Dinner
We all pile into our cars and head to the drop ship. We go inside and our waiter leads us to our table and gives us our menus. I look around the restaurant. It's kinda dim but there's lots of candles (which I like very much). The light fixtures all have Edison bulbs which gives the place a nice glow. It's not too crowded tonight. On one side is where all the tables are which is the restaurant area. On the other side of a wall through a large door way is a game room with two pool tables and the bar. I have a feeling we'll be over there later. Our waiter comes up and asks what we want to drink. Octavia orders 3 flights of craft beers for all of us to drink. We all also order waters.
"All the beer here is really good they have their own brewing company a few blocks away."
"Look at O trying to be all fancy."
Octavia elbows Raven in the side and we all laugh. I turn to Bellamy and say
"Why don't you tell us the proposal story?"
"Well I've been planning it for awhile. I thought about doing something big and getting all you guys in on it but I decided to just do something small and sweet instead."
Bell turns to Murphy and Murphy smiles at him before leaning in to kiss him. Raven fake gags so Anya smacks her on the arm. Murphy sees this and starts over exaggeratedly making out with Bellamy just to mess with Murphy. While we're laughing our waiter comes over with our drinks. Lincoln pipes up and says
"Wait guys you have to drink them in a certain order. Bell, you're gonna have to wait to finish your story."
"That's alright I'm ready to drink."
First we start with the first glass on the first tray we all take a drink and pass it around before moving into the next one. Each one is has a different unique flavor. As we're finishing up the last tray I see Anya lean over and kiss Raven. Then she turns around and gives me a wink. It's a challenge, she's trying to be a better girlfriend than me. So I turn to Clarke and cup her cheeks and give her a nice tender kiss. I tease her just a little bit by running my tongue along her lip before pulling away. Just before Anya can go to outdo me Octavia says
"I see what you two are doing quit it before it ends with you guys putting your hands down your girlfriends' pants in public."
"Alright we'll stop, right Anya?"
"Of course."
Anya gives me a look that lets me know this isn't over. Anya is very competitive. Our waiter comes over and we all order Bell and Murphy order steaks, Lincoln orders a tuna steak while Octavia orders mahi mahi, Raven and Anya both order spaghetti, Clarke orders a shrimp pasta while I order a caesar salad with grilled chicken on top. The waiter goes off to put our orders in and O says
"Bell, why don't you finish your story?"
He looks at Clarke and nods before clearing his throats and picking up where he left off.
"First we went and saw Rogue One because our first date was at the movies. Then we went to outback for dinner because Murphy loves the blooming onion. Then we went and got ice cream even tho it's freezing out and we went to Central Park because that's where we met. We just walked for awhile and when we got to the fountain where we met I turned around to face Murphy. I pulled the ring out of my back pocket and dropped down on one knee and said 'John Murphy would you make me the happiest man in the world by marrying me?' Murphy said 'yes of course I love you so much' then I slid the ring on his finger and stood up. He pulled me in for a long kiss. Once we pulled away we starting walking hand-in-hand back to the car."
"That was the cutest thing I've ever heard." said Anya.
Everyone else agreed. Murphy kissed Bellamy on the cheek. After that we all settled into our own little conversations. Raven announced that after dinner we were all gonna play pool and she was buying us all a round of shots. Just then our food arrives. Once we all get our food we dig in. In between bites everyone mentions how good their food is. Once we're all done the waiter comes to check on us and ask if we want dessert. I ask the waiter to bring us all our a slice of cake and tell her than Murphy and Bell are engaged. He comes out a few minutes later with 8 slices of cake. The two he sets down in front of Bellamy and Murphy have little notes on the plate that say congratulations. While everyone is distracted eating I give the waiter my card and tell him to be slick he nods and walks away. By the time we all finish our cake the waiter comes back and Raven and Octavia start fighting over the check. The waiter says
"No need to argue it's done."
He proceeds to hand me my card. Octavia, Lincoln, Anya, and raven all try to give me money and I say no. Bellamy and Murphy both thank me and tell me I didn't have to do that and I said it's no problem. We all get up and head over to the game room to play some pool. First thing Raven heads over to the bar and orders us all a round of shots. We all take our shot I feel the warm burn down my throat. I turn to Anya and wink at her before grabbing grabbing Clarke and kissing her long and hard. Right as Anya goes to kiss Raven lincoln hands her a pool stick and says let's play. F
