Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Look I don't have a lot time, Sam will be back soon but while I have you listening try something new. "This couldn't help but place a devilish grin. "Sam won't be here for a few days because of business, if he proposes tonight go ahead and say yes. But, for those days he's gone let me show you something different. Something that Sam would never be able to show you.
If after everything you still want to be with Sam I won't budge in. However if you decide he no longer tickles your fancy leave him at the alter." As he spoke he caressed her forearm, giving her something to think about. Before she could even speak or reciprocate he arose from the seat and went to order food. Sam came back.

"Sure I got you." While he was waiting in line he reposition himself so he could eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Sorry about that." He apologized. Chris just really wanted to catch up and Corny had him worried. "Chris just wanted to catch up. Corny get Lain and I some burgers. Is that alright with you?" He asked his partner.


He checked his watch almost forgetting to inform her about his business venture. "Baby, I'll be gone for a few days for business. If you need anything Cornelius is here to help." He tried to force a smile, hopefully those two get along during his time away.

Sam frown at her response caressing her fingers. It was almost time. He did have more planned but he didn't care. "Lain I have to ask you something." Clearing his throat he stood up. "For the last 4 years you've made me the happiest man alive. I could see myself getting old with you, having kids, owning our first home together." Sam smiled getting down on one knee. "No matter what happens, know that I'll always love you. I'll always be there for you." All eyes were on them even a few people had their phones out recording this once in a lifetime moment.

"Will you do me the honors and marry me?" All his nerves disappeared right then and there. He reached into his pocket pulling out a gorgeous diamond ring awaiting her answer. The worse she could say is no right?

If Lain never came between Sam and him there would be no problem between them. All would be peaches and cream. And just like that everything became quiet, only Sam's voice filled the room.
Cornelius knew this would happen. Taking a deep breath he turned around focusing only on Lain.

Those words made him ecstatic giving her a hug back placing the ring on her finger. "How do you like it?" It wasn't the most expensive ring but it wasn't that bad. Their witnesses cheers reduced until it was nothing. Food...food brought him back to reality picking himself up off the floor and took a seat. "Lets." He agreed with Corny. Sam was a bit hungry. "It was going to be for a few days, but while I was outside I was notified by Diane the trip would last for a week." Diane was Sam's assistant and had been for years.

"I agree, and it would be nice to see you two get along." He looked at both of them taking another bite of his burger. "Since it's getting late and I have flight to catch in the morning once we're done here I can drop Cornelius off and stay the night at your house if that's okay?" He wasn't going to be around for a week. Even though Lain could be busy he could still go to her house anytime and see her.

Tomorrow it starts, all he has to do is change her mind. Show her that she isn't the right candidate for Sam. *ding* The food was ready.
He held the tray placing it on their table. "Let's eat." He sat next to Sam eyeing Lain. "How long are you going to be gone again?" He question chewing on a fry. A week, that changes everything. With his charm, and his daring ways she would definitely be infatuated, if not more. He was cheeky. "I see. If it's alright with you I would like to take Lain out for some fun. She's always busy and she never really lives."
