M.I.N.E

Ivory Evans

My heart was beating fast when I saw Leon walking into the small pharmacy across the street. I knew he's going to buy a bandage or some medicine to treat my wound, I'm not dumb.

I thought he's going to be douchebag earlier but he's different. Ever since I knew the definition of attraction, love and boys.. I never met someone like him. He's very polite, well-mannered and considerate.

I decided to walk back to the restaurant and the parents were surprised to see me walking back alone.

"Ivory, did Leon say something bad to you?" Wesley asked and I turned to him shaking my head.

"Why did you come back alone?" My dad asked and I was speechless. I wanted to answer but my lips glued together. I saw the entrance door open revealing Leon with a box of bandages on his hand.

"Where were you? Why did you leave her alone?" Welsey asked Leon and Leon looked confused but he pointed to the bandage that he bought.

"What happened?" Marie, Leon's mom, asked and Leon turned to me. When our eyes met, I knew.

"Mom.. Dad.."

"Huh?" My dad asked and I kept my eyes glued to Leon.

"I want to marry him." I stated confidently and Leon's eyes widen. I turned to my parents and they completely looked at me like I'm crazy.

"He bought that bandage for me because I hurt my feet." I said as I pointed at the bandage.

"You.. you want to marry him?" My dad asked, confirming my statement from earlier.

"How about you, Leon?" I turned to Leon and he was speechless.
