The Woman of My Life

Time To Get The Rings

I park the Stylo outside Shay's and I start gettin' out the vehicle. Oh, wait! I can't forget my sunglasses! I open the middle compartment and I put on the sunglasses. I get out the Stylo and I walk towards the entrance of the jewelry store. I walk inside the store and I see the same woman from last time. "Hello! Welcome to Shay's Diamonds!", she says out loud. This time, there are two more customers in the store, unlike last week when it was only me. I walk towards the counter, only this time I look at the woman's name tag, which says 'Vanessa'. 

"How may I help you?", she asks as I stand in front of the counter. "I am here to pick up two custom ordered rings under the name 'Stuart Pot'.", I explain to Vanessa. She looks at me with observation. "Wait, I think I remember you! Weren't you the one who ordered those custom Yin Yang rings?", she asks. "Yep, that's me!", I reply with a smile. "I knew I remembered you from sometime last week. I remembered about you when two Yin Yang rings came earlier this morning. Let me get them for you.", she explains as she walks into a room behind her.

I stand in place as I start to breath quicker. I can't believe I'm finally goin' to get the rings! I wonder how they look like compared to the images on the tablet. I wait for a few seconds until she comes out with a rectangular box. I feel my heart beatin' hard in my chest as she opens the box. I look inside to see two small cubic box placed next to each other in dark red foam. Vanessa looks at me with concern. "Are you okay, Mr. Pot?", she asks. I look up at her. "Oh, yes. I'm just very excited for this moment.", I reply. "Oh, okay. You may go ahead and check the rings. The proposal ring is on your right.", she explains.

I reach for the box on the right and I carefully pick it up. I held it in my hands as if the earth will explode if I somehow dropped it; the ring is that important to me. I carefully open the box to see the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my life. It looks like the ring in the image, but much, much better. The Yin Yang symbol was in the middle. The black part of the symbol was half-clear while the white part was transparent. On each side of the symbol there are three small diamonds engraved into the ring. I know that Noodle is going to love it!

I close the box and place it back in the foam. Then, I grab my ring box and I open it. My ring is way more simpler than Noodle's, but I don't really care about my ring. I take the ring out of the box and I put it on my left ring finger. The ring is a tad loose, but it's nothing that will annoy me. Someday, wearin' this ring is goin' to mean somethin' very special. I put it back in the ring box and put it in the foam. Then, I close the rectangular box carefully.

"Okay, I already checked them out. My ring is a good size, I just need to check my girlfriend's ring.", I explain. "Okay, just give me a second and you'll be able to take them with you", she explains as she starts typin' into the computer. After she stops typin' a receipt comes out of a machine next to the computer. She rips it out, places the receipt in the rectangle ring box, and closes the box again. "Okay, you are good to go.", she says while smilin'. I grab the box and hold it firmly in my arms. "Thank you so much for your help, Vanessa", I thank her. "You are very welcome. I hope everything goes well for you and your girlfriend.", she replies.

I exit the store, walk towards the Stylo, and I carefully get inside while being mindful of the rings. I get inside the vehicle and I place the box inside the middle compartment. I'm pretty sure this is the safest place for them. Okay, when I get home, I have to make sure that Noodle doesn't see them...
