Brianna pov:
"Tamari I'm not getting in that sand." I told him and he smacked his lips.
"Girl I asked you did you want to go to the beach and you said yes so let's go." He said pulling my arm making me step in the sand.
He pulled me to a beach chair and we both sat on it and he dug in his pocket pulling out a box opening it and showing me a ring.
"Before you ask this not a engagement ring I'm not ready for all that and you not either and I didn't plan on doing this right now I was gone wait because we had a lot going on but it's a promise ring." He told me.
"A promise for what?" I asked him and he scratched his head.
"I guess to love you , protect you and all that shit." He told me and I folded my arms.
"You guess?" I questioned him and he sighed looking at me.
He bit his bottom lip then let out a breath "I promise to protect and love you and be honest with you Brianna." He said to me.
"I wanted you to know I'll keep you safe physically and mentally." He told me.
"Will you accept the ring?" He asked me and I thought about it.
"If we're not in a relationship what's the point of giving me the ring?" I asked him.
"The ring is my way of asking you to be in a relationship." He told me.
"Don't you think that's moving to fast I mean we just started going on dates 2 weeks ago." I told him.
"Better late then never." He told me and I didn't say anything.
"Brianna you gone be my girlfriend or what?" He asked me and I shook my head no.
"We told eachother we'll take it slow so that's what we need to do Tamari I'll accept the ring but I don't want a boyfriend right now and I know you don't want a girlfriend." I told him.
He slipped the ring on my finger then sighed. I didn't want to upset him but we're not ready for a relationship and he knows it so he can't be mad at nobody but himself for asking at the wrong time.
Sorry not sorry.
"So what you do today?" He asked me.
"I chilled with nijah and went to pick up my prom dress and my cap and gown." I told him.
"Damn you are graduating soon." He mumbled and I nodded my head.
"What color you wearing for prom?" He asked me.
"Yellow." I responded thinking about how beautiful my dress was.
"Why yellow that's so plain?" He said to me as he rubbed his waves.
"It makes my skin pop and a lot of people will have on the same color I wanna be different." I told him.
"So you gone let me take you to prom?" He asked me and I smirked.
"You to old man." I said jokingly to him and he smacked his lips.
"I'm 23 years old I'm not old ima young adult but you should really let me take you." He told me.
"I don't think that's a good idea my mom already don't like you and she's me and nijah ride there." I told him.
"Tell you what I'll take you and get us a ride and you can bring nijah to." He said and I thought about it.
"Tamari when you pick me up you Gotta be respectful to my mom because she already doesn't like you that much." I told him.
"Ight I'll be respectful." He told me while rolling his eyes.
"Tamari I'm serious if you can't respect my mom I can't be with you or have any respect for you." I told him.
"Ight I got you, and what about your dad what I gotta worry about with him ?" He asked me and I took a long pause.
"My dad passed away when I was 15 on my birthday." I told him and he looked out at the ocean then at me.
"Dang I'm sorry for real." He told me and I nodded my head.
My dad and I were really close his passing was a big reason I'm so calm and to myself.
"It's okay but I'll tell you the rest of the prom details later let's just focus on what we have going on right now." I told him as he laid back on the beach chair.
I laid back with him laying my head on his chest and stared at the beach as the waves flowed side to side.
I soon felt a tear dropped from my eye and soon hit Tamari shirt.
The thought of my father always made me sad. I just wish I had him back.
