How did we Meet?

Little did my mother know she was working under my future wife or like Keila like to say her future son inlaw. So as my mother went on and on about me to Keila, I came to their job site to help out and apparently for Keila it was love at first sight. Things weren't the same for me. When my mother made Keila aware that I had her phone Keila ofcourse took it upon herself to let me know my mother wanted it back. I ignored her and proceeded to my mother's whereabouts. About a week later I came to pick up my check and guess who just so happens to be standing around up front? You guess it! Keila Smith, she decided to come up and bug me with a old high school friend of mine that I couldn't stand. Her first words to me was "I know your mom." Anyone else would have been flattered, but me ima different breed. I jump on defense, in my mind she was lien to make conversation, "My mom aint gay" was my response. She laughed me off and said "No I use to be her boss!" Like a school girl I laugh the embarrassment off, figuring out what she was up to I asked her for her number I'll hit her later, really just tryna get her out my face. She gave me the number and I went back to the car where i asked my mom did she know the girl. I kid yall not this woman said "Yeah she gone tell me she my future son in law stay yo tail away from her." Now if yall know me yall know I didnt listen. My first message to her was "You told my mom your gonna b her future son in law?" She laughed and said yes and the rest is history.

The Proposal

Every year The Smith family places flowers on there mother's grave site. I decided to go along on their trip. After the flowers where placed and everyone was in there own conversation, Keila grab my hands and ask me “Will you Mary Me?”. Keila idolized her grandmother and valued the love Keila grandmother had for her. So being proposing to on Keila grandmother grave site, for Keila, was like having her grandmother there while asking the love of her life to spend the rest of there lives together. We havent been dating for that long so once again on defense I snatched my hands away and told her “Not to play with me, I dont play like that.” Keila grabbed my hands again and said “No im serious I want to marry you!” In shock I said “Yes!”
