Trouble in Paradise

Chapter 1 - The Next Step

Mya watched her dancers perform their routine on the gym floor along with the rest of the fans in the stands.

She observed every dancer out there in the floor. She took mental notes on what to tell them. When they were done, they didn't exit the floor, they stood there as All My Life but K-Ci and JoJo came on.

Mya stood up confused at what they were doing. She glanced at Veronica who appeared to be just as confused as she was.

"What are they doing?" Mya murmured to Veronica.

"I don't know." Veronica responded.

Mya tried to capture her students attention but they weren't paying her any mind.

Suddenly she heard the announcer speak. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special announcement from a young man here looking for Mya Douglas.

Everyone's head in the audience began to turn in every direction as Mya stood frozen. Veronica grabbed her hand and walked Mya to the floor. Veronica sat her in a chair that was placed on the floor as her dancers began to dance.

The music began to fade and the dancers stopped dancing. Mya had no clue what was going on. She looked behind her, spotting Veronica, who was telling her to turn around. When Mya turned her head back to the floor, there stood her boyfriend, Jordan.

Tears filled her eyes as she covered her mouth with her hands. She couldn't believe he was standing right before her on this special day. He walked closer to her as she was still sitting and he got on his knee, the crowd cheered. The announcer approached them with the microphone, placing it close to Jordan's mouth.

"I couldn't figure out the most perfect moment to do this." Jordan spoke as he grabbed Mya's hand. "I've confessed my love for you numerous of times and the best way I can prove to you that I love you is asking you," he reached into his pocket, pulling out a black box. "to marry me and become Mrs. Jordan Green." He opened the box and she saw the four carat engagement ring flash in the light.

She wiped her tears, bracing herself to give him her answer. "Of course, I'll marry you." She nodded her head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, she said yes!" The announcer said with excitement, causing the crowd to cheer.

Jordan placed the ring on Mya's finger, picked her up, and then kissed her. It was an extremely exciting moment for the two of them.

They walked out the gym along with Mya's students. They were all thrilled with what just happened.

"You guys, go to the room. I'll be there in a moment." Mya told them, still holding on to Jordan's hand.

As her students disappeared, Mya gave Jordan a look. "I didn't even know you were here."

"You know I love surprising you." He kissed her.

She observed the diamond ring on her finger. "Wow." She said. Her smile never left her face. "I'm engaged."

Jordan couldn't help but smile at his gorgeous fiancé. He noticed how happy she was and seeing her happy makes him happy.

That night, when they arrived to Mya's house, Mya was still excited.

Jordan wanted to take her out to dinner to celebrate, but the competition ended late. It was a little after one when they walked in the house.

Mya has been gazing over her engagement ring all day long. As they cuddled in the bed, she still had the ring one, still looking at it. "This has been the best day ever. I'd never thought I'd see the day I'd get engaged."

She's been using the word engaged ever since he placed the ring on her finger. Jordan knew she was still excited and there was nothing that would take this excitement away from the two of them.
