Kyrah
Enjoy.

I'm officially engaged to the love of my life. Who would've thought we'd make it this far. This is gonna take me a while to fully process it in. I just know that i'm a very happy woman right now.

"Notice anything familiar?" He asked me. I looked around to try to give myself an idea. Then it clicked.

"This was our first date." I told him with a smile forming on our face.

"I remember now...you had a blanket spread out right there and we both were laying on it talking to each other. Oh my gosh I knew it was familiar."

"Yeah I been planning this but ain't never told you. Wouldn't of been special if I did....was you expecting it?"

"I was expecting it, but not this soon."

*****************************

"Breaking news today on Fox 32, a man found dead in his home Friday night with a gun wound to the head. No signs of who could've done this or why it happen. Chicago police ask that if you know anything to please contact the number you see here on the screen."

I turned to Tariq who was just staring blankly at the t.v. He had no expression of guilt or worried ness in his face. Doesn't surprise me though.

"What are you-"

"Alongside with that another man was found in a burning home. Firefighters tried to get to him as fast as they could, sadly, it was too late."

They showed his house burned to the ground. Almost as if there was never a house there at all.

"Babe..."

He looked over at me. "Yeah?"

"Do you think...they'll....that they'll find out we did it?"

"Nah, we ain't leave no evidence behind. It's no way they gon catch us. Plus this Chicago, the PD here sorry as hell. They never solve shit. Why else you think the crime rate so high here?"

I sighed and leaned back on the couch. His words give me some sort of comfort. It's still the lingering thought I have of getting caught. Our whole life will be kissed goodbye.

"Mamas stop thinking about it so much...we suppose to be celebrating right now...you bout to have my last name real soon."

He tells me while wrapping his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer.

"I know, and you're 100% right. I just don't want anything to get ruined. I don't wanna be away from you again." I said.

"That's not gonna happen. I gotchu."

I laid my head on his shoulder. "I love you." I say.

"I love you too...uglahh." He playfully said.

I sat back up and began tying my hair up before getting down on my knees in front of him. By the looks on his happy ass face he knows what's about to go down.

1 week later

"I can't believe I find out about your existence last week and you're already moving across the country." Hailey said with a pouty look. We were all at the airport in the parking lot. By we, I mean Sheik, Hailey, Justin, Will, Kyrie, Scar, and Q. A couple more of Tariq's people were also here too.
