“Dance with me?” I followed him onto the dance floor as the DJ played “He Proposed” by Kelly Price.
I rested my head on his chest as we swayed to the music. I enjoyed the music, but the beat that filled my eyes with tears again was the beat of his heart. I was so in love with Samuel. I didn’t think I could feel this way about anyone. I knew my heart was safe with him and his heart was safe with me.
I’d forgotten about all the other guests in the room until my father and mother walked over after the song went off. Samuel stepped back, and my father and mother moved in to hug me.
“Daddy, he asked me to be his wife,” I looked into the eyes of the first man I ever loved. His eyes were filled with unshed tears.
“I know baby, he’s a very lucky man,” my father said while pulling me into his arms.
“Mommy, look,” I held up my hand to show her my ring. I felt like a kid at show and tell.
“It’s beautiful but not as beautiful as you. Congratulations, baby,” she hugged me.
“Now you know why we were so concerned about your outfit, Grinch!” Kenzie said while wiping her eyes.
“You knew?”
“He told all of us! So we had to make sure you were right because you never would have forgiven us if you weren’t!” Keeva said.
I lost count of all the hugs and congratulations I received for the rest of the party.

“When doyou want to get married?” Samuel asked.
We had made it back to our house. The party was a success and was still going on when we left. We wanted to spend some time together so we wished everyone still at the part a good night.
Samuel sat at the foot of the bed while I changed out of my clothes.
“I guess we can set a date sometime after Ken and Travis’ wedding.”
“We have to wait on them? Why?”
“I don’t want to take any of Ken’s attention. She’s wanted to be a bride since we were little. She tried to marry every boy in the neighborhood. She wants a grand event, and I want to support that.”
“You don’t want to have a big fairytale wedding?”
“Nope. It’s impractical. We would spend all that money entertaining people when we could take that money and entertain ourselves. Do you want a big wedding?”
“No, I just want you to be my wife.”
“I want to be your wife! I can’t believe you surprised me like that! I had no idea!”
“You had no idea that I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life?”
“Yes, you’ve said that but I didn’t think you would propose to me in front of everyone.”
“Was it a bad idea?”
“Hell no! I loved every second of it! And I love this ring. Thank you, baby.”
“Thank you for saying yes! But I really don’t want to wait until after Ken and Travis’ wedding.”
“I know but you do understand why I want to wait, right?”
I stepped between his legs still wearing my black lace bra and panties and started to kiss him.
“I understand but I don’t like it,” he said while rubbing my ass.
