Just add water

"I had this surprise planned for you."

"And what is this 'surprise'?"

He walks up to me and gets down on one knee. "This one" and pulls out a ring. Slips it in my finger.

"Mason" I breathe

"Will you marry me Bethany?"

I try to blink away my tears. They spill over. "I can't" "What?" He looks crushed

"I can't Mason" "But I love you." His eyes pleading "I love pork but I'm not marrying it am i?" "What the hell?" He looks so confused. Right where I want him. I take the ring off. "You don't want to marry me?" I sigh.

"Not until you've figured out this Babe thing with whatever her name is. Once you do, call me." I opened my car door and stood there. "I loved you Mason." "I love you Beth- she's just a friend we were just joking-" "I put all my love into you" "Around and we're not-" "Yet you tore it. And ripped it." I get into my car and close the door.

Mason looks like a lost puppy.

I roll down the window. "When you've got this all figured out. Call me." I'm still crying. I'm such s dumbass. "Okay." Was all he could choke out, and I drove home.
