Not A Cinderella

Matt.

None of us have moved from the office just watching this entire show. I can't believe she would go up there and reveal herself after all these years of avoiding the paparazzi but I know April well and she did it because she had to, she wanted to.

"Peter this woman here is exceptional I couldn't let her get away. As I said it took some time as April was building up her business but I finally got her in my grasp and I'm always at my highest when around her. Not only is she gorgeous from her long brown hair to her feet she is intelligent, strong minded, caring, sweet, loving and I couldn't ask for a better person to spend my life with and this is why I am kneeling down in front of the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes asking her to marry me. April Rosetta maltri will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" "yes. Yes I will marry you"

My jaw dropped. he just fucking proposed to her on live television for everyone to see and she said yes.
"Holy fucking shit" "woohoo get him girl" "I was not expecting that" "fuck yes I am so happy for her" I couldn't help but grin and I couldn't get rid of it.
"Im fucking dumbfounded" everyone just sat there looking at the screen until they went to a break. "My girl is fucking engaged I'm so excited. Beers beers and more beers" i couldn't help but laugh at how excited Brit and Tommy were. Jumping around like idiots. "Christians let's go" I smirked "we getting blind?" "Damn straight we are" "best we put the cars in the park then catch a cab" "well chop chop I will call the cab" I laughed "calm down" "nope. Oh wait until christian finds out" "I'm out".
Putting all the cars behind the gates, when the cab rocked up we all jumped in.

"Hey guys" "beers beers and more beers christian line em up we are here to get blind for our girl" "there's a lot of excitement there. what have I missed?" "My girl is engaged" Brit was dancing around like an idiot but I can tell when she is over the moon "I'm so getting the spot of maid of honor" I chuckled "wait April is engaged?" "Yep he proposed on live television and I am ecstatic. Pity it wasn't in person but I still witnessed it" "well Fuck now I'm spewing I missed it" "call her and tell her to get down here and celebrate" "she is probably.." seeing the door open up I grinned shaking my head "no need. here they are" "my bitch is here" Brit ran over basically jumping on April making us all laugh "don't kill her" "oh shut it, I won't kill her, I haven't even been a maid of honor yet" Brenton chuckled as he move to the bar. "Congrats man" "thanks" "you didn't even warn us" "nope all part of the surprise" "drink This".

April.

Getting basically jumped on I couldn't help but laugh Brit basically dragged me to the bar and sat beside me away from the guys making me grin. "I'm guessing all you guys watched the show?" "Yes we did. How could we not but we never expected that" "nor did I but I am ecstatic" "come on give me a look" Brit grabbed my hand looking at the ring "oh that is.. that's gorgeous" "I agree and it's a family heirloom" "wow. You are one lucky bitch" I chuckled "I can see someone is very excited" "ahh yes my best friend just got engaged. No pink, no yellow and definitely no green" "what?.. oh" I cracked up laughing "talking about dresses already" "yep being maid of honor and all" "nah tommy will be" "bullshit" "I heard my name" "I was just telling Brit you will be my maid of honor" tommy smirked "I know I'd look hot in a dress but I'm going to have to turn that down" I chuckled "give me a hug" standing up, I gave tommy a hug "I'm so happy for you April" "thanks Tommy. Means a lot".

Dallas

Watching the entire show, I couldn't help but grin. not only did April speak but Evelyn and Brenton spoke very highly of her. What I didn't expect was for Brenton to get down on one knee and propose to her for real. My daughter, my baby is engaged to Brenton, a man that loves her, Will do everything for her as she will him. I was shocked but ecstatic.
Seeing my phone ring I grinned seeing Emres name.
"Emre?" "Well Dallas it looks like you and I are going to be family. A good reason to get together and drink" I laughed "it looks like it. After all of our worries and now we get this exciting news" "you know where I live. come around for a drink" "I will be there within fifteen minutes".

"Oh Dallas" "hi Evelyn" "oh come on we are family now get in here and give me a hug" I chuckled "did you set this up?" Giving her a hug she stepped back "no the original plan was to pretend they were engaged but Brenton changed that. He told me earlier today he doesn't want it to be temporary, he wanted the real thing" I grinned "let's hope they have no troubles" "after our interview I don't think they will and Justine came down to the studio.." "Evelyn let's go into the lounge" "okay".
I grinned I can tell she is thrilled to have April as her future daughter in law.

"As I was saying Justine came into the studio but after realizing they were engaged and happy in love, she said she is happy for them with a genuine smile and walked away" "well crap I never expected that" "nor did we but I am thankful she did".
"So we have a wedding coming up and hopefully some babies" Emre shook his head "here we go, this is all we are going to hear about" I chuckled "I am thrilled for both of them".

Brenton.

All I have wanted to do was take my woman home and make love to her. When April said she wanted to go and get out of that dress my hearing peaked. Oh I will definitely help her out of it.
"We will catch you guys later" "yeah you will remember those colors" I looked at Brit curiously as April grabbed my hand while laughing "I will remember" "good now go" I smirked.

Arriving at the estate as soon as we entered the house, I picked April up carrying her bridal style to our room. Of course she protested but I wasnt letting her go. There is no way in hell.
Getting to our room when I put her on the bed her eyes showed something, something other than happiness but I wasnt sure what it was. "April are you okay?" "Yes of course I am fine" I didn't know if I should believe it or not but pressing my lips to hers she responded straight away. Both of us removing each others clothes, I wanted nothing more than to make love to her but something just didn't feel right. There was a hesitation in the way she touched me. She said she was happy to marry me, I could see it, I could feel it but there's something wrong. "Brenton?" "April I.." I had no idea how to word this "is there something wrong? You have been ecstatic all night but now.." "I'm fine Brenton" "I know this may sound strange but I can feel it, I can feel it in your movements" April brushed it off "you are worrying too much" removing myself from above her, I laid down beside her and she faced me. Grabbing the covers I pulled them over both of us and pulled her close. I had nothing to say I can feel something is wrong. Maybe she is afraid that she will ruin the night by saying how she feels. Looking into her deep dark green eyes I put my hand gently on her face and leant in kissing her gently. "I am so happy I get to marry the love of my life. You mean the world to me and I can't imagine my life with out you. All those things I said we're the honest truth. I not only did it on live television to show you, I did it to show the world. You know that expression shout it to the world, Well I did it because I wanted them to know. Just laying here with my hand on your face, your body against mine I never want to move. I want to hold you for a life time. I love you" "I love you too" just holding April when her eyes eventually closed my mind just wouldn't stop thinking. Why did I feel something was wrong? Surely it's not just in my head.
