Khia POV

'I put my feelings on safety

So I don't go shootin' where your heart be

'Cause you take the bullet tryna save me

Then I'm left to deal with makin' you bleed

And that's a whole lotta love, ain't tryna waste it

Like we be runnin' a mile to never make it

That's just too bitter for worse, don't wanna taste it

That's just too bitter for worse, don't wanna face it

But I think that I'm done trippin', I'm trip-trippin'

I've been sippin', that's how I control

This feelin', you keep givin'

You keep on hittin' it ooh, oh

Maybe it's your love, it's too good to be true

Baby boy, your love, got me trippin' on you

You know your love is big enough, make me trip up on you

Yeah, it's big enough, got me trippin' on you, trip-trippin' on you.'

Elle Mai's trip song was playin when I woke up. I looked next to me and tiago must've gotten outta bed before me. I wiped my eyes and forced myself to be up for the day even though I wasn't done sleeping. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Smelling the aroma of sausages and blueberry pancakes, I followed and saw tiago preparing our plate of food. I hugged him from behind and he said , "hey you."

"Hey yourself."

He turned to look at me and kissed me on the lips.

"Why is this radio so loud babe? I can barely hear myself talk."

"You'll see when I'm done."

"Done doing what?"

"Making breakfast."

"Okay."

I walked to the living room and turned the blinds at a angle so the sunlight can shine in our house. Once tiago was done cooking breakfast, he gave me my plate of food and on the plate he spelled out the words 'marry me' using fresh, half cut strawberries.

"What's this Tiago?",I said laughing nervously. He kneeled down on one knee and started talking.

"It's no secret that I love you and you love me. We've been through a lot together within a year and I know we'll go through some more challenging things in the future but for now, I just want to solidify our relationship and take it to the next level. It's not gonna take me another year to realize what I have in front of me which is a diamond in the rough. It's not gonna take me another year to realize that I'm not living if your not here with me. It's not gonna take me another year to realize that I should've made you my wife before someone snatches you away from me. I want to spend my forever with you. I want to have kids with you and grow a family with you khia. I've spent the last couple of days doing everything that I can to make this proposal perfect but I couldn't and I didn't want to wait any longer. There's no perfect time to ask you to be my wife. That's why I'm asking now will you marry me?"

Tears flowed down my face as I said yes. He took my promise ring off and put the new ring on my finger. I hugged him so tight and love on him even more. Who would of thought a girl like me would be a wife after spending years of being another man's sidechick. I guess the saying that a man's trash is another man's treasure is true and I really felt like a treasure at this moment. This was the love of my life that I'm about to marry and I just had to tell everyone that I know. We danced in the living room as he kissed me softly on my lips and wiped the tears from my eyes.

"You deserve everything that I could offer you mi amor. Te amó mucho."
