Ethan's POV
I stood outside of Em's apartment, wringing my hands. Simon agreed it would be a good idea to get straight to the point and just ASK, but I obviously still had my doubts.
Em opened the door, like the plan, I was taking her to the West Ham game, though she wasn't cheering for my club, but Liverpool. Another flawless part of Simon's plan, taking her to a game her team would obviously win, since West Ham was a complete charity service at this point.
"Are you ready?" I gave her a cheeky smile and she grinned back. Tonight I had to give her the whole package. I held out my hand to her and she clasped it tight.
We started walking, and I felt the small ring box bump against my chest. It was hidden inside a pocket of my coat. A whole new batch of nerves arose, and I fought the urge to jump around.
We headed over the Olympic Park, still holding hands. Near the entrance, a teenager wearing an Antonio jersey shouted over to me and Em.
"Awww! I'm sorry mate, it's time to let go. You can't be dating a Liverpool fan!" He motioned to my Irons shirt and then to her Lallana kit.
He just lined up a perfect moment for me. Em was too busy chuckling to notice me swiftly pull the box out of my pocket.
"You know what," I kneeled, "I shouldn't be dating a Liverpool girl."
I heard a little gasp come out of Em's mouth.
"Emmica Trent, will you please give me the honor of.." I started to choke a bit, "...of marrying you?"
Even though the sun was near all the way down, I could see tears shining on her face.
"Yes. Yes yes yes." She nodded so hard I feared her head would fall off.
I slid the light pink gem onto her finger. Em admired it, a sparkle in her eye. I stood up and she pulled me into a tight hug.
Then came the applause. The teen lead it, whistling.
"Yes mate!"
It was a perfect addition to my fantasy of a life.

Simon's POV
Ethan texted me a picture of Em sporting a ring on her finger. I was guessing our plan worked.
For a while, I sat in my room, trying to record a video, but I just wasn't in it. I was thinking about JJ. Maybe he'd appreciate a surprise visit from me.

JJ's POV
"Cal! Can you grab me a towel?" I called out of the bathroom.
"Yeah, sure!" He shouted back.
I sighed, sinking against the wall dreamily. Cal had been coming and going for the past two days. He knocked on the bathroom door.
"Oh just come in," I groaned. He was a bit timid at times.
Cal slowly opened the door, only wearing a bathrobe and clutching my towel. He held it out to me, focusing on my face and smiling.
I took the towel and wrapped it around my waist, "thanks mate."
There was another knock, this time if was coming from downstairs.
I sighed in frustration.
"I can get it while you get dressed," he offered.
"Oh it doesn't matter," I waved him off, "whoever it is has most likely seen me in less than a towel."
Cal chuckled as I ambled down the stairs. I ripped the door open. It was Simon.
