24. Gemini Black
Gemini Black
This was day two for us in Mexico. We got in yesterday afternoon. I’ve always been a man that liked to be spontaneous, travel the world, and just enjoy the best out of life, so it didn’t surprise me that I made these last-minute plans with Amina to come to Mexico.
We were able to pack a suitcase with the toiletries we were going to need, pajamas, underwear and things like that, but neither one of us really had the proper attire to be at an expensive, all- inclusive resort for five days.
Like I told Amina last night, that wasn’t a problem for us though.
As soon as we checked into the resort, we put our bags down in the room, toured the resort, ate some food, and I had a driver come pick us up, so that we could do some shopping.
The driver took us out to some shopping spots in Cabo San Lucas.
It was all kinds of shopping boutiques out there for us.
Amina got a bunch of swimsuits, dresses, sandals, accessories, and things like that.
I picked up a few outfits myself, grabbed some swimming trunks, and slides.
We had everything now. After we finished with our shopping, we went back to the resort.
Here it was, the next morning, and I was waiting for Amina to wake up.
You could tell that we weren’t sleeping on the truck anymore in those little ass beds because she was able to sprawl out in the middle of the bed.
She was naked, with the covers resting right at her ass, as she lay on her stomach.
Her scarf wasn’t on her head, so I was sitting here, admiring the pretty curls that were in her head.
I fucked with the braids. Lord knows that I was a sucker for the braids that she had in her hair, but seeing Amina in her natural state like this with the curls, it really did it for me.
Whenever she decided to wake up, she was going to freak out once she saw what was on her finger.
If I remember anything that she told me, she told me that if a man proposes to her the next time around, she didn’t want it to feel like a production.
She told me that when Jacob proposed, it was over one hundred people, and how everyone was standing there with their phones out, recording the entire thing.
She didn’t feel as if it was wrong that it was done that way, but doing that already, she just wanted the next time to be different.
She wanted it to be intimate. Just me and her.
I wanted to prove to her that I listened.
I heard her loudly whenever she spoke to me.
That’s why I got up an hour ago, went in my suitcase where the ring was stored, and after taking it out of the box, I put it on her finger, and it fit perfectly.
While she was sleeping in bed, I had the balcony sliding door pushed all the way back.
With that beautiful ocean view, you could hear the sounds that the waves were out there making.
I did so much research, trying to find the perfect resort, and ultimately, I ended up going with the Grand Velas Los Cabos.
It was nice as hell here. Seeing the smile on Amina’s face yesterday when we entered the resort, plus watching how happy she’d gotten when she saw the room, let me know that I did a good job in my selection.
We were able to explore a lot of things last night.
Soak in a tub last night together for the first time.
Move around freely in a bigger space without it feeling like we were on top of each other.
As I was sitting here, deep in thought, that’s when I felt Amina steer in her sleep. I turned to look at her, and her eyes were slowly opening. Her left hand that had the ring on it was casually resting at her side.
The moment her eyes fully opened, she looked over at me and gave me a small smile. I leaned over, so that I could kiss her on her forehead.
“Good morning, baby. How did you sleep?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer to the question.
“Like a baby,” she replied, picking her hands up.
She went to wipe her eyes, but the second she saw that there was a ring on her finger, she screamed.
She quickly sat up in bed, reached at the foot of the bed, where my wife beater was, and she put it on.
She reacted to that ring exactly how I expected her to.
She knew that ring wasn’t placed there on accident.
Amina had the brains to know that I deliberately put the ring on her finger.
She knew that I was ready for her to be my wife, and that’s why she started crying, lifting her hands up, putting them over her eyes, trying to hide the fact that she was having a breakdown.
“Come here,” I said, reaching for her arms, trying to pull her my way.
I stood up from the bed, carrying her, and sat her down at the foot. I was able to pry her hands from her face. She looked at me with blood shot red eyes, as tears continued to fall from her beautiful face. I stood in front of her, leaning in, so that I could kiss the tears away.
She was sitting before me shaking. Literally trembling because of what was happening. I got as many tears away from her face as I possibly could, and then I dropped down on one knee.
“I didn’t just get to Mexico yesterday and decide that I wanted to ask you to marry me.
I been knew. I been loving you and have been in love with you for a little minute now.
Even though you told me that you wanted a simple proposal the next go around, I still wanted to make it a little romantic, and not do it on the truck.
I know that it was important to you that we didn’t have a gang of people standing around, watching as I asked for your hand in marriage, so I’m doing it this way.
The way you told me. I don’t need years to go by for me to ask you to be my wife.
Two months was more than enough time. I know without a doubt that you are the woman I want to do life with.
You are the woman that I would want my daughters to be like.
The woman that I would want to raise my sons. You’ll marry me, Amina?” I asked her.
“Baby, yes. I’ll marry you. I’ll marry you,” she cried beautiful tears, as she got down on the floor with me, wrapping her arms around my neck, and she placed kisses on my lips.
Her reaction made me shed a tear of my own. I could feel the love that she had me for me. I knew she wasn’t faking this shit with me.
We kissed for a little while longer, and she eventually lifted her hand, so that she could look at the ring.
“I didn’t even get the chance to admire it. I just saw it and started crying. Gemini, it’s perfect. It’s beautiful. How did you know that this is the ring that I would want?” she asked me. Her question made me smile.
“Gianna helped me out. Your mom did too,” I replied, and when I said that, she cocked her head to the side, looking at me with confused eyes.
“My mom? She knows?” she asked.
“Yeah. I had to call her to get her blessing on it. Your dad isn’t here, so I went through your mom. We had a good conversation. She gave me her blessing, telling me that I could propose to you. We good,” I let her know, and she smiled.
“Oh my God. I can’t believe this. We’re going to get married, Gemini!
I’m so in love with you, and I’m going to marry you.
I promise I’ll marry you anywhere. I’m not just talking, either.
I know that I like nice things but look where chasing behind those nice things got me.
Jacob and I were having this big, grand wanting, and I got my ass left.
I felt like we were chasing behind what would look good on social media, and all the other things that just weren’t important.
I don’t want that the next time around. I want my next wedding to be nothing but simplicity.
All I need is you, Gemini, and I’ll marry you anywhere.
I’m so in love, that I’ll marry you today,” she was rambling, as she removed her arms from my neck, and stood up.
I was paying attention to everything that she was saying though. So much so, that I stayed on my knee, and pulled her ass to me, making her stand in front of me.
I placed my hands on her hips, looking up at her, holding her in place.
“Do it then. You talking all that shit. Let me see if you can back it up. Prove it to me,” I was on her ass, and she laughed.
“What you need me to prove?” she wanted to know.
“You said that you’ll marry me anywhere, right? You said that you’ll marry me today. Do it then. Let’s get married today,” there wasn’t a hint of me just playing around written on my face.
I was dead ass serious. If she was serious too, she could go from girlfriend to fiancé, to wife in one day.
“I’ll do it. I need a dress though. You need a tux too,” she said, reaching her hand out, and pulling on my beard.
“That’s a small problem for a problem solver like me,” I voiced, standing up. I picked her up and tossed her on the bed.
“What about the wedding itself? Who’s going to officiate the wedding? You have the answers to that, problem solver?” she asked me.
“Get fucked right quick, and while you sleep it off, I’ll hop in problem solver mode. I bet I get it done,” was all I said, reaching down to pull the top off that she was wearing.
We had to celebrate this engagement right quick, and what better way than to make love? With the morning wood that I was working with, I knew it would put Amina down on her ass and have her sleeping for a few more hours.
While she slept, I planned to handle business on the back end.
I wasn’t stressed about it because we were in Mexico.
This resort that we were staying at was known for hosting destination weddings all the time.
I’m sure they had all kinds of planners, photographers, and officiants that they could hit up.
I wasn’t worried about it. I was used to getting my way, so today shouldn’t be any different.
