prelude.....engagment...
She is beauty. The epiphany of beauty. I love her and everything she does. I don’t know if she has any idea of how much. Tonight, I’m going to show her exactly what I mean. when I’m away for her, my soul yearns to be joined with hers. My heart aches when she had a bad day or when she doesn’t feel like her self. Sometimes I call her house when she’s at work. I know she’s not there but I just want to hear her voice to ease my mind. I feel so lucky that I’m the guy she wants to be with. If we ever were to part, I would feel…. Indescribably depressed. If we were to part, I would never really get over her. I hope I don’t have to. I’m on my way to her place unannounced. To surprise her with my presence. I park a couple houses down and walked up her driveway. I adjusted my khaki slacks and white shirt. I took out the box I had in my pocket out and took a deep breath. Standing there, I thought back at how these 3 years have been the best of my life. Meeting her, befriending her, then being with her as a couple. I love her and I would do anything to please her mental and emotionally. I ring the doorbell and wait for my queen to open the door. Bubbles are in my stomach and my heart is beating fast. I put the box behind my back and she opens the door. She is perfect. Hair pulled in a pony tail. Gray leggings. Pink rebox shirt. She must have been working out. I love that to.
“Hey. I thought our date was tomorrow night?” she said a little confused.
“Yes it is, but I needed to see you.”
“Ummm…ok? Come on in.”
She turned to walk away and her hips swayed from left to right. I walked in and locked the door. I’m careful of not revealing the box.
“I was in the basement on the treadmill. If u want to come down, u should go get some of your clothes from upstairs and workout with me.” she said, not knowing both of our lives were going to change forever.
“Uh. Actually, I was hoping we can talk. I uh… have something important to tell you.” I said almost choking on my words.
“Is something wrong?” her forehead scrunched up when she asked and I knew she was really concerned.
“Um. No, but I have to get something off my chest.”
She came closer to me and I got nervous. Am I sure I want to do this?
“What’s going on?” she asked me in a sincere tone.
“Um… I’m nervous so this may take a while. Bare with me.” my heart is basically bursting out of my chest. I tried not to tear up because I didn’t want to look weak. “We’ve known each other for a while and I really have deep feelings for you. I never want you to worry about anything. I want to be the one that you come home to and relax with. I want to be the one you share you feelings and thoughts with. I want to grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally with you by my side. I want to be there for you when you need someone to talk to. I want to be… with you… forever. My world is a better place with you in it. I have a reason to live now.” I get down on one knee and open the box to reveal the diamond ring that I bought her. “Will you make me the happiest man in the universe and be my wife?”
Her eyes started to tear up and she held her face. Her tears started to roll down her face. She wanted to speak but nothing came out. I was hoping what I wanted to hear would be said. I grabbed her hand and placed it in mine. I waited anxiously for her response.
“I’m… speechless….” more and more tears trailed down her perfect face. “Um… wow… I don’t know what to say.”
“Yes? Well at least that’s what I’m looking for.”
“Yes. I will marry you.”
I slid the ring on her finger and she fell into my arms. We engaged in a kiss. And we held each other all night long…. That was the best day of my life… or so I thought…
