'I'm the girl you'd die for.

I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out

Cause that's what young love is all about.

So pull me closer, and kiss me hard

I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart.'

David banged his hands against the patent glass counter, shocking the sales lady and customers.

It was an act of pure chagrin.

And the reason was even more silly than the actual gesture.

He could simply not pick. . .the perfect ring.

Why was this such a struggle?

It was merely just an expensive rock.

David realized it was because of the pressure he endured.

The pressure to please Lana.

If she didn't like the ring, he'd go mad and feel utterly deficient.

"Sir, I have more choices if you are not fully satisfied?" The young girl rung him back.

The young college girl, looked scared out of her wits.

David scolded himself for behaving so childishly.

"No, I've made my decision."He spoke firmly.

One particular ring that sparked his mind.

It was the first one he laid eyes on when he walked by the boutique a couple months back.

He was enraptured with the ring's sleekness and beauty.

It was indeed the most luxurious, emerald incrusted ring.

He liked how it was a perfect match to Lana's magnificent eyes.

Yes, this was the one.

He purchased the ring and safely stored it in the breast pocket of his blazer.

David reassured himself as he sauntered home.

This was it.

His heartbeat drummed rapidly.

He prayed she would not reject him.

The word 'no' was encaved in his skull.

A heavy burden to his fragile soul.

She would be the death of him.
