"Keondre this is beautiful", he opened the door and stepped out onto a beautiful walkway but instead of a carpet it was filled with red and yellow rose pedals leading into a building that was lit beautifully.
"This, is nothing. Just wait til we get to the top"
"Oh okay", he intertwined our fingers together and he rubbed his thumb on my hand and I walked closer to him.
We got onto an elevator once we went inside and I just have no idea what the building is for but I didn't really mind, I was more focused on seeing what was at the top.
"Lalani when I met you I seen someone so special I mean it was different seeing how you were compared to everybody. You had fun but still stuck to what you believed in and you didn't let everybody being the same change who you are and you don't see that too much in the world. I didn't think I'd ever find myself back at church again because that just wasn't me or at least that's what I thought. You gave me another chance even though I messed up real bad. You don't hold grudges and you're beautiful, intelligent and I need you. These last few months were very difficult for me, hearing you're beautiful voice and not being able to talk back. Feeling your touch and not being able to hold you, and even not being able to see your eyes was the worst. You prayed for me and over me and not just me but my family too", his eyes were getting watery and so were mines. We were still on the elevator which he stopped.
"People want a trap Queen but I want a Gospel Goddess. That's who you are to me. It don't get any better than you and the difference between you and and a trap queen is I know that even when we die, we'll be with each other in Heaven. It don't just stop on this Earth and I didn't think about that until you were here. You taking my hand in marriage is just...I'm sorry this is just, I don't know how to explain with words how much you mean to me. No amount of words can just tell you. I love you is just not big enough to explain my love for you and how much I don't want us to ever end. I just", he was getting tongue tied and it was so romantic and sweet to me and I was just smiling and wiping my tears and I started wiping his too.
"Please just never leave me, I'll make it worth your wild. I just never thought I'd be right here right now. I never thought I'd find someone like you and then you come in and change everything and this is the best life I thought I'd live. You have to stay with me no matter what"
"I will Keondre. I'm happy to be here with you and I love you so much. You changed for yourself first and then you changed for me. You're the head of the household and now that you can stand firmer on your feet I know we can be together and stay strong. We have a rock solid foundation and now all we can do is build up up to the top. Only we can get in the way of that and I love that. Gospel Goddess, but remember there's only 1 God and 0 goddesses or any of that"
"I know baby, but you, you can't be an angel. You too right, you're more than an angel in my eyes and everyone who has you in their life is blessed beyond blessed. Nobody's perfect but when I see you I just think how could it get any better?", oh my goodness he's just making me cry so much. I never thought I'd mean so much to anyone like this.
"And with that being said", he wiped his eyes and started the elevator again. We went to the to floor and the doors opened. It was so beautiful. There was a table on the roof with sand all over the ground. It was set up like a tropical island. It sounded like it and it smelt like it too. It was really amazing. "Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes"
He helped me and I smiled the entire time. There was music playing in the background and I smiled and we just started dancing.
Nothing was said we just danced together. We got closer and closer until we felt each other's heartbeats and they were racing. There was no place I'd rather be than right there at that time.
