[.] Chapter Nine [.]
{.. Marcus ..}
I looked over at Kiery and noticed she had fallen asleep. She looked so beautiful. Grabbed hold of her hand and kissed it. Tonight is the night I’m going to do it. I decided that it’s time to stop. I’m not getting any younger and I know she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. My only problem is that I hope she says yes. I am kind of nervous. I mean I know she loves me, but is she willing to marry me?
We arrived at the Beach. I had made sure everything was set up. When I returned to the car, Kiery was just getting up.
“Hey sleeping beauty” She smiled at me while I helped her out of the car.
“What are we doing at the beach at 1 in the morning” She had a confused look on her face. I pulled her closer to me as we walked to the deserted area.
“I want to spend time with you alone.” I was sooo nervous. As we approached our spot I felt her tense up and heard her let out a gasp.
“O my you did this for me” She said pulling me along.
“Yes I did. Janae may have helped out a little bit” I said and she giggled.
I helped her sit down and I sat behind her. We were sitting enjoying each other’s company. I didn’t realize we had been talking for about an hour. It was a silence that fell upon us. I felt that it was the right time. I stood up and dusted myself down. I helped her up onto a chair. It’s now or never. I got down on one knee and grabbed hold of her hands. I stared her straight in the eyes. I don’t think she knew what I was doing at first but once I got to talking I noticed tears start to develop in her eyes.
“Kiery Baby, we have been through so much together. We have had our hand full of ups and downs. You are the most beautiful woman in and out; that I have ever known on an intimate level. I know I haven’t always been straight forward with you but right now I’m being more serious than ever. I love you Kiery. It’s not just the love we had in high school, It love that has built up over the years and is steady building. Every time I see you my love for you gets stronger. I brought you here for one reason. I know I’m talking to much as it is so I’m just going to come out with it. Kiery Denise Johnson...Will you marry me?"
I reached in my pocket and grabbed the ring. She stared at me as if she was in shock. I felt my stomach dropping when I realized she wasn’t saying anything. I knew it wasn’t the right time. DAMMIT. As I was closing the box and standing up felt her grab hold of my hand. Before I could say anything she grabbed me into a kiss. Never in my life have I felt a rush like that. I felt like we were one. We pulled away and she smiled at me.
“Yes Marcus Ramone Cooper I will indeed marry you.”
I pulled her back to me and held I let her go and slid the ring onto her finger. Perfect. She pulled me back and held onto me tight so I held her to. I never wanted to let her go. Damn I can’t believe I just proposed to her. I am officially the happiest man alive.
“I love you Marcus Cooper”
“I love you to Kiery Cooper”
No one is going to get in our way of happiness.
