So by the photo, it should be obvious that I got a ring for Valentines Day. It’s actually a couple ring and it was really surprising because we never really were the type to go out of our way for Valentines Day, we’d celebrate for sure, but it would be like a corny message or a single rose. This time was different. I walked up to him, and he had nothing in his hand, and I was like oh okay, ah well. We went for a movie, and afterwards he asked me “Wanna eat waffles?” and he knows I absolutely love the waffles at MSM in Strathfield, it’s amazing, yummy and onomnom altogether. So we went, and our friend was working there and she gave us our waffles with the ice-cream next to it. I was digging into the waffle and the ice-cream was slowly melting beside it. I told Benjamin to eat the ice-cream and he was eating like so little, so little that it was suspicious. It took me around 10 minutes to realize he hid the ring inside the ice-cream. But it was so cute, I swear! I was like -poke- “WHAAA? OHHHHHH HAHA” And he was full like “Omg babe, I was full staring at it for like 5 minutes and you didn’t even realise so I had to make you eat the ice-cream.”
Isn’t he a sweetheart? Yeah you might think it’s cliche, but hey, at least he made the effort to plan it- to tell his friend what to do, and you know what? All of his friends knew, and they were all playing dumb, asking us “What are you guys doing today?”
Apparently one of his friends even asked me “So when are you going to eat ice-cream?” but I didn’t hear it, so Benjamin was like phewwww.
I think what made me smile the most is that he used my love for waffles to do this. He used something he knew I wouldn’t say no to, so it wouldn’t be suspicious. The fact that even when he wants to do something affectionate, he’d think about me first, really makes me love him even more.
The ring is beautiful. It’s divided into 4 sections- two that crosses over, a small line of diamonds and another base. When I took the photo of it, it was amazing how such a small thing can make a big presence. When Benjamin slid it onto my finger it felt like he gave me his whole heart along with it. The heavy bound of responsibility and security is on that metal ring, which is now on my finger. Every time I look at it, I feel like he’s looking at his one as well- telling me that he’s thinking about me too. The fact that he could give me something so special and promising, really makes me think about our future. People don’t believe in high school love, and I don’t want to say I want to prove you wrong, but, something like this just gives me hope that we will, in the end, be together.
For all you girls who didn’t get a Valentine, don’t worry. To me, I’d much rather get flowers on any other day than Valentines day, don’t you agree? Hopefully you girls know you are special no matter what, or whether you have a boyfriend or not. Everyone deserves to be cherished and loved, so don’t worry, your day will come soon.
It’s just mine has come earlier. (:
