On Thursday night, we'd been planning on setting up Luke's cousin with one of our friends. The date was planned and ready to go, until we looked outside and saw the rain...so we improvised. And by improvised I mean we did the typical "Logan, Utah" date. Bowling and ice cream, classic! As I was getting ready for the date, Luke called and asked if I could drive over to his house. WHAT! I was getting so mad at him for wanting me to come get him! I mean, this was a date. Last time I checked, the guy picks up the girl. Anyway, after almost hanging up on him twice, he said in his sweetest voice "Mariana, I never ask you to do big favors, please do this for me..." WHAT. If you know me, you know that the guilt trip will get me EVERY. TIME. So alas, I drove over to his house.
Rewind to:
December 22, 2007
It was a peaceful, snowy night. The moon was full and the flakes were coming down slowly. Luke and I had been planning on exchanging Christmas gifts and my sixteen year-old self was so pumped to give him the blue sweater I got him. I knew he'd been wanting to kiss me but neither of us had ever kissed anyone! Part of my present consisted of a bag of Hershey's kisses...smooth. So I thought, well it's going to happen now or never.
It didn't.
Well, it was getting late and I had to get home so we walked over to my car. Longest walk of my life. Again, I thought, it's DEFINITELY going to happen now or really... never!
He hugged me and walked back to his house.
Just like that I got in my car and started to warm it up. Suddenly I see something move out of the corner of my eye and saw Luke running back towards me. I was already buckled in and thought he'd just forgotten to tell me something, so I barely opened the door when he came in and gave me my first kiss.
Fast forward to:
Thursday. After the date we went back to his house and hung out for a little while. As we were talking he got up and told me that he needed to charge his phone. It was 10:30 PM, guys. Who on Earth is going to call him this late?? If you know him, you know that he could care less about his phone running out of battery. Especially when he's with me. I thought this was odd but brushed it off. When he came back, he sat on the other side of me and told me that we better get me home, haha. As we were making that same walk we did 6 years ago, I noticed that he was breathing heavily. Finally, we got to my car and he hugged me good night. His heart was beating so fast!! I got into my car and he went inside.
You probably know what's going to happen next, right?
Two nights ago, instead of a kiss, he gave me a pretty ring and asked me to marry him! And just like that, we'll be together forever.
P.s. There were some kisses I suppose... ;)
