The Boy Next Door

Chapter 21

Jalens Pov:

Today is a week until graduation and I have something special for Ynette. Im going to propose to her, not because she's pregnant but she's different from other girls. I relized that there aren't many girls or any girls like Ynette, I love her; but I haven't told her yet. Right now Im with Kevin and Jacob who are trying to give me ideas.

"Take her to the club" Jacob said. Kevin and I looked at him like he was stupid, like really nigga? "Don't listen to his ass, he's the one that lost his girl" Kevin said. I laughed at his comment 'cuz it was true. "Fuck you" Jacob said mugging the hell out of Kevin. Kevin laughed and shook his head.

"Anyway, I was thinkin' that I could take her out to a dinner and boat ride at night." I said thinking. I wanted this to be the time of her life. "Aren't you proposing at graduation?" Jacob asked. I shook my head "Yeah". "Alright then, give her some roses and shit and call it a day, if I was getting married I would get a ring, put that shit on her finger and say we gettin married no questions asked." Jacob said. This has to be the most irrelevant nigga I know.

"Just shut up" I said sighing. I know what Im going to do now since they were no help. "Im gonna propose to her, then go out to dinner; I'll give her , her graduation gift--" I was saying untill Kevin cut her off. "Hold up, she get's a ring and gift?" he asked. "Yeah, now shut the fuck up so I can talk." I said annoyed. he crossed his arms and sat back in the couch. "THEN, Im gonna take her on a boat ride with all these lights and her favorite flowers. Finally I'll end the night here at the house" I said. I didn't want to get into details about what I was gonna do with my girl infront of their pervert asses.

They both gave me creep smiles, "What you gonna end the night doing?" Kevin asked while Jacob was behind him imitating sex positions. I had to laugh at that. "Yo chill" I said while my laughing was dieing down. They both laughed and sat down. "Alright let's go get that ring" I said grabbing my car keys and walking out the door with them following behind me.

I went to the same little shop my dad got my mom's ring from. I missed my dad, he died a couple years ago from a bad car accident. My mom never stopped wearing her wedding ring. When we walked into the store I went straight to the big diamond ring I saw. "Yall, come look at this!" I whispered yelled to Kevin and Jacob.

"That's a big ass ring" Jacob said out loud making people look at us. "I know right" I agreed. Some lady who looked to be in her early 30's came over to us. "May I help you guys with anything?" She said looking real hard at all of us. "Yeah how much is this ring?" I asked her before Kevin or Jacob could say something smart.

"Oh the James Allen collection" she said happily. That's not what I asked "How much is it? I asked. "2,899.99 dollars" she said with a smirk. The fuck she smirking for? "Damn" I said under my breath I only bought 1,000 dollars and some change with me and left my credit card. "Aye I know a corner store down the street that we c--" I cut him off because I knew he was gonna say rob the store.

"Don't even finish that sentence" I said. "Is there any other rings below 1,000 dollars?" I asked speaking my budget. "Hmmm, oh! follow me" she said while guiding her finger for us to follow. "This is also the James Allen collection" she said looking at me. I saw a nice ring with a big diamond on it. "How much is that one" I pointed to the ring that I liked. "840.00 in total" I nodded my head in agreement. "Alright I'll take it." I said.

When I got home I went into my room after Jacob and Kevin left. I was home alone so I decided to look into the box that my father left me. This would be my first time looking in there and I wanted to see what is in there badly. My dad also left us equal amount of stuff, My mom got 100 million dollars, his business, and his most favorite car. He left my sister about 4,00 dollars, a check, andkeys to her future car, but she can't open it untill she turns 16 or older. As for me, he left me about 9,000 dollars, the keys to the car I drive now, and an apartment down the street.

He also left me this box. So now Im going to open it. I took a deep breath and open the top of the box. When I looked in I saw stacks and stacks of money, his bow tie he wore to his wedding, a rack of keys to I don't know where, and a letter. I was so overwhelmed at all of this stuff that I had the put the box back on the top. I do know that Im going to find out where those keys lead to.
