"What?" Looking shocked.
"I wanna marry your daughter, I know it hasn't been that long but I love her and I wanna spend the rest of my life with her," putting it all out there. I hope she says yes, I don't know what I would do if she said no.
Actually I do, I would stay around until she said yes. "You don't have to give me an answer right now but ple..," getting cut off. "Yes I give you permission," smiling at me.
My eyes pop out of my eye sockets, if I could do a backflip right now I would. "Really? Is it really okay?" Making sure she's not joking with me. She laughed and nodded her head, "Yes it's okay, I haven't seen her this happy in a while, it's nice."
I give her a big hug and thank her, "I promise I'll take care of her," grinning hard as hell.
"Oh you better because I will take a flight and beat yo ass," giving a tight lip smile. I have no doubt that she will, "Got it, now I also want your help picking out a ring," kinda scared.
Waving her hand around, "Of course, we can go looking now or later if you like!"
We should probably go later, knowing Akira, she's probably going to take a nap when we get back home. "Okay later it is, 5 okay?" Making sure it's a good time.
We finished talking and making plans then headed back to where Akira was. She looked at us suspiciously before speaking up, "Where did you two go?"
I was about to come up with a lie before her mom spoke up, "To mind our business now let's go, I'm tired." Akira was shocked, "You're just rude but I could go for a nap." She is always taking a nap, my little sleepy baby.
We left the mall and went back to Akira's apartment, which I need to hurry up and move her into my place asap.
2 hours later, Akira was asleep at home and her mom and Janet(her mom) and I were out looking for a ring. I want this ring to be perfect and that means bringing the person who knows her best.
"So do you know what type of ring you're looking for?" Janet asked as we walked into a jewelry store.
"Honestly, I have no idea I just want her to live it," nervously. One of the workers came from the back and greeted us, "Hello, what can I help you with."
"Where here to find a ring so he can propose," looking at me. I was too busy looking at rings in the showcase. I knew for sure I wanted to get her a gold ring since she always wears gold accessories.
The worker nodded her head and pulled out a couple of rings for me to have a look at. Some were okay and some were just not good enough for my woman. I can tell her mom wasn't feeling them either just by the look on her face.
"Do you have any gold rings? She really like gold accessories!" Telling her. "Yeah of course, is there anything specific you're looking for?" I looked at Janet and was basically pleading for help.
She told the lady no and we continued to look at rings. After almost an hour, we find the perfect ring that we both like. I add a couple more details to it and it's perfect, Janet thinks so too.
After getting everything set and paying, we left and headed back to the house. We definitely stopped to get food and we got Akira some too because she'd have an attitude if we didn't.
We get to her apartment and Akira is wide awake. "Where were y'all at?" Standing with her hand on her hip. We both just froze, then Janet spoke up, "Girl mind yo business, now let's eat we brought food."
Akira looked at me and back to her mom then rolled her eyes and took her food to her room. I know she's irritated but it'll all be worth it in the end. Whew, today was a good day.
╚»★«╝
It's Sunday, the next day and Akira and I just dropped her mom off at the airport. Janet whispered in my ear to wish me luck with the proposal and to tell her how it goes. I thanked her for everything and gave her a hug before she had to leave.
"It was good seeing my mom again, I'm glad that she likes you," buckling her seatbelt.
"Yeah me too," pulling off and heading home. We stopped by the grocery store first because I'm tired of eating out so I'm cooking tonight. We got back to the house and I started putting food away that I wasn't going to need tonight.
Akira grabbed her snacks and sat on the couch, turning on some vampire show. Honestly most of the shows she is watching are actually interesting. Except for when she is watching reality tv, she thinks she is in the damn show.
Anyway, I start setting everything up and getting ready to cook. I was making chicken and shrimp alfredo and homemade garlic bread. Nothing too serious, just something to fill us up.
While cooking, I thought I'd ask her to move in with me officially since she's always here anyway. "Amore, how would you feel about moving in with me?" She paused her show and turned around on the couch to look at me. "What?"
"I want you to move in," bluntly stated. She got up and walked over to me, "Where's this coming from? I mean I don't care but still."
I just shrugged, "I've been thinking about it for a while so why not."
She hummed and nodded, "Yeah I'll move in, half my clothes here anyway." I smiled and gave her a kiss.
45 minutes later, the food is finally done with a little help from Akira. I poured us a glass of wine and sat down at the table for the first time. "Since I'm moving in, I'll be at the apartment this week so I can pack," stuffing her mouth.
"Okay we'll be at the apartment so we can pack, got it."
She furrowed her eyebrows, "No me, not we."
"I said what I said," taking a sip of wine. "No," shaking her head, "you need to be here getting ready so I can move in, I'll call you if I need you." Before I can even say anything, she tells me it's not up for discussion and goes back to eating.
I just let out a deep breath and said okay, there's no point in arguing with her. We finish up eating, I take our plates and go to wash them. Afterwards I went upstairs to take a shower and get in bed.
Tomorrow I'll take her ring to work and put it in my desk drawer because if I keep it here, she'll definitely find it. Damn she really finna be Mrs. Tarantino, Akira Tarantino, gotta nice ring to it hehehe.
