"Oh my gosh, those ATV rides was tewwwwww fun." Ariya squealed in the passenger side. Malik continued to rub the inside of her thigh, listening to her yap about whatever and focused on the road.
They just finished their adventurous day and were on the way back to the private beach. Malik had a couple more things planned for her when they got back so he was feeling very nervous.
"Mama?" He said breaking the silence. Ariya placed her phone down on the middle counsel and turned all her focus onto Malik.
"You scared to be in a relationship again?" Malik asked with a serious tone in his voice. She looked down at her nails and back up at him.
"I was, but then I found you." She answered back. He nodded and kept driving. Ariya turned her head to face the window for a couple minutes.
"Wait I'm not your girlfriend?" She asked breaking the silence once again. He kept staring at the road and kept quiet.
"You the air I breathe. I need you to live." Malik said sighing lightly. Ariya nodded her head and turned to look out the window.
30 minutes later ...
"We here baby." Malik said gently shaking Ariya. She woke up and rubbed her eyes. She grabbed all of her things and got out the car. Malik scrunched up his face and got out the car.
"Wassup witchu?" He asked lightly grabbing her waist. She pulled back a little and looked up at him.
"Why something gotta be wrong?" She asked. He continued to stare at her.
She walked off and scoffed under her breath.
"Mann .. ian got time fa dis." Malik said turning around to get back in the car. He reached for the car handle but something stopped him. It's like his body wouldn't let him move.
Ariya Ariya Ariya Ariya Ariya Ariya
Is all he could think about. Malik stepped back from the car and ran to catch up with Ariya.
"Ariya what's wrong with you??" He asked grabbing her arm. She turned around with tears in her eyes. He looked at her, with a deep pit in his stomach.
"What are you crying for?" Malik asked wiping her tears.
"I'm not your girlfriend .. but like I thought I was. And it's ok that I'm not, I just wish I knew." She said shaking her head, looking down at the ground. Malik lifted her chin up and gave her a kiss.
He turned her around by her waist and they continued to walk to their hut. She was confused on why he seemed like he didn't care. Ariya started to feel less of herself, like she wasn't worthy enough to be in a relationship. And it killed her inside because that's all she ever wanted.
They reached the door and Malik stopped them before they walked in. He turned her around by her waist and looked into her eyes.
"I love you Ariya." He said softly. Her face turned soft as her eyes filled with tears, AGAIN 😂.
He turned her back around before she could say anything.

Malik had everything set up by the employees on the site. Ariya could've FAINTED. Her legs felt stiff and she couldn't move. Malik slowly walked her in and closed the door behind them.
"Ariya I knew from the moment I met you I wanted to be with you forever. I don't know what I'd do without you. I NEED you. I really do." Malik said lowly, but loud enough for her to hear.
She still had her back turned to him so she couldn't see. She couldn't even speak. Ariya didn't know how to feel, what to say, what to do.
It might be the "bare minimum" but it was so much more to Ariya than that.
She slowly turned around to face him and he had a promise ring in his hand, with a letter. Her tears immediately fell and she no longer could hold her emotions in.
Ariya broke down into tears and he instantly grabbed her. Malik pulled her into a hug by her waist and Ariya continued to cry (happy tears, obviiiii).
3 minutes later ...
"Ok mama, you've cried enough cmon." Malik said breaking the little cry fest she had going on. She took a couple steps back to take in her reality.
Ariya looked down at the promise ring and the letter. She couldn't make out the words she wanted to say, but she knew how she felt. Her heart was filled with love. A feeling she thought she knew, but she didn't.
"Ariya .." Malik said lowly. She looked up at him at him and fell deep into his eyes. Ariya could see the genuine and love in his eyes.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked moving closer to her.
"Yes." She answered.
