Dave's POV

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I mean...what the heck is wrong with that woman?

One minute she's running away, crying. Next she's happy planning our wedding.

What's has gotten into her. I was expecting her to put up a fight with her dad and not willingly accept defeat, but she's doing just that. It's like she's given up. Like she doesn't care anymore.

How could she be back to her normal self in less than twenty-four hours. She's almost literally jumping at the fact that we'll be getting married.

What's wrong with her?

This isn't Ivy. It's Ivy but it still doesn't feel like her.

I don't know. I can't quite place it.

"Jules, let's get the wedding planner" Ceaser told Jules after Ivy left

"Of course" Jules asked "We need all the time we can get"

"Dave, why don't you go get Ivy" Ceaser said

I looked at him
"For what?"

"You need to get her an engagement ring. I wish we had time for an engagement party but the wedding's next week. We have just a week to plan the wedding, so I think you guys should go get her engagement ring"

"Of course" I smiled

Wait...why am I smiling?

I sighed.

Jules and Ceaser left while I made my way up the stairs to where I think was her room

"...shut it, Luke" I heard her sweet innocent voice. She paused and then laughed at whatever the Luke guy was saying "You and Jess have to be here though. I can't do this without you guys" Pause. "I don't know yet. All I know is that its next week. I don't know what day" Pause.

I knocked on her door

"Come in" I heard her call

I turned the door knob and pushed the door wide open.

There she was. On her 'queen' sized bed. Her room said a lot of things about her. There was a board on the wall with pictures stuck on it beside her bed at a certain height. Her room was painted grey with her furnitures giving the room some colours. Mostly pink, blue and yellow. Her bed was white.

"Hmm, I'll call you back Luke" I heard her say

I entered shutting the door behind me and looked at her

"Nice room"

Silence.

She just stared at me...oh-Kay, that isn't weird at all.

"Get dressed" I said "We're going out"

"Where to?" She asked

"To get your ring"

"Can't that wait?" She asked

"No" I said

"Fine. Give me a minute" She said getting up from her bed and heading to what I assumed was her closet.

Lo and behold. She came out exactly a minute later wearing a plain black straight gown which did nothing to her figure.

I smiled.

Was she trying to hide behind her clothes?

"Let's go" she said

I looked at her feet. She still had her sneakers on.

"Your shoes" I stated

She looked at her feet, then back at me like I was crazy.

"I have shoes on" she said in a duh tone.

"You don't wanna wear something different?" I asked

I thought girls like heels.

"No. I'm good. Let's go" she said picking up a bag and putting her phone inside

I opened her room door and held it open for her before I  stepped out and closed it.

We went to my car. I opened the door for her to get in. She looked at me wierdly before stepping in
"Thank you"

I smiled before I shut the door and went to my side.

We drove in silence to the ring store. I kept on glancing at her without meaning to.

She caught me once.

"What?" She asked

"Nothing" I said, sounding like a school boy who was caught by his crush

Wait...what?!

I shook my head to get it straight.

I turned up the radio and let the song evade my mind

"...whistle baby, whistle baby, let me know..." I heard her sing along to the song in the radio.

It made me smile.

We finally arrived at the ring store a few minutes later. I got out of the car and rushed to her side to help her out

She got down
"I can open a car door by myself you know" she said

"But I like opening it for you" I smiled at her

She looked irritated.

"Let's go in" I said grabbing her hand in mine and interlocking them.

We walked into the store together.

"Good afternoon sir, ma'am. How can I help you?" The attendant asked, smiling at me

"We're looking for an engagement ring for my fiance" I told her

"Of course" she said "This way please" she led us to the other side of the store that had a lot of rings.

"Honey?" I called Ivy

She looked at me, surprised. I just grinned at her.

The attendant removed a blue velvet pouch from the display glass and opened it.

"This is our latest arrivals" she said revealing gold and siver diamond platinum rings

They all looked so good but I wanted Ivy to choose.

I picked the one which I thought was best and turned to show her but she had her eyes on something else in the display glass. I followed her gaze and saw the silver diamond ring that was being ravished by Ivy. I pointed at the ring Ivy was staring at to the attendant.

She smiled and nodded knowingly.

"Ivy, what do you think about this one" I showed her the one I picked

She looked at it and nodded
"It's okay" she said

"Great" I said taking her left hand and sliding the ring on her ring finger "Perfect fit"

She just stared at the ring I placed on her finger

"Go round and check to see if you like anything else" I told her

She nodded and left.

"Here you go sir" the attendant gave me a red velvet ring box "It's in there"

I opened the box and smile.

It was the ring Ivy was staring at. It had three square cut diamonds. The one in the middle was bigger than the other two at the sides. It seemed like something that would suit Ivy.

"Thank you" I said to the attendant as I placed the box in my pocket and gave her my credit card

I went in search of Ivy and found her at the necklace section trying to act pleased with what she saw. I went behind her.

"Find anything?" I whispered into her ear

She jumped, turning round to face me with her palm on her chest, breathing fast

"Sorry I scared you" I apologized

She swallowed
"It's okay" she said "Are you done?" She asked

"Yea. Just waiting for the receipt" I said

She nodded

"Here you go sir" I turned round to find the attendant with the receipt and my card

"Thank you" I took it from her and held Ivy's hand as I made my way out of the store to the car.
