I walked out and easily spotted him in the parking lot leaning against his car.

"Hey"I said immediately I got to him and he hugged me briefly.

"You hungry?"I raised an eyebrow at his question not sure what all this is all about. I think I really have an idea on what it is about.

"I will take you to that Italian restaurant after we are done shopping"he unlocked the car with his keys and I sighed.

"That still doesn't explain where we are going Ian"I grumbled as I headed to the passenger side.

"Oh you will see"he smirked at me after he entered and I huffed.

"Are you going to murder me because Olive loves me more than you? I better call her so I at least have a witness if you succeed"I teased and he turned to me with an eye roll.

"I am not killing you yet. She loves me more, besides, I don't think it's ideal to be comparing a boyfriend and best friend's love. You can't tell her anything about this, it is a surprise"I nodded at that and looked out through the window.

He stopped in front of the red traffic light and waited for it to turn green. He started the car again and took an unfamiliar route. I wasn't scared of this or anything. I trust both of them so much. He drove into an high class shop and looked for an empty spot to park in. It was obvious from the name of the shop what he was planning to do.

"You are proposing to her, right?"I squealed and he nodded.

"Oh My God! It's finally happening! How am I going to keep my mouth shut on this great news? My best friend is getting married"I blurted out and he rubbed his neck nervously.

"She hasn't said yes yet"he mumbled and I smacked his arm.

"Both of you are idiots for always doubting each other's love. I am sure she wants this as much as you"I beamed and got out.

"Come on! We have got to pick the perfect ring for my girl"I shouted and headed to the entrance not bothering to see if he was coming.

We entered almost immediately and headed to the best jewelry shop in New York.

"Welcome ma'am and sir to our jewelry shop. What would you like to purchase from us?"a cheery lady said after spotting us coming in.

"We are shopping for proposing ring"I said and she squealed.

"Are you guys getting married? You look so cute together"she squealed and I choked.
Ew!

"Nah! He is the husband and I am the FRIEND"the girl blushed embarrassed for getting the wrong idea.

"Sorry for the wrong assumption" I dismissed her knowing it was pointless to be mad at her.

"Show us your best special ring editions" Ian said and she gestured for us to follow her.

We headed to back and she brought forward some ruby box. She opened them and I was awed by the design. They screamed money and looked so beautiful.

"Which one do you think she is going to like?"Ian talked to me and I examined them. "She wouldn't like something too flashy. We should look for one that screams simple and expensive. My friend doesn't deserve any less"I said without looking up from the rings.

One caught my eye and I picked it up.
It was a diamond ring and was really expensive. The pearls in the middle made it have that classy and simple look.

"This is perfect"I squealed and gave it to Ian to have a look.

He smiled and nodded at me. "We will take this"the lady took it from him and stared at it.
