Second Chance

Chapter Nineteen

The tears just started pouring down my face! I turned to Omelly and seen the chasers and my best friends behind me... "Not cool guys!" I whimpered. "I'm not dressed for this!" By this time Meek was at my side with my hand in his. "You look beautiful Nic!" He told me. Pulling me toward the beautiful setting he said, "baby, I'm sorry we had to deceive you like that but I knew that with the time I needed to prepare, your stubborn ass wouldn't come with me." I grinned a bit he knew me so well.  "What's all this Meek?" I asked. "Well baby, you wanted to see my heart right? Well, this is it! This is what you make a young Philly nigga wanna do! I love you so much Onika and I'm sorry if my actions/pride didn't allow me to show it! I dreamed of days like this, prayed for days like this for the opportunity to love you right! This is just the beginning baby if you give me the chance to be your man. And even you turn me down, I'll still love you, still be there for you and still show you how a man treats a woman." He said. He spun me around so that my back was to his. "There's a rose here for everyday for that 3 years we were a part Nic, for everyday I've known you, loved, and adored you" meek said to me. "For so long I was afraid to love you, afraid that you'd realize you were too good for me, but it was inevitable and when it happened I knew I could and would never love another person for as long as I lived. Nic you do something to me! You make me wanna be better for you... And I knew I couldn't come to you the way I was so I took space to be better for you, what I didn't see was that I was pushing you a way from me... I need you to know that there's no one else out there for me! I need you to know your perfect, that I'm not going anywhere. I promise I'll always be in your corner rooting for you, holding you down as you hold me up. I'm going to marry you, put a couple babies in you. I promise to be true and to love and protect as long as the good lord will allow me. Can I do that Nic? Will you let me do that?" Before I knew it Meek was on his knees with a gorgeous canary diamond heart ring. And the tears started flowing. "I know marriage right now is too soon but this here is my promise to be the best man I can be to you from here on out. Promise that you'll never take this off and as long as you wear it you're mine and only mine baby."

"Yes baby."-- "yes, Nic?" He questioned still on his knees. "Yes, I said louder pulling him up and throwing my arms around his waist. Laying my head on his chest I was happy. Like finally! Damn. Meek pulled back and looked down at me. Tilting my chin up he captured my lips. It wasn't our normal kiss, it was slow, and sexy. I could feel his love through his lips. This was all I ever wanted. This! I loved my music and this was my dream job, but all I ever wanted was love like I was experiencing right now with Rihmeek. "I love you Onika!" He whispered against my lips. "I love you more baby!" I told him.  We stood there holding each other, enjoying each other and just when I thought this night wouldn't get any better out walks Ed Sheeran singing "thinking out loud" and let me just tell y'all I was no more good. My baby was so full of surprises! At first glance you'd never think Rihmeek had romance in him. But he did and boy was it sexy. We stayed in each other's arms for sometime dancing beneath the stars. I could stay here forever! I just wanted this moment here for life.

Should I end it here? Or go a little further?
