《His Proposal》His Proposal - 28
Advertisement
Jai is in the kitchen cooking dinner for Nate and I. He looks at me. "Dinner is ready." He puts the food on a plate for me and brings it over. He cooked steak with beans, carrots and mushroom.
Looking at the sauce on the steak, I ask. "What sauce did you use?"
"Steak Diane."
A smile spreads across my face. That's my favourite sauce. "Thank you for cooking for us."
He kisses my cheek. "You're welcome." He looks down the hall. "Which room is your brothers?"
"His room is the one with the 'Keep Out' sign on it. I would knock on the door before I walk in. He hates it when people walk into his room without permission."
The door to my brother's bedroom opens and he makes a lot of noise as he walks down the hall. "Chloe," Nate yells. "Why did you call my friends parents?"
Turning towards my brother. "Those boy's parents needed to know what their sons are up to. Do you how those parents would feel if they found out there son is going to be a father at the age seventeen?" I wait for him to reply. When he doesn't I continue. "Of course you don't. I have seen what happens first hand. Do you remember my best friend Charlotte?"
Nate frowns. "Was she the girl that Mom and Dad told you to stay away from?"
"They thought she was a bad influence on me. They didn't want me to go down the same road as her. I watched her lose all her friends when they found out she was pregnant. I snuck out to see her all the time though. I was there when she gave birth and before I went to University. It wasn't easy for her to be a mother at a young age. She had to give up her dreams to be a good person for her child." I look at the ground. "I think about Charlotte and her daughter all the time, but I had been busy with my own life."

I should make time and call her.
Nate hugs me. "The guys are angry that you spoke to their parents. I'm going to pay for this tomorrow on the field." He walks into the kitchen and picks up his dinner. He walks back into the living room and sets the plate on the table.
"Nate, you're going to be fine on the field."
He shakes his head. "You don't know my friends that well. They do the most damage during practice games to those that have done wrong by them. Since they can't take it out on you I'll be their target. Thanks for that sis." He starts to eat his dinner.
Jai sits with us and eats his dinner. He looks at me. "I'm going to Lusive for a bit. I need to see how the new bartender is going. She's not as good as you are at the job."
"I can go back whenever you need me."
He shakes his head. "You need to stay with your sister. I would feel better knowing that you're in the safety of your house and not in the middle of fights when they break out at the club." Jai looks at Nate. "I'm taking your sisters to see my parents on Saturday and I was wondering if you would like to come?"
Nate freezes as he's about to bring the fork to his mouth. He looks at me. "Are we really going to a mansion on Saturday?"
"Yes, but we have to leave right after your football game on Friday night. I hope you didn't plan on going to a party?"
Nate shakes his head. "No," he turns to Jai. "I will be there. Are you going to come to my game on Friday night?"

Jai takes my hand. "If your sister's going to be there then I will be as well. I will buy a cap and one of those hand things and cheer you on from the sideline. I should ask for your signature before you get famous. I can say I knew that kid when he was on the football team in High School."
I listen to Jai and Nate talk during dinner. When I finish my dinner I rise and walk over to the kitchen. I start to feel dizzy and I hold onto the counter. I close my eyes.
"Chloe?" I hear the concern in Jai's voice as he said my name.
I keep my eyes closed and I raise my hand. "I'm fine. Just give me a minute." I feel arms wrap around me and I am lifted into strong arms.
"You're not alright, Chloe." Jai starts to walk down the hall. "I'm going to give you something to drink and you should take some cold and flu tablets." He opens the door to my bedroom and then I feel the bed underneath me. He pulls the blankets over me. "Stay awake a little longer."
"Okay," I mumble.
The door to bedroom closes and I know that Jai left my room. I start coughing and it shakes my bed. I open my eyes and the room starts to spin. I sit up in bed.
My phone vibrates on the table and I pick it up. It stops ringing and I see there's a voicemail that's been left. I dial the voice mailbox.
This woman is crazy.
Jai walks into the room at that moment. He looks at the phone and then at me. "Shit," he places the cup on the table next to me and pulls me into his arms. He kisses my head. "It's not your fault, Chloe. Those boys would have found a way to have sex. They probably wouldn't have used a condom. It's good that you're helping your brother with this kind of stuff."
Looking at him. "You were the one to give him a talk. I would be scared to have sex after the talk you gave Nate."
Nate opens the bedroom door. He walks into my room and sits on my bed. "Julie doesn't know her son as well as she should. Toby has been sleeping with all the popular girls at school since last year. I can't tell you how many girls have had close calls when it comes to Toby. I never wanted to be friends with that guy, but he's on the football team and everyone expects me to be friends with him."
I take the tablets. "Nate, you don't have to be friends with him." I close my eyes. "Call me if you have problems at school tomorrow. I will pick you up early." I feel arms wrap around me.
Nate whispers. "Thank you." he lets go of me. "I'm going to let you get some rest. Goodnight, Chloe." He walks out of the room and the door closes.
Jai brushes some of my brown hair out of my face. "I have to go. I will check on you later." He kisses my cheek before walking out of the room. He turns the light off and shuts the door.

Softest Lips | on hold
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝-"I just kissed the softest lips that god has ever madeAnd I am so in love with the girl to whom these lips he gave." Orianne was a lover girl, whom some considered a hopeless romantic, but she wouldn't dare let the opinions of others knock her off her pivot. She was a young woman who knew what she wanted, and to her, there was nothing wrong with that. She desired the husband, children, dates, random gifts, trips, family outings, and so on.Some would say the reason she can't keep a man is because her standards are high. Which is a ridiculous take. Yes, her standards may be "high," but that's because her father set the tone. She knows what she wants and how she's supposed to be treated, and if you're not giving her that, then you have to go. Out of the few men she has dealt with, she lets them know beforehand what she wants, and it's not her fault that they choose to lead her on under the impression that they wanted the same thing. Another reason men tend to leave her alone is because she's a woman of status, a woman of her word, and a woman about her business. She handles her own and has her own which tends to bruise a man's ego. When asked what she brings to the table, she has a solid answer. She doesn't just bring herself or her body-that's the bonus-she brings communication, trust, comprehension, stability, submission, commitment, and so on. The main question of the matter is, how will Miss. Orianne react when a 19 year old wants to sweep her off her feet and give her everything she wants and more?𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲: me
