Red Light Special

Chapter 23

The entire ride to the airstrip was silent which id extremely weird for Jenny and I. I just didnt want to talk, all I wanted was to be back on that bus with Joe in his arms. I hated leaving but we both knew it was best for the preganancy and the baby. We pulled up to the airstrip a short time later and I climbed in well jenny talked to the pilot since she is used to doing this. She walked on and climbed next to me.

"LiLi you ok?"

"I want to be back with Joey."

"I know you do but you know this is best for the baby."

He hand went to my stomach and Mariah kicked and she smiled.

"Come on it wont be that bad, we can go get mani's and pedi's and Auntie Jenny can go shopping for her girl it be great."

"I know and I appreciate all you guys doing this its just me, I cant sleep without Joey now. We been together so much I dont remember what its like not having him here."

"Girly Ive done it with D and its a ajustment but you'll get through it. Its only a month, D and I been apart for three months at a time."

"I know but I love him and he said he needed me.. no one has ever needed me before, truth of the matter is I need him just as much."

"I promise you LiLi you'll be fine."

I seen her think for a minute before she just blurts out,

"LiLi do you ever wonder if Joey's the one"

"the one what? The one I want to like be with forever?"

She seemed to study me anxiously waiting on my answer.

"Jen you know how much bullshit it was in the begining but honestly from the first night we were together it was different. It was supposed to be just a one night thing, but I couldnt stop thinking about him. Somehow the stars alined and what we ended up with is something I done think neither one of us expected to happen but it hit both of us like a ton of bricks. Now I cant picture not being with him even though he cant be so agrivating at the same point when he is he says or does something that just makes my heart skip a beat. I know its cheesy and please dont go tell him or D..."

"I promise"

"The last couple weeks Ive had this dream that he asks me to marry him and it was the most romantic beautiful thing."

"Really... what exactly did he do?"

Jenny had this odd look in her eye, I couldnt put my finger on it.

"Ok you promise you wont laugh?"

"Of course not"

"Ok He takes me back home to meet his family and he askes if I wanted to go to the beach and take a walk and when we do somehow we end up on this like cliff over looking the water and the sunsetting. I get a text on my phone and all it said was look up. When I look up he is down on his knee with the ring in his hand and the sunset behind him."

"What did you say, what would you say?"

"what would I say what? If he asked me?"

"Yeah what would you say"

"Seriously Jenny?"

"Yeah seriously, what would you say?"

"Why are you even asking?"

"dude were talking about the dream, Im curious"

"I wouldnt have to think about it, not even a second Id say yes."
