Wish upon a star (A Jordan Knight fanfic)

Chapter 11: A very important night (flashback)

So, tonight is the night, I am going to ask Crystal to marry me. I am a nervous wreck. Jon left two days ago and I wished he would have stayed to help me through this night. 

I know he left so that we could be alone but sometimes I just need my big brother to help me. 

I am going to walk over and pick her up at seven and I will have everything ready before I pick her up. 

I have citronella candles all over the backyard, I have strung clear yard lights, I have the music ready, I have a red tablecloth, and I bought some wine for dinner. I know she is a minor but we are taking a huge step tonight and I need a little wine to help my nerves.

I am making Shepard's pie for dinner and rolls. I bought a strawberry shortcake for dessert. 

I have candles lined in my bedroom, which I will light right before I serve dessert. I have placed rose petals from the top of the stairs to my bed. I washed all the bedding earlier.

I mean we are the only ones that have slept on them but still, I wanted them to be clean for tonight.

This is her first time and I am going to make sure it is special for her. I am going to take my time with her. I did hint to her to shave anywhere she needed to because tonight was a special night. 

I also told her to let her parents know that she was going to stay the night with me tonight. She has plenty of clothes here and pretty much anything else she would need. She stays here several times a week.  

I have a Shepard's pie ready to go in the oven and everything is ready I have one hour until I am supposed to pick her up. I figured I would put it in the oven for about ten minutes before I go to pick her up. 

I bought her a dozen roses to present to her when I pick her up. I am going to go through and just ensure the house is cleaned. 

I take a breath when I finished and I looked at my watch it was almost time to go pick her up. I put dinner in the oven, lock the door, and walk toward her house with the roses in hand. 

I walk to her door and ring the bell. I wipe my hands across my jeans as I am really nervous and they are sweating. 

It isn't so hot and humid there is a slight breeze blowing making the evening comfortable. 

She opens the door and she is wearing a blue dress. It has a sweetheart neckline and above-the-knee length. She is wearing her black high heels with the dress and the jewelry I bought her for her birthday and Christmas last year.

She looks so beautiful, she has her hair pinned up, and a headband around the top of her head. She is wearing a light amount of makeup with a dark red color of lipstick on her sexy kissable lips. 

"Hey, there baby, you look very handsome this evening."

"Thank you, and you look breathtakingly beautiful. These are for you, my dear." 

"Thank you, Jordan. Come on in for a minute while I grab my purse and put these in a vase." She leaned over and kissed him.

Jordan stepped inside and smiled at her mom and dad that was sitting there smiling at them.

"Those are beautiful roses Jordan. How are you this evening?" Loretta asked.

"I am good Loretta how are you and Gene doing?"

"We are good, son. Are you ready for tonight?" Gene asked.

"I am sir, I am a little nervous but I am ready. She will be home tomorrow if that is alright sir. I'm sure she may call you a little later this evening or she may just wait until she comes home to tell you."
