Alex pulled with everything she had and Mack pushed. It took them awhile but they finally got the king-size mattress up the stairs. They hauled it into the master bedroom and put it on the frame, “There.” Mack said triumphantly.
Alex clasped onto it, “Did you bring the sheets and comforter up?”
“Yeah, I put it in my back pocket while I was shoving on this thing!” Mack said sarcastically, “I can get those while you get the TV.”
“I can’t get the TV all by myself.” Alex retorted
“I was kidding, let’s go.”
They went down stairs and somehow managed to get the huge TV upstairs. Alex hooked the TV and VCR hooked while Mack made the bed. They had had the pool table, Ms. Packman machine and the big screen TV delivered, so they didn’t have to worry about those because the delivery guys had but them in the large room that they had decided to convert into a game room. Mack sat down on the bed, “Are we done for today?”
“Yeah, I think so. Why don’t we go down to Blockbuster and pick up some Chinese on the way home?”
“Sounds simply yummy to me.” Mack said.

They stayed up late watching movies, but got up early the next morning to go shopping for more furniture. They bought stuff for each of 5 bedrooms upstairs, the 2 bathrooms, and then shopped for furniture for the living room and dinning room. By the end of the day they were almost satisfied. After almost a week Alex and Mack had the house looking almost lived in. Every room had been furnished and decorated and Alex loved it, “Do you think I should move in?” Alex asked after they had finished and now sat in Alex’s lovely kitchen
Mack thought for a minute, “Yeah, why don’t we do that tomorrow.”
Alex nodded, “I think I’ll leave most of my stuff for Chad, besides, not like I need any of it.” She said looking around
“You are a lucky chic Alex, you have a wonderful guy, nice home, and hopefully a good future.”
Alex smiled, “I needed to ask you something.”
“What?”
“Would you be my Maid of Honor?”
Mack stopped and looked at Alex, “Why?”
“Well, how else is gonna be my Maid of Honor?”
Mack sat there for a little bit, “I would love too.”
Alex smiled, “Can I ask you something else?”
“What?”
“Help me plan the wedding.”
Mack sat there for only a moment, “You can hire someone to do that.”
“I know, I want to hire you.”
“Why?” Mack asked bluntly
“Because, we think a lot alike, I like your style, and I don’t want someone telling me how MY wedding should be.”
Mack nodded, “Well, I’ll try. When do we get started?”
“Whenever you want. I don’t think we’ll have a problem doing it long distance. You have a fax machine don’t you?”
Mack nodded, “Yeah, at the store. Are you going to fly people into Tampa?”
Alex stopped at this, “I don’t know, we haven’t talked about it.”
Mack laughed, “Girl, you better hurry, it’s only a year away.”
Alex smiled as the words sunk in, in a year, she would be married.
