitement, then he gets out and both him and Jake gasp at the next car that has stolen their attention.

"Please tell me this baby is mine..." Jake says with eyes as wide as saucers!

"If you mean by and may I quote ' I want a dark blue 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle.'" We both chuckle at the memory when we were conversing about the best '69 model cars.

At this he gives me hug while twirling me around in happiness.

"This honestly feels like Christmas!"

"And now we have one for Princess...A 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby!" I exclaim as she screams and lunges towards me with a suffocating hug which was broken by Elaine jumping in excitement with her. (PRINCESS' CAR AS BELOW)

"Please tell me I get one tooo!" Elaine jumps even higher if possible once her car takes up the lime light.

"Of course Cloudy! I have prepared a Mustang GT with a psychedelic wrap with hues of silver, blue, pink, purple and giving the effect of all the colours in between..." I will call her cloudy now, I mean her eyes are just a beautiful pool of grey, such a babe!

"I love it! Thank you, thank you so much!"

"Come on, hurry up now, where is mine Chipmunk?" Buttercup asks while crossing his arms and raising his brows.

I let out a sigh and his car gets illuminated by the bright spot light or was it the colour of the car that gave it that illusion. Definitely the colour of the car I would say.

"And here we have ladies and gentlemen...for our dear Buttercup A Mc Laren p1 in a beautiful shade of Yellow..."

"Just like butter..." He trails off while tracing his fingers on the bonnet and then he swivels around capturing me in a hug while also giving me a peck on the cheeks.

"Now, Now, I can't take all the credit guys but Crate in fact helped me out or the other way around" I say cheekily as Crate nears me and side hugs me.

"Call it team work!" As he says that, the girls run to him giving him a hug saying appreciative words but then he pushes them both out of his way when another car shines under the glow of the light.

"No fuckin' way! This can't be..." Crate trails off while running both his hands through his messy hair in pure shock.

"Yes fuckin' way! A 1969 RTR X Ford Mustang from yours truly but of course taught by the best" I say while pointing to him referring to being the best. It was black with the edges and rims highlighted with green, a lime green!

He quickly gives me a bear hug whispering a 'thank you' followed by 'Jelly Belly'.

Before I could get back at him Mythias clears his throat impatiently as I walk past him and so does everyone else, wanting to see the last beauty waiting to be revealed.

We moved to the end of the warehouse where once a damaged white Dodge stood at first. Now replaced by a matt black Dodge SRT Demon! The rims of this baby were highlighted red and for this car the engine was running so you could see it's red eyes (meaning headlights).

Before he replies Buttercup breaks everyone's excitement of their new gifts and pulls me to him.

"You're coming with me L." I smile at his new nickname for me and follow him suit although I would've like a better reaction from Mythias. I look back for a second only to sense the ghost of a smile on his lips.

Buttercup sped through the highway like crazy followed by the rest of the customized cars all aligned perfectly in synch. It was a moment to relive in the foreseeable future perhaps.

And then Buttercup takes a few other roads that lead us in front of an expensive jewellery shop. The lights were on and as we exited the car a woman in her late 50's appears with a tight-lipped smile and hands placed on her small hips.

"I'm sorry for holding you up Mrs. Smiths, Alex over here decided to give a generous amount of gifts which-"

Mrs. Smith hold up her hand and smiles while shaking her head.

"Follow me now, before it gets even later" Buttercup remains quiet as we both follows her to the counter where wedding rings lay all shining in glamour.

I wouldn't want to know the price of these. Just looking at these made me want to leave the shop but it was as if all senses came back to me... and it clicked.

"You're proposing to Elaine!" I squeal and smack his head upside.

"Yes...?"

"Why do I hear the uncertainty? Earn it, be proud! But this is how you tell your best girl friend?"

"Yeah. It took me a while but I realised woman like Elaine only come once and If I let her go...forget that I can't imagine another day without her in my life-" I cut him off by giving him a bear hug.

"Save the beautiful speech for your wedding vows or else I'm going to tear up now" Ugh... these hormones! I'm going crazy.

"And the reason I got you here is that you have to help me-"

"I know dummy. All you need to know is that she hates gold just like me. And don't give her a ring with a chunk of a coloured gem in the middle, she is elegant and simple much to how I would prefer it actually-"

"Great to know, now I just have to tell that to Mythias and you two-"

"How about this?" I quickly point at one and Mrs. Smiths pulls it out inspecting it while nodding in approval. (RING ON THE LEFT CHOSEN BY ALEX AND ON THE RIGHT BY BUTTERCUP).

It was a rose gold ring with little round studs leading towards the middle and a bigger diamond on the top but with fancy cut diamonds going symmetrical. It was really pretty.

"This one?" Buttercup ask as he scratches his neck thinking. It was similar to what I pointed out but a but too simple and a huge stone in the middle.

"Nope."

"This is going to take forever. How many do we have to go through?" Buttercup asks exasperated.

"...until we find the best one!" I respond cheerily. I ask Mrs. smiths to pull out another one but she refuses and goes to another cupboard behind her desk and pulls out a black box. Elegant.

She opens it up while taking caution revealing to us the ring that would soon be Elaine's; I'm positive she would accept.

"It's perfect" Both Buttercup and I say in unison smiling victoriously at each other as he pulls out the big bucks and I head back to the beauty standing outside for us.
