Allegedly Book 2

Dom

This was so surreal. Me and Kev were actually enjoying the first day in our house. It's been so busy the past couple weeks between closing on the house, packing, and moving. Each day kind of blended with the last for real, but today it was like time was finally at a standstill. We actually found everything we wanted in a house. It has a loft in the back that we gifted to Ms Gladys so that she wouldn't have to worry about rent ever again, plus it keeps her close if needed. There was plenty of space and we even have an area we're planning on making into a studio. And here we were, sitting on our balcony at 9am and taking it all in.                                                                                 "So you think we made the right decision?" he asked me as he passed me the blunt.                          "Definitely, I wouldn't trade this feeling for anything in this world." I said to him and he smiled at me for a second. He walked into the house for a moment and I kept hitting the blunt and couldn't help but feel happy and fulfilled right now. He re-emerged with a huge bag.                           "So...I wasn't sure when I wanted to do this, but I felt like now was as good as a time as any. So...I know this is a day early, but I wanted you to have these today." he said as he sat the bag down in front of me and I passed him the blunt. I pulled the tissue paper out of the bag and I saw a jewelry box inside and when I opened it, it was a big bandaid charm inside of it with a necklace to match it. "So the band-aid is symbolic of course. I feel like we met each other at a time where we both needing time to heal, and we took the time to heal each other. We continue to do the same." he said and I immediately hugged him tightly because it was well thought out and I loved him for that. I moved the some more tissue paper out of the way and found a box that I knew for sure had clothes in it. I opened it and found this beautiful black midi dress that had these black peep toe pumps to go with it. "Now that is for where I'm taking you for your birthday tomorrow. I needed to make sure out fly matched." he said and I love how he took charge and planned things out for my birthday. Then he reached in the bag and grabbed out this other box that was oddly shaped. I opened it and there was another box inside. I opened that and there was another box inside. This went on 4 more times, before I seen this small jewelry box in it. I opened it and saw one of the most beautiful princess cut diamond rings I'd ever seen. When I looked up at him, he was literally down on one knee in front of me. "When I asked if you felt that we made the right decision, I could tell by your answer that there weren't any regrets for where we're at right now. Dom, from the day we met, it was like I was drawn to you and that feeling has only grown stronger every single day. The way you are with my sister and the bond y'all have built is amazing. The way you make sure that we keep in contact with my dad and coordinate things. How you keep my mind level when it's in chaos. The way you submit to me even when your mind is in a million places. I love that look you get in your eyes when you're searching for the way to word your next bar. I like how you nervously look at me when you've expressed a deep emotion. The way our bodies are in tune sexually really needs to be studied..." he said as we both laughed. "...but on the real, this is the best high I've ever felt in my life and I'll be damned if I can't feel it for the rest of it. So..." he took the ring from the box and positioned it by my hand. "...Domonique, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" I cannot explain the feeling that overtook my body while I listened to him break all of that down and I felt so silly when I burst into tears hearing it. I don't know why but I wasn't expecting this.                                                               "Yes, I'll marry you." I told him as he slid the ring on my finger and embraced me so tightly, he pulled me up from the chair and I wrapped my legs around him as I placed my lips to his. The euphoric feeling that swept over me was something I knew I would always remember as long as I live. He set me down on the bed and looked into my eyes.                                                                               "Them the only tears I ever wanna see, happy ones." he said as we both laughed. "I just want to do this the right way. I want you as my wife before we bring a child into this world. I feel like that's how your dad would've wanted it for you." he said to me and I swear he didn't know how much that just melted my heart. He was right though, this is the  order my dad would've always wanted for me. "So that makes me want it this way that much more."                                                       "That is one of the many reasons why I love you. You embody all of the qualities that my dad would've adored." I told him and he smiled and leaned in.                                                                              "That's because I treat you like the princess that he knew that you are. And I make love to you like the queen you are to me. I'll always respect anyone that respects themselves and unconditionally loves who loves me. Just know I always imagined my first marriage as my only marriage. Don't get me wrong cuz I know we're young Bae, but I've never been more sure about shit in my life. And as bad as I wanted you to say yes, I wanted to make sure you meant it too."       "I mean...yes we're young but we've both already lived a life..." I said as we both thought about it and laughed. "...and I really can't see myself with anybody other than you. Even with all the people we encounter on the road and all the possibilities that we have, I only want you."
