Her💜

Ch.17 The Talk

After Brooklyn's family left it was her and I alone. I didn't want to have this talk with her, but it needed to be done. Walking into her bedroom, her eyes instantly gets big at her gifts laid out on her bed.

Brooklyn: Babe, you bought all this looking at me?
I didn't say anything just continued to smile, and lean against the wall.

Brooklyn: you got me some MK shoes? Omg babe, then she sees the card and sits on the bed to read it.
She looks up at me with tears in her, and give me a death hug. "Babe, I love you so much."

Jordyn: I have one more gift to give you, close your eyes. That's when I pull out the Pandora Box that holds the diamond ring. Open your eyes...

Brooklyn stood there wide eyed with her hands over mouth, more years filled her eyes. This is just a promise ring for now, one day I want it to turn into an engagement ring. This is my promise to you, to be there for you always, support your dreams and your passions, to be true to you, and love you unconditionally no matter what happens. I slid the ring on her left index fingers, and held her as she cries.

Brooklyn: Even after a year, you keep surprising me. Girl I love you so much, I feel bad the only thing I got you was a necklace.

Jordyn: shutup Brooklyn! I love this necklace, I don't care about you getting me anything else. I did all those because I wanted to woman! Now we need to talk about grad school, the Army, and us...

Brooklyn: so where do we go from here?
Jordyn sighs: I honestly don't know, I want to be with you but I feel like with me going away to the Army I'll be holding you back. What if you meet someone else at grad school? What if the distance becomes too much for the both of us?

Brooklyn: I've thought about all that, except for me meeting someone else. I want you and only you. Long distance relationships is hard, but I'm willing to work at it if you are. What we have is real Jordyn, and I'm not about to let our chosen paths come in between us. Say you'll fight with baby? And if we decide later on down the line, that it isn't working. Let's mutually end things okay??

Jordyn: you know you're my future wife right? I'm fighting for us with you babe.

"Hold on Jess, let me check my mail right quick."
Bills, bills, and more bills, letter from Jordyn:

Hey Beautiful, I miss you so much. Two years stationed in South Korea is not what I wanted. I wish you were here with me, you'll probably be shopping and going broke over here. Everything is cheap AF. How's classes going? How are you doing? Does that girl still have a crush on you? Sorry this is a short letter, not much going on. Other than me missing you like fuck. Oh and guess what? Tia is stationed here in Korea too! I saw her the other day? Hope you're not studying, so I can video chat with you tonight. Love you babe, your Army wife💜
