My Love, My Life

Her Choice

Phillips P.O.V

I woke up streching realized that Theodosia wasn't next to me. I felt cold and realized what we did. Oh, hopefully she's okay. I did use protection. So I sure she'll be fine. I sat up against the pillow and decided to wear a black shirt and blue jeans and some striped socks. I brushed down my hair and put it in a simple ponytail and decided to tell Theodosia what I plan to do after college. Well, I obviously am going to propose to her....After college. We don't have much time left so, yeah. I grabbed the engagement box and looked at the ring that I was going to give her when I was going to propose. Which was:

This is the ring. It also has a matching pink box. Very matchy matchy....

I smiled hiding it so she won't find it. I planned on asking for her father's blessing in a few weeks. I wanted time to think about all of it. Maybe we shouldn't have done...that well, what we did last night. Maybe...I should've waited a bit longer. Wait. Did I take away her virginity?! What if i I did? What if she's pregnant?! Oh no.... I sighed as I looked out the window and saw someone park their silver mercades that was pretty expensive. It looked like it was from the future. I saw a girl come out as I realized that she was Theodosia! Pfft. I should've known. I smiled. She's crazy rich. I sighed as I decided to calm down and let out my feelings at the piano. I realized that I began playing the backing of We Won't Move by Arlissa. I sighed as the door clicked shut. I looked up and saw Theodosia walk in. I smiled. She was wearing my sweatshirt. She looked adorable with it, I stopped and greeted her with a hug as she said, " Your awake! How'd you sleep?" I said, " Well...good. at least when we stopped and got tired at least." She laughed said, " True." I asked, "You okay?" Theodosia said, " I'm fine! It's not like I'm pregnant or anything! I visited yo Momma and talked to her about pregnancy stuff. And I hung out with my dad. I showed him my car, he was like Whaatttttt." As she impersonated her dad by talking in a deeper voice. I laughed as she rocked back and forth as she said," Sooo..." I asked, " Soooo, " She asked, " What do you want to do with me today? " I said, " how about we go on an adventure!" As I held her hand spinning her around as she smiled said, "That's cool. We can explore City Place downtown or I call it the place where nobody knows how to drive."

I laughed said, " True. Okay," She said, " Yay!" She took off my sweatshirt as she was just in a black bra as she disappeared into her room. I laughed at her excitement as I put my sweatshirt in her room since I think she liked it. She pulled on a blue tube top and pulled her hair into three ponytails. Basically some sort of Mohawk style. It looked nice to me. She went to the bathroom as I watched her do her hair and stuff as she turned asked, " What?" I said, " I'm just admiring the beauty." She rolled her eyes smiling said," Pfft. Your so cheesy. " I said, " Well, I like cheese. " She giggled said, " Your so cute. " as she turned concentrating on doing her edges.

Eventually...

She finally finished getting ready I  asked, " You ready Princess? " She smiled said, " Now I am. I had to redo it like fifty times! Sorry 'bout that." I said," It's alright. " She said," A'ight, let's hit the road." She grabbed her mini bag as she started dancing and walking as I smiled walking next to her as she started humming and what not. I didn't care if we were making a scene she can dance! She got down low doing all sorts of weird stuff as I said, "Don't twirk you weirdo!" She laughed said, " Okay okay, I'm not gonna go that far!" I laughed as she held my hand as she led me to her car as I said, "Damn." She laughed hopping in as I joined her in the passenger seat. I sighed as she put in her music as she played Elton John. I smiled, I knew she was feeling a bit down. When she feels down, she dances and listens to Elton John to cheer herself up. I wondered why she felt upset. I placed my hand on her thigh asked, " What'sthe matter baby? " She said, " Yesterday, what the officer did. He patted me down three times... I still feel his prints on me. I...nevermind." I said, " Hey, it'll be better." She said, " When?" Her eyes were on the road as tears were leaving her eyes as I brushed them away with my thumb as she took a deep breath said, " I just want justice. and for it to stop. " I said, " Oh." She sighed as she tightened her grip on the steering wheel. We were quiet until we arrived at City Place. She got out as she had her Air pods in and her phone in hand. I smiled wrapping an arm around her waist as we walked down the side walk as people looked at us, I guess they know who we are since we're on tv because of what the officer did. Or something. We stopped as she saw the store Hollister as she held my hand leading me along. I smiled as she began looking at different clothes until she found a few that satisfied her as she had me carry them as she tried them on and then she bought them. It was mid afternoon as we were walking to H&M as she sighed singing as I smiled. I realized she was singing the song Stand Up from the movie Harriet that was about Harriet Tubman. Or Arminta Ross. Which I enjoyed hearing her sing. I could too. She just didn't know it yet. After shopping we decided to watch the evening shows as we were walking back to her car as I asked, "What are you going to do after we graduate next month?" She said, " Well, I want to become an activist and become a Black History professor. I want to earn a few degrees. A P.H.D in Black History, and a P.H.D in Music since I also want to be a harpist too." I said, " Wow." She said, " I've always wanted to be like Harriet Tubman. " I said, " Wow. Well, I'm sure you will. I know it." She turned said, " Really?" I said, " Really." She asked, " You think so?" I smiled said, " I know so baby girl." She nodded and began to drive with a smile on her face the whole time. So, she wants to get involved in activism. And get a P.H.D in black history and become a professor in that subject. She sure will do that. And be a harpist? Well, I'll be there to support her if that's her choice.
