“Today was supposed to be the day I proposed,” I told her. “And I’ve been trying to think of a million reasons I shouldn’t.” I swallowed hard at the sight of her tears. “Us being fake was the main one. But even if this started as a fake relationship, the way I feel for you is very real.” After handing Flex the empty box, I took her left hand into mine. “Maritza Amaretto, you came into my life and brought with you everything I’ve been missing. Will you make me the happiest man in life, for the rest of my life, by becoming my wife?”
“For real?” she asked sweetly.
I licked my lips and smiled. “For real.”
With a giggle, Maritza nodded. “Yes… A thousand times yes!”
After slipping the ring onto her finger, I stood and pulled her into my arms. Everyone clapped and cheered, but Sakura’s, “Yaaasssss,” could be heard above them all.
We both ended our kiss to laugh at her silly ass, but I quickly returned my lips to hers. A brief desire to thank my parents entered my heart. Without their meddling and controlling ways, I wouldn’t be engaged to the woman of my dreams. The desire left just as quickly as it came. Maybe one day I’d thank them. But for now, I was determined to carve my own path in life, and all I could do was thank God I had Maritza by my side to do just that.
