we finally pulled up to the place at lunch time. Keaton escorted me out of his car and to the front where the big sign was.

"alright now stand there!" he untied the bandanna and i saw this retro, vintage restaurant called Nifty Fifties! it was amazing, black and white checker boarded and red style restaurant. it looked like we were in the fifties! i was pretty shocked i love this kind of stuff!

"well say something!"

"how did you know!?"

"i figured a beautiful, south jersey girl would love something like this!"

"the fifties are like, i don't know, like the place in the past i would leave to!"

"well then i hope you like Elvis!"

"no.." i jokingly said and Keaton looked down smiling, but in sadness "i love him!" Keaton looked up like little kid getting candy! i giggled. i looked around noticing no one was here. it was just us two,a waitress and a cook, for the most i could see anyways. "wait why Elvis?"

"come sit up here in the booth with me!" he took my hand and drug me there like a puppy dog.

the waitress came up with two chocolate milkshakes "here you go ms. Audry and here you Mr. Keaton!" 

i gave Keaton a weird look. he had to have planned it and had a ton of people set up for this. so now i was on my toes looking for things around the room on what else is set up. i'm not sure what the restaurant looked like before so i can't tell! we started sipping on our milkshakes with our red and white candy cane straws. i started to laugh as i made bubbles in it like i was four years old. Keaton couldn't help, but laugh. 

"alright! let's get this started with!" Keaton yelled real loud.

"what?" what is he yelling for? he got up and walked into another room and came out with his guitar.

"come on out guys!" drew and Wes walked out side by side with Keaton. they had huge smiles on their faces and laughing. 

"Keaton felt more comfortable with us next to him!" Wes announced.

Keaton started to play a song i knew the melody, but couldn't quite put my finger on it. then he sung. "won't you wear my ring around your neck? go tell the world I'm yours by heck!" obviously by the first line it was "wear my ring around your neck" by Elvis. drew and Wes were doing back up vocals  to add effect. when he was done singing he pulled out a box and handed it to me. it was a silver necklace with a silver ring on it. i held it up in front of my face almost feeling tears come to my eyes. mostly from never feeling so happy in my life and partially from whoever has been calling me was right. 

"so will you be my girlfriend?" he smiled.

"yes!" i was so happy to say. he took the necklace and hooked it around my neck. i jumped and hugged him whispering in his ear. "no ones ever done something nice to me in a while and never something this amazing! thank you!"

he pulled me to his forehead and whispered "now that you're mine that's all you'll ever have is happiness and love."  we smiled and stared in to each other's eyes. then we kissed and sparks flew. we jumped off of each other and looked at each other's eyes knowing we both felt it. we turned and looked at Wes and drew laughing at us. they finally just left the place and we sat back down in our booth and ordered some lunch. i had some weird sandwich and Keaton had gyros. i've never seen it before or heard of it, but it looked good.
