Between You & I

A Celebration

At Yasmine's Job
later that day...

He was suppose to be my husband soon...

We were suppose to be happy, living our life, finally together.

*knock knock*

I quickly snap back into reality as Chelsea, my assistant, enters my office and sits in one of the chairs in front of my desk. I noticed that she's carrying a huge wrapped basket close to her

"Yes, Chelsea, What is it?"

"You look tired...so, I brought you your favorite coffee and a gift basket for a little bubble bath and relaxation" she says with a smile and a giggle

"Thank you Chelsea, that's so nice of you I really appreciate it. Be sure to look out for a promotion.. I'm going to promote you to Head Assistant of the team" I say slyly

"What! Wait,You're serious!
Thank you so much you won't regret it!"
She says hugging me tightly in excitement

"You're welcome, you deserve it, you've been working hard these past two years and I see an improvement everyday so why not. Your paycheck comes in Friday so make a good impression this week"

"I will!" She says walking out of the room in excitement

At least something good came out of today so far.

"Ms. Howard, you have someone here who wants to see you, his name is Troy Davidson.

Why is he here...

"He can come in, would you mind shutting the door after he comes in David?"

"Not at all Ms. Howard" he then does so

Troy walks in holding a vase full of beautiful pink roses
He has on a nice button down with his sleeve's rolled up as usual, which turns me on and he knows it. His hair is combed back which you could tell he did it on purpose to impress me

He sets the vase down on my desk and leans forward with seriousness and a hint of lust in his eyes.

"If there wasn't a person sitting outside your office, I'd fuck you right here" he said knowing how to tempt me

"And if I couldn't lose my job as easily, I'd hit you upside the head with that vase for lying to me" I say calmly, feeling the pain that I had felt this morning

"Baby" he start

"Why did you come here?" I ask before he could say something to try to change my mind

"I wanted to check up on you, I needed to know that you were safe.."

"Well here I am, safe"  I said looking around and shifting my focus back to him

I haven't even been gone for a day and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss home and him trying to seduce me every chance he gets..I miss us making eachother laugh because we always did something silly together or how he'd pick me up and twirl me around like a child, how he would make sure that I was warm enough at night and hold me close..and he'd always think of ways to show me that he loved me. Why is this so difficult for us?

"Right. I see that you're okay so I will be going now, bye Yas"

He almost opens the door before I run up to him and kiss him. He's the love of my life, and I know that he doesn't want to do those things out there but what choice do I have but to trust him? He's the only one that can keep me safe.

"Um.. do you have that ring? I was um hoping that we could try  again?" I said nervously, hoping that this time I won't begin to think negatively like last time.

"Of course, I still have it, I brought it with me, to remember you by. I make sure it's always in my inside pocket with the zipper on it"

"That's- (the one that you/I keep in the back of the closet)" we say at the same time causing us to laugh at how good we know eachother

He takes out the sparkly ring and bends down on one knee as soon as Chelsea and David open the door about to say something they are smiling in happiness as everyone in the halls peek inside at what was going on and people start crowding around inside my office.

I started to cry as Troy had asked me to marry him and I said Yes.

Suddenly, my office was like a party room for the past three days as there were drinks and food and sweets for the co-workers to enjoy as a celebration and a little day time break room to go to besides congratulating me, which I am very thankful for.

I decided to pack up everything after work and go back home the same day he proposed in my office and so far everything's been okay...or so I think.
