to capture a heart

marry me.

Lorenzo Russo

I played around with my hands, pacing around my room to make out the right words to ask Dad. I finally gained the courage and figured out the correct words to use and walked toward Dad's room.

I slowly twisted the handle to see Dad coming out of the shower. He was shirtless and his hair was dripping. Mama was staring at him like they were teenagers again in love.

"Dad I need to um- ask you something." I murmured. Dad sat down looking concerned along with Mama who sat besides him. "I um- I don't know how to say this." I looked down at the floor nervously. My heart was pounding at this point.

"Spit it out." Dad said humorously. "I'd like to ask for Vivia's hand in marriage and would like your permission for it." I spoke awaiting for his response.

A squeal came from Mama as she jumped up in joy clapping her hands. Dad stood up and walked towards me with a serious face plastered. My hands were fucking sweating now.

He stood right before me. Me and Dad were both the same height, 6'3. Fuck why am I thinking about that. "Do you promise you'll never hurt my girl, no matter how many arguments or fights she begins or happens?"

"I promise." I assured. "Do you swear to fulfil her every needs, to such a rate that she'll never come to her papa for anything?" Dad croaked.

"I promise ." I said in a more confident tone. Soon that serious face turned into a massive grin. "You have my permission Enzo."

"Oh I'm so happy for my baby." Mama squeaked as she ran up to me embracing me in a tight hug. She placed a kiss on my cheek as she moved to Dad and kissed him.

"Thank you so much." I gave Dad a hug. It lasted about 2 minutes. Then I left the room. I could only ask her once, and I wanted to do this right. I had a week to do this.

Without her knowing.

I quickly went back home and rang up Kai, Kayden and Colt. "I wanna marry Vivia, and I need your guys help to make this perfect." I explained.

"No fucking way." Kayden gasped in shock. Suddenly all three of them ran up to me hugging me, constantly telling me they're so proud of me. yuck.

I pushed them off me "Guys I need help." I huffed. They all sat down and thought about how to make this perfect. "Have you guys ever had a date?" Colt asked.

I nodded in response. Colt lit up as if a bulb in his thick fucking head finally lit up "Great! take her there on a date, decorate the area and then have it there!"

I thought about it for a while "It's the little bench area outside my Tia's icecream shop." I groaned.

"It's fine, she's a girl they get all giddy over you fucking remembering that you guys even went there as a first date." Kayden chuckled to himself. I made a You're right face at him.

"To be honest, I think it's a beautiful area, my uncle does wedding designs and could help out." Kai suggested. "Which uncle, and give me his number." I said lowly.

Kai stood up walking towards me "The one from Cambodia." Kai handed his phone number to me and I put it into my phone.

I walked away and started to walk away from them. They started to talk between each other about my proposal. I started to dial Kai's uncle and waited paitently as it rung.

"Who's this?" I heard a deep voice growl from the other side.

"Pou Lorenzo, robsa anak nowchoam khnhom te?" (Uncle it's lorenzo, you remember me?)

"A! saamnapv robsakhnhom tae khnhom ach theveuavei samreab anak?" He squealed. (ah! lorenzo how could I forget you, how can I help you son?)

I explained my situation and how I wanted it to all play out, I offered to fly one of my private jets to collect him. He insisted on flying with economy class, he liked to feel like a human. as he told me.
