Chapter 9
In the morning, while Angel was still asleep, Spot opened one of the drawers of his dresser. He pulled out a small ring from a box. He took in a breath and put the ring in his pocket. He walked over to the bed and sat down. He kissed Angel very lightly and watched her wake up.
"A great start to a great day!" she said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's gonna be great!"
"What do you mean?"
"Angel, I was thinkin' bout' dis last night and decided it was a good idea ta ask."
With that, he placed the ring on her finger. A perfect fit!
"Angel, I love ya so much, will ya marry me?"
Angel's eyes got so big that they could explode. They were also filling up with tears which she gladly let fall down her cheeks. Soon a smile spread across her face.
"Yes!" "Yes, I will!"
"Ya will?!"
"YES!"
He pulled her into a long hug, and kissed her when they broke. Angel looked at the ring on her finger. It was full of diamonds and had a ruby in the middle of it. It was beautiful!
"Dat ring was me mudda's." "She said before she died ta put it on the finger of da goil I loved.... And yer da one."
"I'll be honored to wear it."
"Oh Spot, I can't wait for you to meet my family!" "My brother will love you!"
