“Ughh.” I groaned as I threw myself on the bed.

I just put the twins to sleep and was looking forward to getting some rest too.

I heard the bedroom door open and saw Von walk in, holding a bouquet of roses.

He just got back.

And he looked so good in his suit, then me... musty in a baby spit-stained oversized t-shirt.

I felt bad I was gonna disappoint him again.

He been telling me about this surprise he had planned for me.

I assured him yesterday that I’d pull through but my body didn’t wanna allow me now.

I’ve been like this since I gave birth two months ago, and I hated myself for it.

“Baby?” He raised his eyebrows and I let out a deep breath, getting under the blanket.

“Please don’t be mad. I’m just so exhausted, and I can’t do the thing today babe.”

“But you said that last week?” he spoke as he sat next to me and caressed my cheek.

“I know, but your babies are so unpredictable. I just wanna nap now while they sleeping.”

“That’s the reason we hired Rita though so you can get some rest, you worrying me now.”

“I’m sorry baby, I’ll a find a way to make it up to you. I promise.” I pecked his lips and pulled the blanket over my head.

“It’s aight babe, you don’t gotta be apologetic.” He joined me in bed and kissed my forehead.

He pulled me close and I laid my head on his chest. I enjoyed falling asleep in his arms.

“Let me run you a relaxing bubble bath, then give you a massage after that?”

I nodded slowly as I drifted off to sleep.

I was woken up by Von placing kisses all over my face and I giggled. I opened my eyes and grabbed his face, kissing him softly.

“Hey babe, are Neesee and Kyree awake yet?” I asked, pulling back and he shook his head.

“Don’t worry bout that for now, Rita will take care of them,” he said and took off the blanket.

I crossed my arms and furrowed my eyebrows.

He just shrugged and tried taking off my t-shirt, but I stopped him. I wasn’t ready to do it yet.

“It ain’t that, trust me.”

“O-kay.” I narrowed my eyes at him but let him continue til I was naked.

He picked me up bridal style off the bed and I flushed shyly.

He took me to the bathroom and my mouth hung open when I saw what he’d done...

He ran a bubble bath for me, and it had cute candles all around and rose petals.

There were also snacks, a glass and bottle of wine, and an iPad that had Netflix on.

“This, all for me?” I looked at him with tears in my eyes and he gently put me in the tub.

“You not gon join me?” I asked and he shook his head, kissing me around my neck.

“I’m at your service. You need this. I would’ve got you a weekend stay at a spa but lord knows you can’t spend an hour away from the twins.”

“Boy did you cheat?” I joked, tilting my head and he laughed.

“Nah, the fuck?” He mugged. “But I been tryna put a ring on that finger for a while now...”

He got down on one knee and took out a red velvet box from his pocket.

I gasped and held my mouth.

He opened it and there was a whole ring in there with a big ass diamond.

I pinched myself and no, I wasn’t dreaming.

“I’ll be yours, and you’ll be mine til the wheels fall off, what you think?”

“Baby, for real?”

“Brianna Lakaela Davis, will you marry me?” he spoke softly and I nodded.

He smiled widely before putting the ring on my left finger and pulling me in for a kiss.

He took a breath. “I know this ain’t the ideal way to propose and I had this whole set up-”

“What you mean? This is perfect.” I cut him off and hugged him before pulling him into the tub with me.
