"How are you liking the food?" The fork twirled the pasta around itself. Her head rapidly nodded as she stuffed more food in her mouth. "Not a proper answer, but okay." I replied as she uncontrollably giggled to herself. "Sorry, but this is really good. Okay, continue your story about the vending machine." She held her face in the palms of her hands and acted like a child engaged in a fairytale. My leg bounced anxiously as I tried to mentally prepare myself to pop the question.
"Well, I wanted to actually tell you something else." It felt my hearing enhanced by 100, because I could practically hear every conversation going on in this restaurant and the scratches of people's forks against their plates. I lied my hand over hers biting my lip.
"I love you, Camila. I, um, know that we've been having our ups and downs, but I know that in the end we will always love each other. I will... will forever be there for you and, um, I hope you will always be there for me too. I simply can't imagine my life without you. I'm sorry, I'm really nervous right now. Um." Her attention stayed on mine as I kneeled down next to her and pulled out a small gray box of my back pocket held it out in the palm of my hand. I could hear mutters come through out the restaurant. Camila's eyes struck wide open at the box. I wasn't sure how to feel about her expressions. Her lips parted at the sight of it.
"I love you so much, Baby. Will you marry-"
"No...I'm so sorry."
She pushed passed me and jolted out of sight. My heart pounded like a sledgehammer in my chest. Now, all eyes were on me.
