Today's going to be a guys day thank gosh. My bro and I haven't had time to hang since we got to Florida. As I put my clothes on, I go over to Tara and kiss her on the cheek. She was still sleeping so I didn't want to wake her.
I headed out the door and down to Oswaldo's room. I banged on the door.
"Dude be quiet. Kira is still sleeping!" he said angrily.
I made a face at him and smile.
"You like her man don't you?" I said making hearts with my hands.
As we go to the mall to walk around, I see a ring store out of the corner of my eye. I turned and started walking toward the store.
Oswaldo grabbed my arm and said, "Umm HELLO.. Where are you going?" he said with a confused look a crossed his face.
As I strolled into the story, I went straight over to the engagement rings. So many questions were running through my mind. Finally it hit me, I don't know her ring size. I grabbed my phone and searched for Kira's number.
To Kira: Hey just a random question what is Kira's ring size and please don't tell her I asked you this.
From Kira: Size 7 1/2 and okay I got your back!!
I found the perfect ring any girl would want. I pointed to the ring and Oswaldo just rolled his eyes.
"Come on man what the hell are you really doing." Oswaldo said.
"I really love this girl man please have my back!" I said quickly. He doesn't know what it feels like to be I love.
"Okay bro. So how are you going to propose to her? he asked.
"Okay so I was thinking I would say something like this." I whispered it in his ear.
He fist pumped me and said, "We should all go out to eat at a fancy restaurant too."
After I pay for the ring, we head to the car. I looked at my friend Oswaldo and just sent a slight smile towards him.
"What is the matter?" he asked.
"What if she says no. I don't know how I would handle it." I said.
"She will say yes okay she will!" he said.
As we pulled up to the hotel I headed up to the room.
"Babe we are going out to eat tonight so start getting ready." I yelled.
"Okay." she said in the distance.
Finally 8:00 p.m rolled by and we were off to the restaurant. As I climbed into the limo, I grabbed four glasses and filled them with wine. Handed the glasses out and said, "Here's to Florida. I am glad we came as a group."
As we pulled up to Olive Garden we climbed outside. My nerves crawled up my throat and made a knot get stuck there. A waitress lead us to our table. We all ordered our meals. That's when I saw Oswaldo wink at me.
I stood up and said, "Tara, I don't want to be your boyfriend."
Tears rose to her eyes and she managed to say, "Uhh.... ohh...kay!" She started to get up.
I grabbed her arm and said getting down on one knee, "I would like to be your husband. Will you marry me?"
She literally started to cry looking at the ring to me. She finally said, "Uhh....Yes!!"
I got up and hugged her. All I could think of was the ring!
