Tamika's POV
Watching him turn the lights off, he powers on the tv to give the dimmed room effect then sit in front of me on the bed.
"So.... What are we talking about?" I ask.
He smiles.. "Firstly, you're beautiful, and if yuh think yuh bad mek mi hear or see the word Tamiko again."
Hearing that I begin to laugh and slap his legs. "Come on.. be serious"
"Alright.. let's talk about what marriage means to you." He completely catches me off guard with that.
Umm..
"To me, marriage is a commitment to love and support someone for the rest of your life, like... A partnership where we work together and create a life that we both want."
"Ok... But why can't we just do all of that without the ceremony?" He asks and I am tempted to hiss.
Kinda question that?
"Dominic.... Fine you don't want to marry me.. and mi nah guh force yuh because I don't think I need to.." I answer and he sighs loud.
"Talk we a talk.. zeen.. suh loose the attitude and answer the question.." he says, in a definitive tone.
Mtchhhh.
"What was the question again?" I fold my arms and ask.
He closes his eyes and exhale before saying, "Why can't we do whatever you said earlier without a ceremony?"
"We can.. well others can but not me... It's the day I've always wanted to happen, walking down the isle to the love of my life, my father hold me as we walk, bawling his eyes out because his baby girl is getting married..."
Know dem way deh.
He chuckles, "But Tamika, me come to you and say, I'm not ready, but I want to build my house for my family starting from now... Key words, my family.. I want to ensure that if anything should happen to me or whatever, You guys have a roof over your head and money in your pockets... Suh mi nuh under how marriage should affect that.."
I fall silent.
I wasn't thinking about it like that.
The conversation we had in the day was what threw me off when he showed me the blueprints.
"When you say...."
"When mi say it like that yuh cya see why yuh did a fuss about doing something like this without a ring right?" He cuts me off and I roll my eyes.
"Let me talk.. "
"Alright, talk.." he holds my hands then continue.. " Mi a listen, because I really want to understand it from your point of view before anything."
Suh if wah mi say nuh mek sense to him.. house still ago build ?
Ee?
