"I have an idea of what I want, what she will like too" I tell the jeweler as I stand there browsing engagement rings. I'm actually going to do this. Again..
I take a closer look at the ring I spy immediately and pull it out. This is it. She's gonna love it. I hope anyways. Shit I'm really doing this.
I hand the ring over with her size I'm hoping is right and take a deep breath. This is happening. I take a seat and wait for them to bring me the correct one.
Five minutes later the man comes back out holding the ring in a little black box and I jump up to see it again. I grin looking at it imagining it on Sasha's hand.
"Cash or card?" he asks walking over to the check out.
"Card mate" I tell him and tap it on the machine. That's a chunk out my bank but she's worth every penny.. Thousands of pennys..
Walking out I slide the box into my pocket and pull out my phone.
"Liam, I brought it.. Should I wait?" I ask him soon as he answers.
"Yess bro. I thought you was chickening out. Just do it when your ready to. No rush if your feeling pressured just wait for the right time. It'll come" he tells me and I take a deep breath. He's right.
"OK. I'll plan it perfectly, another thing. I need a nanny brother. Sasha's at work alot and I'm working more.. Its getting difficult" I tell him sighing and he chuckles.
"Sort one then, your a big boy Jason" he tells me and I sigh again.
"You found Becky. I need one like her. You'd be better.. Please brother" I beg and he laughs down the phone. Dick.
"OK, OK. I'll look around" he says and I grin happy. Thank god.
"Thank you brother. Need to go gotta plan" I tell him and he hums and we hang up. I might need your help if this doesn't work out.
I walk into a cafe with Lexi and put in my order.
Chicken nuggets and chips and a cheese burger and chips with drinks.
I take a seat putting Lexi in a chair next to me. She takes her monkey and holds it 8n her arm tightly while she holds her tablet.
"Ben and Holly, daddy" she says pointing to the screen smiling and I watch a little with her happily. Our food arrives and she puts the tablet on the table and starts to eat.
I pull out my phone and look at restaurants for the first part of the night.
I scroll through so many untill I finally find the perfect place with a romantic setting. This is it. The reviews are great and the place looks perfect. I book a reservation for Friday night giving myself two days to prepare myself. I hope Becky will have Lexi for the night. I finish eating my food watching Lexi now and then enjoying her food whilst watching her program."Let's go to the beach princess" I tell Lexi and she jumps down ready to go. Laughing I put money on the table and put her into her stroller.
"Let's go daddy" she says clapping and I can't help but laugh. I love my sassy princess.
Walking down the street I turn onto the beachfront and find a hunt selling buckets and spades and buy two.
I continue walking and take Lexi out the stroller and she falls walking on the sand making me laugh. Yeah it's hard work baby girl.
"We'll play here princess" I tell her making it easier for her.
She sits down and wat he'd the bucket. I show her how to do it and give her it to take over.
"pat the top and pull the bucket up slowly baby" I tell her and she does as I say and we made half a sandcastle.
"Good girl princess. Let's do some more" I tell her and she claps filling the bucket back up again.
After a little while i look around seeing an ice cream van.
"Ice cream princess?" I ask her and she jumps up.
"Yes please daddy" she says taking my hand and pulling me quicker to the van.
I order two ice cream cones with sauces and sprinkles and hand one to Lexi hoping she doesn't drop it. We make it back to where we were playing and she sits and eats happily. I wish Sasha was here enjoying the day with us.
"Do you want Sasha to stay forever princess?" I ask her wanting to know.
"I love mummy, Stay forever" she says with ice cream all around her mouth smiling. So cute.
"Then daddy will make it happen baby girl" I tell her and she nods grinning. I hope anyways.After a long while we leave the beach and make our way back to the car.
Lexi has fallen asleep in her stroller. She loved the sand. I'll try her in the water next time. It's not like the swimming pool. I hope she loves it like I do.
Arriving at the car I put Lexi in to her car seat buckling her in then the stroller into the boot.
I climb in and pull on my seat belt and start the car pulling off.
My phone starts ringing over the speakers and I answer it.
"Sasha baby, you OK?" I ask her smiling.
"Yeah baby, I'm on my way home. Picking up a Chinese on the way. That OK?" she asks and I smile.
"Whatever you want baby. Lexi's asleep we're on our way home now. Won't be to long beautiful" I tell her looking at Lexi through the rear view mirror.
"OK baby see you soon. I love you" she says making me smile.
"I love you too baby, bye" I tell her and we hang up. I really hope she says yes. She has too right?
