Ebony knocked on the bedroom door.
"John can I talk to you?" Ebony said. She twisted the door handle and went in. John was on the bed sleeping. She slowly crept to the jewelry box on her vanity. She opened the jewelry box and pulled out a small box similar to the one John had given her the night before. Ebony looked back at John then back at the box she had just pulled out. She opened it to reveal yet another but smaller diamond ring. And with opening it everything came flooding back...
Ebony crept her head around the wall and was enraged at what she was seeing. She fixed her black 7 seconds shirt and adjusted her black cuffs on her wrists.
" Hello John" and with that she slapped John. " And you! You have some Freakin' nerve" and sent Maria flying backwards.
"Ebony its not what you think" John said attempting to restrain her.
" Oh ok so then what am I thinking? Huh you said u were going to study for history! NOT ANATOMY!" She said pounding her fists into his chest and he held her.
"Ebony calm down!" he said.
"I'll see you later John" Maria said with a wink. Ebony flew forward only to be pulled back by John's arms.
" Get the Hell out of here!" Ebony screamed. When Maria was gone John let her go.
" Ebony she ki-"John started when Ebony put her hand up.
"Stop, we can't keep doing this. John I love you and If you don't love me why did you ask me to marry you?" she said extending her left hand where he could see the ring. " So make your choice" She said her tan face looked up at him. He looked at the familiar black lined green eyes, the glossed pink lips, and the straight dark red hair that cascaded over her shoulders. She searched his eyes for and answer. She knew what his answer was going to be ' I don't know'. She kissed his cheek holding back tears and walked away. He didn't even try to stop her.
She came back to reality and walked to the bed.
"John?" she said tapping his shoulder. He stirred and clasped his eyes.
"Huh, what time is it?"
"It's seven in the morning" Ebony said opening the curtains.
"Jeez" John said clamping his hands over his eyes. " You could have warned me" he said looking at Ebony with a warm smile. She looked back at him with uncertainty. He could see she was hurt. He sat up in bed and placed his feet on the floor. He held out his arms and she slowly walked over. Ebony placed her hands in his.
"Ebony it's not what -"John started.
"what I think" she said. " do you remember this" she said handing him the ring that brought back memories she thought she had forgotten.
" Where did you get this?" John asked.
" Um you gave it to me remember?"
"Yeah but I didn't think you would have kept it"
"I've kept everything you gave me. John I need to know now. Are you and Maria seeing each other?"
" Ebony, no... She thinks what happened in the past is still there. When I had to do that kiss with her it meant nothing. Ebony I wouldn't have bought you two diamond rings If I didn't love you." He looked up at her and she looked back down at him. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his head on her stomach. Just then the phone rang and Ebony went to pick it up.
" Hello?" she spoke.
