You Again (Completed) ✔️

35.

Antwon's POV

"Antwon, wake up. You promised me that you'd take me to the pond today." Kyra says.

I see my fiancé standing next to the bed, holding her stomach. Ever since she found out she was having a baby, she has done that.

She wants everyone to know she's pregnant and how lucky she is to have a guy like me.

A smile spread across my face when I saw the light from the sun hit her. It makes her look like she has a halo about her head. "I'm awake. Let me change, and then we can head to the pond."

"What about breakfast? I'm hungry, and we have no food in the house."

I laugh. "We can grab something while we're out, and then we can go grocery shopping."

She groans. "You know I hate shopping, and it's not my responsibility to have it stoked up."

I pull her onto the bed. "If you move in with me, we can always stock it. It's about time we take the next step in our relationship. We're going to have a kid in seven months."

She looks at her bare ring finger. "I won't be moving in here until you put a ring on my finger."

I claim her lips with mine, taking her mind off the ring I'm supposed to give her. I grab a velvet box by leaning over to the drawer next to the bed. Opening it, I say. "Kyra Melissa Caiden. Will you marry me?"

"Yes," she nods. Tears begin to fall down her face, and she wipes them away. "This is perfect, Antwon."

Taking the ring out of the box, I slid it on her finger. She leans forward and claims my lips with hers. Pulling away, she says. "I love you, Antwon."

My heart begins to race as I open my eyes and look around the room.

I haven't thought of Kyra since she took her life nine years ago.

Climbing out of bed, I quickly changed into jeans and a shirt. I headed downstairs to the kitchen and heard Cole talking to Julia about a 1969 Ford Mustang.

Entering the kitchen with Liam, their conversation comes to a halt, and an awkward silence falls upon the room.

Cole looks at me, trying to make me have a conversation with my sister, but I'm not in the mood to talk to her after dreaming about my dead fiancé.

Julia: Hey, Dad.

Dad: Hey, Pumpkin. I need your brothers and you home ASAP. There are things we need to talk about.

Julia: I have an interview that I can't miss. Can I come by after that?

Dad: Congrats on the interview. It's good that you're planting roots in this city again.

Julia: I know. I'll give you to Liam. He'll let you know if he can make it.

She hands the phone to Liam, and he talks to Dad for a bit.

Liam hangs up and hands the phone back to Julia. "You could skip the interview and be there for the family."

Julia slaps him across the face. "Just because you have free time doesn't mean everyone can stop what they're doing to run home to Mommy and Daddy. I need to get myself set up here, too. Sometimes, I need to be selfish and look out for myself, just like Antwon and you." Grabbing the food off the table, she walks out of the room.
