Ambrosine Brooks
"Baby, wake up." I felt myself being shaken gently by Saint. I groaned in my sleep, annoyed. One more hour. I just needed one more hour. My pregnancy was a dream. I had a man who took care of me, and for the first time in my life, I felt like a priority in a man's life. I felt spoiled.
"I'm tired, baby. Let me sleep."
"Okay, I just wanna get a picture."
"For what, Josiah?" I spoke dryly, not in the mood to deal with his weirdness right now. He was so excited, but I don't play about my sleep.
"You deadass?" I sucked my teeth, opening my eyes. He was smiling at me so hard I was a little creeped out.
"Let me brush my teeth and hair." I said dryly.
"Nah, Amb. I want you just like this. You look so beautiful." He grinned.
Saint Josiah
"You ready?" I asked, holding up my phone.
"Babe, just take the picture, damn!" She grew tired.
"Say cheese!"
"One. Two. Three." The flash went off.
"Yeah, this is fire. I might just get it framed," I added, glancing at the photo.
"Let me see it." She rose up, reaching out.
"Go wash your face and shit like you were so pressed to do." I laughed, moving my phone behind my back. She didn't need to see it just yet.
She sighed and sat at the side of the bed for a while before dragging herself to the bathroom. I followed behind her as she turned on the sink and threw water on her face.
She stared up at the mirror to see a diamond ring on finger sparkling as the bathroom lights hit it. I had placed it on her while she was asleep praying she didn't notice.
" No" She said in disbelief as she turned and pouted.
" You're serious?" She spoke in a cracky voice.
" I told you you're going to be my wife. Well now technically my fiancé if you say yes. I really meant it. I love you."
She stared at her ring in awe before the water works came.
" Ambrosine Brooks, will you take my last name and marry me?" I got down on one knee nervously. I've never felt so strongly about someone. I was scaring myself a bit.
Her lip trembled as she cover her face and nodded. I was originally going to make a big scene at the gender reveal but that wasn't her. That wasn't us. She has always mentioned that her proposal should be intimate and random. She wasn't in it for the dramatics.
" Yes, I'd love to." She hugged onto my neck tight as she admired her ring with glossy eyes.
" I can't believe this" She spoke softly as I rose up.
" Saint, are you sure? It's no take back after this." She pouted and I embraced her with a kiss.
" Brush your teeth girl. Talking about some am I sure. You don't see this big ass ring? Yeah I'm sure. I hope you love the ring. If you don't we can go get a different one" I laughed. She playfully hit my chest then turned back to the sink and proceeded to finish getting ready
