With A Couple Of Photoshoots Under The Belt For Today I Headed To Mikayla House To See What She Was Up To. She Better Answer The Door Cause I Know Her Big Headed Ass Is At Home. I Made A Beat As I Knocked On The Door And Chance Opened Up.

"Wassup." I Said.

"Hey Man." He Said Letting Me In.

I Could See Mikayla In The Kitchen And Skipped My Happy Big Ass Into Her Kitchen.

"What The Hell You So Happy About."

"I'm Always Happy."

"Nig- Whatever. You In A Really Good Mood."

"I Need You To Go To The Mall With Me."

"Just Me And You?"

"And A Couple Body Guards."

"What You Need From The Mall."

"I Want To Do Some Old School Ring Shopping."

"Old School Ring Shopping? For What-"

She Stopped In Her Tracks And Her Mouth Dropped. I Just Continued Smiling

"Michael....Michael, You For Real?"

"Yup!"

"Damn You Ready To Pop The Question?" Chance Asked.

"Hell Yeah. We Even Talked About It Last Night. I Told Her That I'm Just Basically Ready To Build My Life With Her."

"That's Why Yo Nugget Head Ass Done Damn Near Floated Yo Ass Into My House. Wow, I Can't Believe This. Okay What Time Are We Going?"

"When Deon And Brick Get Here. I Told Them To Just Meet Me Over Here."

She Straight Faced Me. "Now What If I Said No."

"You Wasn't Gone Say No."

She Rolled Her Eyes.

"You Coming Chance?" I Asked.

"Nah, I Gotta Get To Work Soon."

"Man, When You Gone Meet The Rest Of The Crew?"

"As Soon As I Get A Few Days Off, I'll Let You Know."

"Cool Shit."

Chance Left And Maybe About 15 Minutes Later Deon And Brick Pulled Up. We Got In The Yukon And Brick Drove Off To The Mall.

"Man So What's The Plan?" Deon Asked.

"I'm Not Really Sure Yet." I Told Him. "...Actually I May Just Have One."

"And What's That?"

"You'll See."

Thinking About It Was Giving Me Butterflies. I've Never Been Able To Say That Before. I Have No Idea What It Is About Drea That Drives Me So Insane. I Had A Dream Last Night. Ma Dukes Came To Me And Told Me She Was The One And To Not Let Her Go. We Were Sitting In Her Old House, In The Livingroom Where She Was Watching Sanford And Son. She Told Me "Michael, That's The One, That's Your Forever Love And You Better Not Let Her Go." I Felt That In My Heart. Grandma Never Lead Me Astray, NEVER. Even When I Didn't Want To Listen To The Things She Had To Say She Was Always Right.

When We Got To The Mall It Was Slightly Packed. As We Walked In People Were Freaking Out And Trying To Get Pictures And Videos. We Made It To The Jewelry Store And I Started Looking Around. Drea Wasn't Really Flashy When It Came To Jewelry So I Knew That I Wanted Something More On The Simple Side. Mikayla Showed Me A Few Rings She Thought Would Be Good But They Just Weren't Right To Me. After Looking Over Almost Every Ring My Eyes Landed On A Round Halo Diamond Ring. It Was Perfect. I Bought It An Took It With Me On The Spot.
