Chapter 13

Tiffany giggled when she saw the expression on Jordan's face. "Baby, I'm just kidding. Of course, when I think of being married, I only want to be married to you."

"Good, you better," he said softly. "I want to be only married to you too."

"Did we just decided on our future together?" Tiffany asked looking up at him.

"Yeah. I think we did," he said.

Tiffany smiled softly. She could not wait until the day that she gets to marry Jordan.

It was mid-summer now and Joey had decided that he wasn't going to just wait around. If he wanted to marry Anabella he was going to have to ask her. So he waited until an evening when his family was going to get together with hers. The two families had decided to go to Florida to the beach.

It was a cool evening out as the families were going to a restaurant for dinner, Joey had the ring in his pocket.

He knew exactly what he was going to say too, and he only hoped that Anabella would realize that he meant what he was about to say to her.

As the families got settled at the table, Alice and Anabella were talking about something. Joey was watching Anabella. Joey's other siblings were gathered at the table as well with them. Once the waiter had taken their order and brought their drinks.

Joey stood up," I have something that I need to say," He began.

Heads turned towards him curiously and not expecting this. He put his hand in his pocket where the velvet box was. His eyes settled on Anabella who was seated across from him," Anabella could you stand up for a minute please?" he asked.

She frowned as she put her napkin down and looked at him as she rose to her feet, very unsure what he was doing.

"Anabella Shay. You've got to be the most amazing woman that I ever met in my life," Joey said softly," You are motivated. Giving. Loving. Loyal. Sensitive. Very pretty." He slowly pulled the box out of his pocket and opened it as he held it out towards her," I would be honored to be your husband. The man, you could turn to, to meet your needs. To take care of you, provide for you. Will you marry me?"


Anabella felt like running away from the table, how could he do this! Especially now! With their families all waiting expectantly she was basically forced to say yes. Everyone was looking at them.

"Yes,' Anabella said quietly and quickly.

Joey looked surprised," You will?" he asked.

"Yes. I said Yes,' she replied. She felt like hollering No No NO! Joey took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her hand.

Anabella did not know what she was going to do now. She felt like now she had to go through with this wedding. She sank back down into her seat and put her napkin on her lap as Joey took his seat again.

Anabella's mother and Katherine were both thrilled by the fact that Anabella had said yes to Joey.

After dinner Anabella had disappeared, she had gone to the beach that was near where they were staying. She was sitting on the sand with her knees drawn up to her chest and tears streaming down her cheeks.

Joey had been searching for her everywhere and found her, he sighed when he saw that she had been crying," You confuse me," he whispered.

"You had NO right to do that!" she hissed as she tried to wipe away her tears.

"I had no right to explain my reasons to you? to want to take care of you because I already care for you?" Joey asked," I'm sorry...but that's basically what a lot of women want. Security. A good husband, a man who will make a good father. Someone they can trust."
