Taurus got back in to his apartment with a bouquet of a hundred red and white roses and a big stuffed bear. He woke up early to get all the gifts he needed to and have time to make her breakfast before she woke up. Taurus has been planning for a while of how to ask Mariah to be his girlfriend. He didn't know how to ask her and his nerves were all over the place because he'd never formally asked anyone to be his girlfriend.
He quickly put a breakfast together: waffles, non-pork sausage, turkey back, eggs, and grits with berries in it. He placed everything neatly on the table and all her gifts in the living room couch.
When he went to the room, he heard she was in the bathroom, so he knocked.
"Come in," she answered. She turned to him with the towel wrapped around her body and her face lit up immediately when she looked at him.
They embraced each other then placed a keeps on the lips of one another. "Good morning," Taurus smiled as he pulled her into hug.
""Good morning baby," she said. "It smell good out there."
"Yeah I made you some breakfast, so when you done, just come out."
"I'ma just throw on some clothes and be out in a second."
Taurus went back out to the kitchen and placed everything on the island to all look presentable. His nerves grew as he heard her leaving the room.
"Before we eat, I do got some I been meaning to do." He handed her a card with a note in it.
*The love you deserve will choose you just as
confidently as you choose it. The love you deserve will fight for what you have when difficulty hangs heavy in the air, it will insist that you are stronger together, that you are capable of beating the odds, that you are filled with the potential to turn your losses into lessons - into seeds that will make it stronger. The love you deserve will be your voice of reason, it will calm the soft creature you are when doubt sinks into your skin, it will build your restless heart a safe place within itself. The love you deserve will love you unapologetically, and that beauty, that softness, will inspire you to believe in the human being you are becoming. The love you deserve will see gardens within you where vou see cemeteries. It will reflect it's vision into your eyes, it will show you the way the world sees you. The love you deserve will support you, it will ruthlessly believe in your mind, it will celebrate your depth of feeling. The love you deserve will be proud of you - not just when you are a shining example of yourself, but also when you are not. The love you deserve will love you, even when you do not deserve it. The love you deserve will clap for the parts of yourself you always used to hide, it will cherish the twists within your soul that others always wanted to untie. The love you deserve will peek into the most profound parts of who vou are, and it will cradle you there. It will not cower, it will not run away. The love you deserve will be your best when you are not your best. It will show up for you in the dark. But most importantly, the love you deserve will teach you how to trust in the timing of your life. How to trust in the fact that it was always going to find you. The love you deserve will teach you how courageous it is to simply have faith in the heart of another, how difficult and messy and beautiful vulnerability can be after years of hurt. The love you deserve will teach you that you were never too much for those you always tried to give your soul to. You were always enough. You were just giving your heart to the wrong people. You were always worthy. Wrote all this to say, the love you deserve is the love I want to give you.*
A tear fell from Mariah's face as she read it and looked up at Taurus.
"I love you for real, Ry. Everything about you, I love. You're my best friend and my soulmate all in one. You quiet, but you vocal. You make me feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and let my guard down even though it scare me because I've had shit thrown in my face in the past. I could go on, but I know you want to eat and I could talk about you all day. I just want you to know the love I have for you don't get realer than how I feel in this moment. I know I said you my girl and I was yours, but you deserve to be asked officially. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked then handed her her bouquet of roses.
"Yeah," she wiped her tears. She took the roses and smelled them before setting it back down.
"I love you so much Taurus. You've done more for me than I ever expected and I'm more than grateful for you. You're the love of my life and the missing piece I needed in this life. I wish my mom or brother knew you because they would've loved you the way I do."
He walked up to her and held her tight as she cried a little more into his arm.
"I got you something." He held her hand as he lead her to the living room. Taurus handed her a mini bag that had Cartier written on the bad.
She reached in the bag and grabbed a medium navy blue velvet box. When she opened it, a light shined on the silver earrings and the matching bracelet.
"I got it engraved on the inside of me saying 'I love you'. Then these earrings are your birth stone." He described.
"I can't even thank you enough. You got me crying and shit."
"You don't need to. This your moment. Let's eat, before the food get cold." They got back up and went to the table.
After they ate, the two went back into their room and immediately started kissing each other. Their emotions were both high right now, everything felt more than perfect with each other. One thing led to another soon enough.
***
"Baby," Mariah tried to wake Taurus up during his nap but he was so tired that he didn't budge.
Mariah went to the living room and took a picture of her gifts with a smile on her face when she posted it on her social medias. They loved showing each other off and didn't care. He'd been doing it since he had her in his video at the party. That's when it all began. He always looked at her as the prize; always proud to be around her and let her lead. Mariah also looked to him for comfort whenever he's around. She was extremely at ease around him, like she needed to be. The old house drained her and ever since she's left, she didn't feel like she was suffocating.
Mariah sat there thinking about how she wanted to do for him in return. She felt like he was doing all these things for her and she wasn't doing enough. At least by now, she had enough saved up for her car that she doesn't have to worry about that.
