Real Friends Or Ones of Convenience

74.

Louis

Once we had arrived back home I simply couldn't take it anymore. The silence has been defening.

"Brenda, baby please talk to me. Anything, scream at me anything but this silence it's killing me as well as scaring me" I tell her.

She just looks at me "Lou, there's nothing to scream for.  I'm just...I don't know...a bit down. I told you I thought we'd be married and having a family started at this point. Instead I'm watching the girls all have these things"

"No, you will get what you want. Pick the date baby. I will give you the world, well what I can"

"All I need, all I ever needed was you, Lou"

"Bren, I love you so much. Tell me, when do you want to marry me and start this family? Where do you wish to be married?"

"Lou, is it crazy that I kinda want to marry you in Vaehs yard? I mean it holds many memories for me. Do you like February 13?"

"No, it's not crazy at all. It's a beautiful place. The date, if you want it. I like it"

"Well it's kinda sneaky but that way we get to celebrate two days together" I wink "Since first it'll be our anniversary and then Valentine's day"

"Brilliant baby" I kissed her with love.

"I guess we should perhaps see if it's possible from Nevaeh and Harry to have a wedding in their yard?"

"I don't think they'll mind. You've been friends for years"

"Yes, but what if she wanted her own wedding there? This is only 6 months plus away. Not much time really"

"I guess then the only way to know is to ask. How about we go together tomorrow? From now on we do things like we should've been, together"

The next morning we got up. Brenda just looks at me and smiles. "So...." she says.

"Yes" I reply. "I love you Brenda. You ready for the day? No regrets right? You still want to marry me?"

I didn't want her to feel like she had to if she was just going through her head last night.

"Of course Louis, more than anything. I guess I'm just nervous about going to Nevaeh and Harry. I mean sometimes I can't read her and she hasn't told me anything about her wedding thoughts so far and I don't want to step on her idea"

I just wrapped my arms around her. "Babe, if she's not saying anything how can you know?"

We'll only know once we ask. So we got around and graded to their house.

Reaching Nevaeh and Harry's place, even though I tried to be positive about this all of a sudden I was a bit nervous. I won't tell Brenda though.

She was smiling as we approached the door together hand in hand.

Harry answered "hey guys, what's up? Come on in"

We stepped in. "We actually have something to ask you and Nevaeh" Brenda stated quickly. She's nervous, I can tell.

"Oh uh is it bad? Let me...let me get Nevaeh then. Loosen up, you both look so serious. It can't be that bad"  He went to get Nevaeh.

Both Harry and Nevaeh returned to us. Nevaeh then says "so, whats up guys?"

Bren once again takes lead. "So, Lou and I have been talking and we're going to get married...

Before Brenda could finish however both Harry and Nevaeh were saying how they were happy for us and they kinda expected it.

When Harry asked "but why such serious faces to tell us this? This is good news. You also didn't have to drive here to tell us"

Brenda clears her throat "well thats not all. I was kinda hoping to use your yard to get married" she looks down to the floor. "Also I want to marry Louis February 13"

Nevaeh stands there like she's just been shocked now.

Suddenly she just turned and started to walk away. Harry called her name but she didn't stop.

What just happened? I thought she was happy? Now, I'm not sure.

Brenda grabbed my arm. "Lets go. This was a bad idea. We can just go to the court house. I'll still be yours and you mine that's all we really wanted right?"

We left but it broke my heart as I heard Brenda crying. I couldn't do anything about it because I didn't know what caused Nevaeh to react the way she did.

Why do you think Nevaeh reacted like she did?
