I kept my eyes closed like I was told and turned around

"Ok open them" Sal said

I open them and there's nothing

"Ha ha, we tricked you mommy" Riley says laughing

"Silly boys" I say shaking my head

"But really I need you to turn back around" Sal

"Will you marry me?, please"
Sal says on one knee

I was in shock and didn't even know what was going on and I looked at him without saying a word

"Christal? So Will you?" Sal snaps me out of my shock

"Yes!!!"

"Awesome cuz it would have been really awkward if you said no" Sal says

We all celebrated and got drunk off our ass

The next morning I woke up in the room

There's a knock on the door I can't get to it fast enough so stuff is being stuffed under the door and I thought that there was some yelling in the hall
It was just a paper that said "congratulations on your engagement come to the lido deck for a fantastic party"

The 2wks went by quickly with all the fans asking me to hangout with them I would take shots with everyone that asked till Sal would help me to the room and put me to bed

"Good thing you know how to hold your liquor, I wouldn't ​be able to even handle it if you didn't"

"Yeah, years of practice pays off" I smile

"I told the fans that they can't have anymore parties for you since it's been non-stop​ for 3days you need time to let your liver rest"

"Yeah you're right, but I do like it when we mess around while buzzed"

"Why is that?"

"Because I relax more and I feel what we do even more, and you can't tell me that these past 2 days haven't been awesome"

"True, they have been amazing and I feel like making it a 3 for 3 tonight"

Before I can say anything Sal is lifting me up in the shower
I don't even remember how long we were in the shower I just remembered round 3 being on the bed and waking up the next morning to Sal getting out the shower

"Beautiful wake up we have to meet everyone for breakfast, you don't have a hangover do you?"

"Nope, that's another thing about my awesomeness it's rare that I get them"

"Ok well get ready I'll check on Riley and meet you on deck"

It was the same thing wake up, eat, party, a few times with Sal, and do it all over again till the last 3 days for the cruise

Then soon we were back at the house in SI everyone was still surprised about us getting married

We didn't really do anything after we got home mostly just relaxed and got things settled for Riley to start school while at the same time the wedding and the holiday season

The guys doing their specials and all the charity events too even Riley had a few holiday photoshoots to do so I was either setting things up for Sal or Riley at any given time

When it was all said and done I slept a whole day then left to finish everyone's gifts

I was getting stuff to send to my sisters and the kids when I saw Drew's girlfriend shopping with her kids

I guess she didn't notice me because​ she didn't make a scene but I could see the little boy that was said to be Riley's younger bother
They saw Riley's picture in the child section

"Look Gotham, it's your big brother" Lynn says

"Wow, my big brother is famous" he says

I saw Drew walking towards them

"Daddy, look it's my big brother doesn't he look awesome?"

"Yeah he does"

I just left I didn't want to deal with the drama they make
I didn't feel anything for Drew other than pity because he doesn't know his oldest son

I was waiting in line to pay when they all stood in back of me
I know I changed so much from a few years ago and it's all thanks to Sal helping me with so much and Drew didn't notice it was me and if he did he didn't say anything

When it was my turn to pay I thought of doing something nice

"Total is $345 even"

"Can you also give me 3 gift cards each with the balance of $200, pay the stuff the family right in back of me with one and give them the other"

"Yes ma'am"

"Oh and the left over balance on the card and the other card are for you to keep" I say with a smile

"Thank you ma'am very much"

"Total is $945 even"

I paid and walked away and didn't look back
When I left the store I went to get the gifts wrapped

"The wait is going to be about an hour if that's ok?"

"That's fine how much is it?"

"Well we go by whatever you would want to donate"

I looked over at the tree and saw there was just few angel slips, the papers that have children​ in foster homes or lower income families gifts on them and you get them

"You know what all the slips I'll pay for those gifts too, here's a $2,000 check please get the best quality of toys for the children"

"Wow, Yes ma'am we'll get right on it, your gifts will be ready in 30 minutes"

I just hand the check and smile then go walk around the mall for a while I felt good about being able to do something because I knew first hand how it felt not to be able to have anything

I got some food and went back to get the gifts I was going to mail to California​ and headed to the post office near the house so I could get out the city and there before dark
