Marry Me Not

EIGHTEEN

"Tell me where do you get yourself that engagement ring?" I ask Arta when were alone in her bedroom

"Some shop in France. Why?"

"Your father asked me. All I can say is that it is a secret"

"Oh poor you. I am sorry I have to drag you for this miserable lies"

"What lies?"

"This lies. Us with the marriage, kissing and everything"

"You think that is a lie?"

"Is not it?"

"No. Not really except for the ring"

"You actually meant it?"

"Yeah and here you think I was joking"

"I think you were just bored with your life and try to find something new here in Russia since you turned down my proposal so many times"

"No, I am not. I am serious about this. Let's get marriage Arta"

"What changes your mind? What is the catch?"

"No catch. Is it wrong if I want to marry you without the proposal?"

"No of course not. But you really meant it?"

"Yes. How many times I have to answer that question?"

"Seriously?"

"No, I was only joking with you"

"See. Asshole. I am going to sleep now. You better get a shower first because I can't stand your odor"

"You better get used to it"

I took my time for a shower and when I am done Arta already falls asleep.

"Arta. Arta wake up.."

"What do you want Jordan?"

"Orlov Cyzarine Arta would you marry me?" I kneel beside the bed

"I must be having a dream right now. This is so not how I imagine someone's propose to me."

"Take it or leave it and go back to sleep"

"Really a romantic person you are even in my dream"

"I am flattered even in your dream you think so highly of me"

"Maybe we can get to know each other better after we get married. Even just in my dream"

"Yes yes. I am sure I can survive" I slide the ring to her finger

"I will take it then"
