We’re giving her a fucking heart attack!

“Hello, is Bob here,” I ask, stopping a couple of feet away, crossing my arms, and smiling.

“Yes, let me get him,” the lady says, walking away.

A couple of minutes later, Bob walks out, and the lady walks behind him.

“Hello, Bear, Tex. How can I help you,” Bob asks, smiling, resting his fingers on the shiny glass top.

“Hey Bob, I’m so glad that you’re in the shop. I’m looking for an engagement ring and wedding bands,” I say, smiling, unable to hide my excitement.

“Congratulations Bear; I’m happy that you came to me because I have some excellent rings that I got a couple of days ago,” Bob says, leaning down behind the counter. He places a black velvet tray with some beautiful rings and bands.

I look at them, a little confused and overwhelmed.

Fuck!

Which one should I get? What if she doesn’t like it?

Fuck!

“Tex, come here, help me out, bro,” I say, turning to look at him and rubbing my hand at my neck.

“Motherfucker, you don’t need my help,” Tex growls, walking over and sliding his cell phone into his cut’s pocket.

“Yeah, well, I do,” I say, looking down at the rings.

“Bro, it does not matter. I’m sure you can bring her to pick out another ring if she doesn’t like it. Isn’t that right, Bob,” Tex says, looking at the jeweler?

“That’s correct; I’ll be happy to exchange it for another ring,” Bob says, grasping the countertop edge.

“Fuckingtastic! Let me look at the round stone,” I say, pointing to the diamond ring in the middle of the row.

That diamond calls me; I know that Leticia will love this ring. I can’t wait to show it to her.

“Excellent choice; this engagement ring is part of this wedding band set,” Bob says, pointing to the wedding bands on the side.

Bob hands me the engagement ring. I look at it, clenching my jaw. My heartbeat increases, and I feel so damn excited but scared.

Yeah, I want Leticia forever in my life, but marriage is something that I thought I would never do.

Fuck!

“I’ll take them, but if my Baby doesn’t like them, I’m bringing them back to exchange,” I huff, staring at Bob.

“No worries, I’ll be happy to exchange the rings for any other that she likes,” Bob says, smiling.

“Right,” I say, handing him the rings.

“Yeah, bro, all good,” Tex says, smirking.

The next day.

Fuck!
