One Wish

Chapter Thirty-three pt.2

Chris

I thought about what I was going to say to Robyn as I ate, took Monica to her hotel, and drove home. It seemed like everything I came up with would make Robyn get mad at me so I'd start over from scratch and end up with the same results. I sighed as I parked my car and went into the house. I guess I'll have to say what's on my chest and hope for the best. Robyn wasn't home yet so I'm guessing she's still with Ma. At least since she's not here yet I have a little more time to get my thoughts together. I decided to call Mijo and get his input on the situation.

"Wassap Breezy?"

"I need your advice."

"What's going on? What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything yet."

"So what do you need advice about?"

"Marriage."

"You're about to propose?! What happened to not wanting to wife her up this young?"

"I'm not proposing. I'm gonna talk to her about how I feel about marriage."

"Why?"

"Our mom's are always bringing up marriage and Robyn and I never talked about marriage before."

"What are you gonna say?"

"Ima tell her I'm not ready. I'm not trying to be tied down right now."

"I'm not trying to be rude but do you want her to break up with you?"

"She is not gonna break up with me." I hope she doesn't break up with me after this...

"If you tell her you're not trying to be tied down she's gonna think she's not the only one you're with."

"I think you're right man."

"I know I'm right. I know how the Bajan mind works. I got a crazy Bajan."

"What did you say?!" I heard Mel's voice in the background.

"Nothing babe."

"Why didn't you tell me Mel was with you? I'm not on speaker am I?"

"Mel just came out the bathroom but she's in the kitchen now."

"Good. I don't want her listening to our conversation."

"You gotta come up with a better excuse than that or you're gonna get fucked up."

"I'm just being honest. You aren't trying to put a ring on Mel's finger."

"Yeah but me and Mel have only been together for three months. You and Robz have been feeling each other for years."

"But we've only been together since October."

"You guys are about to have a child together-"

"Which means I have eighteen years to propose."

"You really think she's gonna stick around that long?"

"I'll be lucky if she waits until the end of the year."

"I can't force you to do something you don't want to do but you can't get mad if Robyn gets tired of waiting and leaves you." Mijo said seriously as I heard the front door.

"I gotta go man." I said before I hung up. Robyn came into the living room where I was sitting I and said "I need to talk to you."

"I need to talk to you too."

"Uh...I guess you can go first."

"You said you had to tell me something first so go ahead." She said, sitting down next to me.
