âYa saved it for something a special I like you suit newâ
âNo but I hate it monkey suit ready to goâ
âYes just need to put on my heelsâ I say putting on a matching pair of red stilettos, and walking out the door. âI guess weâre not tacking the motorcycleâ
âNo I wouldnât want to wrinkle you pretty dressâ he says as he kisses my nose.

The door man comes to open the car door for me with an umbrella as the rain pours down on us. âGood morning miss dreadful weather weâre havingâ
âNot really good for a change of pace thank youâ
âYou readyâ Allen says as he hand the keys to valet and offers my arm.
âYes I say as we walk through the front to the restaurant to the right I see the most beautiful painting on the ceiling. âThis is lovely thank you Allenâ
âYouâre welcome loveâ
âYes â reservation for Hisokaâ he says as the host show us to our seats.
Allen pulls out my chair for me as I sit down. âNow that I think about it I havenât heard your last name before today.â
âWhat will you be having today missâ the waiter ask as I hand him the menu. âThe French breakfast pleaseâ âAnd you sirâ âthe Japanese breakfastâ âand to drinkâ âcoffee decafâ âsirâ âsame thank youâ âwill that be allâ âyes thank youâ Allen says and the waiter walks away.
âMiso soup and coffee reallyâ I ask
âYes I like it or not really I just like the smell old timesâ
âOh right you lived there as a kidâ
âYes but the rice omelet will be goodâ
âSo you do eatâ
âYes I do but itâs different for meâ
âSo how does it all work the whole live longer thing?â
âIt has to do with marriage and all that stuff so I doesnât freak you outâ
âNo but its new it takes some time to get used to it makes you I donât know it makes you hotter I guessâ
âOk so itâs ok if I burn you I guessâ he says with a smile
âDonât go there Allenâ
âNot cuteâ
âNo not cuteâ I say as are food comesâ
We eat in silence until about 10 minutes in to breakfast then he asks me what Iâm thinking.
âI was just thinking that when you a girl like myself and others when you young your fathers the one you turn to then you get a little older and he gets other things to do and then you turn to your brother or your mother and I turned to my brother because my mother was working and still is but then you both grow up and you either fend for yourself or you find and I finally found you I think I might just be able to put down that wall that I put up so long ago and see the world with you.â
âI feel almost the same way I finally found what I was looking for, for so longâ
âI want to see the world Allen I want to see the world with youâ
âEbony why not after graduation this summer you and me we could go to Europe and Japan and see the world just you and meâ
âReally you would do all that for me Allen?â
âYes ebony how about we find a little place in Paris just you and me we could live there for a year or twoâ
âAnd do what Allenâ
âAnd see the country and have fun and we could wellâ
âYes Allen out with itâ
âIâve never done this god help meâ Allen says to himself. â I was going to wait till Christmas butâ
âAllen what do you want Iâm getting nervousâ Allen stands up and gets down on one knee. âAllen what are youâ
âEbony lovely will you- will you marry meâ
âYes Allen yes I willâ I say as I jump up to hug him. âYes I love youâ
âI was going to wait a few weeks so the rings at home the moment was just so perfect I couldnât waitâ
âThatâs ok Allen its okâ
âI love you Ebony how does the rest of your life soundâ
âHow about the nest two hundred years soundâ
âWe need to be married first love and we need to tell you brother and mom first because I did this backwardsâ
âAllen lets tell them now thenâ
âOkay call your mother first she canât touch me for a different countryâ he says as he hands me his cell.
âHelloâ my mother picks up her phone âhello momâ
âHello ebony Iâm in Greece Iâm in a meeting what do you needâ
âMom mother Iâm getting marriedâ
âYOUâRE WHAT!â she yells âto whomâ
âTo Allen the best man in the worldâ
âHave you told your brother yet?â
âNo but weâre going to right now momâ I say as Allen asks for the check.
âEbony Iâll have to call you back in a little bit honey I have to goâ
âOkay mom love you byeâ
âThank youâ Allen says to the waiter hands him the check.
âYour welcome and congratulationsâ
âThank youâ
Allen pays and offers me his arm as we leave and the door man congratulates us and opens the car door for me once again as we depart.
Ch. 9 Fun before marriage
Allen and I arrive home about an hour later and Nat's still sleeping so so Allen decides to go to the ice rink and watch while I'm hard at work. As I'm right in the middle of my routine my coach yells at me to re-do my triple and I fall flat on my ass every time and once again my back hurts and my ankles are swollen and I'm pissed off to no return, so yell at my coach which only happens when I havenât been doing well and thatâs been like 3 years now so I get off the ice as fast as I can and run to the locker room crying.
âebony honey, ebony love pleas let me inâ Allen yells through the door.
âhold on Allenâ I say through my tears
âwhats wrong baby what hurtsâ he say rubbing my back

âokay love its okayâ he says as I lean my head on his shoulder. My coach comes walking in and just stands there for a minute. âokay ebony weâre taking the next few days off then because you need a break okayâ âI'm not talking to you right nowâ I reply âokay Ebony whatever.
