Sorry😔😞

Beyoncé's POV

August 28

Today was the day. I didn't think I was moving too fast. I didn't want to miss time with Onika. I know marriage wasn't always a must but to me it meant everything.

If I married Onika, that'd be the ultimate sign of my love for her.

It'd been months since I bought the ring, and it was finally time for me to put it to use.

Onika, Zamora and I had recently returned from a vacation to Spain. We spent the end of summer eating Spanish food and getting closer.

Onika wanted to be in my skin at all times. It was crazy but I also liked it. I felt the same way but I wasn't as clingy as she was.

So my plan was to take her to dinner and propose in private. I was going to take her to my backyard and have it set up for the dinner date. Then when she least expected it, I'd pop the question.

It was a full proof plan.

So my chefs were cooking and preparing the food. It was some fancy ass food I couldn't pronounce the name of it, but I'm sure Onika would've known how to say it.

My door bell rang and I ran to the backyard, so I was already there when she was escorted in. I paid Julius a bonus to bring her back here really nicely.

I stood by the table in a skirt. I knew how badly she wanted to see me in a dress, the best I could do for her was a skirt.

It was a brown skirt that went down to my thighs and it was tight. It was hugging my figure really nice. My hair was down and curled.

Julius open the back door with Onika on his arm. She gasped when she saw the set up. Julius let us be and she hugged me.

She wore a tight black dress that stopped at her knees. I smiled when we pulled away and pulled a chair out for her.

We sat and started eating.

Partway through the meal, I called one of my guards over and he handed me the Tiffany box. I shooed everyone away, and out of my house.

It was pretty clear what I was trying to do. She was on to me.

I stood up and made her stand with me. Then we took a short walk to the middle of my backyard, so we were in the middle of the heart that I had my gardener make in the grass.

"You're not serious." She gasped.

"At least let me get on my knee." I went down on one knee and held the box in my hand.

"Ok. I'll let you finish." She excitedly watched me.

This has to be the most unserious proposal ever because we were laughing the whole time. This is how I knew she was mine.

"Onika Tanya Maraj, I love you. You've been the most perfect, sweetest and just best girlfriend in the world. I'm so glad that you were brought into my life because since then my life has improved. My joys include seeing you happy and I want to make you happy for the rest of our lives together."

I paused to let her process.

"This past year of us being together has been one of the best parts of my life. That's why I'm here on one knee, asking for your hand in marriage. Will you marry me?"

I asked. She was balling her eyes out and I was going to wipe each tear, when she responded.

"Yes, of course I'll marry you." I slowly slid the ring into her ring finger and she admired it. Then she tugged on my hand. I jumped up and hugged her. I held her tight and spun her around.
