I could see that he was excited and scared at the same time, he gave me the box and I opened it, there lay the most beautiful ring I had ever seen, that moment I felt like crying but I took one deep breath and I said that it was beautiful. He was glad that I approved and I looked at it closer to see the sparkle.....there it was.... glinting back into my eyes.
You have no idea how scared I am he said to me, I asked him why and he says that he wasn't sure whether it was the right time, he didn't know whether he would get a yes or no, he had no idea where he would actually propose.
I looked straight at him and I started throwing at him some interesting ideas. A picnic would be amazing or a dinner just the two or with friends? what if she said no in front of friends, what about at church since she is religious, nahhh too fruity.
I watched him continue to ponder with other ideas, he told me how nerve wrecking it was for him to have decided to make that decision of buying the ring, yes she had been hinting for a long time about it and he decided it was time.
I silently slipped into my own world and wondered, will I ever get that ring? shall a man somewhere have butterflies because he doesn't know how he will propose? Looking back... all I got was calls in the middle of the night with a drunken voice declaring love for me or a threat of how we should do something about our relationship. Huh! Life is indeed strange. Some of us get the actual proposal while some get the ring after being knocked up or some weird circumstance. Does the woman actually push the man into getting that rock?
If I ever get that proposal, he better come riding a white horse, sweep me off to the private jet waiting to take me to Jacob the jeweller in New York....for me to custom make my own ring with different cuts of diamonds, gold, platinum and pearls. He better propose at the Ritz in Paris at the presidential suite with private services of a chef, waiter and a Latino man singing all my favourites in opera style, he can have a billboard outside the hotel written WILL YOU MARRY ME! then with the finale of a flash mob, TOOO MUCH??
Go figure why im still waiting
