It's Finally Happening

A few months before her birthday he purchased a ring but he began to have second thoughts. They had a vacation planned for her birthday to New Orleans, but as the date came closer they decided to stay in Florida because of the rainy weather. A few days before her birthday (July 2), Heron, his close friend and step father searched for the perfect ring to give to Nikecia. As the day approached, Heron showed a lot of excitement for their dinner but never mentioned anything out of the ordinary. Nikecia who was home preparing for her birthday dinner, but had a slight inclination that he MAY propose tonight. When they reached the restaurant in Miami, the table was not ready. This alarmed Nikecia as she had made the reservation a week in advance and was always on time. Heron who was always on edge when things weren't ready seemed very calm, cool yet sweating. Nikecia asked "Hunny, what is taking them so long?", he wiped his forehead and said "It must be Miami". As they waited, with the other patrons, the manager brought out two champagne glasses with an appetizer "on the house". Another event that should have alerted Nikecia, but it was her birthday and believed this was just how they treated birthday customers. Finally the table was ready, Nikecia and Heron walked to the table and sat across from one another. After dinner, both managers and the waiter consistently checked on us and showered Nikecia with compliments. She ordered the rum cake, which took forever to come out. The manager brought out two cakes and placed a candle on Nikecia's, little did she know that her world would change. The ring was placed in the ice cream scoop and Kareem asked "Baby, will you spend the rest of your life with me?". Nikecia asked multiple times "is this real? seriously?" before she began to cry with happiness. She said yes!
