The Call Chapters 3 through 4
Chapter Three
"Ok we're here," Howie said as he pulled up to Michael's Place, Isabel's favorite restaurant.
She kissed his cheek. "Oh, Howie, how did you know?"
He kissed her on the lips. "I did my homework."
She giggled. He helped her out of the car and they went inside just as the sun began to set. To Isabel, it was the perfect evening. She and Howie caught up with each other. She updated him on her life and he told her some tour stories.
"AJ and Nick did THAT on tour?"
Howie chuckled. "Yeah they did. Kevin wasn't exactly happy about it either."
She shook her head. "How are the guys anyway?"
"They all say hi. AJ said that I have to bring you to Orlando sometime."
"Maybe next month. How long are you staying here?"
"About a week. The U.S. tour is about a month away. We have to brush up the dance routines and all that."
"It must get lonely on the road."
"Yeah it does." He got up and dropped to one knee. "Isabel Amanda Henderson, you make everyday worth living. You are the love of my life." He brought out a small black box and opened it, showing Isabel the most beautiful diamond ring she had ever seen. "Will you marry me?"

Chapter Four
Isabel's eyes filled up with tears. "Oh my God. Howie, of course I will!" He slipped the ring onto her finger. The people in the restaurant stopped what they were doing and cheered. Isabel smiled and hugged her fiance. Then, the waiter brought out dessert, chocolate mousse, Isabel's favorite. After they finished, Howie payed for dinner, took Isabel by the hand, and left to go to the lake for a moonlit walk under the stars. As they were walking by the lake, Isabel sighed happily and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Baby, I love you."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her deeply. "I love you, too."
"Is everyday going to be like this?"
"You better believe it. For once, the paparazzi aren't following us." He checked his watch. "I better take you home. You might want to tell your parents the news."

One Hour Later
Isabel and Howie walked into her house. "Mom? Dad? Are you home?"
"We're down here, honey," her father said.
They walked downstairs to where her parents were sitting. "Mom, Dad, we have some news."
They both looked at the happy couple.
"Howie and I are engaged!"
