One Chance to Win
Page 11
“Hi, Jas,” I said with a sly smile.
“Hi, Alex,” she whispered behind her hands.
“Mind if I ask you a question?” I teased her.
She finally dropped her hands away from her mouth, and I saw one tear escape. “Okay.”
“You know how I love you, right?” I beat around the bush.
She nodded and gulped. “I do.”
“You know how I love having you with me all the time, right?”
She nodded. “I do.”
I liked the way she was answering me and thought I’d love hearing her say those same words in the near future as a priest asked her a few questions.
My heart was pounding, for reasons I was unsure of. I mean, I was pretty sure she'd say yes to my question, but still, there was that nagging doubt that asked me, ‘What if she turns you down, bro?'
But I pushed that doubt to the side and showed her the engagement ring I’d hid from her for a solid week. “So with all that in mind, I’d like to ask you if you’d like to spend the rest of your life with me? As my wife?”
She gasped and nodded as tears streamed down her reddened cheeks and she held out her left hand. I slid the one-karat diamond ring onto her slender finger as the rest of the restaurant’s patrons clapped and cheered for us.
“Yes, Alex! Yes, I’ll marry you,” she cried out as she got up and I did too. We hugged then kissed as the cheering went on.
I’d heard cheers most all of my life as I played soccer. And they had always made me feel excited and happy. But the cheers I was hearing then were incomparable to all those I’d heard before. I was nearly overwhelmed with emotion.
These cheers were for Jasmine and me and the love we’d found for each other and would never let go of.
