I’m Still Wifey Material

(Kira Speaks)

Today made three months since Fatu and I had been dating. Things were really looking good for us, and I was enjoying every last bit of our romance. Today he picked me up from my house and whisked me off for a full day of shopping and pampering at the Pelican Spa. We had a ton of fun, especially when he took me back to the Aquarium restaurant, which was where we had our very first date. I had the Thai marinated fish with crab legs and a house salad, while Fatu had the blackened tuna and a few items from their tapas menu. The evening was beautiful and the ambiance was on point. What really set off the night was when Fatu reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a black jewelry box. My face lit up.

“Oh, my God! What is this?” I asked.

He opened the box and turned it around toward me. “Will you marry me?” he asked, revealing a gigantic emerald cut, canary-colored diamond inside a platinum setting.

That diamond had to be at least eight or nine carats, if not more. I tried desperately not to jump out of my chair from excitement. Instead I politely smiled and said, “Yes.”

Fatu slid the ring onto my finger and then he kissed my hand. “You know what this means, right?”

Confused by the question, I said, dNo, I don’t.”

He held my hand with a firm grip and said, “This means that you and I are engaged now. You are officially my fiancée.”

I smiled at the sound of that, because it sounded really good. But then I started thinking about how we had only known each other for three months, so we might have been taking things a little too fast.

“Honey, do you think we’re taking this thing a little too fast?” I asked Fatu.

“No, I don’t. I’m in love with you, and I don’t think we should put a time limit on that.”

“I feel the same way, but I don’t want to mess up what we have by rushing into something we might regret later.”

“Don’t speak like that. I am a firm believer that the way you go into a relationship is the way it is going to end. Haven’t things been going really good for us? Aren’t you happy when you’re with me?”

“Yes, everything is going really well for us, and of course I’m happy when I’m with you. But I just want us to take this thing one day at a time so we won’t run into any misunderstandings.”

“Baby, I understand all of that, but we’re not going to have any problems. My love for you is solid. And I don’t want to wait a long time for you to be Mrs. Fatu Oduka.”

The words coming from his mouth were magical and breathtaking. I was literally about to melt. What man do you know who pours out his heart like that and sounds like he means it? Fatu had convinced me that we
