“Smoke.” Keisha laughed.
“I resent that. It only happened once, by the way.” Conner’s face was serious, but the laughter in his voice was undeniable. He stood with his arms crossed over his massive chest.
“No smoke and wow, you actually cooked for me.” Her beaming smile and sparkling eyes were so sweet that he couldn’t resist kissing her again.
Conner led her to the table that was beautifully set and pulled out her chair.
“Madame.” Conner pushed in her chair once she was seated, and then he went back to the kitchen to take the plates from the warmer.
“Wow, this looks delicious, Conner.”
They ate and talked as usual, but Conner was nervous. Besides the strawberries, champagne, and whipped cream that he had set up in the living room, Conner had something extra special planned for dessert.
The time had come for him to serve dessert.Here goes nothing.
“Oh, Conner! It’s gorgeous in here!” Keisha exclaimed happily as she looked around the romantically decorated room.
Keisha made her way over to the blanket that was laid out in the middle of the room by the fireplace, but before she could sit down, Conner was down on one knee. He knew that she would think it was too soon, but it was never too soon for love.
Keisha gasped. “It’s only been a few weeks, Conner!”
“It’s not what you think. Just hear me out.” Conner tried to soothe her concerns. He pulled out a heart-shaped box, and when he opened it, the confusion on her face was adorable.
“This is a key to my house. You said you weren’t ready to move in, yet,” he smirked, “but I wanted you to know you’re welcome here at all times. I want you here, and I don’t want my woman waiting on the porch for me to open the door. I have a garage door opener too, but it wouldn’t fit in the box.” Conner smiled, and Keisha laughed.
“Thank you, Conner. I love it!”
“And I love you,” Conner said seriously.
“And I love you too,” Keisha responded with tears in her eyes.
They never had dessert.
They made love right there on the living room floor, all night long.
