His Proposal

His Proposal - 80

I just wished there was a way to save her, but I know that's not a possibility.

"Please, accept some help and enjoy a couple of hours away from the house. I will send Gerald over to shut down the party."

"Will he shut down the party or will he actually join in?"

She shrugs. "I don't know, but I do have a feeling he might join in with the kids."

That's what I thought.

"Okay, I will go to the party for a bit, but if anything happens to Aleysa can you call me?"

"I will." She hugs me. "I will see you later tonight."

Veronica and Ricky congratulate Nate on his Graduation from High School. She tells him that they will see him tomorrow and then they leave.

At 10 pm, the party is going off. Kids are everywhere and red solo cups are filled with alcohol.

Jai pulls a couple apart that were about to pull each other's clothes off in front of a room full of people.

Why can't Gerald hurry up and get here? I don't want to spend any more time with these kids.

Nate walks into the room with a girl hanging off him and he looks at me. "Help me!" He mouths.

I walk over to him. "Where's Teresa?"

He shrugs. "I don't know, but she walked away when this girl decided to hang off me."

"I'll look upstairs." I walk up the stairs and start looking in the rooms. I don't see her in any of the rooms. I walk over to the window in the bedroom that Jai and I shared when we were living here. I see someone standing on the balcony.

Making my way to the balcony a girl turns towards me. I notice that it's Teresa and she smiles. "Hi, Chloe."

I sit next to her. "What are you going here?"

She turns towards me. "Some girl was all over Nate and I didn't want to see that. So, I came out here." She looks at the house. "No one will miss me if I stay out here."

I type a quick message to my brother.

Me: I found her. She's on the decking.

Nate: Stay with her. I will be out in a minute.

Me: Ok ;-)

I put my phone back in my pocket and I wait for him to walk out the door.

Nate walks out the door and he's on his own.

He finally got rid of the girl.

Entering the house I walk to the kitchen. I fill up a solo cup with beer and then walk through the house looking for Jai. I see him sitting at a table with the guys from the football team.

Jai looks up and his eyes land on me. "Come over here, baby."

I walk over to him and sit on his lap. I kiss his cheek. "Nate's outside with Teresa."

"Good for him. He was looking for her, but some girl was hanging off his arm. He pushed the girl into a drunk guy and she started to kiss him. He had a smile on his face when he got a text. So, I'd say it was good news."

"That was me. I helped him look for Teresa. She walked away when the girl started to hang off Nate. She didn't like seeing that. I wouldn't be happy if I saw a girl other than me hang off you."

"You're the only woman. I'm going to have to hang off me for the rest of my life." He taps the ring. "This here is a promise that I will be faithful for the rest of my life. If you die."

"I die," I whisper.

"Why don't we leave the kids to their party and we head upstairs for our own party?"

A smile spreads across my face. "I was thinking the same thing."
