The Proposal
~Amira POV~
I stare at Tupac's poster face I had posted on my wall and I trace his features that I missed so much with my pointer finger. I kept finding myself tracing his eyes. I haven't seen him for 35 hours and I was already slowly dying inside.
"I. Need. A. Life." I mumble to myself hitting my head lightly on the poster.
I decide to distract myself with a nice book to read. I walk over to my small brown wooden bookshelf. I trail through my different biographies, science books, math books, until I stop at "Little Women." I pause and I stare at the book. It was the copy I had from 7th grade. That’s when Lesane had fallen on me.
I pick the book up and I see something drop. I pick it up and see something I thought I would never see again, my ring. The one Lesane gave me.
I picked it up and stared at it. What was it doing there? I never put it there. It was odd. I put it on my finger and kissed it.
My pager beeps in my pocket and I stare at the number. I've never saw that number before. I pick my phone up and call it.
"Hello?" I ask when they pick up.
"Hey." I hear someone say into the phone.
"Who is this?" I ask.
"Lesane."
"Oh my gosh, so sorry. I’m not used to your new manly voice, I just remember your squeaky puberty one." I laugh.
He was silent for a minute.
"You okay?" I ask.
"Yeah, it’s just so nice to hear your voice again." He says.
I hear my doorbell ring.
"Hold on a second, my door bell is ringing." I say.
"Okay."
I drop the phone on my bed and I walk down my steps and I stop in front of the door.
I tug on the necklace on my neck Tupac gave me as I slowly looked through the peek hole. I see Lesane. I take a step back surprised.
I grab a quick mirror lying on my couch and I look to see if I looked okay. I brushed my hair with my fingers a little and fixed a smudge in my mascara. I ran back to the door and I opened it.
I look at him. His short hair was newly cut and he was wearing a black suit. What was he doing here? And this scene looked familiar.
He raised his eyebrows up and down and I laughed.
"What do you want?" I ask smiling.
"To marry you." He said.
"What did you say?" I ask misunderstanding him.
"I’m here to ask your hand in marriage." He said getting down on one knee.
I feel my adrenaline take a rush as my thoughts raced through my mind. This was all too sudden. What was he doing? Is he trying to kill me? I stare at his pleading eyes. I come to a conclusion. This was a dream.
"I-I." I choke out.
"Why is the world spinning?"
I feel myself trip, or just fall and Lesane caught me.
"Amira! Are you okay?!" Lesane asks sincerely.
I nod standing up. I balance myself on my front step and I look at a blurry image of Lesane.
He touched my chin and turned me to face the real him.
"Sorry, I’m a little nervous." I laugh weakly realizing this was no dream.
"It’s okay, I know it’s so sudden." He said.
"Ever since I met you, I planned on marrying you."
"That’s so sweet Lesane." I say.
I didn't know what to say, I still loved Lesane, but I loved Tupac more.
And I wanted to give you something." He said.
"What is it?" I ask.
he touched the back of my neck and before I could say something his lips were on mine. My eyes widened.
I pushed him off.
"L-Lesane you know I’m already with someone." I say.
"I know, but I was thinking you would leave him for me." He said staring at his shoes.
It was silent for a while.
"I'll think about it."
I really did need some time to think about it, I had spend all those years missing and wanting Lesane, and the minute I find him, Tupac is already in my life. This wasn't what I meant.
I smile and give him a small kiss on the cheek. I close the door.
I fall on the ground and I hang my head low. Since when was my love life so crazy? I really need to check my love horoscope more.
