~ Mercedes Third Person POV ~
Mercedes leaned on the hood of his car as he watched Naomi walk out off her apartment building. A smiled formed on his face and he stood up.
Mercedes: Ooou, that's all me?
Naomi did a little 360 as she giggled.
Mercedes: Come on, get yo pretty ass in this car before you get swept from beneath my feet.
He went over to the passenger side and opened the door. Naomi stepped in.

Mercedes drove them about 40 minutes out to an elegant restaurant on the north side.
Naomi: Oou, what's this?
Mercedes: I don't know but it had good reviews.
Naomi laughed as Mercedes took her hand and helped her out the car. They held hands as they walked inside. They were in line with about three people in front of them.
Host: Evening, reservation name please.
Mercedes: Mercedes Brown for 8:15pm.
The host looked through their iPad.
Host: Yes, we have you right here, Mr.Brown. Follow me.
The host picked up two menus then began walking through the restaurant to an empty table.
Host: Here you are. A waiter will be right with you.
The host placed the menus on the table.
Mercedes and Naomi: Thank you.
Mercedes pulled out Naomi's chair for her to sit then sat down himself.
Naomi: It's so beautiful.
The restaurant was majority glass and sat on the sea side. Luckily, they were able to look out at the water. Due to a ferry being right across, the water was lit up quite a bit. In the restaurant played smooth jazz and it smelled of richness and opportunity.
Naomi: How did you find this place?
Mercedes: About an hour of tiktok and google.
Naomi and Mercedes giggled.
Naomi: You dressed up nicely, baby.
Mercedes: And you look as beautiful as always, ma.
Naomi blushed. They looked at the menu.
Naomi: Holy-
She had the catch herself.
Naomi: This stuff is expensive.
Mercedes: Good thing you're not paying then, right?
Naomi shrugged.
Naomi: You have any idea how much you've spent on me since we've met?
Mercedes: Nope and I have no desire to. I'd rather keep spending then keep count.
Naomi: Cash money, period.
Mercedes laughed.
A waiter came over.
Waiter: Evening, may I start you off with some drinks?
Naomi: I'll have a Blue Grande, easy on the ice please.
Waiter: Of course, and for you sir?
Mercedes: Make that two Blue Grande's.
Waiter: No problem. Ready to order?
Mercedes: Ready?
Naomi: Yeah so may I have the oxtail platter? White rice, and broccoli.
Waiter: Of course.
Mercedes: Shrimp and chicken platter for me. Yellow rice as both sides.
Waiter: Yes-
Naomi: No no, make one of those sides a vegetable.
Mercedes looked embarrassed just a little but cracked a smile at her.
Mercedes: Corn as one of the sides, please.
Waiter: Will that be all?
Mercedes: Yes.
Waiter: Okay! Your bread will be out any moment.
Naomi: Thank you.
The waiter walked away.
Naomi: Vegetables get you big and strong.
Mercedes: That's what you gon tell our kids?
Naomi blushed.
Naomi: Our kids?
Mercedes: Yeah.
Naomi: OUR kids?
Mercedes: You not escaping me, hope you know that.
Naomi giggled.
Naomi: Good thing I don't want to, huh.
Mercedes: Glad we set that straight.
They laughed.

After dinner, they walked along the pier near the restaurant.
Naomi: The waves sound so beautiful.
Mercedes: You look even better.
Naomi: You're such a flirt.
Naomi walked over to the railing and looked down at the ocean.
Naomi: Water just goes on for miles on miles.
Mercedes hugs her from behind and puts his head in her shoulder.
Mercedes: I love you so much.
Naomi: I love you more, baby. More than you know.
Mercedes: Over these past few months, you became more to me than anyone before. You make me feel things I ain't never felt for nobody else.
Naomi: For a gangsta, you get real lovey dovey.
Mercedes: I don't know, bruh.
He walked away and put his hands over his face. Naomi turned to look at him.
Mercedes: It's something in me you triggered when I saw you. Even when you acted like you couldn't stand the sight of me. I still wanted you.
Naomi shrugged in agreement. Mercedes walked up to her and kissed her. He held her face and she had her hands on his sides.
Mercedes: Nay, I never want to lose you. I feel like the best way to secure that is to properly ask you to be mine.
Naomi started smiling immediately.
Naomi: Oh you sappy piece of shit.
Mercedes chuckled at her remark.
Mercedes: Naomi Higgins, will you do me, Mercedes Brown, the biggest favor in the world.. and be my girl?
Naomi: Of course, my love.
Naomi immediately kissed him. They embraced each other with all the love they could possibly give.
Naomi: Aye.
She looked at him.
Naomi: Please don't make me regret this. Us. You.
She didn't mean it in a rude way, he knew what she meant.
Mercedes: I'll protect you till the lord calls my name. That's on my life.
