We decided on forever

We "officially" noticed each other at an After Party for my brother's baby shower. I would have never thought I would have any interest in my younger brother's best friend. But, after a few drinks together, we realized we had a lot more in common than we thought. Nothing serious came from that day, we thought it was just simple flirting (mostly on my part). Fast forward to a few weeks later, I tag along with my brothers and him to go to some bars in Pacific Beach. My brother convinced Kyle to get my number, so that he could reach me if we all got separated. (Talk about easy) Once he had that, it was a wrap. He texted me, immediately, the next morning and we talked for hours. We have been inseparable ever since.

We had a huge gathering at my Dad's house to celebrate my brother's and my birthday. Once everyone arrived, Kyle announced it was time to open gifts. Which I thought was weird, because adults do not need to open gifts in front of each other. He started to give this speech about our cancelled plans to celebrate in Mexico. So, I'm just staring at him like, "why are you telling all our business??" In that moment, he reaches into a gift bag (meant for my brother) and busts out the ring. Cue the screams and crying. It was perfect.
