His Perfect Secret

The Incident.

Adoncia's P.O.V.

I’m really excited today ‘cause I’m going on a date with Bryan.

I know I have been on tons of dates with him, but this is no ordinary date. I think today is gonna be the day he’s gonna propose. I can feel it in my heart.

Bryan is my boyfriend, Bryan Duncan. I love him, I really do. We’ve been dating for years and he hasn’t shown any sign of taking our relationship to the next level and I ain’t getting any younger.

Most of my friends back at home, Spain, ask me why I’m not dating a Spaniard. I obviously do not wanna end up like my aunt and my mum who unknowingly married Mafia Dons.

My uncle and dad claimed they loved their wives so much yet they weren’t able to tell them they were Mafia Dons before they got married.

The faithful wives end up finding out but they keep the secret to themselves. Isn’t that cruel to the kids?

When the kids find out, they become devastated and are forced to live with the family’s dirty secret knowing that one day they’ll be heirs to the group.

I shouldn’t think about that right now.

I went to get ready, I wanted to look simple. I picked out a wine off-shoulder gown with gold sequins, packed my hair in a messy bun, wore light makeup and jewelry.

I put on a pair of cream stilettos and a clutch purse to match.

Bryan promised to pick me up by 7pm so we'd have some fun before dinner.

It took me three good hours to get ready. Bryan came by the time I was done.

Gosh! He came on time.

“Hey babe.” He pecked my lips. “How was your night, did you dream about me?” His voice alone made me blush.

“My night was splendid ‘cause I dreamt about you but I wish you'd be by my side always.”

His smile melted my heart then he grabbed my hand and whispered, “I love you.”, into my ears and that sent shivers through my spine.

We got to the restaurant on time and Bryan had booked reservations at the couple’s table.

That’s so sweet of him.

We had a fun time that we almost forgot about dinner. Bryan signaled the waiter to take our orders.

I ordered Spicy Shrimp Spinach Pasta and Sprite; Bryan ordered the same.

Time went by quickly, I finished my food and waited for him to be done.

Ugh! I’ve given up. I don’t think today is the DAY.

“Bryan I wanna use the ladies, I’ll be back soon.” He just nodded.

What if he wants to break up with me? He won’t, he can’t, right?

No, he won’t do that. He loves me and I know that. I just have to be patient with him then.

I left the toilet heading back to our table. I got there and I was surprised by what I saw.

It really is the DAY!!

Bryan knelt on one knee before me, holding a diamond ring and said.

“Adoncia Clara De Luna, would you do me the honor of marrying me and making me the happiest man on earth?” He asked, looking at me with a smile.

I couldn’t hold back the tears. I said yes without hesitating. He rose, we were about kissing when we heard gunshots.

Bryan held me tight as we went under the table for protection. I saw lots of men in black from where I was. They were shouting and cursing in Italian.

I got really scared, I was shaking but Bryan hugged me assuring we'd be fine.

I can’t die, not now. My boyfriend just proposed to me. I mean I’m still a virgin. I can’t die a virgin!

I jolted holding Bryan really tight when a guy approached our table squatting before us.

“Sorry for the inconvenience and please remain calm. You can trust me.” He said stretching out his hand to us.

I certainly didn’t feel comfortable with the guy around hut Bryan seemed fine.

The guy led us to a place where we stayed till the gunshots subsided. We came out and the guy led us out safely.

Phew, I can finally breathe.

I was about thanking the guy when Bryan did.

“Thank you very much. You saved our lives.”

“Don’t mention it. Can you find your way home, or do you need a ride?” he asked sincerely.

I quickly answered, “No, this is enough. You just saved our lives there already. We owe you one.” I looked at Bryan.

They quickly exchanged business cards. I took a glance at the guy’s card and saw his name, Ricardo Silvano. He’s Italian, that’s great.

The remaining hours of the day ended quietly. I stayed at Bryan’s ‘cause he wanted to explain why he took so much time before proposing.

He had a reasonable excuse but that didn’t deny the fact he made me wait, I even thought he was gonna break up with me.

“Babe, I’m sorry. I wasn’t really sure if you were gonna say yes.” He said

I was shocked. “I would never say no, Best.” I said placing my palm on his cheek.

He smiled, “I love you babe but why do you call me Best?” He asked.

I giggled. “That’s because you’re the Best thing that has ever happened to me.” I replied.

He pulled me to him and gave me a long kiss.
