I stood there in shock, unil I heard it again.

"Ms. Nia Jayy?" The guy from outside said.

A flow of relief came through me. I walked to the door and looked through the peep hole. It was a older black man in a suit.

As I slowly opened the man looked me dead in my face unil I opened the door all the way.

"Yes, Ms. Nia Jayy?" He said.

"Yes?" I said back awkwardly.

"Your ride awaits you." He said as he reached for my free hand.

He showed me the off white colored limo that sat in front of the house. The whole way there I was sooo nervous, so I kept making small talk with the driver and peaking in his gift bag and doubting that this gift was going to top his.

We pull up to a nice lavish place. Then opened up the door was a short young boy.

"Welcome to Rooftop." The boy said as he grabbed my sweaty palms.

As he led me in, I felt myself gripping harder and harder onto Alex's gift. I stepped into a building searching for Alex's bright face.

"Ma'am." Someone said from behind me. "This way."

He showed me to an elevator and sent me to the roof.

"He bares a great surprise." He said happily as the metal doors closed.

"This is beautiful." I said to myself as I step out side the elevator.

Right in front of me stood a nervous and spiffy looking version of Alex. He had in white tunnels (gauges), his hair looks perfectly redone, and he was dressed in flannel shirt that was rolled up to the elbow ( that showed his tattooed sleeves ), some grey skinny jeans, and some brand new vans.

"You look amazing." We both said to each other.

"No your beautiful." He said stepping closer.

I smiled really big, "Thank you. But I have to say you look like you just stepped out of a grunge magazine, and I really like that." I said stepping closer.

A guy walked up to Alex and whispered something into his ear.

"Yeah man, I gotchu." He said with a smile. "Oh yeah."

He ran over and pulled out my chair for me.

"Thank you baby." I said as I sat down. "This place is amazing!"

"An amazing place for an amazing girl." He smiled a corny smile.

"You are so corny Alexander Starr." I said. "But thats why I love you so much." We got lost in each others' eyes, until I broke the silence.  "Oh, here you go!"

I said passing him his gift. He opened it and his eyes shot open.

"A rolex baby!?" He yelled.

"Shhh!" I said laughing. "I had to pull a lot of strings for this but it was worth it. And I got you more things at home." I said with a wink and a smile.

(Even though my boss sold it to me for only 400 dollars, since I promised to work over time at the tattoo parlor.)

"Baby, damn ..." He sat speechless. Then leaned in and gave me a soft kiss. "Here's your gift."

He slid me a box that read 'Tiffany' on it. I know he did not get me a Tiffany necklace!!! I opened the box to find a $5 bill and a note that says I.O.U on it.

As I looked up a Alex's serious face, then looked back at the box. I jumped too feel something cold around my neck. The short guy from the front had place a necklace around my neck. I looked up at Alex's now smiling face with eyes full of tears.

"No baby. Don't cry." He said laughing.

"Okay, I'm not." I said still about to cry. As I stared at him still chuckling, tears started running down my face.

"No baby ..." He said as he wiped the tears from my face still smiling and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"Okay, serious time." I said as I took a dramatic breath in and out.

He laughed again.

"Shut up." I said jokingly.

"Well while your still crying I might as well show you your other gift." He said as he took a deep breath; and softly yelled "Waiter." As soon as he said that, the lights dimmed and the band started to play smooth jazz; then bam! All eyes were on us.

"For you sir." He handed Alex two fortune cookies on a silver platter.

"Nia?" He said. "Here is one for you and one for me." I felt everyone's eyes burning a hole through me.

He stood there and stared at me as I opened it. When I finally got it open it had a ring in it.

"What, this is wierd." I said as I read the paper out loud.

Nia. Will you marry me?
