“I was just asking” I said holding my hands up in my own defense, my hand going to the door handle.
“Well don’t.” he said hardly, I could see him struggling to hold his composure and I laughed. He grabbed my arm pulling me back.
“Did I say you could get out?” he asked me, I grinned at him. I didn’t know what was up with him tonight but him getting all authoritive and giving me attitude was cute.
“You’re so cute” I told him, I could see the hard façade he tried to put on break and he grinned at me pulling me into a soft kiss.
“Not as cute as you” he responded giving me another kiss.
“I have something for you” he told me his face getting serious.
“So there is an occasion” I prompted, he rolled his eyes.
“The occasion is that I love you, and I’ve always promised you that I would never treat you the way he did.” He told me, I nodded not following, he reached into his jacket and pulled out a small red box, I bit down on my lip. He held it out for me to take. I stared at him judging him.
“What is this?” I asked him.
“Open it and find out” he responded.
“Jay” I said warningly taking it, I took in a deep breath and opened the box. It was a ring like I had expected. Not a large wedding ring with a giant rock. Just a small simple ring, with a braided band full of tiny diamonds and a small diamond in the middle. It was small and simple and so beautiful, I looked up
at him.
“What is this?” I repeated not able to get my voice above a whisper because of the knot that had formed in
my throat for the want to cry.
“It’s a promise ring. It’s my promise to you that I will always appreciate you, and love you, and spoil you and treat you like a queen because that’s what you deserve because you’re so beautiful and amazing. And I can’t believe that I have something like you in my life to cherish.” He said, clearing his throat I could hear it getting thick with emotion, I was crying, I nodded and he wiped my tears away and then took the box, he took the ring out and slid it on my finger. It was beautiful, it was so beautiful. What did I ever do to deserve him?
“Thank you” I said quietly after I finally controlled my tears, we were about to go out, I didn’t need red puffy eyes to match my cute dress. He got out and came around and took me out of the truck, I pulled

him into a long hug and he kissed the top of my head.
He pulled me inside, the waitress looked at him with a big smile and then her eyes flicked coolly to me when he pulled me in front of him and kissed my neck softly.
“This way” she said icily. I took his hand and followed her to a table towards the back that was set for two. He pulled my chair out for me and she came back with wine.
“Aren’t you a romantic” I said eyeing him over the menu. My skin felt a little hot and I started to notice him, notice how his muscles rolled with every movement. How big and broad shouldered the tux made him. I noticed how he licked his perfect lips, and how hard his jawline looked because he hadn’t shaved in a few days and he looked older and sexy as hell.
I wanted him. I didn’t know what changed, I didn’t know why it was so sudden. Maybe I was about to go into heat, maybe it was because of the commitment he had made, maybe it was just because he looked like a god tonight in his tux, but I didn’t care.
I took a sip of wine, adverting my eyes from him before I jumped him over the table. The suggestion to go home was on the tip of my tongue. If Dez could cheat, and have sex with multiple women every night, why couldn’t I have sex with Jay?
He was my boyfriend, we had been together a while now, we lived together, he obviously loved me. He was obviously more committed to me and showed me that more than Dez ever had. Jay showed me he loved, he had proved it to me numerous times. He had taken me out, we had done just about everything together, why not that? I was comfortable with him, I loved him.
I had never told him, but I did. I knew that I had for a while now… I had never told him or replied when he told me and he was okay with that. I breathed in deeply, even his scent was drawing me in. He smelled so musky, like the woods in fall with a hint of spice with an underlying sweeter scent like honey.
“Kendal” he said hardly, I looked up at him.
“Are you okay?” he asked me, “I’ve been saying your name”
“Sorry” I said sheepishly, “What?” I asked leaning forward a little focusing my full attention on him, connecting our eyes not allowing myself to look anywhere else.
