I'm not focusing at all during my work on Monday because I am way too excited for later today. I will be over at Scarlett's, who would have thought, and we will have dinner together and she said she wanted to take me somewhere but it's a surprise where.
Brooke knowingly smiles at me as she knows what day today is since I told her, I just couldn't keep it to myself. She is understanding and says she can finish the project we're currently working on by herself, letting me go an hour earlier than usual. I'm very thankful for that and promise to pay her back one day. She laughs and waves it off, saying we wouldn't be much faster together since I'm not able to concentrate. I grin and nod in agreement, not ashamed about that.
On my way back to my apartment, I text Jesse because he, of course, needs to be kept up on how things are going. He was super excited when I told him I got a ring and that I plan on proposing very soon.
I actually planned on doing it today but I'm not sure how and when yet. I hoped to come up with an idea, since it would be perfect with Lizzie watching Rose but my brain was way too occupied with being excited.
Honestly, I always kinda thought that when you propose to someone, that you'd also be scared, at least a bit, that it may be the wrong decision or that they don't feel the same way but now I know, that's not the case. I am not even a tiny bit scared because I know it is right and Scarlett feels the same way as I do, we talked about this often enough.
I also see Scarlett texting me, that she is done for today and I send her a text back, telling her I also got off earlier. When I arrive at home, I check the mailbox and am surprised to see something in there.
I take the large envelope and when I see from who it is, I feel a different kind of excitement rushing through me. Quickly, I hurry up the stairs to put my things away and freshen up a little. I decide to wear jeans shorts and a white blouse to go to Scarlett's. My hair looks a little messy, so I brush it until I am happy with the way it looks.
I take the envelope and open it, my heart pounding in my chest and when I read over the letters, I feel tears pricking in my eyes. This is what I hoped for, for a while now.
I separate the papers into two little stacks and get wrapping paper. One of the stacks I put back into the envelop and wrap it up nicely, my leg bouncing, excited to see her reaction to it.
The whole way to Scar's house, I am excited and maybe a little nervous but the good kind. I can feel the little ring box in my pocket and bite my lip to keep from yelling out in happiness. It took me a while but I found the perfect engagement ring for Scarlett, and it is even Lizzie-approved.
It's a ring made out of white gold and has little white gems on the side, with one bigger one in the middle. The middle one is a Rubin and therefore red, Scarlett's favorite color.
