"Otto, you do realize that this is a big decision. I want you to think about it before you just go and do it. It's a lot of responsibility," Ray lectured to his son.
"Dad, I'm nineteen, I am responsible. And I have thought about it. I love her Dad, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Don't you remember that feeling you got when you met Mom?" Otto said.
"Yes, I do. But this is a big decision," he repeated, "I'm just trying to see what's best for you."
Otto sighed, getting fed up with his Dad. "Dad, I know. I know this the right thing. I really love her, and she loves me. Please, Dad."
Ray let out a breath of exhaustion, and gave in. "Okay. But you need to have a talk with her parents first, before you ask her. Does she agree with you on this?"
"I guess I'll have to find out when I ask her," Otto smiled.
If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
Otto rang the doorbell at the Morgan's. He heard footsteps coming from inside the house. Sunny's dad opened the door. "Sunny's gone to Isis' house, son. She isn't here, but she'll be back in about an hour if you'd like to come back later."
Otto shook his head. "No, that's okay. I wanted to talk to you and Misses Morgan about something anyway. It's about Sunny."
Mr. Morgan gave him a funny look, but nodded and let him in anyway.
Otto sat down on their couch and clamped his hands together and nervously wavered his knees from side to side. Mrs. Morgan came in and gave him salutations.
"Hello, Otto! Ben said you had come to talk to us about something." She sat down in a chair beside her husband, Ben, who was sitting in the recliner.
"Yes, I'd like to get to that. You do realize that Sunny and I have been going out steadily for almost two years now. We love each other very much, and we have been talking about marriage. I mean, we haven't seriously sat down and discussed the idea, but we're pretty happy about the thought of it. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, and she with me. I'd like to ask if I may marry your daughter."
Ben and Samantha were not surprised. "Oh, I've been waiting for this to happen. I knew it would come around sometime! Oh, what do you think, Benny? Isn't this wonderful?" said Samantha, Sunny's mother.
Ben sat for a moment. "Would you promise to love my daughter and never hurt her in anyway? This is a big decision, Otto."
"Yes, yes I would. I love her more than anything," Otto replied quickly.
