Certified Lover Girl

43.

Rylan
Two days later.

"Fuck no. It ain't happening." I said shaking my head. My heart was thumping damn near out of my chest. I had stuck to my word and finished my business. Today was Fallon's birthday and a really big day for us, at least as far as I had planned and Fabian was about to ruin it.
"I have to agree, this is a disaster waiting to happen. And you know he's trying to propose man." Rico said defending me as the sun beamed down on us.
"Look man she's apart of the team. What's the problem?" Fabian asked.
"Is my being here going to cause a problem?" Isabella asked covering her eyes as she climbed out the pool.

"Yes it is. I haven't uttered a word about you working with us to my girlfriend because of everything we've been going through, and you being here is going to insinuate I had something to hide." I said not understanding why Fabe thought this was a good idea.
"Well maybe you should have been more upfront about it. How you ready to propose but haven't told your girl that you got a female partner?" Fabe asked.
"Nigga what? I ain't got no fucking partner. You put her on me for training. The bitch is trained, as far as I'm concerned she works for you and that's it. And you did this shit to spite your sister." I told him as my jaw clinched.
"Everybody just calm down. Bella love you can't be here right now, despite how cool Fabe is trying to be he knows damn well when the women get back that the first thing he's going to do is make sure his girlfriend knows y'all have nothing going on. We don't have that same luxury we need some more time." Rico said.
"Fuck that. Y'all tryna be all calm and shit. Isabella you gotta go shawty. Cus I promise if this shit fucks up my proposal to Fallon everybody in this house gone feel me." I said angrily walking away. Only to get stopped by someone grabbing my wrist.
"You know I mean no harm, I'll leave but you have to tell me that you believe I had no bad intentions by being here." Isabella said.

"Oh hell nah." Jon said.
"What is this?" Fallon asked as the entire group stepped out onto the patio. Shaking my head I took my wrist back from Isabella.
"Who are you?" Sevyn asked as Rico walked to her.
"Baby can we talk inside?" I asked Fallon lowly and she looked at me with sad eyes. "Whatever you thinking it's not that." I pleaded.
"I'm Isabella. I work with them." Bella said.
"Bitch quit lying. What business these grown ass men got with a female? Especially one that look like you?" Jon asked.
"Excuse me?" Bella asked obviously offended.
"She said what she said, she works with us. That's it." Fabian said.
"What you do then?" Nala asked with her hands on her hips.
"Uh I've been training up as a sniper." Bella said. And Fallon gave me an unreadable look.
"With him? With my man?" She asked Bella.
"Yeah but for work purposes only." Bella said her accent thick.
"You been working one on one with a bitch and I knew nothing about it?" She asked me.
"Baby it wasn't like that."
"And you." She said pointing to Fabian. "You set this shit up? I'm your sister." She said as she started crying. Trying to wipe her face, she pushed me off of her.
"And he's your man who you should trust. I told you Fallon this shit is business. Stop being so insecure, that man ain't fucking her." Fabian said waving her off.
"Somebody must be." Sevyn said looking at Rico.
"None of us are fucking her." Rico said.
"I'm not some drug hoe that they pass around, I work with them to provide for myself." Bella explained. Rolling her eyes Fallon walked into the house.
Looking at Fabe my jaw clinched.
"Remember what I said Bruh, y'all gone feel." I said.

Walking past all of her friends.
"'Cuse me." I said going in the house too. Following Fallon down the hall, I had to hit a little jog to catch up with her.
"Slow down baby." I said chuckling. Pinning her against the wall, I looked at her as she avoided eye contact.
"I thought you trusted me?" I asked turning my head.
"I thought I did too." She said.
"So what you don't anymore?" I asked.
"How long has she been working with y'all and you haven't said shit huh?"
"That doesn't matter."
"Oh but it does matter. Rylan she's beautiful. And she's your type and I'm supposed to just believe that for however long she's been working directly under you, that you haven't fucked her?" She asked. Taking a step back I gave her a look.
"Actually Fallon yeah you are supposed to believe that. And you're supposed to trust that I would never cheat on you." I said feeling annoyed. That proposal shit had gone out the door. Now just wasn't the time.
"I did trust it Rylan but what the fuck is this?!" She asked crying.
"It's nothing! What you mean?!" I yelled back.
"Then why didn't you just tell me?" She asked.
"Because we were in the middle of going through some shit. I've been spending months trying to get shit back right between us. I didn't want to add to it." I said honestly.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I really did want to apologize if me being here made you feel any kind of way." Isabella said gaining mine and Fallon's attention.
"Now isn't the time Bella." I said running a hand down my face.
"Nah let her speak." Fallon said. I stood behind her towering over her small frame as she faced Isabella just in case I had to snatch her little ass up.
"Your brother did ask me to come and said he wanted me to meet everybody, since I was apart of the team. But I didn't know it was your birthday." Isabella explained.
"I don't care about that. Did you know he was my man?" She asked pointing to me with her thumb.
"Yes I knew, he told me the first day we met that he had someone, I think it was before y'all officially started dating. But he told me then he wanted to marry you, and that you were going to be his wife. And I feel so horrible for intruding on the day he was planning to propose when he literally told me--" Isabella said rambling on.
"Propose?" Fallon asked looking at me.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Rylan." Isabella apologized.
"Worst day ever." I said shaking my head.
"Rylan." Fallon asked stepping to me. Wrapping her arms around my waist she stood in front of me. "Look at me please." She said.
Looking at her, her face had softened.
"Were you going to propose to me today?" She asked lowly.
"Yeah I was." I said.
"Was? Have I made you change your mind?" She asked.
"Nah. I just wish you trusted me." I said honestly.
"Oh my gosh baby I do, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." She pleaded burying her face in my stomach.
"Fallon the proposal is ruined now." I said.
"Well fuck it baby I still want to be your wife if you will have me. Im sorry." She said crying.
Laughing I reached in my pocket pulling out the box with the ring.
Getting on one knee I looked at her.

"Fallon, will you marry me?" I asked.
"Of course baby." She sobbed, as I slid the ring on her finger. Before I stood up I used this time to pray over her. Pray that our relationship was blessed.
