"Ermiassss" I laughed walking across the bridge behind Kierra who held onto the sides of the bridge shaking and scared out of her mind.

"Keep going"

I rocked side to side to make the bridge swing, Kierra screamed in terror holding on tight.

"Ermias stop fucking playing"

"You scared for nothing we harnessed in on this shit if it fall we good"

"You aren't helping"

I had Kierra out here at Tree Limin' Extreme zip lining and I never laughed so hard, this was the easiest part of the zip lining, the worst was yet to come.

"What possessed you to want to do something like this?"

"You gonna love it once we get up there"

The view of the island and Kierra were beautiful, even with her up here shaking over her fear of heights she still kept pushing to participate.

"Alright, my bad you know I got you" I placed my hands on her sides to help her across the bridge.

"We have to climb up higher? Oh hell no" I laughed at her realizing we had to go higher to get to the top.

"We almost there"

She climb the stairs to the top, Kierra took a deep breath looking off at the view.

"God is really an artist, look at this"

I liked how spiritual she was, I pulled my phone out unlocking it.

"Aye my man can you get a picture of us"

"Sure, sure" He directed us to step closer to one another, I stood behind Kierra with one arm around her waist and the other up in the air throwing up the set.

"Thanks man" I looked at the few pictures he took all of them was looking good and I knew my mom and dad was gonna love seeing it.

"Alright who's going first?"

"I am cause I gotta see how she look coming down"

Kierra stuck her middle finger up while the man fixed me up on the line with my harness, I tightened my helmet waiting on the mans go ahead.

"You can go"

"Naybahoooooood" I yelled jumping and gliding on the line watching the trees fly by me, shit felt amazing.

I got to the other platform getting unhooked and waiting on Kierra's arrival, I got my phone out to record.

"What's taking so long?" The operator mumbled looking up, I held my phone up just in time to hear Kierra scream from the top of the mountain.

I laughed and recorded seeing her flying down holding tightly to the top of her harness with her eyes shut right. Kierra reached the platform with her eyes still shut.

"You made it"

"I really do hate you"

Kierra replied smiling, even if she was scared she still was having a good time and that's all I cared about.

"I'm proud of you Key you faced ya fears"

"Whatever happen to laying on the beach and drinking pina coladas?" She joked removing her harness.

"We about to go do that cause we got plans for tonight"

I was gonna make sure we got to do everything within this weekend, if I had it my way this shit would have been a whole week.

"I need extra rum in my drink"

I put my arm over her shoulder walking back down the mountain taking in the scenery and fresh air.

"I was skeptical about this date weekend" Kierra spoke looking up at me " But I'm having a really good time"

"Word, me too you really good company"

Kierra enjoyed the simple things in life and I loved that the most about her it didn't take much to please her or to have fun she was easy going and down to earth.

................

Kierra laid comfortably in Nipsey arms drinking her Pina Colada with extra white rum, the sun shined down on the clear blue water while the trees helped keep the shaded.

"I only dreamed about places like this never did I think I would end up here"

"I'm gonna make sure whenever I travel you and your son are included y'all deserve to see and experience other places even if it's the next state over"

"I'm embarrassed I couldn't do those things for my son on my own" Kierra laid back on Nipsey shirtless and tattooed chest enjoying the sight of the clear blue ocean.

" Nothing to be embarrassed about and I'm going to make sure you get in the position to be able to"

Kierra looked up at Nipsey at the same time he looked down, their lips finding their way to each other. A soft moan escaped her lips, it had been so long since she felt like this.

"We taking it slow" Nipsey reminded after breaking the kiss, he didn't want her to feel like this trip was only to get her in bed.

"Right, sorry"

"You good just want you to know I brought you out here to get to know you on a deeper level"

"So far what do you think?"Kierra questioned with curiosity laced in her voice.

"I think we mesh well and I didn't expect for us to have so many things in common"

"Can you see yourself doing this for a while?"

Kierra didn't want something temporary she was ready to spend forever with someone and hopefully that someone was Nipsey.

"With you? I need more than a while" She blushed sipping her drink to cool down her warm cheeks.

"What do you have planned for us tonight?"

"Thought I should set up a real date night for you, I know you cool with just doing whatever but I wanna romance you and give you a preview on what you would be getting into if you settled down with me"

"Settled down? Sounds like you are the one ready for commitment" Kierra laughed but Nipsey stayed serious making her laugh die down "Are you?"

"I am but don't take that as me speeding this up, I don't want to scare you off by coming on too strong"

"Agreed"

.............

"Shit" Nipsey cursed under his breath seeing Kierra come out the bathroom in the dress for their dinner date.

"It's not too much? I can change if it -

"Nah you look fine as hell, wit ya thigh out and everything"

"You dressed up nicely too the the bow tie and everything"

Kierra stepped closer to Nipsey helping straighten his bow tie, he looked down on her picturing her right hand with a wedding ring fixing his tie for their wedding reception.

"You look handsome"

"You make me look better" He loved the way she blushed making her dimples more prominent.

Nipsey took Kierra's hand leading her out of their hotel room down to the lobby to be picked up by car service for their dinner.

"Watch ya step" He helped her climb into the back of the SUV before getting in himself.

" My mom gonna lose her mind when she seen I put on a suit and bow tie"

"It's a good look on you"

Again Nipsey day dreamed that they were dressed up to celebrate their wedding, Kierra was rocking a nice ring to match his.

"I think ya outfit missing one thing"

"It does?" Kierra looked down at her dress disappointingly, Nipsey slid his short chain over his head putting it over hers.

"Now you really look good"

"Why is it so heavy?" She laughed.

The driver pulled up front to the Oceana restaurant and bistro letting them out, Kierra took Nipsey's hand letting him lead her into the restaurant.

"You are all for picking perfect views I see"

"Clearly, cause you one of those perfect views"

Kierra felt her knees giving out slightly just from his comment, he had a way with words. The hostess greeted the couple leading them to the table with the view of the island.

"You eat seafood?" Nipsey asked looking at the menu.

"Of course"

"Good evening, can I start you off with some drinks?"

"Moët" The waitress smiled and wrote the order down.

"Are you guys celebrating?"

"Yeah celebrating how good she looking sitting over there"

Kierra lowered her head blushing, the waitress smiled nodding her head.

"That is a great thing to celebrate, would you like the bottle?"

"Yeah"

"Are you ready to order?" Nipsey looked to Kierra to check if she was ready.

"Yes can I have the Caribbean lobster"

"Same for me"

The waitress took the menus walking away, Kierra rubbed her cold arm from the breeze coming in, Nipsey noticed and stood up grabbing his suit jacket and putting it over her shoulders to warm her up

"You are always so thoughtful" Something she admired and loved about him.

"What I'm suppose to do" Nipsey shrugged.

He watched her stare at the view the lights shining in on her big brown eyes, his heart had skipped a beat. Nipsey was in love with the woman sitting across from him.

"I'm going to the bathroom" Nipsey got up without waiting on her reply finding the bathroom he went to the sink rubbing his face with a small amount of cold water from the sink

"Fuck are you doing nigga?"

He questioned himself through the mirror, this was the first date and he had love on his mind, on his heart. he got some towels drying off his face.

Nipsey sighed he was going to take a leap of faith this time and prayed he wouldn't scare Kierra off, taking a deep breath he got himself together mentally before returning back to the table.

"Everything okay? You feel okay?"

"I gotta be straight up with you and I hope I don't sound crazy or scare you off"

"Did I do something wrong?" Kierra stared him in the eye searching for an answer.

"Nah you doing everything right"

Nipsey paused letting the waitress put the bucket containing the bottle of champagne on ice before walking away.

"Okay so what's wrong? Isn't that a good thing"

"I'm gonna be straight up and straight forward, I'm in love wit you"

"W-what?"

Nipsey sighed nodding his head becoming quiet, he didn't want to come on strong and he didn't want her to run from him.

"You love me?" He nodded again pouring himself a drink gulping it down " I thought I was going to scare you off by telling you the same thing"

His head shot up at Kierra's confession, now it was her turn to guzzle down the flute of champagne.

"I was afraid that you would shut me down because you wanted to move slow" Kierra added.

"I was moving slow to not scare you"

They shared a laugh realizing they were on the same page with their feelings.

"Now what? What do we do now?"

Two weeks of knowing each other and love was already apart of the equation, Kierra remembered the words from Nipsey on the plane " There is no time stamp on soulmates"

"Be my wife" Her mouth went dry.

"Like hood wife ? Where I'm your girlfriend but you call me your wife?"

He shook his head reaching across the table grabbing her hand and looking her square in the eyes with a serious look on his face.

"Be my wife, marry me Kierra"

"W-when?" She stumbled over her words from being caught off guard.

"Tomorrow"

For the first time Kierra was speechless, she blinked rapidly trying to see if she was dreaming and if she would wake up still on the plane or back home in Los Angeles, she calmed herself down enough to breathe out a reply.

"Yes"
