Max
I've been waiting for 3 weeks! Did I scare her? But she said she'd think about it. Maybe it was too soon. But I know she wouldn't date me unless it's something serious. What am I going to do now? I'm currently a mess.

Alexis
I've been thinking for 3 weeks. Since I came back to school, I've been like a ghost. I really can't concentrate. What he said confused me.

If y'all are wondering, Max proposed to me. Marriage proposal. Weird right?

Flashback
Max came over to the booth and sat down.

"Hey", he said, smiling.

"Sup man."

His smile didn't waver. "I've been better. Really busy these days."

I didn't say anything yet. His smile is beautiful. I thought I had a simple crust on him but it's been a year now. Maybe it's more than that but I doubt he sees me that way so I'd rather respect my self. Besides, I don't date.

"Alexi?"

Crap. I must have zoned out again.

"Yeah?"

"I was asking if I should drive you to my place or back to Amara's."

Amara would have those classmates of ours around. Really, most of them are just annoying.

"I'll crash at yours."

We got to his house and player video games for an hour or so.

"Alexi," he said after we put the games away, "I have something to tell you."

"OK?"

He took a deep breath and began.
"Alexi, I've known you for a year and I've seen you in my dreams even before I met you. I feel like I've known you forever. I know you'd never date me unless it's something serious so I promise that if this doesn't work out, we'll call it off. Alexi, will you marry me?"

I was dumbfounded. I blinked rapidly to make sure it was reality. You know that feeling you have when you realise that your crush likes you back? That's what I felt and something else.
Dread.
I'm OK with being friends but a relationship, no. It's because I can't trust myself anymore. I've been hurt so many times and when even my own father started tormenting me, I couldn't take it anymore. Let's say I have trust issues.

"Uhmm, can I think about it?"

Did I just say that??

"Of course."

"I'll get back to you in a few days."

"OK."

I stood up to leave.

"Should I take you home?" he asked.

"Nah. I'll be fine. Bye Max."

"Bye Alexi."

As I left, I looked at the red paint. I remembered how I tried to disregard that one dream. I needs to tell you, I take my dreams seriously. I guess I finally understand why I saw this house. Red paint and gold rails.
Blake.
End of flashback.

When I got back to Canada I called my Mom and told her about it. I'm sorry but I can't trust my rationality to actually make good decisions. My Mom helps me make major decisions.

I've been waiting for a response from her. Waiting for 3 weeks.
First, why would a star want to marry me? I'm the equivalent of a mad person. Literally.
Secondly, what did me mean that he saw me in his dreams? I didn't think anyone would be a psycho like me.
Thirdly, there's my father. In our culture, the father must give a consent to any marriage otherwise you're on your own. I doubt he'll do it because he hates me.
I have so many things to think about and my head hurts.

Just then, my phone rings.
I look at the screen, 'Baby girl @Mom'.

"Hey Mom. How are you?"

"I'm fine dear and you?"

"I'm stressed."

"About the proposal?"

"Yeah."

"Do you like him?"

"A lot."

"Do you want to say yes?"

What sort of question is that?

"Yeah."

Then what are you waiting for?

I smile. "Thanks mom."

"You're welcome dear."

Then I hang up. At least that one is settled. See what I mean when I say she helps me make major decisions?

A/N
Hey guys. What do you think of this chapter? So yeah, I decided to put Max in that line of having dreams. Do you think all his dreams tell him the future like Alexis'? I know the proposal may seem too soon but the drama comes after that. Then again, remember Alexis despises the idea of dating for fun. Basically,  I just put the proposal before dating there to depict core Nigerian culture.
Anyway, see you next time my lovelies,
Diane
