From when I left Troys house I walked to my old condo and stared at the bare ground where it used to be. It seemed like my dreams had died with it... oh wait, I kept forgetting about that night Lincoln and I had spent together... but it wasn't even that great!!!!! All he had done was the fireworks and told me a little bit about his life. It didn't seem like he was feeling any real emotion. It felt like he was just reciting the lines of a play...
Anger flared inside of me and I threw my bag on the ground. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!??" I screamed into the ground and balled my hands in fists, stiffly bringing them to my sides. Time went by too slowly, I needed action!!!
I grabbed my bag out of the dirt and shook it then slung it over my shoulder and began my walk to Rianes house.
The door was locked when I got there. So I waited.
Trojan eventually showed up and looked really happy.
"Hi Trojan. Why so happy?" I asked monotonously.
"Well dude, I was thinking about what you said and I've decided to .." He leaned in close and whispered. "Propose tomorrow."
I whipped back and screamed, jumping up and down. "I'm so happy!!! AHHHH!" I hugged him and slapped him on the back. "Good job how are you going to do it? Can I see the ring?" I was so happy, and relieved.
He smiled. "Here, let's go inside and discuss this."
We went inside his house and sat at the kitchen table. He took the box of crayons out of his pocket and fear briefly flashed across is eyes. He seemed to stare at them for a second before quickly tucking them away in a drawer that seemed to be somewhat hidden. He then produced a small box out of his other pocket. "I admit it, I went right to the Diamond cellar after you spoke to me." His cheeks were as red as roses when he said this.
I laughed. "Of course you did." I leaned forward in anticipation as he slowly opened it. A beautiful diamond in the center of a silver ring shone up at me. "Wow, she will love it so much." I gaped. It must be so expensive.. he was a supermodel though, so I guess it wasn't that hard for him to scrape up the money for that.
The door opened and I heard footsteps in the hallway. "Hide it! I whispered a little too loudly.
He fumbled it in his big hands and blindly stuck it down his shirt.
Riane walked into the kitchen and squinted her eyes at us. A grin slowly crept up her face and she went over to Trojan, kissing him on the cheek. "You look nice today. How was your meeting with the boss?"
I whipped my head over to Trojan. He said he was babysitting his sisters kid! Who was he lying to? Me probably? But what was up with the crayons? Oh wait, he could've done both today.
"It was good, he said he'd like to see us tomorrow at the park at 4 o'clock." He glanced at me and winked.
OHHHH, I got it now. This was all part of his plan.
"Alright, can you tell him I might be a little late though? I have an appointment with my personal trainer in the morning.
"Of course." He smiled at her with an intense love in his eyes that I'd never seen before. He really loved her. Everytime he looked at her his face would light up and he would look as though he was in a trance. I had also noticed that every time they did anything together he would glance at her a lot. He got up and hugged her and kissed her on the forehead then sat back down as she smiled and left the room.
"Wow Trojan. I can't believe you're doing this... You guys are so perfect for each other and I feel like your marriage will be something beautiful."
He seemed to swell up with pride when I said this. "Yes, it will be." He looked at me with an expression of pure happiness and suddenly I was enveloped in a tight hug.
He pulled away and whispered "When you spoke to me earlier I had been thinking about marriage and was getting nervous because my parents were divorced, but after you asked me that question, I told myself that Riane and my love is so much deeper than theirs ever was.
