"What's the plan?" Luca asks me.
"Well, now we go up to the rooftop, propose, then go get married." He looks at me like I have four heads.
"How do you know she will say yes?" He questions.
"Really? I wouldn't have dragged everyone out here if I didn't think that she would say yes." Luca huffs out his frustration as Kai chuckles beside me.
"So who's going to marry you?" Luca keeps throwing questions at me.
"Elvis or you." His eyes shoot up at us.
"We will go grab the marriage certificate, then everything will happen."
"When do you plan to get this damn licence?" Luca grumbles, already annoyed with this whole situation. He'll get over it.
"Right now, go keep the girls busy, and I'll be back," Kai says as he rushes out the door to the valet.
"You don't have to officiate if you don't want to, just thought you would prefer to do it instead of Elvis." He shrugs, then starts to walk towards the bar.
We pull up chairs, and he orders two whiskeys on the rocks.
"So I have to ask." I look up at him, waiting for him to continue, "Are you sure about all of this?"
I give him a small smile. "Yeah. I am. She is it for me." He nods. The bartender sets our drinks down, and we both grab our glasses and take a healthy gulp.
"I'm happy for you." He looks up at me, longing in his eyes.
"What's up, man?" He is like a brother to me. I know when something is wrong, just like I do with Kai.
"I am just happy to see you both in love. I will get there eventually," he chuckles and takes another drink.
"What about Mel?" I ask. I know something is there, but neither will admit it.
"What about her? She is annoying, bossy, and a brat ninety percent of the time?" He groans.
"So, it sounds to me like your soul mate." I laugh, take another sip.
"Yeah... No." He shakes his head.
We continue to have regular conversations, and then Kai comes running in. Huffing and puffing like he just ran a marathon.
"You sure you play hockey? You sound a little out of shape," Luca teases.
"How about you shut the fuck up!" Kai returns.
We all turn and look at the ladies sitting in a booth. Julia is talking about something; her hands are flying everywhere as she tells her story. When she feels our eyes on her, she turns and looks, smiling and waving us over.
"So, are these the big plans?" She asks me directly.
"No, love, it's not. Whenever you are ready, we can go." She looks to Mel, who nods at me and then grabs my hand.
We walk to the elevator, and I push the rooftop button, and then smile down at Julia. She smiles at me and then reaches for Kai's hand.
She notices the Manila envelope and raises a brow.
"You guys are hiding something, and I am not okay with it." She looks directly at Kai with daggers in her eyes, and all he did back was smile mischievously.
"Not much longer, little dove, just try to be patient with us." She rolls her eyes and looks forward, ignoring everyone in the elevator.
