Falling For The Mermaid

5. ENGAGED

THEON’S POV               

Waking up next to the girl of my dreams just made me very happy. We usually had our bonding moment in the bathroom. I couldn’t help but kiss her, touch her, lick every part of her before I finally get to making love to her in the shower. She loved the morning glory thing and I don’t think her days had ever been better or happier.

After our quick brief moment because of her work, she went downstairs to prepare breakfast for the two of us. I remained in our room making the bed. I was certain when I took the part to help her out in everything that she was doing.

She prepared breakfast but this day was a different one. Once she set the table and called me to dine with her, I refused to do that. She was a bit alarmed and thought I was joking about everything but that was not the case. I never wanted breakfast from her today. I had my reasons.

She tried figuring out what was happening between us but I was too rigid to tell her what was really happening to me. For almost ten minutes of begging me to be open to her, she had to leave for work because otherwise she would be late and to add salt to the injury, we were having fight and she never knew how best she would fix that,

Once she was completely gone, I munched on the breakfast she had prepared. I loved her food and there is no way I would fail to dine on it even for one second.

I had planned this particular day and I hopped she would like what I was going to do today. I wanted her to be uncertain with everything at first so that she could be certain about me and everything else in the end.

I got to our dressing room and got ready for the day. I wore a white tuxedo that I had bought just the other day for this occasion. I paired the tuxedo with very good leather shoes. My perfume and cologne were on point before I decided to leave the house.

My credit card was in my hands as I started my hunt to look for the best diamond ring I would find so that I can use it to propose to my girl.

After going into more than three shops in town, I finally managed to get my taste. The ring was sleek and it had a star like decoration at the middle. She was my star girl and I knew that she would love everything that I was doing.

I forgot to say this, but I had not picked her calls all day. I was kind of serious when I talked about killing her hopes then fixing them fully at the end of the day.

Once I was done buying the ring, I went forth to a florist and had her pick me the best whit e roses, pink roses and red roses. Actually it was a bouquet of it. I was going to make this proposal thing so grand and it will surely sweep her off her feet.

It was clocking 1:00 pm and that meant that I had to go and do what I had dreamt of doing for the past four years. Of course I was nervous of the uncertainty. What if the proposal is not good enough or what if she does not like it. I was not going to doubt if she will say yes or no because I already knew her answer. She was in love with me and I knew like the back of my hands that she would want to spend time with me till we die and even after death.

I blew several breaths before I went into the building where she worked. She had not taken me to her office yet but I would just ask the people I meet up with and at the end of the day, I will not only know her office, but the place she dines with her friends and workmates.

I walked to the elevator and got to the floor of their company and particularly her department. I asked the receptionist to do me that favor of taking flowers to her and she gladly did. I swear she is the kindest receptionist that I have ever met. In other places, this people will not give you that chance to even book an appointment with the boss. The excuse they will give is that the boss is so very busy blah blah.

She come back with a yellow smile etched in her face and she told me that Tiffany enjoyed the flowers. My heart was melting with joy when I heard this from her. I couldn’t wait to see the look on her face when she finally sees me on my knees proposing to have a future with her.

Five minutes passed before I went to the dining where I was very sure that I would find her in there. I walked in there and she did not notice my presence till I tapped her in the back and asked her to follow me. She was still mad to some extent since I did not eat her food and I knew that I was going to clear the air as early as now. I made her stand with me and before it started feeling weird, I went down on my knee after pulling out the white pyramid shaped box that contained the ring.

Her mouth was in a perfect letter O and her teeth were all out. I have never seen her this happy. I hope that after our marriage, we will live together forever and I will always maintain the happiness that I have seen today on her face.

“I love you cup cake. Ever since I met you as a freshman in collage. You were so pretty and now you are even prettier. You make me so happy ever since then. I can never want someone else and that is because I am rooted to you. My heart beats for you every second. I can cross the ocean to meet you. I don’t want to waste any more time because I have gotten the woman of my dreams. Tiffany Brown, will you marry me?” I was very poetic in the whole proposal statement saying word by word because every word had a strong meaning.

She was still surprised and never said something for the next couple of seconds. I can’t lie that I was not feeling all tensed up. She should say something real quick because I don’t really know what to do or how to react right now she is silent.

“Yes Theon Woods, I will marry you,” I carefully put a ring in her finger. She held me as I stood up and we hugged for a couple of minutes. I never noticed there were people around us till they started clapping for us.

They also started chanting kiss her, kiss her and I had to do what the crowd had requested for. We kisses for a very long time without thinking of it as weird. We are officially going to get married in the next couple of weeks.

Her boss was in the dining together with her other colleagues. After my proposal, she gave her an afternoon off so that we could enjoy and celebrate the new status in our lives.

I was in cloud nine. We held each other’s hand as we got out of the office. We headed to a five star restaurant to munch on delicacies before we finally headed home carrying wine with us. We tossed to a happy marriage filled with happiness and peace then drank to that.

Afterward, with us still tipsy, I made love to my wife to be. It tasted different I don’t know if the reason is that she is officially mine but I just felt ecstatic tingles throughout my body when I got into her. The sweet tingles were all over my body starting from the tip of my hair to the tip of my little toe.

After our moment. We got to a nap holding each other. We were not going to let go anytime soon.

I don’t know how asleep I was or was it day dreaming or flashback but I saw myself that day on the ocean. I had almost stopped breathing and kicking my legs and I knew death would come by but then I felt a certain pain by a tear on my skin. That was followed by being picked by something outside the water.

Actually, I was pulled for a very long distance for I felt that pull constantly. I woke up to this and looked at my leg and I saw the same mark. I used Tiffany’s phone to google. I didn’t know if I could do this but I was googling about mermaids. How the scratch with the fin of their tail could look like.

I was entirely shocked when the image provided looked thee same with what was in my leg. Maybe that mermaid was saying the truth. If that is the truth then she saved my life and I had to go back to her and say thank you. I really have to go back to the ocean real quick.
