I can't believe I'm doing this

I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm sweating bullets here, I feel like I'm going to slip out of my shirt any second now.

It can't be that bad, I would have to face him one day and I guess today is the day.

It has been a wonderful 4 years and it's time to take it up a notch.

I walked up to his office door and took a deep breath. I knocked on his door, with power and confidence, but politely.

"Come in," he said dryly. I slowly opened the door. I walked in and stood before him. He raised his head to look at me. He seemed surprised.

"Lorenzo, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to talk to you" he motioned for me to sit down and I did.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Okay. I've been with Valerie for 4 years now and I love her. I am in love with her and I know you're like a father to her and you mean a lot to her, and I would mean a lot to me if  you'd give me you're blessing, to marry her."

He stared at me and I got scared for a second.  He started approaching me, but I didn't allow myself to become intimidated. When he was standing in front of me I looked him directly in the eye. Before I could fold, Giovani's face morphed into a huge smile. Before I knew it, he pulled me into a tight hug.

"Of course you have my blessing. You've lasted this long, why not tie the knot" he pulled away and I stood there in shock, I didn't think he would approve.

"I wish you could stay and talk more, but I have work to do" I nodded and was about to leave but he stopped me.

"Lorenzo, promise me that you'd take care of Valerie" I nodded one last time before I left.

That's funny, I already made that promise, to Ms Warren and I don't plan on breaking it.
