Odell and Melanie meet through their mutual friend Jarvis. It feels like love at first sight but as they continue to grow together things get tough. Dealing with the life of a football player and a thriving business, will their relationship last? Wh...
Melanie POV Opening the box, I can't believe what's inside
It's an empty ring box, I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean
Until I find a card at the bottom that reads...
'Melanie, I know I mess up..all the time but my love for you is unreal. That's why I react the way I do sometimes. We've had a lot of good times together and I want to continue to build with you. If you meet me at this address tonight at 7, I'll give you the ring that belongs in this box' ~ Cam
A tear rolled out of my eye because, I don't know what to do
I can't say I don't deep down love Cameron, but at the same time I'm willing to start over with Odell
I rescheduled my business meeting for tomorrow so I could figure out what to do
I saw I had an incoming call from Odell and I immediately answered
📞 "Odell I have something to tell you--"
"Melanie"
I can tell by his voice that whatever he is about to say won't be good "What"
"I think we moved too fast, I need to be focused on this season right now and I don't know how else to say this but...I think we are better off as friends, for now at least"
Tears are rolling out of my eyes now and I'm in complete disbelief. I don't even know how to respond.
"Odell...how could you...after everything that just happened" I say full on crying now
"I know, I'm sorry...I still lov--"
I disconnected the call before he could even finish what he was about to say
I really thought Odell was different, but I guess not
Maybe Cameron proposing is a sign that he's who I'm supposed to be with
I guess I'll be meeting him tonight
I walk upstairs to my closet to decide what to wear and I come across this dress ⬇️

Before I make my way out the door I get a call from Jarvis, that I instantly decline
As I arrive at the address Cameron gave me, it's not where I expected
I debated on whether I should actually do this or not before I got out of my car
But, what do I have to lose at this point
Walking towards Cameron he's sitting inside of this frozen yogurt place called 'Tart' that I remember this is where we went after he lost to the Giants a few years back
"I can't believe you showed up" he says pulling out a chair for me
"I was just thinking the same thing" I laugh
"Well you know why I wanted you to meet me here..." he says licking his lips
"Mhmmm"
He got down on one knee and I started mentally freaking out "6 years ago we came here and you told me that you believed in me and you'd always be by my side after I lost the most crucial game...the next year I went to the Super Bowl...I want to tell you now that I believe in us and no matter what I'll be by your side...so Melanie, will you marry me?"
He was holding a different box now with this ring ⬇️

"Cam..."
"I want you to move back to North Carolina with me and live with me" he continues
My jaw is dropped and I'm completely dumbfounded
"Just say yes Melanie" he laughs putting the ring around my finger
"Yes I'll marry you" I say and he picks me up and spins me around and everyone that works here started clapping
He took a picture of the ring around my finger and posted it with the caption "Mrs. Newton💍" and tagged me in it __________________________ Odell POV Jarvis and Ben decided to come to my house tonight again
I know I hurt Melanie and I'm debating whether or not I should fix it
"Man, Odell look at this" Ben says throwing me his phone
It's a picture of Melanie's hand with a ring around her finger and the caption is Mrs. Newton
I feel like I'm about to break Ben's phone so I drop it on the floor
Jarvis was looking over my shoulder and all he says is "Their engaged"
