Third person


Kenzie was watching TV at home after she left the wedding to chill after a long day. Then she heard the door bell ring. She turned it off and walked over to the door to open it. As she opened it she froze as she couldn't believe who she saw.

''Hi.'', Johnny smiled, holding balloons in one hand and a package in the other. ''Hold this.'', he handed her the balloons and leaned in to kiss her.

He went inside leaving Kenzie confused as she couldn't get a word out. He put the package on a table and grabbed a beer bottle.

''What are you doing here?'', she finally asked, walking over to him.

''I want to celebrate New Years with you.'', he said kissing her again.

''What about Paris?'', she asked as he went to the kitchen, opening the bottle.

''Cancelled.'', he said.

''Why?'', she wondered.

''I didn't wanna risk anything. Other wise someone else will get you.'', he said as she smiled.

''Really? You're not leaving?'', her eyes became glossy.

''No, the show has to get by without me. I already promised you.'', he said as she just looked at him stunned.

''Should I turn the light down a little?'', he asked. He accidentally turned the light off and then turned it on again. He looked over to her as a tear rolled down her cheek.

''What's wrong?'', he asked, walking over to her as she sat down at the table. ''Are you scared of the dark?'' He sat down next to her.

''I love you.'', she said. He smiled.

''Come on, we should eat cake on it.'', he opened the package he brought. He took a peace of cake out of it to feed her.

''But that job was your life dream.'', she said.

''Yes. But all in good time, as it's said.'', he said. He pulled out a little box out of his jacket giving it to her. ''And today it's time for this.''

Her eyes widened as she slowly took the box out of his hands and opens it, finding a peace of candy in it. Her smile fades as she closes it again and throws it back to him, standing up trying to leave.

''Mackenzie.'', he grabbed her hand and put a ring on her finger. ''Will you marry me?''

She looks down at the ring. ''You're crazy. It's not real.'', she laughs, still in tears, holding her hand up.

''But my love is real, baby.'', he confirms. ''Sorry, couldn't make it.'', he smiled.

She rolled her eyes, leaving to go outside to the balcony.

''Kenzie.'', he stood up going after her.

''Johnny, you- you will leave again.'', she says.

''Then you have to bring me back.''

''So you really want to leave!?'', she exclaims.

''No, I won't go anywhere. Let's try at least.'', he says.

''Try!? You can't try a marriage. A marriage means rice with vegetables everyday. Are you ready for it?'', she shouts.

''Don't scare me, Kenz.''

''That scares you!? Then you're not ready for this.'', she says looking down.

''Fine. Then I'll leave.'', he turns around.
