Euphoria

Pray You Catch Me

"I think that you should take off tomorrow," Adonis suggests, while laying in bed and watching her put her bonnet on.

"I'm fine now, I was just a little sick earlier from the medication that they have me taking, but don't worry about me, I'm okay." She reassured her fiancé as she looked at herself in the mirror. 

Adonis could sense that she was putting on a brave face for him, just like she was normally used to doing. But being the sole provider of their family, and as father to her child, it was natural for him to feel concerned about her.

Bria looked up once she finished tying her scarf around her head, glancing at the reflection of her fiancé in the mirror. She knew he read right through her, and wasn't so easily convinced that she was okay. When she was done, she cuts off the light and climbs into bed joining him. She then leans in to kiss him, but he moves away, causing her kiss to land on his cheek.

"You know it's my natural instinct to worry about you." He speaks up, calmly yet sternly. "Your surgery is in a month and now with the new help you've hired at the gym I think you should be taking it easy and rest before your operation these next few weeks."

He then takes her hand, enclosing it with his larger one, and tilts her head up slightly so she could look at him in his eye.

"I know you're so used to helping out other people, I get that that's just in your nature, but now is the time for you to be taken care of. I've already made arrangements and talked with Uncle Rocky about adjusting my schedule so I could be with you and he gave me the clear. He's worried about you too. Just train the new hire and leave it up to the staff to help her out if she needs it, but after you train her, I want your ass in this house resting like you should be." He suggests sternly and returns her kiss from earlier on her lips.

She half smiles bashfully, looking into his eyes.

"This just isn't something that I'm used to..." Bria speaks up.

"Yeah, I know. But you're in good hands I promise you." He smirked, pecking her lips again.

"I know I am, and now that I'll be seeing you around the house more often I can put you to work." She smirks, biting her bottom lip.

"After this surgery is over I wanna plan for my wedding, I wanna have more babies with you, I wanna go on an uninterrupted bae-cation...I really loved that cabin." She pouted, pulling the covers over her and resting her head on his chest.

"I know you did and we can do all those things once you're healed and in remission. Let's get through one step at a time first though okay?" He says, placing a kiss on her forehead.

She nods.

"Although..." he drags out his thoughts.

"Although , what?" Bria asked Adonis anxiously , turning to look at him.

"We could technically go ahead and get married secretly at the courthouse and then just have a huge wedding celebration later." Adonis suggests.

Bria quickly sat up.

"Are you fucking with me? Or are you serious?"

"I'm fucking serious." He chuckled. "To me, I've already made that lifetime commitment with you as soon as you put that ring on your finger. I could care less about that wedding part to me the more intimate the better, but it is your day so it's up to you." Adonis suggests.

Bria blushes, placing her hand on his chest.

"I want to get married before my surgery." Bria admits. "Because, God forbid something happens and then I'll be stuck with the idea of what could have happened..." Adonis interrupts her with a kiss.
