This is Actually Happening!

My best friend got a roommate and I asked him to show me a picture of her. I knew right when I saw it, I had to meet her. I begged my friend to set me up with her. So he called her up while she was visiting her dad and told her to come home because he had someone that wants to meet her. She wasn't very enthusiastic about that, considering she yelled back at him "Heck no! I'm not meeting anybody. Who do I gotta meet folks? You meet him." and hung up. Fast forward a few days to her birthday. I was leaving the doctors office and my buddy texted me and said that she was at home right now and that if I wanted to meet her I better hurry. So, I left straight from there and rushed to Cuba in hopes that she wouldn't leave before I got there. When I pulled up, she was sitting on the front porch with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a cigarette all alone and in the dark on her birthday. We sat around and talked all night until my buddy got off of work at two that morning. Several days passed and I knew I wanted to see her again, but didn't know when I would get another chance. So, instead of waiting, I went to her job and and spent her entire shift following her like a lost puppy. That night, I decided that I was going to win her over. So, I snuck around and bought her a gallon of milk, two Snickers bars, a pack of Oreos, and a big bag of Mini Snickers. When she got off work that night, I followed her back to her's and my friend's house to watch Jeepers Creepers. Once we got there, my friend locked her in the bathroom so I could put all of the stuff I bought her on her bed. We became pretty good friends after that.

The day I decided I was going to buy the ring was one of the best days of my life. I was so excited to have it that I just couldn't wait and I knew that I wanted to propose to her that day. I told her that I was going shopping with my grandma so she wouldn't get suspicious. I went to so many different places, but none of them looked "right." So, I decided to go to Sam's Club and just look around. I immediately saw "the one." I knew I would do anything to get it for her. I rushed home and while she was in the bathroom, I placed the ring on her pillow, like I did with the Oreos and Snickers. When she came out, I pointed at the pillow and told her to grab the box. When she turned around, I was down on both knees. (She turned around before I could get one of my knees back up) She said yes and we were engaged. It wasn't the traditional "down on one knee" proposal, but it was OURS and something we will remember forever.
