We're one week away from the election, I'm still leading in the polls, my baby is back and I believe it's time I go buy a ring. I pull my phone out, if anyone can help me choose a ring for Giovanna is Rachel, and I know she can keep it to herself until I propose, unlike Zain.
Kai: Hey Rach, want to help me choose a ring for your best friend?
She doesn't reply, I carry on, preparing for the debate I have with the other candidates this afternoon. Richard comes strolling into my office, "why do you look so happy?" I ask him, and he smiles "My wife, told me this morning she's pregnant" I gasp, "you're married?" I cover my mouth with one hand "Why do you look so shocked?" he asks side eying me, I chuckle "First it never came up on the background check I ran before hiring you, and second because who would marry an uptight man like you?", shocked he puts his hand over his chest and gasps "you wound me" I laugh shaking my head.
My phone vibrates and I pick it up.
Rachel: Shut up! are you going to propose to my girl?
Kai: She might run away if I don't and I can let that happen
Rachel: Have you met your girlfriend? She might run if u propose...
Kai: Would she?
Rachel: I won't let her, this is the happiest I've seen her since Noah died and that's all thanks to you so don't worry, as long as you propose indoors I'll have all the exits covered ;)
Kai: Thank you, Rach, it means a lot to me, when are you free?
Rachel: We can go tmw in the afternoon if you're free
Kai: I'll clean my schedule for it
Me and Rachel go over the details and agree to meet at the jeweller tomorrow in the afternoon, winning or losing I will propose to Giovanna as soon as the race is over.
Last night was hard, I hate keeping secrets from Giovanna, so before she could ask me what was wrong I ran away from the house this morning, I say Zain is bad at keeping secrets but I'm worst.
The morning went by so slowly, but it was finally time to pick a ring to put on my queen's finger. I walk inside the jewelry store, Rachel looks up and smiles.
"Ready to choose?" she asks, "yes, can't wait for the rest of my life with her".
The saleswoman shows us a variety of rings "It's unusual to see a bride pick up a ring with her fiancé she says to us" we both look at each other and start laughing, "I'm not the one he's proposing to" Rachel tells the saleswoman, "I'm so sorry" she says.
"It's alright, she's my future wife's best friend," I say with a stupid smile on my face, just referring to Giovanna as my wife brings a smile to my face, I'm a sucker for that woman what can I say?
We browse through the rings and one of them catches my eye, it's perfect. A centered round diamond ring paved with tinny diamonds, I point at it "What about this one", Rachel follows my finger and smiles, "It's perfect".
"That will be a total of $102,000," the cashier says, I give her my card, purchase made, now we just need to figure out how and when I'm proposing.
