"How about we put the ring catalogues down David." Courteney grabbed the magazines and set them aside. The two sitting across from each other at Courteney's house. Jennifer out doing some errands before they have to set from London thinking her boyfriend was doing the same. "You need to take a breather. You even said it yourself she might not be ready to get married just yet."

"You're right. You're right. I don't even know why I'm already thinking about this." David shook his head trying to force some laughter out of his mouth. When in reality he is just scared that he if he doesn't think this is where it might end then the ending will be his heart broken. An ending he thought of but as the days passed it became a distant thought. A thought that never passed his mind ever again once the two of them kept going passed the several hurdles thrown at them.

Courteney noticed how David's actions shifted once she told him to stop looking at the engagement rings. She is all for a wedding between her two friends, in fact she doesn't want anything else but that to happen. However, she still is cautious that perhaps Jennifer's heart hasn't fallen quickly as his has. Which is also just an assumption since Jennifer hasn't spoken about any next steps she's thinking about. Not recently at least.

"David I wasn't meaning it in a bad way, it's just... Maybe wait until her heart has fallen as fast as yours. Okay? Thinking about the future isn't a bad thing. I mean the fact that you see a future with Jen is amazing. It's actually really heart warming." Courteney admitted causing her friend to smile. "You can think about the future without acting on steps just yet. You're ready, but she might not be."

"You're right... Again."

"Why do you want to propose right away?" Courteney asked the question. "Is it a fear that's hanging over you or?"

"No. Not that, not anymore at least."

"Then what is it?"

David heavily sighed before answering. "I feel like if I don't move towards the future then what are we doing? We waited for so long Court. Don't say we didn't, we wasted what? Almost three years of miscommunication and missed signals. I just don't want to waste anymore time."

"Is it time wasted if you're still spending everyday with her? Is it time wasted if you know now that she loves you? David. You two already are building a future together. It might not be the future everyone labels as one. But who says that's the blueprint? As long as you two are happy, and you two view each other as the one... Isn't that enough?"

Courteney's words now is on repeat for David as he goes to sit down for an interview. After Jennifer woke him up he only had half an hour before the different interviewers showed up. Seeing her as the first thing when he opened his eyes was pretty much the sight he wants to see for the rest of his life, even if he doesn't want to publicly admit that to her yet.

"Honey, don't you have scenes to film?" David asked as he noticed Jennifer was just lurking around behind the scenes.

"All of my scenes are with you." She laughed. "I'll just hang around here for a while, is that okay?"

"Of course, of course." He smiled at her and she did the same before walking off seeing the interviewer in the distance. With giving him an air kiss and mouthing an 'I love you' Jennifer just stayed back where the camera men stood.

"Well we're here in London and seeing all the wedding decorations around let me guess... It's Ross?"

David laughs. "Second time is the charm?"

"Let's hope for that one, I know America has mixed feelings about it though. Have you seen or read any of the viewer opinions on the engagement to Emily?"
