The emails kept coming from Victor. They always said the same thing, meet me in my old building. She was afraid to say yes.
She and Johnny went on a date a few days after she told them about her heritage. Johnny was nervous about something, but she had no idea what. They were eating their meal when she looked up and could've sworn she saw Victor walk in. He looked right at her and she looked down at her plate. When she looked up again, she couldn't see him.
She needed to get a grip. This wasn't good for her to keep seeing him everywhere. She looked at Johnny to say she had to go to the lady's room, but he chose this moment to prove his commitment. He walked over to her and bent down on one knee. "Please, Jessica. I should have done this back in college but you know me, too stupid to think. But I'm asking you now, please be my wife. I love you more than anything. Please."
He pulled out a box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful ring. It had a diamond in the middle and was surrounded by smaller diamonds. "Oh my gosh. Johnny, the ring is gorgeous. Yes, I'll marry you."
When they got home, they told everyone the news. She went into her room, exhausted. Her laptop had a message saying she had three more emails. Two were the usual from Doom, come meet me, blah blah. But the third, which was also from Victor, was different. It said, "I saw the boy propose to you tonight. I was in the same restaurant. It was a beautiful speech. Now that you're engaged, I think I should give you a proper congratulations in person. Please come meet me my sister. All I want is one little meeting."
"Fine, one." She replied. "But only once. Never again after." She set it for a week later.
She hoped none of the others heard about this. She had a feeling Victor didn't want them to know that he was back in town. After the meeting, she would tell them and they could go kick his butt again. Simple as that.
