The Assassin's Weakness✔️

49:Where?

We walk into the house and I tell him to cover his eyes.

"Why?"

"Do it, please." He covers his eyes and I lead him to the backyard "Open them." His eyebrows lift as his eyes widen and his face retracts to softness "I wanted to thank you for being so good to me then you upstage me by proposing but I still want to thank you and show how much I appreciate you for everything you do." I stand in front of him

"Thank you." He places a kiss on my forehead "What are we watching?"

"Your favourite movie."

"Purple hearts?"

"Uhm, no, that's my favourite movie."

"The proposal?"

"Yes." He does not like the movie but he likes to pretend that he does so I do not feel guilty about wanting to watch it a billion times. We are actually going to watch The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

As the movie starts he looks over at me and I just smile before taking a bite of my chocolate. Khanyi is asleep in between us.

We watched the movie before I took Khanyi to bed and we stayed outside, enjoying wine and vodka with snacks.

"You know, more than anything, you have made me a better man."

"No, I don't deserve the credit for that."

"Oh but you do, I was an arrogant piece of shit when I met you. I was hotheaded, I bottled up my emotions because I thought that is what it means to be a man, I felt entitled to you, to your time and presence. You taught me to look in the mirror and see beyond my projections. You helped me gather the strength to define what being a man is to me. In my eyes, your support helped me become the man I am today, a man worthy of marrying you."

"Whatever has you in this confessional mood needs to happen more often. I love you, Kai, I always will and in anything you do, I will always support you and I hope you will do the same for me." We got out of the pool and headed for our bedroom. We slept in each other's embrace.

Waking up and noticing the ring on my bedside is the most surreal experience. I always knew I would get married but parts of me had given up hope that he would be the one to get down on a knee for me.

I feel his hands wrap tighter around my waist. He strokes my neck with his nose, he is so horny in the morning.

"Good morning, husband-to-be." He smiles before placing a kiss on my forehead

"Good morning, wife-to-be." What luck can it be to have an amazing person such as Kaiser. He heads to the bathroom, I take a moment to take it all in before I head to the shower.

We talked, we will wait until I am done with school to have the wedding ceremony. I will not have my degree reflect his surname.

"What is that?" Sue asks sitting next to me,

"What? Do I have a bug on me?"

"No, on your finger, it is so nice."

"Oh, Kai proposed last night." She screams and comes to hug me

"Congratulations! How do you feel?"

"Excited, scared, happy and so many other emotions but the winning emotion is happiness."

"I can see why you have that glow on you."

"No baby, that's just me every other day." We laugh and she looks at the ring

"So when are you getting married?"

"Why are you getting married?" Thato asks as she sits down in front of Sue.
