Daphne and I were out for yet another date night. I was going to ask her to move in with me since both her and Cristian were practically living at my place, but I wanted to officially ask her.

We were sitting across from the each other in this Soul Food restaurant that was downtown. I will admit that when we first arrived here, we had gotten so many shameless stares from many families at many surrounding tables. Even the employees were staring as well, but they didn't really make it as obvious. I guess they weren't really used to a couple like us walking into the restaurant considering how a fourth of the customers were predominantly black with a few Hispanic men or women sprinkled here and there.

"So are you feeling full?" She asked.

"Oh yeah I am. This place is great," I smiled softly.

"Chastity told me about it. Her and Bryson come here sometimes," She tells me.

"Ah. I see," I nodded.

"I must remembered that your mom asked me if we would go with her and your dad to Culebra, Puerto Rico for spring break," She informed me.

"Well it all depends on you. Do you want to go or do you want to stay home?" I queried.

"Sure. We can go. I've always wanted to go to Puerto Rico," She smiled.

"Well then I'll tell my mother that we'll go with them later on when we get home," I replied.

"Okay," She nods.

"But aside from our spring break plans, I have something to ask you," I said.

"Which is?" She asked. I got down on one knee and she gasped as I pulled out a velvet box.

"Are you about to do what I think you're doing?" She questioned.

"Are you going to let me talk?" I said.

"Shut up, Samuel," She rolled her eyes.

"Anyways, will you move in with me?" I opened the box.

"Yes. You really didn't have to do this whole 'getting-down-on-one-knee' thing," She tells me.

"I wanted to make it special," I responded.

"It was special, but you had me all excited because I thought you were going to propose," She said.

"My proposal for marriage will be much more extravagant than this," I said as I sat back down in my seat.

"Let me guess hot air balloon date? Writing down clues that send me all over town?" She asked with a small smile.

"Pfft. No," I lied. I decided on erase what I had for proposal ideas in my phone. She giggled and I smiled softly.

"Sam, when you propose to me for marriage, just be yourself. Don't go all out for me," She said.

"Well you deserve the best, Daphne, and I am going to give it to you," I placed my hand on top of hers.

"That's so sweet, Sam," She smiled.

"Also. Just know that when I do, you won't be expecting it," I said.

"Alright, Samuel," She smiled.

"Moving in. Is it a yes or a no?" I inquired.

"Yes," She replied.

"Good because I thought I was going to have to force you," I grinned.

"Force me? How?" She scrunched her eyebrows together in confusion.

"I have my ways, Daphne. I have my ways," I smirked.

"You're so nasty, Sam," She shook her head.

"Thank you very much, Daphne," I said.

"Whatever," She scoffed.

After eating, we paid for dinner then went out to my car. I throw the keys to Daphne who has been begging to drive my new car which is a Aston Martin One-77. I finally gave in and decided to let her drive it. I'm not one of those guys who doesn't let his girlfriend drive his car because he thinks she'll crash it or something. Plus it was pretty sexy to see her drive my car.

"I can't believe that you're allowing me to drive it," She said.

"It's pretty sexy to see you drive," I replied. She giggled as we pulled out of the parking lot of the restaurant.

"Have you let your past girlfriends drive your cars?" She asked.

"No because they all couldn't drive themselves," I answered.

"Really?" She questioned.

"Yeah. You're the first one that can," I tell her.

"Sam, you need to be happy that you upgraded from a no driving ass girlfriend to one that can," She explained.

"I'm more than happy because now you can start driving me around," I tell her.

"I am not a chauffeur," She hissed. I chuckled and then I looked out the window.

"I know. You're my beautiful girlfriend," He smiled.

"Don't you forget it, buddy," She responded.

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes. It was silent for a few minutes before she spoke up again.

"I think I'll return the favor one of these days," She said as we pulled up to the red light.

"What favor?" I asked.

"I'll give you a blowjob," She bluntly stated.

"I'll be looking forward to it," I smirked. She giggled then continued driving once the light turned green. I placed my hand on her thigh. I gave it a light squeeze and she bit her bottom lip.

When we arrived at her house, she turned off the car and handed me the keys. She leaned over and kissed me. I kissed her back. We pulled away and I got out to walk her to her door.

"I'll come over tomorrow to help you start packing," I said.

"Okay, Sam," She smiled.

"I'm glad that you agreed to move in with me," I smiled softly.

"Me too," She kissed my cheek before heading inside. I walked back to my car and I got in. I drove back home.

When I got to my room, I called my mom to tell her the news.

"Sam, how did it go? Did she say yes?" She asked.

"Well hello to you too, Mother," I mumbled.

"Sorry. Hi, Samuel. How did it go? Did she say yes?" She queried.

"Yes it did, Mother. It went very well in fact," I answered.

"I am so happy for you two. I have been waiting for the day that you two officially move in together. I mean what was the point in going back and forth when all of her stuff was practically at your house," She said.

"I guess you're right," I replied.

"You guess? I am right," She said.

"Alright, Mother," I chuckled.

"I asked Daphne if you two wanted to go to Culebra with your father and I for spring break," She tells me.

"Daphne told me about it during dinner and we are going for sure," I responded.

"That's wonderful. We are going to have so much fun there. You won't regret it," She excitedly said.

"Why do I feel like I am?" I joked.

"Oh shut up, Sam. You will be able to spend time with her," She said.

"I hope so," I added.

"You are so needy," She sighed.

"Well if needy means that I need to be able to spend time with my girlfriend and possibly future wife, then yes I am needy," I explained.

"Whatever, Samuel. I'll talk to you later," She said.

"You too, mom. You too," I replied.

"I love you, Samuel," She said.

"I love you too, mom," I smiled. I hung up the phone before going to my bathroo, to shower and get ready for bed.

The next day, I was at Daphne's house helping her pack her things. She decided to give her couch, her desk, and her dining room set to her cousin Isabela who had just bought a new place with her husband.

"What time is your cousin supposed to come pick it up?" I asked.

"Umm...at around four o'clock. They're bringing a moving truck with them so they can take it over to their house," She answered.

"And the bed?" I asked.

"The plan for the bed is that everything, except for the mattress, is going to my fifteen year old cousin Cherish because she's been asking her mom for a bigger bed for the longest," She explained.

"This going is to take at least three or four days for you to sell everything or give it away," I tell her.

"Well it's a good thing that we got started," She smiled.

"Yeah it is," I agreed.

"So all of your books are going to be taken to my house?" I queried.

"Yes," She nods.

"Are you selling the bookshelf?" I asked.

"No. Chastity wants it and I'm giving it to her," She sighed. Did I hear a little sadness from that sigh?

"What's wrong? Is this about the bookshelf?" I asked.

"Yes. I bought that two weeks after I bought this place," She informed me.

"I guess it's pretty special then," I said.

"You have no idea," She mumbled. I chuckled.

"Don't worry. I can always buy you another," I smiled.

"Do you mean it?" She asked.

"Yes I do," I nodded.

"Okay. Thanks, Sam," She smiled softly.

"Now about that old record player in the dining room. What do we do about that?" I looked at her.

"If you don't mind, I'd rather keep it. My grandparents gave it to me when I bought this place. It was my father's," She replied.

"I see well then I have this empty room in my house which has a small book shelf and a chair in there. We put it in there along with his old records which I am sure you have," I explained.

"Sam, you're the best boyfriend ever. I am so damn lucky to have you," I see a tear run down her cheek. I walked over and wiped it away with my thumb. I cupped her face and kissed her forehead before resting mine against it. She smiled softly.

"Let's finish packing," I suggested.

"Okay," She nods. I kissed her on her lips this time. She smiled against my lips.
