A knock on her door sent her scrambling onto her feet. She had barely put on any cloth as she rushed to open the door. Ralia knew who was at her door. She had heard his car pull up in her garage.

Ralia welcomed Steven in with a cheerful look and for the next hour and half, they went from fondling with the hooks and buttons of one another's clothes to making out and having several bouts of sex.

It was after one such bout of sex that steven sat up in bed and turned to speak to Ralia. He didn't have the usual smiling look he always had on his face each time she saw him. That served to show the the gravity of what he was about to tell her. She feared he was going to ask that they stop having sex. Her heart was in her mouth as she listened eagerly.

'Ralia. I have something important to ask you.' he said, not even staring at her almost naked body.

'What is it?.' She asked, almost unable to maintain eye contact. She already had feelings for this man. Deep feelings.

Steven went down on one knee and from the pocket of his trouser which lay on the floor, he produced a small ring with a glittering diamond ring on top.

'Will you marry me.'?

Ralia's mind melted but she couldn't say a word. This was the third time they were having sex, although they had hung around some times. When she started the sexual relationship with him,she never expected it would end up like this. With him on his knees, diamond ring in hand, proposing to her.

Looking at Steven with the ring in his hand, she went back to memory lane, to how everything all started...


They had met at a club some months ago, it was one of her friend's birthday party. Raila was a party rocker and everyone knew. Her mode of dressing is always unique coupled with her slim, sexy body. She could fit as a perfect model any day.

She was amidst her friends, giggling and having fun when Steven with so much confidence interrupted their conversation with a melodious voice. When he spoke, trying to impress anyone who cares. She had looked at him and in that instant felt an attraction which was purely physical, one many described as "Lust".

They went home together that night and they had sex for when the body betrays, the mind could control but when the mind betrays, there's nothing the body could do.

The following morning while she was leaving, Steven had insisted on taking her home by himself but she ensured it didn't happen, to her she feels it just one of those nights and by the week he would have forgotten about her.

Steven wasn't ready for what he got, he had felt something special, the sex they had was so passionate and an experience he wants to hold on to and he pursued his thoughts, which results to them being in this moment.

Although she had feelings for him now, deep feelings, so much that she had described and discuss him with many of her friends on several occasions. His name was a song, everyone in her surroundings had heard of by now, like a hit track the waves is strong in the atmosphere.

The thoughts of marrying him, getting to be his life partner had crossed her mind one or two times but she shoved it into a corner of her heart. "It's just a sexual relationship" she always tells herself.

Now, he his on his knees proposing marriage, she felt nothing but joy. Still she hesitated, many thoughts rushed through her mind, she remembered her friend Julie who her boyfriend Mark had proposed to many years ago, it was after a month or so that they had met.

Many people tried to convince Julie that Mark is a player, a serial cheater but she wouldn't listen, she believed him. Raila remembered how many times she advised her about the proposal telling her "It's too fast".

Many years had passed now, Julie has seen for herself what Mark truly is, the ring was just a coy, a strategy to ensure she believed him, and ensure he had her for himself while he continued his adulterous lifestyles. She remembered the name many used in mocking her friend, Julie, "The lord of the rings" they called her.

She believed Steven though, the few times they had been together for a hang out, they had discussed nothing more than how both of them can develop themselves professionally in their careers, adopt a healthy lifestyle, and improve mentally, socially and at one they had discussed spirituality.

She waited no more and she said "YES".
