Bo Bo And Charlies Date With Destiny

Bo Bo And Charlies Date With Destiny

By Paul McCann

 

 After arriving in Australia on their tourist visa , Bo Bo and Charlie set out looking for opportunities in a country that welcomes hard workers . For the very first time they looked at a new world , much bigger than they had ever imagined .

Within the first month of Bo Bo and Charlie arriving love came calling at the  door just by chance . It happened as a result of Bo Bo’s intervention one night when he saw a young lady being harassed by two men who attempted to put her into the back of their car .  Bo Bo saw  was going on and steeped into rescue the poor girl who was screaming for help . The two young men were no match for Bo Bo who was a trained  boxing champion  and after he knocked them both out , the police were called and a report was made with the men being arrested for their attempted abduction .

As it turned out , the young lady was the daughter of as very wealthy man who had no idea of the sinister plan that these two gangsters had planned  . After an investigation the police had uncovered a ransom letter in the home where the two men lived . There were also some weapons and surveillance equipment .

That house would have become a  prison the young lady .  .

The wealthy man was very grateful that his daughter had been saved and rewarded Bo Bo very well  with a large cash payment for preventing the extortion plan .

The thing Bo Bo never expected was for the young lady to reach out personally to thank Bo Bo who sent a chauffeur driven car to the caravan park where Bo Bo and Charlie were staying .

Sitting in the back seat of the limo , was Maria , the lady Bo Bo had rescued .

She got out and gave Bo Bo a kiss on the cheek and said ,.

:My father would like you to come over to our estate for dinner “

It was the very first time that Bo Bo had been kissed by a girl and he was finding it hard to speak , in fact that kiss went straight to his heart and almost knocked him off his feet .

After a moments hesitation Bo Bo replied ,

“Ok , when is the dinner ?”

“Right away , so lets go . Everything’s ready ”

Maria said ,

.Bo Bo told Charlie  he was going out for dinner and he’s be back later “

Charlie watched them both get into the big fancy car and drive away .

.On the evening Bo Bo had been graciously received and treated like a king .and on that evening love had found Bo Bo and also at the same time love had found Maria.

Later in the evening Maria mentioned that she had a girl friend called Lisa and then  proposed that they would go out on a double date with a cruise on Sydney Harbour on board her fathers yacht . Bo Bo who was swept off his feet instantly agreed to the double date .

At the end of the evening Bo Bo was returned back to the caravan park by the chauffeur in the limo . Bo Bo could hardly wait to tell Charlie about the double date cruise .’

Charlie was sitting down watching something on TV  and Bo Bo went and switched it off  and said m,

“Charlie , I need your full attention to what I’m about to tell you .”

“Charlie replied .

“I’m all ears Bo Bo”

“Charlie we are going on a double date . You and me on Sydney harbour on a yacht with two beautiful Aussie girls “

Charlie noticed a sparkle in Bo Bo’s eyes and a faraway expression on his face .

“Bo Bo , you seem a lot different than usual . Did you have a drink of something at the dinner? “

Bo Bo replied ,

““Charlie this is the first time , for you and I to start out on the road to romance :

Charlie replied nervously ,.

“Bo Bo we know nothing about this kind of thing ,”

Bo Bo replied ,.

“Yes and that’s exactly why we need to try Charlie to give romance a run “

Charlie sat there looking into Bo Bo’s face and said ,.

“ But why now Bo Bo . We’ve just landed and are trying to start our own business “

Bo Bo  replied ,.

““:Why is a word that doesn’t exist Charlie , we just do it because we have to :

“:Ok so you’re saying that we are having a date with two girls on a yacht ?

“:Yes Maria and I and you and Lisa “

“On a yacht ?”

“That’s right Charlie on Sydney harbour “

They both sat their in silence for a while like they had drifted out to sea on a boat that sank and they were two cast aways on some deserted island for the very first time .

 

Bo Bo was considering a brighter future with Maria and Charlie was considering faking a sickness to get Bo Bo to and cancel the date .

‘”I’m not sure Bo Bo , if this is the right time to be on the road to romance  “

 Bo Bo replied ,.

So when do you think is the right time Charlie “

 

‘I don’t  know Bo Bo “

 

Bo Bo looked at Charlie and took a deep sigh then said ,

 

“Charlie it’s time we thought about the future and finding someone there who we can share that with “

 

Charlie said ,

“Bo Bo ,I hear what you’re saying but I can’t stop thinking about taking that first big step out on the road to finding romance ..”

Bo Bo smiled and nodded his head in silent acknowledgement and said ,

“Charlie , we have to give it a go . Life is all about adapting and making changes . That’s how we grow and we need to be strong for if we don’t try we’ll miss the boat and end up like two castaways deserted here in life on some bachelors desert island for the rest of our life with no way to get back to the shore “

Charlie fidgeted a little and then he took a deep breath and said ,

“Ok Bo Bo a double date it is ,  May as welt try . Better we try than say no nay never no more I guess Bo Bo . So now that we have learned to read and write , multiply , divide , add and subtract now we have to learn how find romance ?’

“Now that’s the kind of answer I’d expect from you Charlie :. Lets give it a try .”

On the double date Lisa and Charlie got on like they known each other all their lives and Bo Bo and Lisa were completely drawn into the arms of love . On the double date Bo and Charlie spoke about their plans for starting out in business ,

While Bo Bo was talking about outsourcing and advertising their company to secure clients and prospective home buyers  was already talking about marriage plans and how being married he couod become an Australian citizen .

Charlie was telling Lisa all about the company called :Better Homes For You and how he and Bo Bo would be focused on building with good foundations for strong homes in tomorrow’s landscapes and in Lisa’s mind she was considering the prospects of having a double wedding with Maria and Bo Bo .

As the months passed Marias father put up some money for Bo Bo and Charlie to build their first project show home on some exclusive land he owned near Sydney Harbour . Bo Bo and Charlie were enthused and eager to begin .

.They soon began building with quality , honesty , integrity and pride and it showed quickly day by day in the way they worked and in the way they treated those who worked with them on the site .

.There wasn’t a moment in the day when Bo Bo and Charlie couldn’t stop thinking of Maria and Lisa . They were both terribly in love for the first time in their lives an d now they understood what they had to do with their lives and where they had to go .’’

Bo Bo and Charlie decided to do a double proposal of marriage to Maria and Lisa and this was the reason that prompted a date with destiny for the marriage proposals ,

Although this was difficult for them because they had never done that kind of thing before and they we’re exactly sure of how to arrange the setting they both started to  write down a few lines for rehearsing what they would say . They said the words  over and over before plucking up the courage to organise the double proposal day .

Now that things were serios and real Bo Bo and Charie saw that in marriage to Lisa and Maria they would become Australian citizens with a future to live their lives in Australia . The script was perfectly written for a fairytale wedding ,.

The proposal day with the words to be spoken were rehearsed over and over .

Charlie and Bo Bo looked around at many the jewellers for the engagement and wedding rings and although it took a while they found the ones they thought would suit perfectly were assured by the jeweller that the rings could easily be resized if necessary .

Then on the double dinner night , Charlie and Bo Bo were set to ask Lisa and Maria for their hands in marriage ,.At dinner that night in the restaurant  they both looked at their future wives with love in their hearts and faith in their belief with smiles as big and wide as the ocean and in that moment they produced rings with a pearl that shone in a cluster of diamonds and said in unison with Bo Bo

 “Dearest Maria , I remember the fist time I saw you and how O would had laid down my life for you so now I’m asking would you do the same and give me the rest of your life in marriage ?“

And with Charlie  ,

“ Oh as you know Lisa I’ve never been the same since I first saw you  and to be honest I don’t want that to ever to change because the way I  feel for you will never change and no matter how long that will be I’m wondering if you would like to spend that time as my wife ?

They two girls immediately responded with a yes .

From that day plans were being made for a double wedding at an exclusive private estate in Sydney .

Maria and Lisa were so happy to have found a special someone to share their lives with and were busy looking at jewellery and flowers , gowns and shoes while Bo Bo and Charlie were busy looking for boots and suits and rings and cars .

As the wedding day got closer Bo Bo and Charlie became jittery and jumpy  , tingly and flumpy with butteries in their stomach and love in their hearts ,

On the big day Bo Bo and Charlie presented well like two statesmen side by side waiting for the women  in their lives to join them in making their vows of marriage for the first time in the company of others there who had made an appearance to witness a love at first sight relationship with the two couples .

In that miraculous moment of time love was the message that was there for all to see and to savour with the double wedding  that was more than special and the joining together in marriage of them summed up how love should be found and from that day on how love would continue to grow and become more trusting  and  understanding with the hope and expectations for a future filled with happiness for both couples .
