“Melani, come here right now.”
“Excuse me Sir”
“Do you know what it does to me when you call me that? Now I said come here and I meant every word.”
“O..OK”
I slowly make my way towards Thomas while our eyes are so focused on each other we felt like one person. I make it to the other side of the counter and as soon as I am close enough I am embraced in the big strong arms that I have dreamed about for the last two weeks. I have talked to all my friends and my sister and they all say that I should let my heart follow its own beat. Whatever that means I have no idea what I am doing.
“Good-little Melani”
“S…so what did you need Si..Thomas.” I correct myself as soon as I realize what I was about to say again. Damn what is with the stuttering all of the sudden? I ask myself.
“I.Need.You.Melani.”
He smashed his lips so hard into mine I thought we would sucked into one anothers mouth to live forever in the warmth. Soon I pull back out of breath and lips quivering. My mind is so damn jumbled that I have to go anywhere but here in his arms. I pull out of his arms and turn to go to my office and as soon as I get to the kitchen I hear him hot on my heels. I finally reach my office door and am hoping he doesn’t follow me in. well I hoped wrong , we were in the room with the door locked before I could take a full breath.
“ I have a proposal for you Miss Melani.
“And what pray tell is this proposal.”
I swore time just stood still. As he made his way to his knee.
“Marry Me Melani?”
