After the amazing moments at Daphne's birthday party, everyone went home and rested. The next day, a beautiful Sunday morning, everyone by the neighborhood was awake and getting ready for church by 10 am. Michaela's family, they have not found a church yet, so what her parents do, is watch a live church service on TBN and start listening to the word. So this has been happening for a while now.

"What a beautiful morning to wake up, and I have decided to ask Michaela out today, as well. The reason why I could not ask her in front of so many people, was because I was super nervous, and it was on our best friend's birthday, so, unfortunately, the plan did not work. So I am gonna invite Michaela with my family, to church today, our church service, and I guess I will ask her then. So to get the plan working, I called her and said, "Hey, good morning Mel, did you wake up good today? Yes, I did wake up well, thanks for asking. And what about yourself? I woke up well, too. I was thinking if you are willing to go to church with me and my family today, with your parent's permission, of course? I know they would say yes, so I will let you know after I ask them, okay." So after 10 mins of waiting for the response, her mother and her dad had confirmed that she could with me and my family to church. I felt so happy knowing that, and then I ended up, saying, "Okay, we will pick you up by 09:30. See you then. Bye!" I ended up getting straight out of my bed, brushing, choosing a perfect outfit for the service, and put some perfume, and straightening my hair. As soon I was done, I went rapidly downstairs, with a huge smile on my face, and after being greeted by my mother, daddy, and my brothers, they are looked at me, and asked, "And why you so happy, son? Did something happen to you by the party yesterday?" Looking at their shocked faces, I suddenly smiled harder, and then said, "No, nothing happened at the party, it was simply a birthday party. The reason why I am happy is that I have invited Michaela to come to church with us, today. And adding that, her parents have confirmed that she may come with us." Satisfied with the answer that Michael has given them, they all looked back and went on with their business.

"Waking up with this wonderful sunshine in the morning, I could never resist this for anything. I am sitting on top of my bed, not out, and then I get a phone call from Mike. He asked me if I was interested in going to church with him and his family today, so I agreed, together with my parent's permission. So to end the call, I headed straight out of my bed, brushed, set up the bed, and choose an outfit for church. When I was done, I headed quickly downstairs and went to make myself a cereal breakfast. When I was seated down by the kitchen counter, after being greeted by my both parents and brothers, they told me, "You are looking beautiful my dear, are they gonna pick you up? Or must we drop you there? Nope, daddy and mother, they said that they will pick me up, in 30 mins from now. It's already 9 am. Being satisfied with her answer, they said, "Okay then, enjoy yourself, and answer when they are talking to you, okay!" Looking at mother, I said, "Yes, ma'am."

After that, Michael and her family went to Michaela's house, so she could be picked up from them.

When Michaela entered the car, everyone examined her outfit, and one of them, who was Jake, said, "You are looking beautiful, today, Miss Michaela. And good morning to you 2." And then one of the twin brothers said, "Are you Mike's girlfriend, Mel?" I almost burst out laughing until, Michael said, "Yes, Sam, she is, and also is she my favorite person in the whole wide world. I love her." When he said that, I was stunned, and my stomach started feeling butterflies all around it, causing me to blush harder than I ever did when I meet him for the first time. I do not know why, but I am gushing strongly for him, his laughter, his interesting short conversation with me, his smile and style. Suddenly stopped by someone snapping their fingers in front of my face, I looked to my left, we have arrived by their church, and I exited myself, with a gentle firm by Michael's hand, out of the car. When we entered the church doors, I was stunned by the high sailings, and the amazing image of Christ's Cross by the wall, in front of us. I was just going with the flow by the greetings from the fellow people that knew the Washington family very well.

Fast forwarding, it was lunchtime, and time to have lunch. Since Michaela's mother has called her if she would be having lunch there by the Washington family, her mother decided to let her stay there, and then after that, Michael can drop her by her house. So after the amazing lunchtime, she had with the family, it was time to head home.

"It's now or never, say those words and she will accept, but first, I guess she might want to hear why you said those other three words earlier today." After a great lunchtime with my family, it was time to get Mel home safely, so I decided to drop her off. Being a gentleman, I opened my car and took out my hand so I could help her get up onto my truck. When I entered my driver's seat, all I was thinking about was how beautiful she was and how simple she wore. So I started, by saying, "I know what you want to know, on what I said earlier today at the car about saying, 'I love her to my brother Sam, was because I am in love with you, and I have always been in love you since that accident when we first meet, and right now, at this moment, I want to ask you a question." Looking at her, waiting for a simple yes, I said, "Would you like to go out with me, like on a one on one date, nobody else but us. Are you done for it?" Looking by my right, we have arrived at her house, I braked and turned off my car, so I could help out of the car. When that part was over, I could she was blushing through her smile, so she said, "Yes, I would love to go out on a real date with you, Mike. And just to add, you should probably learn how to read people's minds, because I know you knew my answer before you even asked it." Laughing and giggling at how stupid I was, I said, "Thanks for that advice, though. Good night Mel! She turned around by her gate, and smiled, saying, "Good night, Mike, and thanks for the ride."

As soon I have arrived by my car, I just giggled and laughed, knowing that I am in love with the most special person in this world, who is none other but Michaela Vieira Johnson.
