waking up after his nap, leonn quickly got up out the chair and made his way towards the backyard where he had set up the table and looks around, smiling at the set up once more before turning towards vezux and secra talking with a few others. He makes his way back inside to grab the pearls he got for secra, grabbing them from the table he set them on, then heading back outside to find secra still talking with the small group. 

                    Making his way to secra and vezux he looked to them both "sorry i fell asleep, ive been quite busy lately" he then extends the box with the pearls towards secra and smiles. "picked these up for you because i thought they looked really nice and i was already getting vezux's cufflinks, so i figured why not just grab these as well and show up with gifts for you both." noticing his hair had fallen in his face he quickly pulled it back out of his face and stood there as professionally as he could.

Secra was glad Vezux has made it back in time, though she nodded and responded, "Yes I did." She turned back towards LuciousLyon and informed him, "Well I will be heading back to the main room to greet the others who come in, Enjoy." Secra turned around and walked back towards the main room but only to be stopped a few feet from where she stood from Leonn.

She looked at him and smiled, "Good day Leonn, hows things going?" She looked at him as he apologized for sleeping only to extend a box towards her. She got curious and accepted the box.  Hearing that he decided to pick her up a small gift, opening the box shesmiled and took it out to inspect it. 

"Thank you Leonn, you didnt have to, but its so sweet." She smiled at him before putting it on and admiring it. Showing him what it looked like around her neck she smiled, "Thank you Leonn, I must go finish greeting all guests, go enjoy some drinks." She nodded before slipping off towards the main and talking to anyone who entered.

Seeing Leonn pop up into the dining hall, he smiled, seeing he looked nice, and was glad he woke up from his nap. "Hey man..I am glad you were able to get some sleep..."he paused seeing the gift that he handed him, he smiled, Leonn had been a great help around the Manor, always ready and on the go when they needed him, always willing to join in when he was needed or when he wanted to have fun, he nodded to the man and agreed with Secra. "Ah man..you really didn't have to...this is great man...you really have out done yourself." He chuckled, seeing the gift he had given to secra, and smiled, she did look amazing today, she still does.

As he noticed everyone was standing in the Garden room, right infront of the doors, to go out, into the big gardens, he smiled, mingling, as everyone seemed to be having a slight good time, catching up, as he walked by a couple, he heard them ask. "Is it going to starting soon?" He then turned to look. "Yes...in just a few moments, we are waiting on a few to arrive, and then we will start alright?..so just enjoy your time relaxing, and have fun." He said, smiling, as he went to check on the other's coming through the door, seeing drinks and snacks being sent out to everyone to enjoy.

Secra walked around and spoke to everyone as they all started to fan out into the garden. Walking around, she picked up a cup of whiskey and stepped out after everyone else moved on outside. She stood near the doors sipping on the cup of whiskey. It was sunny and bright, yet so pretty and set up nicely with shade over the table. 

Quietly walking over to where it was shaded so she could finish her drink she went walking around some more. Getting herself another glass of whiskey and one more cup. Looking for Vezux, when she found him she handed him the cup of whiskey and smiled going back until stood back in the shade,

Lucious decided to greet Vezux and then watch him move on over towards the place they call the garden room, which is where the real event was supposed to happen. Lyon nodded at his entourage, picked up his drink and stood up from the table as him and his group made their way over towards the garden, the place did indeed also have a nice touch of feeling at home for once, since things were usually about to start calming down in a few or getting a little bit hectic as the night goes on.

Lyon decided to look for a seat outside, taking the nearest table, him and his bodyguards pretty much scoured around getting a gander of things. The view was nice from where they were sitting, though a part of him blames himself for not going out often to events such as this; really makes him remember what he's missing out on.

As Vezux made his way back to the garden are, seeing everyone gather around, he smiled seeing Jasper, Leonn, Lam, Jeb, and a few otheir from the family, that needed to be there to have them congratulated, he also saw the guards coming in, bringing gifts for them, which he had forgotten all about, they had walked up to him, whispering to him, "We figured you guys were busy so we got them somethig." The body guard said as Vezux nodded.

as they were handed out, there was a bottle of rum, a family crest ring, and and a good chunk of cash, he kind of clicked his knife genlty to his glass, getting everyone to quiet down, little by little. 

"Hello everyone, it is good to see you guys all here, to welcome some of members to the family, that made and above, they have been loyal and working hard from the very star, and we wanted to congratulate them, I wanted to thank you all for coming and witness this as we grow, and I hope we can continue to make Secra proud, To the Moonlight Manor.."he chuckled, as they raised their glasses and he took a sip, he then thought he saw them set their glasses down, and watched them poen their gifts.

Then as an after thought he said, "Uhm I have a surprise thing later, but I want everyone to eat...because I know, it is probably almost supper time for you all..so lets all go out side, for the big meal, and the loud music and dancing will be..and once we eat I will surprise someone, with another gift...go enjoy your your fellowship ." He said, letting everyone go outside and go get something to eat, as he noticed the band was setting up, as everyone went to go pick a spot to sit, and settle their things to go a plate to eat.

Secra stood in the shade sipping at her whiskey. Looking at the fellow members of the business, enjoying the music and drinks. Secra smiled listening to everyone chatter. Though when Vezux made his toast she lifted her glass and smiled. She was proud of all the men and women who had achieved made even if they were not part of her family. It was a wonderful day for everyone as they had managed to make it there in their own way.

Hearing Vezux mention another thing she became curious. Though she had no idea what was in store she just went outside with everyone sitting down and chatting with those around, but after some of the conversation she went back over towards LuciousLyon and smiled. "Sorry that the area of the party seems to change so much. At least the weather is nice for the day."

Seeing everyone move outside to get their seats, and their food he smiled, he was soo nervous, and excited to get things going, he had hoped coltrane, or sabrina, or Flexx-Mitchell, Sabrina, or florence, and a few other family and friends would be a witness to his happiness, as he started to walk around, going to talk to everyone, who everyonce and while gave him a brotherly hug, he would hug back.

He looked over and saw Secra conversing with Lyons as well, he was happy she was around her friends, and people who wanted to see her happy as well, he could see some of the family members there as well, he sighed, feeling a bit content.

he then did a small walk through shaking hands, and greeting others, as they talked amongst themselves, he thought about how he would ask her infront of everyone, he had to not think about that, but he hoped she would say yes, he almost wanted to back out, but then he remembered how much he loved her.

                   Knowing he truly had done something memorable for secra and vezux, leonn decided to go ahead and enjoy the food on the table he had spent so much time setting. taking his place towards the middle of the table on a longer side, not wishing to step on any toes being just another soldier in the streets. Making his way through the food, making his plate while making sure to leave more for others. 

                   "thank you sir, such kind words. I'm just doing my job, seeing its as the least i can do for those who took me in when all went wrong." playing with his own hair, pulling it out of his face and taking a piece of the food from his plate and popping it into his mouth before stopping and looking around to make sure he wasnt offending anyone who wished to follow a religion and pray before eating.

He nodded his head in respect to Leonn, seeing him give his thank yous, and went to go get his food...apon settling in, he then happen to look over and Secra, which he was thankful for, because he needed her to be around, at least in this moment, it would be kind of weird if he proposed to her, in front of a lot of people and and she not be there, would be kind of out of the ordinary.

As He then raised a wine glass, that was filled with water, he clanked his fork gently against it, getting everyone's attention, as he the music became nothign more than small noise in the background. As the people gradually turned to look at him, seeing that everyone was setting down their forks to let him talk, he was greatful for that. Seeing he had everyone's attention he took a deep breath, and looked back over to Secra.

"Hello everyone, again...as I said earlier, I am glad you came, you all made me a happy person, but uhm...there is one specific person that I would like to come up here, Because this event is mainly for her...I had been thinking about doing this for awhile, as I was debating on it, I thought about all the times we were at each others side...although I know we are anything but Traditional, and I hope you do ake me the happiest man a live..."He paused, hoping he was seeing right, that she was making her way towards him, as he would then kind of crouch down to one knee for her. 

As he Crouched down, he pulled out a thin Jewelery box, it was it was the right size for a choker, and a bracelet, it had green gems, the color of her eyes, and then it had his colors on it, as he opened it for her, he looked up at her. "Secra...I know we are goofballs...and we have fun with everything we do...probably get on each other's nerves, and such...but I would like to continue to always be with you..and have you by my side for how ever long we are a live? because I would like to some day in the future marry the one I love, which is you." He said, as he cleared his throat waiting for her response.

Secra stood, sipping at her glass of whiskey as Vezux wandered around talking to everyone, thanking them and watching. She was happy that everyone seemed to eating their food talking and just enjoying their time. Her head lifted looking towards the sound of the utensil against the glass of water Vezux was holding. 

Her attention was caught so easily, as she stood quietly listening to everyone settle down and turn their attentions over to where Vezux was standing. She smiled listening to Vezux speak out to everyone. When called out to and asked to come up front as he continued to talk she went over. Looking at the eyes that followed her as she stopped next to Vezux.

Then she watched him get on one knee, her face went a faint red. Looking at him as he opened the little box, she stood frozen for a bit. Hearing him ask she felt like she was about to just pass out. Though she looked out the corner of her eyes at everyone before back at Vezux and gave a small nod. "I want to stay beside you." She could hardly get the words out from the shock  of being asked in front of people.

He looked up seeing he watchin him from a slight distance, and blushing all at once, he watched as she were to walk over to him, probably ffeling her chest was constricting, he then watched her walk towards him, he smiled, seeing she was just as nervous as he, he apon getting on knee before her, seeing her stand before him.

And as he had opened the box for her, and proposing to her,as she nodded yes to him, his eyes widened, he smiled, as he stood up, and took out the choker, and put it on her gently, and then went it did the same to the necklace, he then picked her up hugging her, and spinning her around in happiness, he was overjoyed.

"You just made me the happies man alive....I didn't think I could be happier until now...haha." He said, as he then kissed her lips softly, and then put her down, gently letting on stand on her own, as let her take minnute to take it al in, he wanted to to shout to the roof tops, and such but he was already feeling the adrenaline, from all the  excitement.

Secra stood as he put the jewelry on her, being picked up shortly after and swung around she held onto him. She felt like a stuffed animal in the arms of a child. She closed her eyes at the kiss before being gently set down. It was going to only get interesting from there on out. She traced her fingers along the stones of the choker before letting her cheeks go to a rose pink.

She looked back at Vezux, speechless but still able to giggle at the hard to contain excitement he had pent up. Her heart skipped a beat as she stared only to look back at the people who attended the event. With a soft smile she spoke up finally, "Enjoy the food, there is plenty here." She took a deep breath deciding on if she would return to the table or stand there next to Vezux, she decided to stand.
