Marry me? (BWWM ROMANCE)

Question

Opal

'Maybe this was a bad idea' I thought looking at my Calvin and Hobbes wall clock for the fourth time, I had told Brendan to come over for dinner at 8 and it was only 7:45 there was plenty of time to cancel. 'No I have to at least try' I argued with myself, planning this dinner has been hectic on my nerves. 7:46, there is still time to call off this crazy plan, I thought while removing the take out bags from the fridge and preparing to reheat them. "Why in the hell would I tell him that I would cook?" I said placing the now made plates into the oven for reheating. "No I am going to stick to this no matter what" I said placing my hands on my hips I was not ready to give up on my idea.

"Stick to what?" I heard a all too familiar deep voice speak from behind me. I turned and saw Brendan leaning against my counter, wearing his signature cocky smile, and looking unbelievably delicious. Standing at 6'1 he sported his white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and the top three buttons undone giving me a peek at his dragon tribal tattoo on his left pectoral, and he wore the perfect fitting dark denim jeans with black loafers. His hair remained in its long blonde hair in a man bun and had his beard trimmed to perfection, and his sky blue eyes always managed to take my breath away. Yet as always I have to remind myself that we are just friends and no matter what happens that won't change, the realization that this was all we would ever be hit me three years ago but I didn't let it stop me from caring for him. "How long were you standing there?' I asked "Long enough to see your supergirl pose and hear you say you were sticking to something" He answered not bothering to ask before he went to the fridge for a beer. Knowing each other as far back as the fifth grade, meant never asking for something as silly as a beer. "So I ask again sticking to what?" He repeated plopping down at one of my counter bar stools "You'll find out when dinners ready, now go set the table" I commanded and watched him put back on his coy smile a saunter off to get the table ready.

I looked over Opals figure and admired her form, she had come along way from the sweet chubby girl I went to school with now she was built like a brick house. She was 5'4 and thick as ever with a cute little waist rounded out to huge ass and hips her breast were a comfortable C- cup and her dark chocolate skin helped bring out her light brown eyes and pouty pink lips. She was a beauty all right and her short grey cowl neck work dress fit her perfectly. I smiled as I watched her retrieve two plates from the over, she was never a big cook no doubt she bought the from Boston Market, seeing how homemade they looked. "Why didn't you just ask me to cook us something, you know I'm a chef?" I asked confused as to why she made such a big fuss over this dinner as opposed to all the other times we ate together. "Nope I said I was making dinner this time" She placed the plates while I set the silverware. "You or Boston Market" I laughed "Just shut up and sit down" she teased sticking out her tongue. "Alright fine" I took my seat across from her and began to eat "So what did you want to talk about?" I asked picking at my mashed potatoes "Well its kind of a big thing so I need you to hear me out before you lose your mind" she was nervous it was obvious what ever this was is huge. "Okay" I said confused "Well I need your help to have a baby" she said after taking a deep breath, I started to choke on my cup of water. "Before you answer let me explain" she held up a hand to stop my protests.

Here was my big chance to get what I have wanted for so long. "You know that I have wanted to be a mother for sometime now. Yes at first I was just experiencing bouts of baby fever and in the past they have all gone away but this feeling this need to be a mom has been with me for months now and I want a child more than anything." I explained "So what you want me to cum in a cup or something?" he laughed "No I found out a couple of months ago that I have little chances of getting pregnant" I sighed trying to keep the defeat out of my expression. "Opal I'm sorry," He held my hand and gave a comforting squeeze. "It's fine I have had months to come to terms with it. Yet I have not given up on having a child I looked into surrogacy and I can't afford plus it gets complicated from time to time. So I tried my last option adoption, only I have been rejected by almost every company for being a single mother. So I talked to a patient and I found out that she works at one of the agencies, she told me that if I had a husband I could get a child as quickly as next year." I got excited just thinking about holding my baby. "So I need you to marry me, only in name of course but in a year's time we can divorce and I can have my baby and you can have you....I want to say whores but am going to tone it down hoochie." he chuckled lightly it was a good sign "So what do you say?" I smiled nervously I prayed he would say yes "Opal I don't know" He was looking for a nice way to turn me down, and I looked for a way to hide my disappointment "Of course, it was so stupid can you imagine me as a mom. Crazy right" I fought to hold back tears but they weren't listening . "Opal, why me?" he asked "What do you mean?, you're my best friend you know me better than anyone and I know you. When the adoption agency questions us I wouldn't have to worry about some guy I hired to mess up the answers or something stupid, all I would have to do is tell the truth." I explained dabbing my eyes, but the tears wouldn't stop.

I watched Opal cry and it killed me to know that I was the cause. Since I met Opal she has been there for me, she had been through every high and low in my life and now was my time to pay her back. "Okay" I said "What?" She asked halting the sniffling for a second. "Let's do this" I took her hands in mine "What do you mean?" she asked cautiously optimistic "Opal you have been here for me since I was a kid, now time to repay the favor let's get married" I smiled at her and saw her face light up with that breathtaking smile of hers. "Not how I pictured a proposal but yes. Thank you so much" She leapt into my arms and as usual I had to fight back the urge to embrace her closer. For years I have been fighting my feelings for Opal, but I don't know how long it will last when we were married.

Opal

I couldn't have been happier today was the day of my wedding, well not exactly it was the day I was signing a piece of paper saying I was Brendans wife, but I was wearing a white dress.Gorgeous dress it was it was a knee length white dress covered in lace, I had my hair down in long waves and did my makeup with bright red lips and gold kissed eyes. I waited outside the courthouse for Brendan I told him to arrive looking in a suit but I didn't think he would be this late changing into one. I paced the stairs of the courthouse, growing irritated by the moment "Sorry i'm late I picked this up for you" I heard Brendans voice and felt my heart skip a beat. I turned to see him and was blown away instantly since he always wore jeans and t-shirts it was hard to picture him in anything else, but he cleaned up nicely. He wore a three piece red and grey suit, his beard was trimmed nicely, and his long hair was put into was trimmed shoulder length and looked amazingly soft. It took a second for me to realize that he was carrying a bouquet of red roses, I looked at the beautiful flowers and back at my husband to be, this was definitely worth the wait. "Thank you their beautiful, now its almost our turn so let's hurry" I practically dragged him down the hall. The couple ahead of us was leaving the room and we were called in we walked in front a old hispanic woman that would be acting as our judge. I turned to Brendan took his hand and felt a level of joy I never knew possible, I blamed the feeling on me finally getting my child. Deep down I knew this is what I wanted since elementary school, I just wish this was real. Before I knew it Brendan was done with his part of the ceremony and it was on to me.

Brendan

She looked amazing her white dress looked radiant against her dark skin her long hair framed her cherub face perfectly. As I watched her say her part I couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to be her husband in more than just name, I wondered for a moment what it would feel like to have her as my wife in body and soul. I was brought back when the judge finished, I let go of Opals hand and tried to rid myself of these feelings. It's Opal she is my best friend nothing more, besides she wants a child and I have no interest in being a father. "Well aren't you going to kiss?" the judge asked "Of course" I heard Opal reply, she took a step towards me and I lowered my head to take her lips. What started as a simple kiss somehow went deeper, before I knew it I was holding Opal body against mine and didn't stop till she moaned. "Okay love birds" the judge laughed as we separated. Kissing her felt too good I became good, I looked down at Opal and felt my heart quicken in that moment I knew I made a terrible mistake.
