It feels good as hell to be out of rehab Ari don't know that I'm out cause I want to surprise her. I had went to my parents house to pick up my girls and now we're on our way to Haze salon. Dave is already there and so is Ari parents my parents are right behind me. I pulled up to Lyric House of Beauty I parked and got the girls out I locked my car doors and walked up to the salon.

"Okay why are we even here the salon is closed," I heard Ari spoke.

"Cause I'm home."

Ari turned and started crying as she walked towards me I let go of the girls hands and embraced Ari.

"It's good to see you big bro but you not that special to be shutting down my place of business."

"Yes I am but I have something to ask Ari."

"What?"

"I'll start from the beginning 3 years ago I broke your heart all because I was dumb and scared to fall in love with you so I ran Haze and everyone else tried to tell me that you was pregnant but I wasn't listening and I said that you was lying because I was scared no it's not an excuse for what I did and we can't change the past we can only move forward girlfriend don't sound right anymore."

"No you're not," Ari said as she backed up some I chuckled and grabbed her hand I got down on one knee.

I chuckled at Haze Ari was in full blown tears.

"Yes I'll marry you," I smiled and put the ring on Ari finger.

I stood up I hugged Ari and we kissed.

"The ring is beautiful baby."

"I knew you would love it last month when Dave came and visited me he has his jeweler to come so I could look at rings."

"Thank you for doing that Dave."

"No problem D is my boy and once I learned he wanted to propose I had to help him out."

Also last month Dave and my parents helped me set up a surprise baby shower for Ari and Dave helped me find us a house this morning after I was released.

"You're next," I heard Dave mumbled to Haze.

I smirked as her eyes went wide she looked at me and I smiled at her.

"I have two more surprises for my fiancé."

"What are they?"
