Ambushed at the Soireè
This is a fill for today’s @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt [#FFF 345 Lush Life]. I do plan on expanding, but ran out of time for the moment.

“To Lush life!” The crowd around them enthusiastically repeated Ty’s words while he clanked his champagne flute against Tony’s so hard that he expected them to shatter. The party was intended to celebrate Lush: a line of luxury consumer electronics that was Stone Enterprises’ latest venture. But Tony had an unsettling premonition that Ty had something else planned as well.
Sure enough, once the toasting had subsided, Ty waved his hands to get everyone’s attention. then dramatically dropped to one knee in front of Tony. “What do you say, babe? Want to marry an up and coming billionaire?”
The breath caught in Tony’s throat - and not in a good way. They’d been dating for less than a year, and he’d seen enough of Ty’s dark side to know that things weren’t going to work out long term. It just figured that Ty would pull a stunt like this, proposing in front of so many important people and backing Tony into a corner.
“Oh Ty,” he found himself replying with a camera-ready smile, “I just don’t deserve you.”
“Well, who does?” Ty laughed, “but I’m asking you anyway.” He took Tony’s hand and slipped the ring on it without waiting for an answer. The crowd clapped and cheered as Tony’s heart plummeted. How was he going to get out of this?
