Upgraded

I'm surprised Erik didn't go back to where ever he was after my graduation, knowing he got a job well multiple he would be gone by now but he isn't. He bought me a Rolex even crystal necklaces because he knows how spiritual and natured I am, I looked at him as he took off his shirt, "come on erik," I said "I'm not about to buss my ass on those rocks the hell," he said I giggle "you're not you just gotta keep your balance come on," I grab his hand, he sighed knowing he wasn't getting out of this, I carefully walked on the rocks to get to the taller ones in the waterfall. I look behind me at the waterfall, it was beautiful I always loved nature, it was so calming to me.

"Erik will you ever date again?" I ask randomly, I don't know how I would ask that question just so random and awkward now thinking about it, "very soon" he said, "so what will happen with us then?" I ask looking up at him he didn't know what to say, because he couldn't give away what he wanted to do, "you'll still be around, you ain't goin nowhere," he said "ion think your future girlfriend would like that," he chuckled with his smirk "naw," he says, later that night erik wanted to take me out so I find something to wear but I wanted it cute and simple.

I tried it on and I loved it, I fix my curly fro meanwhile erik was actually putting on a tux, I never seen him wear one, couldn't lie he looked good in it, very handsome. I spray my perfume on then walked out, "you look handsome erik," I smile softly "never seen a street nigga in tux?" He chuckles "I'm yea sometimes but I never thought you would wear one," I said he turns around looking at me, "you look beautiful girl," he smiles "thank you, I just felt like going simple," I said "you ready to go?" He asks I nodded.

40 minutes later

"So what's next you gotta apply to work at a hospital or some?" He asks "yea I'm actually assigned to this one hospital in Atlanta," I said "damn you gone be workin in the A shit," he said "what Youn have penthouse there?" I laugh "girl don't act like I can't buy a five houses there," I laugh even more "okay stop flexing Erik, so um.. Erik we've been knowin each for a few months I really wanna know what the scars mean," I said he leans back in his seat thinking, it made her a bit nervous. "Each scar is for a kill," he said my eyes went wide "all of them?" I ask he nodded "mhm, mostly these were for special missions some because of my past, the ones who tried to backstab me or was a snake," he said.

"Wow, I know they hurt for them basically covering all over your torso," I said he chuckles a bit "it's not bad I got used to this shit, it's my life, but it does weigh down on me," he said "that's a lot of shit you been through Erik, by yourself?" He nods I sighed, "wow, I'm sorry erik," I said "naw don't be, but I'm just glad I met you," he says I start to smile "really?" I ask "yea you ain't loud, ratchet and shit.. you very laid back and calm one with nature," I snort "don't start with that Erik," I said "naw for real.. you never really gave me any problems at all, you keep me calm at night I never really slept so comfortably before not even with my ex.. it seems I have less breakdowns when I'm with you malaiya, but all in all I wanna say is I wanna change the agreement we have," he says.

I furrow my brows confused "what you talkin about?" I ask.

"The dom and submissive agreement.. now that I've been thinkin, I want this to be on a nother level, I never felt this way inna whole three years, I wanna tell you this," he says pulling out a small box, I stare at it "I want chu to be my peace, be all mine," he says he pulls out a small ring "e-Erik wha-what? What is this?" I sniffle "a ring I got fo you to show that you mines, soon it will be a full promise ring," he grabs my hand putting it on my finger. I was shocked I don't know what to even ask I got questions, I just don't know it so much, Erik even put on a ring for himself this man is a whole different man.

I never seen a man do this ever in my life before, "Erik why are you doing this why me though? I don't think I'm the girl you want," I said he squeezed my hand not to tight as he looks me dead in the eyes "baby.. if you think because you not one of those girls who be shakin they ass for a nigga to even get attention  from a nigga is gone mean you not the one I want you wrong ma, ion want that at all.. I tell you stuff ion tell nobody ever not even my ex's, that's means a lot," he says he stands up lifting my hand signaling for me to get up as well, we walk away from the table.

He takes me to the balcony, "I wanna also say.. thank you, for understanding me," he said I look up towards him "you're welcome," I said, I grab his chin pulling him into a soft kiss, he wraps his arms around my waist, his lips latch to my bottom lip as he stares into my eyes, knowing we're in a restaurant kinda made me nervous and self conscious I just started to not care if somebody was watching it was not like they never kissed or seen anybody kiss before. "Erik" i whispered, "stop worryin about them let them watch," he says he kiss me.
