HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

I’ve compiled all the parts into one document. You can download it at the bottom of the post. That’s my Val’s day gift to you guys. Love you all dearly.

Hey guys, please check out my podcast. It’s available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, Breaker, Radio Public, Anchor, Spotify and PocketCasts. The name is Baawa Unfiltered. Please listen and review as well. Thanks.

“Laura, I asked you out today to apologise for my what I did to you. I know you’ve probably heard from your mother but I need you to hear it from me”

“No, Jeff, you don’t have to. It was years ago and I made peace with it.”

“I know but I haven’t because you didn’t deserve that, Laura. You were so good to me and I treated you so poorly. I did the most cliché thing ever.”

She laughed, “Very cliché but if it’s going to make you feel better then apologise. I’m all ears”

“I’m so sorry, Laura. You were the best partner for me and I hurt you because I was stupid. I learnt myself be carried away by all the female attention I was getting when I should have kept my eyes on you, my blessing. I messed up so badly and lost a diamond and a pearl such as yourself. I want to spend the rest of my life proving to you that I am not the same immature man from many years ago that is if you would have me again.”

“Wow, thank you so much. But I have daughter, Jeff.”

“She’ll be ours. We’re already developing a bond and as time goes on it will be stronger.”

“I can see that. I have been fooled by words before and so please understand if I’m being so hesitant”

“I understand. You have every right to do this but just know that I plan to make my actions match my words. Believe in me one last time, Laura and give me one last shot to get my family back. Because you guys are my family.”

“Wow, I didn’t know you felt that way. Alright, let’s try again” she said amongst some sniffles.

“Thank you, baby. Don’t cry. I promise this time will be better.”

“I can tell. You even sound different.”

They enjoyed their meal which was great. Jeff even left a huge tip for their waiter.

Several months passed and everything between them was just peachy. They were having the best time of their lives. They hung out a lot as a family.

On this particular outing, Karen insisted that the couple go by themselves and leave Avery in her very capable hands. She said she missed hanging out with her and they obliged. They went mini golfing. The date was going great until, Avery’s dad showed up and caused a great scene that got them thrown out of the establishment.

“I’m sorry, baby” he apologised when they got into the car.

“No, that wasn’t your fault. It was his fault. You were just defending me like any normal man would do when his partner is being disrespected. Something he knows nothing about.”

“But still, our date got ruined. You told me that he was a jerk but I clearly underestimated how big of a jerk he really is”

“Let’s not stress out about him. We can go home if you want or we can go bowling. What do you say?”

“I say, let me do one better. I know the perfect place”

He drove them to this huge traditional mansion on the outskirts of the city. It took them two hours to get there.

“Whose house is this? This place is really nice.” she asked as she got out of the car.

“It’s ours.”

“Ours?” she turned to fined him on one knee with an open ring box

“Oh my gosh! This is not happening!”

“This is happening, babe.” He smirked

“Laura Marie Anderson, I’ve loved you my entire life. My life has been so empty ever since we went our separate ways many years ago. I bless the day I bumped into you at the shopping centre because that day led us here. The journey to becoming us has not been easy but everything has been worth it because I have gained a family out of it all. Would you please do me the honour of being my wife and partner throughout the changing scenes of life? I want to be husband to you, a father to Avery and the best son-in-law to your mother.”

“Yes!!’ he quickly put the ring on her and they embraced.

“What do you mean best son-in-law? I’m an only child.”

“Laura, that’s not the point.” He laughed.

They toured the house for a little bit and they drove off to go and tell the rest of their family the good news.

THE END
