A Very Long (Wait For) Engagement

(My boyfriend has had my engagement ring for several weeks now, but hasn’t asked me to marry him yet. He’s already skipped asking me on Valentine’s Day a week earlier. I’m getting rather eager. Finally, I notice him acting nervous all day and know that today is the day! We go to church, we go out to lunch, we go shopping, we go to a movie, we go a store, all day we are together, and he still hasn’t given me my ring! He is driving me home, minutes before curfew. I get frustrated, while at a stop light at an intersection.)

Me: “So are you going to ask me, or what?”

Boyfriend: “Uh… Well, you wanna?”

Me: “Yes! Duh!”

(My boyfriend opens the center compartment in the car and hands me the ring box. Totally not romantic. And yet, it’s so us!)
