 Tonight is Chris and I’s date. We are here in Miami for a week because we are having a little break. I was dressed in a white Jane Norman crop top, blue cuffed high waist denim shorts, with ‘’Gamma Blue’’ Air Jordan 12 retro. My hair was up in a bun. I walked out of my extra room, looking for Chris. It’s 4 in the afternoon and it is hot as hell. Chris walked out of his bedroom, lookin’ fly.

 ‘’Damn, you lookin’ cute.’’ Chris said, smiling.

 ‘’Thank you, you lookin’ fly ya’ self.’’ I said.

 ‘’You ready?’’ He asked. I nodded, grabbing his hand. We walked out of the tour bus, walking down the sidewalk. ‘’Where you wanna go?’’ He asked.

 ‘’Somewhere cool, it’s hot out here.’’ I said. He nodded, looking around at the buildings. Chris made us walk into a building. It was a skating rink. ‘’Chris, I can’t skate that good.’’ I said.

 ‘’I’ll be here every step of the way. Trust me.’’ He said. I got my skates, taking off my Jordans. I put on my skates, lacing them up. Chris skated toward me, helping me up. He held my hips, guiding my hips. We skated on the floor, going from side-to-side. Chris let go off of my hips, grabbing onto my hand. We skated around having fun.

 ‘'This is really fun.’’ I said, smiling at Chris. The lights went off then a disco ball came down. Weak by SWV started playin’.

 ‘’It’s couple skatin’, find you a partner and smooch it up.’’ The DJ said into the microphone. Chris grabbed both of my hands. He pulled me close to him. He looked me into my eyes then leaned in, letting our lips meet. The kiss was sweet and passionate. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled away, smiling.

 ‘’You kiss really good.’’ Chris said, smiling. I looked down, blushing. Chris grabbed my hand, caressing it with his thumb. Chris is so sweet. We skated around for a while longer before we decided to leave. We walked out of the place.

 ‘’Where to now?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Well, we spent like three hours now and it’s night time. Let’s go the beach.’’ He said. I nodded my head, interlocking our fingers. We walked down the street, hearing loud music blare throughout the inside of the clubs. I took off my Jordans, walking down in the sand barefooted. We sat down, listening to the waves crash. ‘’Arielle, I got to admit something.’’ He said.

 ‘’What is it?’’ I asked.

 ‘’I’m actually falling for you. I want you to be with me. I had this dream that you were my wife. I want that to happen someday. I want us to settle down and have kids. I want you to be called Mrs. Brown. Would you be my girlfriend for now, then maybe we can move up.’’ He said.

 ‘’We should just us a try.’’ I said. He hugged me tightly, kissing me passionately. I got into his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. He pulled away, smiling.

 ‘’You’re officially mine.’’ He said, smiling.

 ‘’You know that I like a rough guy in the relationship?’’ I asked.

 ‘’Yeah, I know.’’ He said.

 ‘’Now that we are together for real, be aggressive but not too aggressive.’’ I said.

 ‘’Alright, so aggressive like this.’’ He said, kissing me roughly. I grabbed onto his shirt he was wearing. I pulled away, biting his bottom lip.

 '‘Exactly like that.’’ I said.

 ‘’Alright, babe.’’ He said. It sounded so sexy when he said that. I smiled, looking at the ocean. I got up, walking toward the ocean. I touched the water, thinking about my parents. It’s been like six or seven years since their passing. I miss them so much. I don’t think I’ll ever tell Chris till’ I actually need to. ‘’Baby girl, what are you doing?’’ He asked. I looked down at see I was playin’ in the water.

 ‘’I don’t know.’’ I said.

 ‘’You look pale, what’s wrong?’’ He asked.

 ‘’Nothing, I just was thinking about some new moves for the crew.’’ I lied.

 ‘’Alright, well we need to be getting back.’’ He said.

 ‘’Can you carry me?’’ I asked. Chris walked over to me, picking me up bridal style. I put my head into his chest. I listened to his heartbeat. Chris is a sweetheart, I can envision everything he said when he asked me to be his girlfriend. We could be married in the future with kids. If we do, I’ll still love him the same. I hope this relationship is going to work. I don’t want another failed relationship.

 ‘’Where y’all been?’’ I heard Mariah asked.

 ‘’On a date, she’s mine now.’’ Chris said.

 ‘’Aww, that’s sweet.’’ Mariah said. Chris began moving again, before he stopped again. He opened the door, walking inside. He placed me on his bed. I opened my eyes, smiling at Chris. He laid beside me, stroking my hair.

 ‘’You good?’’ He asked

 ‘’Yeah, Pooh Bear.’’ I said

 ‘’That nickname though.’’ He said, making me giggle.

 ‘’You are my little Pooh Bear and I’m your baby girl.’’ I said.

 ‘’You know this, man.’’ He said in Smokey’s voice. I giggled, pecking his lips. I’m glad I’m his. This is what I want. Him and I together. I hope he doesn’t mess things up.
