For The Road

Chapter 34

Once Andre and April left I settled Layah down but she wouldn't go to sleep. I feed her, gave a bath and rocked her to sleep. It hit 8' clock and Tyler walked inside the house.

"Hey," he kissed me. "Hey darling," he said bending down to Layah.

"She wouldn't go to sleep," I said. He picked her up and he raised her up and she smiled.

"Layah why wouldn't you go to sleep?," I clean up the house. He rocked her to sleep and she fell asleep.

"Are you serious?," I say.

"Like I said Daddy's Little Girl," I rolled my eyes at him and he put her in the crib. He sat down and rested his head back. "Babe?,"

"Yeah?,"

"You wanna give me a massage," he asks. I look at him then shake my head. Of course I give in, he takes off his shirt as I start massaging his shoulders.

"What happened to his car?," I ask him.

"Uhm , he had, this thing-,"

"WAH!," Layah cuts him off with crying. I get up and rock her back to sleep.

"What were you saying,"

"Nevermind baby," he said putting his shirt on.

Having a baby is hard work, never thought it would be this hard. Layah is healthy and is still a Daddy's girl, but tonight is our anniversary. His mother is going to watch Layah and we are going out, I already got his gift. I didn't know if he would like colgne or shoes.

"Hey Diane," I said hugging her.

"Hello," I handed her Layah and her diaper bag.

"Okay so I got her bottle, lostions, diapers, wipes, "

"Bye mom," Tyler says dragging me to the car.

"Bye!," I get into the car and I sit down. 

"Baby promise me that you wont be stuck on Layah tonight is us," he says.

"I promise," Tyler and I were talking and talking, we pulled up on a nice restaurant. There was a long wait, I had to be millions of people out there. Tyler opened the door for me and helped me out of the car. "Thank you sir," he closed the door behind me and we walked to the front of the line.

"Your welcome my lady," I held his hand and he lead me to the front.

"Reservation for 2,"

"Name," the waitress says.

"Tyler," he says.

"Okay follow me this way," she says. There's candles and wine glasses, there was bread rolls set out. I sat down and Tyler across from me.

"Wine or champagne,"

"Wine," I said.

"I'll have water," She nodded and walked away. 

"I haven't had a drink seems like years," I said.

"Glad you didn't,' he said. She came back with our drinks, and poured into our glasses.

"Cheers to us," I said clinging our drinks.

"Cheers," he said drinking. I can feel his eyes on me, glued. I blush and take a bread roll, I slip off my heels and run my foot up his leg.

"You really want another kid?," he says. I laugh and drink all of my wine.

***

"Thank you," I said walking out of the restraint. He lead me to the beach and I took off my heels and let the sand fall between my toes. We walk a little farther and I see rose petals leading to heart shaped candles. I look around to find Tyler, I turn straight and Tyler is kneeling on one knee.

"Baby we been through a lot of things, you might say Im rushing into this," I start crying and covering my mouth in shock. "But I always told you that you will be Mrs. Morris, that was always a dream. Lets make it reality, Rosalyn Kamryn James will you marry me," he says holding out the ring. This isn't real, I pinch my shoulder. Wake up from this dream. He isn't asking me to marry him. This isn't real. "Well?," he says.

"Yes," I cry but laugh. He picks me up and smiles, I hold his face and kiss him. "I love you," I said. He grabbed my hand and slipped the ring on my finger, right next to my promise ring.

"I love you too," he says, I kiss him slowly.
