Just As Good
Keshia Robertson
Blurb -
Evan Hermes traded in romance for pragmatism when he suggested marriage at their New Year's Eve party to his girlfriend Kitt Preston. It was a “suggestion” which wasn’t well received by the love of his life. Though it’s taken him most of the year to figure out the perfect proposal, this time romance is front and center to obtain a yes!
Kitt has been in love with Evan ever since he asked her out during their first year of college. Tall, handsome, and a family man, Evan is the kind of person that most women would be falling over themselves to marry…but not her. Kitt is only willing to say yes to a marriage proposal that is worthy of their love and years together.

4
days before Christmas
A
second chance for Evan to propose felt about as miraculous as Santa
Claus standing in the middle of his living room with an inheritance
grand enough for him, Kitt, and their future children’s children to
each share comfortably.
As
a grown man, it was kind of silly to believe in things such as the
miracle of the holidays, but even after discovering Santa’s
nonexistence at the age of eight just as his mother lost her battle
to cancer, he still saved some hope for Santa during the holidays.
Kitt
had left the house that week to spend it helping her mother and
stepfather get ready for their trip to Barbados. Evan shivered before
pressing the doorbell to Kitt’s parent’s house. She had been the
friend he lusted over for a greater part of first year until he
confessed to her and they became a couple. He would forgive Santa for
allowing people to say that he was someone who didn’t exist if the
old man had his back for just this one holiday. He wanted to make it
a Christmas that Kitt wouldn’t be able to forget.
Kitt
opened the door with a large pink suitcase rolling behind her.
“Are
you immigrating to my parent’s cottage?” he asked.
Evan
smiled at her as Kitt stuck her tongue out at him. He knew her to be
a person who traveled only after packing half of her closet even if
it was just for a day.
“I
always win your parents and brothers over with my runway model
wardrobe,” Kitt teased. “And you know I have a lot of hair
products.”
“I
would figure,” he said.
Her
thick, curly hair formed small spirals around her shoulders. It had
been their first source of conversation after Kitt asked to stand
under his umbrella on the first day of university classes. He had
looked down at the shorter girl beside him seeing only curls, large
glasses, and flawless brown skin before he decided that he had fallen
for her.
He
reached for her suitcase. “I’ll take that.”
“Ah…holding
doors and carrying all of the heavy things…” she said. “Good
boyfriend.”
She
turned to lock her front door and then walked to his car. The word
“boyfriend” was appearing in a grateful afterthought in her
sentences. If he had done more than suggest marriage, he would be
called “future husband” sweetly instead.
