"Will you join me?"

I ask her as I get up, her eyes are focused on my abs or rather what is below my abs. I chuckle and she looks away

"It's yours if you want it"

I say with a cocky smile which makes her cheeks heat up. I smile and hold my hand out

"Join me for a shower, I promise I won't do anything to you"

I say honestly and she takes my hand and slides out of the bed

"Don't worry I trust you"

She says as we make our way to the bathroom

"Why did you cut the hair?"

She asks when we walk in

"I needed change"

I say and she nods

"You miss the locs?"

I ask and she smiles

"Sort of but you look grown and mature... either than the tattoos"

She says and I chuckle

"Why do I sense judgement?"

I ask and she shrugs

"There's no judgement here. Just that I never imagined you with tattoos"

We wait for the water to fill up in the tub while we brush our teeth

"I don't know, they addictive. You get one and then you find yourself getting another and another... I don't know"

I say honestly and she nods

"They suit you though"

She says biting her lower lip looking super cute. We finish brushing our teeth and then get inside the tub

"You goin smell like a man today. Hope your mom won't mind"

I say and she blushes

"I need to call her ASAP! I've never spent the night away from home"

She says and I chuckle

"Mommy's little bird has finally grown some wings and is learning how to fly"

She giggles

"Whatever. I guess it was bound to happen at some point"

She says

"If I asked you to marry me what would you say?"

I ask and she looks up at me same time, we sitting in the tub facing each other

"Huh?"

She says and I chuckle

"It's just a question"

I say and she shrugs

"I don't know if I'm ready for marriage yet but I would like to get married some day"

She says and I nod

"So marriage is in the books for you?"

She nods

"yes but all in good time. For now I'm just focused on work and my family"

She says

"I respect that and I won't rush you. When you ready, say the word"

I say and she frowns

"You want to get married?"

She asks and I nod
