"Can I open it?" I ask Ian with my heart racing
"Yeah, sure!" he says and I immediately open the bag and take a rectangular box that says Swarovsky on top
"Shit, he went big!" Ian says, but I barely hear him, opening it. When I see the necklace inside I put my hand on my mouth gasping.
"That bastard!" I exclaim and run outside hoping to catch him
"Logan!" I yell when I see him a few blocks away, walking with his hands in his pockets, and when he turns I run to him
"Logan I can't accept it" I say giving him the box
"Please, do..."
"It's too much"
"U love butterflies, u love the color red, it's like it was made for u"
"I don't care! It's too expensive! I can't accept it!"
"Well, u'd better, because I'm not taking it back"
"Give it to one of your sisters" I say pushing the box to his chest and he puts his hands on mine
"Sandra, I bought it for u, I had it engraved, it has your name on the back...It's yours! Wanna wear it? Wanna throw it away? It doesn't matter, it will always be yours" he says pushing my hand with the box back to me, looking me in the eyes. I look back at him with wet eyes, opening my mouth to reply, but the words don't come out
"I hope to see u wearing it sometime..."he says and leaves
When I get back at the coffee place, I see Ian with a paper bag in his hands
"Please, Ian, no..."
"I was planning on giving it to u after your shift ended, but it looks like it's present time"
"No, it's crying time!" I say sniffing and wiping my tears
"Look, I don't understand what has happened between u 2 and, frankly, I don't care, but my gift isn't that fancy, I promise!" he says giving me the bag and I open it, taking its content out
