She walked in like a bride ready for the warm embrace of the groom. After like five steps, she turned back just to watch me lock the door. As I struggled with the door lock, my mind was occupied by thoughts.

Could it be that she needs a welcome action? possibly a gentle kiss or a prolonged hug? moreover, we kissed for the first time at the shop, it won't be bad if I steal another kiss.

I was still thinking about whether to make a move or be a gentleman before I saw stretched arms. It was now that the greenlight became thicker and my wandering mind became relaxed. I went into the stretched arm and we hugged each other for a few minutes. I was content with the hug, thus I tried leading her to the dining but she pulled me back, and kissed me. I had to give myself a warm slap just to make sure that I am not dreaming because she is making the moves I should make as a man, especially after I failed to recognize her for years.

Hey, why do you do that,

she asked.

Just to make sure that this isn't a dream because I wouldn't want to wake up from it.

She laughed gently before turning towards the dining.

Don't just sit there and stare at me. The beauty of a good meal lies in sharing with another.

Jennifer chipped in.

Seeing you eat has already filled my stomach. All I want is to watch you eat and be happy because having you here means a whole lot to me.

I replied.

She smiled before taking a spoonful of the fried rice to my mouth. I couldn't resist such a romantic move. Eating from her spoon made the food taste special. The romantic adventure kicked off. We fed each other until we got filled.
Well, there isn't any good meal if there isn't any drink to wrap things up. I brought out the wine I bought and poured it into two glasses.

Am curious, why did you give me the privilege of walking into your life without much effort? I have been with you all these while those daughters of Jezebels toiled with my heart, you didn't complain nor show any sign of jealousy. Why are you this kind to me?

I believe true love comes naturally. Forcing it takes away many elements from it. I have been in love with you for a long time but since the feeling wasn't mutual, I have to nurture it in my heart hoping that someday its branches will pierce your heart and bud to it. I also believe that what is mine will be mine.

She replied wearing a face of satisfaction.

We continued feeding each other from our glasses. When we were done with the first bottle, I got the energy to ask the four words question.

Jenny, if I could turn back the hands of the clock, I will choose you to be the one and only person to entrust my heart to. I feel heartbroken to know you have always loved me while watching me move from one lady to another. I promise you today that together we will walk through thick and thin, I want to wake up each day seeing you by my side. Would you do me the honor of spending the rest of your life with me? Will you marry me?

I asked why I was bringing out the ring I had bought earlier.
She smiled and nodded her head. What I felt at that moment couldn't be explained by words. While placing the ring on her finger, tears fell from my eyes. This was the first time I shed tears of joy in five years. At this moment, she bent down to kiss the wet cheeks, then moved to the forehead, and then we ended up in the bed. I had always believed in no sex before marriage but I don't regret what happened that day because it was with the right person. Again, it would have been more painful if the vow was broken with any of my Ex.
