Chapter 31 [Wedding Bells...]

Romans 1:26

For this reason God gave them up to dishonourable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature..

Last night was an absolute trip. The embarrassment lingered with me for too long after i left Aaliyah's room. I dont know what in the world possessed me to propose to this woman, maybe the same thing that made me tell her that i was a muslim....

I loved her even more with the fact all that she did was accept me and love me regardless of what i used to be, which makes me even angrier that we aren't engaged right now. I love this woman with every bane of my existence

She is poetry in motion and i dont want to lose her, that's exactly what i remember thinking as i randomly walked into the jewellers store yesterday and picked out the first ring i saw.. and again as i purchased it and again as i stupidly rushed up to her door with a massive smile on my face with it sticking out in my pocket, like a sore thumb.

I just wanted to make sure she was mine forever, but looking at everything now i actually am glad that she said no because we wouldn't have been ready or at least thats what i keep telling myself.

I look at the clock and see the early time of 7:00am as i am getting ready for yet another draining day at work. i put on my tank top off and replace it with my long sleeve black and navy blue crew neck uniform and my uniform trousers.

I finally wear my shoes and leave my room. I look across the hall and waste no time knocking on aaliyah's door..

"come in!" She says as i open the door slowly and try to keep all thoughts away when i see her in her pj's and her bonnet with some locs showing. Even this is dangerous for me to be around... God be with us and lead us not into temptation....

"You still in bed?" I say playfully before standing at her side and kissing her cheek. She kept silent and smiled up at me with puffy eyes.

"Whats wrong?" I ask while tilting my head. She covers her mouth with her hand and used the other to point at the door,

"get out" she said in a muffled voice. Im so tired of fighting, what in the world else can i do to satisfy this woman.

"Aaliyah, i love you but you confuse the hell out of me woman... what else am i supposed to do for you?" Her eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"Morning breath, Einstein." My face was hit with realisation and i nodded my head before covering my nose playfully and backing far away from her.

"So thats what that was.." i say while laughing as she throws a pillow at my head.

"I dont know whats so funny? If we were married this is what you would wake up to everyday." She said pointing to her mouth

"I get more and more grateful for you saying no everyday..." I say l putting my hands in a prayer position and looking up to the sky. Her squinting her eyes makes me laugh even harder
