“Oh yeah, that sounds wonderful because I’m starving, and I didn’t want to eat at the mall,” I say, rubbing my tummy, grinning.

“Good, because I cooked some steaks, your favorite. Let’s eat before it gets cold,” Michail says, taking my hand in his, lacing our fingers.

We walk into the kitchen nook, and I gasp, raising my hand to my mouth, gazing up at Michail.

“Babe, you’re so sweet; the table looks so romantic,” I whisper, smiling.

“Baby girl, I'm glad that you like my efforts. Have a seat, and I’ll get our plates,” Michail says, smiling.

“Oh, the roses are so beautiful,” I say, grabbing the vase.

I close my eyes, inhaling the sweet rose scent, smiling.

Michail returns with the two plates, placing them on the table. He sits on his chair, pulling up next to me, smirking.

He looks so happy, and his eyes have a sparkle, and I know that he’s up to something. He’s like a little boy, and I can always tell he’s going to do or say something.

Michail is my everything.

“Baby girl, did you enjoy your day with Scarlett? I really missed you,” Michail says, taking his knife and fork to cut his steak.

“Oh yeah, I did. I saw so many cute outfits for the baby, and I fell in love with the beautiful crib,” I tell him as I’m slicing my steak.

“Why didn’t you get it,” Michail asks, shoving his fork with the steak into his mouth.

I watch him eat because I love those lips. He smiles, and I look up, grinning.

“Babe, because I want you to be with me and help me select a crib,” I say, grabbing the butter dish.

I take a tad of butter with my fork dropping it onto my baked potato.

Yum.

“Baby girl, we can go get the crib whenever you want,” Michail says, taking another bite of steak.

“Ok, that sounds great,” I say, nodding and leaning back into the chair, rubbing my tummy.

“Babe, I loved the steak, the roses, and the music. Thank you,” I say, tearing up.

I rub my hands over my cheeks, take off the tears, inhale deeply, closing my eyes.

I’m such a crybaby.

“Baby girl, don’t cry; I can’t stand it. I love you with my entire soul,” Michail says, taking my hand.

He holds my hand as he falls onto his knee, gazing up with his warm eyes.

“Leticia Maria Sanchez, you’re the light in my darkness, my soul mate, the reason that my heart beats. I love you. Baby girl, will you marry me,” Michail asks in a raspy voice.

Oh my god, he’s so beautiful.

I gaze into his beautiful brown eyes, feeling his soul, his love. I know that he loves me and will never hurt me. I know that we will create a beautiful family full of love and respect.

“Yes, yes! I love you,” I whisper, smiling. Tears fall down my cheeks as I blink rapidly.

“Fuck yes,” Michail growls, pushing the ring onto my finger.

I look at the breathtaking huge diamond engagement ring.
