A few weeks later
“I don’t seewhat the big deal is. I gave my neighbor my key. He waters my plants,” Naomi says with her hands on her hips. We’re standing inside her apartment and the more sassy she gets the more I want to quit this conversation and take her back to the bedroom.
I hate to do it, but I’m going there. “Okay, well, I guess you’d be all right with me giving my neighbor my key to the house so she can water my plants?”
Her forehead creases, and then she starts to laugh. “You don’t have plants.”
But the joke’s on her. I’ve got some. “When I saw all the ones you have here, I wanted you to feel at home at my place, so I got some.”
She shakes her head. “I’ll water your plants.”
Shaking my head, I finally walk over to her grab her hand, tugging her down onto my lap as I sit down on the couch. She tries to get up, but I hold on to her. “You can’t water my plants. This summer when school’s out, I’m hoping you’re going to travel to my games. You and Jackie can come together.”
“Well, then, my mom or one of her friends can water your plants,” she says as I kiss her neck.
“How about this? You move into my house and we won’t have to worry about who has the key to your apartment.”
She gasps, opens her mouth and closes it again. When she’s finally able to talk again, she murmurs, “I’ll get the key back from him. That’s not a reason to move in together, just because you don’t want a man in my apartment.”
She rolls her eyes at me and I almost want to swat her ass. But I resist.
I lift my hips a little and reach into my pocket and hold the little blue box open between us. “I’m supposed to be on one knee for this, but I think this is perfect right here. Because this is where you belong… with me. I love you, Naomi. I loved you the minute I laid eyes on you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I’m not asking you to move in with me because some man has the key to your apartment. I’m asking you to move in because I want you to be my wife. I love you, baby. Will you marry me?”
With tears falling down her cheeks, she nods her head at me. “I love you too, Neil.”
