Phoenix and i had been so much closer than before. It was so perfect for me that I, lily and Alicia would go on a triple date. I and phoenix went to the cinema, it was so fun and a thrilling experience for me that I was back with phoenix. For some minutes i noticed that Phoenix wasn't watching the movie.
"What are you doing" I asked him
"Am admiring my wife"
cough cough "did he just say wife" she thought aloud
"or won't you want to be my bride?"
"Of course I will but?..."
"But what?....."
"But its too early to be talking of that besides who know you might find someone else" the last words pierced her heart as she said it.
"Would you love someone else other than me?"
"...No I love you and you only"
"I love you very much too so I would want to make you my wife"
".....you have turned to be so shameless haven't you" she thought to herself
"Let's just concentrate on the movie for now Phoenix"
"I don't want to"
"Why? isn't it interesting?"
"I prefer admiring you beauty"
cough cough "oh Lord"
"Are you alright?"
"Yea am fine"
"You look so ever beauty right now Betty, I love everything about you even your perfect flaws mostly your smile. I wish I could forever be the reason why you can be happy and I'll never let you cry again"
"I love you Phoenix and nothing can stop that"
"your the love of my life forever" as he kissed her so softly
Betty felt so happy as she headed to school the next morning. It was her birthday, usually it would be just her, Lily and Alicia but now Phoenix was part of her life...
"Hey Betty!"phoenix hugged her
"oh Phoenix good morning"
"Good morning...I just want to tell you that I'll be travelling out today with my mum. Am sorry I didn't let you know earlier"
"Oh.....is there any problem"
"Nope....oh Yh I forgot am so sorry"
she smiled. He hugged her again and kissed her.
"Ill be back by the end of the week. I love you I have to go now ok?" and he rushed out
*But its my birth...." but he was out of hearing
she headed to class feeling downcast
"hi Betty"
"oh lily"
"Is everything alright?"
"....yea am fine"
"okay" she went back to her seat. Through out that day she didn't receive any "Happy birthday" form her friends
"It seemed like they forgot" she thought
lily and Alicia came to talk to her as usual and went back afterwards as if nothing happened.
Betty was totally frustrated, angry and all kinds of emotions she felt. After school she ran home,
She got to her room and turned on the lights, she heard music coming from outside she rushed towards her window and saw her friends and a group of classmates.
"Mum and dad too??"
she became so emotional and felt the like hugging them all
"ouch" she hit someone who had been at her back
"Are you Ok?" she heard a male voice
"Phoenix??!" she jumped on him
"Happy birthday my future wife" as he let her down.
"I thought. ..." he kissed her stopping her from saying what she wanted to say
"Get dressed" he told her as their lips pulled apart
"...." he showed her a lovely red gown made of lace with black heels. She was speechless. After she got dressed he knelt on one knee as he helped her put on her heels.
"Close your eyes" he told her after she was ready
"...."
"Trust me". she felt something being worn on her neck.
" open your eyes"
"OMG its beautiful... and there's something inscribed on it?"
He remained quiet.
"I am yours forever" it read
she looked with her eyes full of emotions
" I am yours till the end" she kissed him
