Today was the day. I had been contemplating this day over the past few weeks, and I knew that today was it. Brianna and I had been talking for about a month and some change now, but we had told one another we loved each other earlier this week. I couldn't go another dreadful day, or at least this entire getaway weekend without officially making her my girlfriend.
I had thought about it all night, contemplating what I would do, even going as far as to ask Jermaine for help this evening. "Nigga, I don't know," He said, moving about the kitchen, cleaning since it was his day. "How would you want her to ask you to be her boyfriend?"
I sucked my teeth, sitting at the island counter. "That's not the same," I told him, watching as he swept some of the floor dust into the dustpan, "Brianna could ask me out through a text and I'd say yes, she means more than that. I want it to be special, Jer. Seriously, help." Jermaine sighed, setting the broom down before looking at me.
It looked like he thought about it for a second before agreeing, "Fine, I'll ask Chloe and Jayley," He said, referring to his older twin sisters as he pulled out his phone. "It ain't gon be cheap though," He warned me, typing away, "My sisters materialistic as hell, but they know what girls like."
"Whatever amount is fine," I said, knowing damn well I didn't want anything above a thousand-dollar budget. I would hate to take money out of my savings, but I would if it ensured Brianna wouldn't reject me.
Jermaine sent the message, a whoosh sound sounding from his phone as he sat it down and almost immediately his phone was dinging with a response from their sibling GC. "What they say?" I asked, nearly hoping over the counter, Jermaine chuckling as he responded to them.
"I hope yo money long like you pretending it is," He said, turning his phone to me, and allowing me to see the messages between him and his sisters:
