OTS: temporary insanity.
he did it in the park.
yes, it was pretty tacky.. but the way everything was neatly set up, made it just about perfect as he is to me.
i woke up to my old-school nokia cell phone, which violently disturbed me from a really intense dream that i unfortunately can't remember anymore. I picked up my heavy arm from my bed and reached blindlessly for my phone.
"ellooo?" i asked in my half asleep toned voice.
it was him.
i threw a minor tantrum at him explaining about how ungrateful i was, since he'd woken me up from what i think was a really good dream. However, he ignored my whining and told me he had plans for us to meet at the park today at around sunset and not to be late or his plans would be ruined.. totally ignoring the fact that i might have plans before and after sunset. he always had planned out days for just us two, and i loved every one of them. luckily, tonight i had no plans, and i guess.. it was another piece in this puzzle that spelled F A T E. So i got up, wore a yellow scarf with a plain tee, high waisted skirt, office suiting flats, an oversized messenger bag with my ray ban sunglasses and made a hayden braid using the front of my hairline just loose enough to pull a few stands of hair out for messy but clean bangs. I was always precise with what i wore and my physical appearance, even though he told me anything would look fine..men.
Before i left for work, i turned my webcam on for a temporary mirror and redid my makeup.. closely lining brownish gold eyeshadow agains black liquid eyeliner on my top eyelid. I wanted to look perfect all the time for him. I got to the park prior to sunset and scanned the parking lot for him. He was just a few meters away, and when we caught each others eyes, we both smiled. Boy, can he smile. His hazel eyes reflected the sun, making his face so delicate for a strongly built man.
"What do you have planned for today?"
He told me to go straight into his chevy and told me we were going for a ride. We were both strangely silent in the car.. i was anxious to find out the where and whats and he looked nervously plain. We got out of his car to a deserted hill, overlooking the water and far away islands. As i found a spot to sit where the sun lay, he brought out a cooler and a blanket for us to share. Another sweet day planned out by him, it was perfect.
We were sitting and staring out into the blue, and i caught him from the corner of my eye, staring at me. "Why are you staring at me?" Something i'd always ask, though i knew what he would say. I found it creepy, yet in a strange way, charming. He responded with a smile and planted a soft kiss that lasted for about 2 seconds. The sun was near the horizon, and everything was set in place.. as he drew his hand into his pocket and pulled out a white velvet case. I unintentionally felt wetness running down my face, that caught the ends of my brought up mouth corners..smiling. Facinated like a small girl, i looked deeply into the shimmering ring, he told me that i could wear sweatpants for the rest of my life.
I now knew why he'd pick this very moment, as i whispered a soft "yes," I just agreed to be married.
"love is a temporary insanity that is cured with marriage."
