Millet drops a cu-p of conffee for Jesse on the table.
“Here you go Jesse”.
“Thanks Millet”. Jesse muttered .
Millet smiles and sits in the sofa next to Jesse.
She waited for him to gulmp down his coffee, and the moment Jesse drops the cu-p of coffee on the table, she quickly asked.
“So tell me Jesse, why are you here”.
“Why Millet, can’t I pay you a visit”. Jesse asked looking at her.
“Well,,,you can,,,,but is kind of awkward,,, anyway how is Sharon and Alvin doing, I hope you aren’t given them a ha-rd time”.
“Of course not Millet”.
“I hope so too Jesse, just because I kept calm before, doesn’t mean I will do the same now, if you ever hurt Sharon or make her cry again, you are going to answer to me”.
Jesse smiles.
“That won’t happen again Millet”.
“Well I do hope so too Jesse, or should I call you boss Jay”. Millet sad.
And Jesse chuckles with a smile.
Millet looks at him and smiles too.
“Actually Millet there is a reason I came here”.
“I knew it, what help do you nee-d this time, and is okay Jesse, you don’t have to thank me for being there for Sharon over the years.”
Jesse looks at her, and his jaw drop.
“Millet are you by chance a witch or a seer, how did you know what I was about to say to you”.
“That because am not clueless like you Jesse, and am good at studying people’s face, that way I get to know what they want”. Millet said.
“br@vo Millet”. Jesse said giving her a high thumbs up still in surprise.
“So what do nee-d my help for, are you planning on proposing to Sharon”. Millet asked.
And again, Jesse looks at her in shock.
“I already told you Jesse, am good at reading people’s facial expressions so why are you still surprised.
“Who won’t be Millet, you just said everything I have in mind”.
“Well,,,,should I be a for seer then”. Millet said in a mockery way.
And both laugh.
“So are you going to help me”. Jesse asked some minutes later.
“Of course I will Jesse, Sharon is my best friend and also a sister to me, so even if you didn’t ask for my help, I was still going to help”.
“Thanks Millet”. Jesse muttered with a smile.
And Millet nods.

Rhett keeps watching Millet as she glances throu-gha magazine fli-pping throu-ghthe page front and back.
“What are you doing”. Rhett asked.
“Not now Rhett”. Millet answers with her eyes forcus on the pages.
Rhett sighs and continues looking at her.
And Millet all of a sudden covers the magazine and hits the table.
“Why can’t I find anything”.
“What exactly are you looking for in that magazine”. Rhett asked.
“Just forget it Rhett, you won’t even know if I tell you”.
“Then just give it a try Millet”.
Millet sighs and said.
“Fine, Jesse wants to propose to Sharon, and he is counting on me for that, but I can’t even find a very good place he can propose to her”.
“You are not the one who he wants to propose to, so why are you getting cook up over it”.
“Really Rhett,,,,,,Sharon is so important to me and this is her wedding proposal with the one she loves, Jesse is going to surprise her by proposing to her, and it has to be very special,,you know if you are just going to vomit out nonsense from that mouth of yours, is better you keep quiet”. Millet said and continues looking at the magazine.
“Am sorry Millet”. Rhett muttered.
But Millet ignores him.
“Actually I have a greater idea, it doesn’t necessarily nee-d to done in a garden”.
Millet covers the magazine and looks at Rhett.
“Then where Rhett”. She asked.
Rhett smiles and went to sit beside her, and whispers something in her ear.
Millet looks at him, and a smile appears on her face.
“Wow,,my boyfriend is so smart”. Millet said smiling pinching both sides of his cheeks playfully.
“I thought you said I was vomiting nonsense”.
“I was only jocking”. Millet said and pecks his cheek and looks at him giggling.
Rhett chuckles with a smile shaking his head.

“Where are you taking me Millet, is already late already, I don’t want Alvin or Jesse to be worried about me”.
“Am sure they won’t Sharon, just come with me”. Millet said.
And Sharon sighs as Millet keeps dragging her to only Where God knows.
They got to the entrance of a hall and Millet said.
“Open it Sharon”.
“What in the God’s name are we doing here Millet”. Sharon asked.
“Just open the God damn door Sharon”. Millet said sounding angry.
Sharon looks at her and sighs before opening the door of the hall.
And just as she did, Millet pushed her inside and locks it.
“Millet what are you doing, open the door is so dark in here”. Sharon half yells knocking on the door.
“Millet!!!!!!!”. Sharon yells.
And then lights all of a sudden shines around the hall, making the Hall look so beautiful.
And the hall was so well decorated and designed, and violinists came out from no where and began to play a beautiful sweet Melody.
Sharon just look at them in surprised, and she couldn’t tell what was going on until she saw a word boardly written in a well decorated banner.
“WILL YOU MARRY ME”. Sharon reads, and immediately gasps covering her mouth.
She turns behind her and sees Jesse kneeling before her holding a very beautiful diamond ring ?.
“Jesse”. She muttered in surprised.
“Will you marry me Sharon”. Jesse asked.
And tears falls down Sharon’s eyes as she continues looking at him.
“Will you marry me”. Jesse asked again still on his knees.
“Yes, yes,I will marry you Jesse”. Sharon said hu-gging him.
And both stands to their feet still hu-gging each other.
Jesse disengage the hu-g, and inse-rted the ring in her finger.
Sharon looks at the ring and smiles in tears.
“I love you so much Sharon”.
“And I love you so much too Jesse”.
Both smiles and hu-g each other.
“ki-ss, ki-ss, ki-ss, ki-ss”. The voices of Janet, Joanna, Liam, Millet, Rhett and few persons could be heard, as they hit the glas-ses of their wines, walking to where they were.
Sharon shakes her head looking so shy.
But Jesse pulls her closer and ki-ssed her.
And they was a loud shout from them.
Sharon disengage the ki-ss and hits his che-st playfully, Jesse smiles and pulls her into a hu-g.
And it was the best of moment ever.
