The Proposal

LEARNING THE ROPES

Jerome's POV

"Finally we're alone" I whispered in Rebecca's ear as I snaked my hands around her curvaceous waist and I swore I felt her cringe. No matter how hard she tries to deny it, I knew I had this effect on her. I brought my hands higher and slightly caress her sides until I reached the twins that always drives me insane. I dug my lips unto her neck and she made a slight moan. She's killing me by doing nothing! I pressed my lips on her neck and pulled unto it making sure that I leave a mark on my territory. "Stop" She whispered in agony and I knew she didn't want me to. "Are you sure?" I asked still pulling onto her skin. When she didn't respond I spun her around and her eyes were closed with her teeth pressing against her bottom lip. "Are you?" I repeated looking in her sparkling black eyes as she slowly opened them. "No, but I had to stop you" she finally spoke then pressed her lips against mine. I held her closely so I could feel every movement her body makes. "Save it for the honeymoon!" We quickly broke apart from the suffocating kiss. Sabrina, Rebecca's sister interrupted our moment. "I can't wait another year" I whispered for only Rebecca to hear but she pretended as if she didn't then left me in the kitchen.

"Thanks for dinner Mom and fiancé." I thanked both ladies. "And thank you Sabrina for ruining my lucky night" I spat at the sister. "You're always welcome son" Mrs. Sterling answered. "Becca, walk him out" Mrs. Sterling warned Rebecca. I saw Becca cursed under her breath and I chuckled. She hesitated but followed me to my car anyways. "Why are you avoiding me?" I finally asked her. "Am not" She answered fiddling with the hem of her blouse. "Do I make you nervous?" I asked smirking. "What? Don't be ridiculous." She chuckled. I came closer to fill the gap that was in between us. When I was a mere few inches away from her face she bowed her head. I used my finger to lift her chin until her eyes were fixed with mine. She is the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on. I think am the luckiest guy in the world. I felt her chin tremble. I can see I make her knees feel weak. Wow! I thought I was the only love sick puppy here. "I would love to have you in my bed tonight." I whispered as my lips reached her ear. She quivered then I threw my tongue inside her ear and she screamed in shock. Virgins. "What?" She looked up at me as she wiped her ear. "Move in with me" I told her boldly. "Why? Why can't you wait until we're...?" "I can't wait!" I interrupted her. "Why are you rushing this?" She asked seriously. It took a while for me to respond. "Am not. Just want to show you the ropes so that you will be the perfect wife." I found an excuse. Truth is, I just want to savor every ticking minute of each day with her because I don't know when I will be gone, never to return. She sighed as she saw the hurt evident in my eyes. I was really about to cry by the thought of me gone, never to see or be with the only girl I have ever loved in my entire 21 years since my mom passed. "I'll think about it. Good night" She kissed me on my cheek and it was strangely satisfying. Just hope she will decide and say yes by tomorrow.
