Persistence

Commit. (Alternate Proposal)

I rolled my eyes and looked around the park, I don't see a trail. I took a couple steps forwards and looked again and I seen the trail peeking from behind the bushes. Aw naw. I will get kidnapped. I'm not going behind there...yes I am. My man back there. Shit, he damn near got kidnapped. I made sure to walk fast through the bushes so if somebody was watching me, I got up through on they ass. The trail wasn't short but it wasn't long.

An huge open area came into my view and a beautiful setup was in front of me. A bunch of clear Christmas lights hung from the trees. The ground was covered with rose petals in the shape of a big heart and in the middle was a foldable table, with some of my favorite foods. A smile was plastered across my face while admiring it. It took time and thought for him to do this and I'm highly appreciative of it. What did I do to deserve such a wonderful boyfriend?

"Aye you late!" He made me jump out of my skin basically, scaring me like that. I sucked my teeth and frowned, turning to look at him. "Fuck you, you had me climbing that goddamn tree like I'm a monkey or something!" I realized how memorizing he looked after my sentence and whew. He smirked and took a couple steps towards me with his hands in his pockets. He was dressed in a black button up shirt, with a couple of the top buttons unbuttoned, black dress pants with a black belt and a pair of black dress shoes. He topped it off with a black hat with the word 'lover' written in white, I don't know why he has it on but he still fine as fuck. "You like it?" He stood next to me and looked around at his works. "Of course baby, I love it. I love you. Give me a kiss." I smiled and lifted my arms, turning to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "You deserve nothing but the best and only the best." He laid his hand in my waist and pulled me closer, leaning in for a quick kiss. I pecked his lips multiple times, not wanting to let go but I controlled myself. Barley but I did. "You look good as fuck too. I'll eat you after we eat the real food." He guided me to the table and pulled out my chair. "Thank you, you know them balls will be in my jaws." I laughed while he sat down and shook his head, smiling. We're so nasty, it's ridiculous.

Awwwww he really took the time to plan all this! I really feel special as fuck. We laughed and talked while we ate, actually enjoying each other without the internet and social media. Old fashion love. "You remember that night we first met and you were all like your don't tell me what to do' and 'I'm about to cuss you out'? You were playing so hard to get and I just wanna know why?" I looked away for a second, thinking. It seems so long ago that we met, man time flies when you're having fun and when your life is falling apart. "I mean I assumed you were a fuck ass nigga. Which you turned out to be but the difference between you and the others, you worked for me. Other men just thought they had the mouth piece that would have my clothes off. Not you tho, you talked yo shit don't get me wrong but you actually show initiative and interested beyond my body. You didn't pressure me about sex either. It happened naturally and I was actually ready." I shook my head and smiled. "Chris I sincerely don't know where I would be without you, probably still in the club. You came and showed me a different side of myself that I may have never discovered. The major, life changing things that's went down, you helped me cope with them and helped me push forward. Oh my god I'm about to cry." I chuckled and waved my hand in front of my watery eyes. He reached over and grabbed onto my arm. "Don't cry mamas. It's okay! I'm glad I could help you become a better you. I know I dragged you into some shit I should've never exposed you to but sadly I can't change the past. My mission when I met you was to pull you from the attitude you were in because it only would've gotten you so far. You can't go through life without someone on the side of you to help you with shit you can't help yourself with. Believe it or not, you changed my life for the better. I would've been into some much deeper shit by now and you distracted me for the good. I could've possibly been dead right now but you changed that for me. You already know I wouldn't want to do this shit-" He pointed between the both of us. "Right here with nobody else. It took me some time to actually realize and understand that but I did and I will not take it for granted again. I've matured some and I'm still working on it." He stood from his seat and looked in my direction.

I'm about to burst out in tears. This is the love of my life and I can't believe it. He's so fine and mindful of me. Why he wanna be with my fucked up ass? He pulled his chair next me me and sat down, patting his lap. I sniffed and wiped my tears away with me sleeve before standing and sitting myself in his lap. I sat sideways and leaned back against him with my face in his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist and planted small kisses along my jaw. "Tell me five things you love about me and three things you wish you could change." He rested his head against mine. I closed my eyes and thought about it. Hm...kinda hard.. "My top five is your thoughtfulness, your smile, your ambition, the aggressiveness and your caring nature. If I could change three things.....maturity level, forgetfulness, and cleanliness. You can very dirty sometimes and it messes with my small case of OCD. The good always outweighs the bad tho." He sucked his teeth. "You know damn well I'm not a dirty nigga!" "I said you can be dirty sometimes, see you only listened to the negatives!" He got quiet and sighed before tapping my back. "Listen, I got something I want to tell you." I sat up in his lap and looked at him. He better not ruin this good ass moment with some dumb mess. He looked off to the side and I could tell he was becoming slightly nervous. Uh oh. "Um well...here, stand up." He basically pushed me off his lap and stood from the chair. I looked at him funny and sat back down, waiting. "So I did all this for a reason. I wanted to reminisce with you so it could take us back down memory lane. We've been through so much shit, nobody could understand it if they tried. Im tired of being your boyfriend and I thinks it time we change that."

My heart sunk to my stomach and the tears were already on their way. No no no no no no no. This can't be happening....oh my fucking god....

He got down on one knee and took his hat off, tossing it on the table and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small black box that had 'SB' carved into it. "You know how this shit go already. Will you be my wife and the mother of my children?" He smiled and opened the box.

This can't be happening right now....I'm going to puke...I turned away quickly and leaned over the chair, gagging before covering my mouth. "Senia what the hell!?" He pushed my leg. I swallowed hard and turned back around. Of course I want to say yes, but for some odd reason my mouth won't let me. "I'm okay, I'm good. I'm just overwhelmed." I fanned myself and turned back to him. Boom, the damn ring was in my face again. It's so fucking beautiful bro.

"Will you marry me?"
