New Life

14|Q & A [pt 2]

"I'm...I yes, yes I'll marry you!" Janet smiles as a few tears roll down her cheeks. Jermaine slides the ring on Janet's left ring finger, stands up and wipes the tears that have fallen. Janet laughs through tears, hugging Jermaine. "I love you."

"I love you too baby." He says before kissing her. Breaunna runs out from her hiding spot and does her best to wrap her small arms around both Janet and Jermaine.

"I'm glad you said yes mommy!"

Jermaine looks down at Breaunna, "I got something for you..." He pulls the necklace box from his jacket pocket.

"What is it?" she asks excitedly.

"Well it's something I'm sure you'll love..." he opens the box.

She gasps in complete shock. "That's the ladybug necklace I saw when we went to the mall!"

"It sure is and this," he says putting the necklace around her neck. "Means that you are my princess forever." Breaunna hugs Jermaine then looks at her new necklace.

"Where did you disappear to missy?"

"I was over there," she points "with grandma and Aunt Rebbie, I didn't really go anywhere..."

"That's why she told me to come look at the fountain with you? Y'all set me up!"

"Well, dad said we couldn't tell you... Sorry."

"It's okay, Bee."

"We should get back inside there before we get questioned," Jermaine said.

Breaunna remembers something. "I have a question."

"What's your ques-?"

"Yes it's a secret," Janet says cutting Jermaine off.

"How did you know I was gonna ask that?!"

"Easy, you are my baby, I've known you all your life so sometimes I know what you're going to say or do," Janet says nonchalantly.

"Oh." Breaunna shrugs and runs inside.

Jermaine takes Janet's hand in his once more, "Dance with me?"

"I'd love to," she answers as they walk inside.

They went inside and almost as if on cue "Love You More" by Ginuwine began to play. Immediately Janet looked toward where the deejay was and back at Jermaine, narrowing her eyes. "Did you tell them to play this?"

"Nope." he lied. Janet could tell when Jermaine was lying and she decided to let it slide. This time.

She was ecstatic Jermaine asked her to marry him. Even though she said she'd marry him she was still really nervous about it. With the track record she's had in the past she was afraid to lose what she had in Jermaine. The pair danced the night away while talking and laughing. Everybody left the party and went their separate ways.

"Mommy I'm going to bed."

"Good night baby."

"Sleep well, princess."

"I love you guys."

"We love you too." Janet and Jermaine cooed.

A few minutes after Breaunna goes upstairs Janet and Jermaine decide to go up as well. Unable to actually fall asleep they lay in bed and enjoy each others company.

"I love you so much."

"I love you more than anything you can ever imagine." Jermaine looks into her eyes.

"You are the best, you know that?"

Smiling lightly at her, "I actually didn't know that but thanks for telling me and that means a lot coming from you."
