Again (Brandy Jeffus)

tears fall.
    “Bonnie Marie Jinks, I’ve lost you once already and I don’t think I can take it a second time. I need to ask you an important question…again.”
    I am grinning like a fool. I can’t help myself. Finally, everything in my universe has come together. God is giving me a second chance at my happy ever after.
    “Bonnie, marry me?” The audience claps and cheers. All I can do is shake my head yes Eli lays the microphone down and jumps up. He wraps his arms around me in a strong hug and lifts me up.
    “I love you, so much B. Thank you.” He whispers, his breath hot on my ear. “I can’t wait to make you Mrs. Bonnie Stone.”
    “We were made for each other, Eli. I love you.”
    He sits me down and kisses me. His lips cover mine completely and a slow burn starts in my stomach. The crowd is still going crazy, but all I concentrate on is Eli.
    Our kiss finally ends and Eli thanks the band and the crowd before we exit. He takes me around back and I finally look at my ring. It’s my ring, from the first proposal. I had given it back to him shortly after the break up.
    “I wanted you to have it again. It seemed right,” Eli explains quietly, taking hold of my hand and admiring the ring.
    “Together again,” I reply softly, bringing my hand up to caress his face. He’s warm to the touch, definitely on an adrenaline high.
    “I’m never letting you go, Bonnie. I’m promising you forever here.”
    “Good. I don’t want it any other way.”
    With that, we start kissing and get lost in our own world. I finally have the one my soul loves.
