As soon as I get into Kellen’s BMW SUV, he tells me to close my eyes and to keep them closed until he tells me to open them. When we make it to our destination, he helps me out of the SUV and guides me in the intended direction. We walk up several steps then I hear keys jingling. A door opens and we walk in. As soon as the door closes, Kellen grabs me by my hips.
“Open your eyes, Tamia.”
I open my eyes and see that we’re inside a house.
“Before you ask any questions, I want us to look around.”
“Okay.”
He grabs my hand and begins showing me around. We start upstairs and work our way down. The house is furnished with a spacious four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge kitchen, and a nice backyard.
“What do you think?” he asks, walking us into the living room.
“It’s beautiful, Kellen. Does this house belong to a client?” I ask, looking around the living room.
“No.”
I look at Kellen, who looks nervous.
“Are you okay?”
He doesn’t respond, just looks at me.
“Kellen, you’re scaring me.”
“I’m not trying to.” He reaches out to me, bringing me closer to him. Gently touching my face, Kellen continues to look into my eyes. “Tamia. Baby, I love you so very much.”
“I love you, too.” I search his face for some clarity. “Baby, talk to me. You look nervous.”
“I am,” he admits, taking a deep breath. “Tamia, during the week I was gone for business, I was also finalizing the details of our house.”
“Our house? This is our house?” I ask.
“It will be once you say yes.”
“Yes to what, Kellen?”
“To becoming my wife,” he says, getting on one knee. “I can’t imagine my life without you, Tamia. You’ve been nothing but wonderful. When we found out that Ashley was pregnant with my son, you could have left me then, but you didn’t and stayed by my side. I know you love Chandler as if he was your own, and I love you even more for that.”
I stand there, speechless, with tears in my eyes.
“Baby.” Kellen runs his hands up my bare legs, reaching the hem of my dress that he lifts up until my stomach is exposed. He leans forward and places several kisses on my stomach. “I’m looking forward to the day you tell me that you’re pregnant with our first child. You’re going to be a great mom, and I’m sure Chandler can vouch for that.”
I wipe my eyes and wait for Kellen to continue.
“Tamia, our relationship has had its ups and downs, and we didn’t let them get in our way because we love each other.” Reaching into his pants pocket, he pulls out a ring box. “Baby, I want you to grant my wish and become my wife. Will you marry me?” He opens the box, revealing a beautiful, princess-cut, white diamond ring.
“Y-yes!” I reply with tears streaming down my cheeks.
Kellen grabs my left hand and slides the ring on my finger. He stands and captures my lips in a kiss. “I want to celebrate,” he says, sucking on my lips.
“What do you have in mind?” I ask, breathless.
“Well, soon-to-be Mrs. Winston, I haven’t tasted or made love to you in about a week. Do you think you can help me with that?” he asks removing his shirt.
Licking my lips, I look at my soon-to-be husband. “I think I know exactly what you need to help with your problem.”
