One love

Chapter 2

Right as I walk into the dining room Shane leaves my side. I say my hellos to the people I know. As I'm walking up to my parents they don't look to impressed. I wonder what's going on but I guess it's going to have to wait. During dinner which was just like any other dinner besides this time we have a full table. I feel a hand on my leg and look over at my mother. "What's up?" I whisper so only she can hear me. "Nothing to worry about. I just wanted to tell you that you look beautiful like always. And when you see Mr. Shane tonight give him our love."

I nod and pick at my plate. I smile when Carmon walks over to the table she leans into whisper to me. "Hey Sunshine Girl, I just wanted to tell you Melissa and I have dessert already when you are. Also Shane is all smiles, your present for him is in the spot you told me to put it. Melissa will escort you out to the gardens when the time comes."

I thank her with a kiss on the cheek and she leaves with a huge smile on her beautiful face. Carmon is a very beautiful, she has dark brown hair and blue eyes. She is thin and tall. Sometimes I can't help myself I just stare at her.

Hey it's not my fault! Its Shane's for looking so much like his mother. The only thing he has of his Father's is his amazingly gorgeous eyes that any normal human being can't stop staring into. There  so dang dreamy.

I only mange to eat a few bites from my plate. I was saving room for strawberry cheesecake. When the plates form the main course was cleared. I look over at my mother and she smiles at me and nods her head. I stand up and clear my throat to get everyone's attention.

"I hope you all enjoy desert, I'll be excusing myself now because I have other plans. Thank you for coming and Happy Thanksgiving." I turn and walk towards a smiling Melissa. "Happy Thanksgiving Princess." Everyone cheers behind us as we walk out the door. Grr I really don't like being called Princess. There is only one person who can call me that, and that person is Shane Oliver Smith.

I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't realize that we standing at a little table set for two was in front of us. "Wow this is gorgeous! Thank you Melissa." She smiles.

"Thanks Sweet Girl. Now Shane will be arriving any minute now, I just wanted to tell you that Carmon and I decide that since its Mr. Shane's birthday that you guys would like some champagne but you guys are only allowed one glass. So we poured the glasses." I side hug her and right she turned to walk back toward the castle and I see the Birthday Boy.

"Wow Beautiful, I didn't expect this. I thought we were just having dessert but this." He comes up and hugs me. "It's not too much is?" He shakes his head. "No it awesome!" Shane walks over to the table and pulls out one of the chairs. He takes my hand and I sit in the chair he pulled out. He kisses my hand and sits a crossed from me.

"So Beautiful, how did you do all of this?" " Why do you keep calling me Beautiful?" He looks up at me with a face that's hard to read.  Which is weird because Shane is the easiest person to read. He clears his throat and looks at me straight in the eyes. "Because its true you are beautiful. And I will think that until my last breath." Tears swell up in my eyes. "Thanks My hansom Prince." He laughs and smiles. I get up and walk over to the fountain and grab Shane's present.

As I'm walking back I notice Shane is standing up. "Here Happy birthday!" I hand him his present and his eyes almost pop out of his head. "Are you going to open the case up are you just going to stare at it?"

He looks up at me then back down. I reach out to touch his arm. "Shane if you dont like it I can take it back and you can go pick out whatever you want. I just figured you would love to have something to play on so you can write more music. But if you dont like the guitar you can just say so my feelings won't be hurt."

Shane is looking up at me now and shaking his head. "No Princess I love its just how did you get it and how did you know that I wanted it?" "Shane we have been friends since we were two. I think i know what you want. And how did I get it is my business. Will you please one the case so I know that I got you want you want!" He smiles and looks down. 

He opens the case and he is speechless once again. I rub his arm with my hand that is still on his arm. He looks up at me with tears in his gorgeous eyes.  "Sh-" He cuts me off by putting his hand over my mouth. "Thank you Beautiful its what I wanted and it is perfect because its the gray one I have been looking at for years. Thank you so much!" He pulls in for a hug.

We sit back down at the table and eat cake. We make a toast to friendship and to a happily ever after. Its late when Shane escorts me to my room and hugs and kisses my cheek. We say goodnight and wave goodbye. He told me he will come tell me goodbye before he has to leave for training. Which is in a three hours.

He will be going to Parker which is two and half hours away from Alexandria. He promised he would write and call when he could. As I look in my bathroom mirror I find myself crying. I wipe the tears away and walk back into my bedroom. I crawl into bed and cry myself to sleep. My one and only friend is leaving me.
