She Wanna Ride

Chapter 10

Miamor 

+9:30 PM+

I get out of the shower and let August dry my body off since I can barely bend down due to my very large belly. I put on my bra and underwear and I leave out the bathroom. August grabs my red silk cocktail dress off the bed and helps me into it. I finish getting ready and we leave out, getting into the car. 

We are six blocks away from the restaurant when I look at August and say, "I love the restaurant, the dance studio and the boutique." He stops the car in front of the restaurant and replies, "I'm glad that you them babygirl." He leaves the keys in the ignition and as he gets out of the car, the valet opens my door and helps me out of the car. "Good evening Mrs.Diamond" the valet says as he lets go of my hand and gets into the driver's side to park the car. August intertwines our hands, smiles down at me and we walk into the restaurant. 

The maitre 'de smiles at our sight and says, "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Diamond. Follow me to your reserved table." The maitre 'de shows us to our reserved table and he sets down our menus as August pulls out my chair for me. I pick up my menu and open it as our waiter, which unfortunately is Erica, comes over to our table and says, "Good evening. I am Erica and I'll be your waitress for tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?" She says all of that while basically eye raping August. But as for August, he isn't paying her no mind, he is just looking at his menu and stealing quick glances at me from time to time. 

August puts down his menu and says, "we'll have two glasses of water." Erica writes it down and leaves, making her way to the kitchen while swaying her hips hard as hell trying to get August to notice. I quickly scan the room and am pleased that so many people come to the grand opening. Erica comes back with our drinks, set them on the table and says, "Are you ready to order?" August looks at her and says, "not yet, wait until the speech is over." Erica nods and looks over at me and I see a hint of jealousy and anger in her eyes as she rolls her eyes at me and walks away from our table. August grabs my hand and uses his thumb to rub small circles on the top of my hand as I rub my belly feeling the baby kick lightly. 

5 minutes later..............

August stands up, grabs my hand and walks us to the front center of the room. The maitre 'de hands him a microphone and steps back. August wraps his arm around my waist, puts the microphone close to his mouth and says to everyone, "Everyone, thank you all for coming to the grand opening. Standing next to me is the love of my life, Miamor. She is the owner of this restaurant and the one who made this all come true."

He pauses for a few seconds, turns to face me and says, "Babygirl, we have known each other since middle school. You have been there for me throughout thick and thin and I appreciate everything that you do for us and our family" he gets on one knee, take a box out of his pocket to reveal a 12.4 diamond karat ring "Will you marry me, babygirl?"

The restaurant gets silent as everyone waits for my answer. In the corner of my eye, I see Erica with an angry face and tears in her eyes. I look back into August's eyes, nod my head yes and say, "Yes, I'll marry you August, yes." As he stands up, I see Erica run out of the restaurant, but I don't care. He puts the ring on my finger as tears fall down my face. He kisses me slowly and passionately on my lips and everyone keeps on cheering. 

This is honestly the best day of my life aside from finding out that I was pregnant. But, in the back of my head, I can't help to think of why Erica is so affected by me and August being together. Maybe he used to mess around with her and she was crazy, but I have a gut feeling that it is something more deep and serious than that.
