ReplyDeleteThe doorbell rang. When I opened the door imagine my surprise, my boyfriend, so handsome just as a role model, with a fuzzy hair and sparkling green eyes , was standing on the door holding a bunch of flowers and a ring, and as soon as a said "Hi, baby love!" he gave me a kiss and said "Honey, it has been two years since we started dating, and now I am pretty sure I want to spend the rest of my like right by your side...Would you marry me?". At this moment, I did not see myself thinking clearly, my world was totally upside down and then I gave my answer, wich obviously was "Yes!". Right after this he involved my finger with that gorgeous ring, then I hugged him and felt very keen and blessed.
ReplyDeleteAs the shock passed I started to get calmer, although the happiness did not go away and I felt like calling my parents so as to tell them the news. Now we have already set the date and made the guests lists, we hope we can throw this amazing party by the next summer.
Well, this is one more step I am taking in order to reach the happines I desire so badly. And here it is my happy ending.
"The doorbell rang. When I opened the door imagine my surprise when I see fabulous red roses in the Vinicius's hands, my collegue of the work. In fact, it was my birthday, but I never could to imagine receive flowers, specially from Vinicius. I was so surprised that I didn't speak any word. The only thing I had it was looking to him, with a really opened eyes, during a long one minute, until he, very embarrassed, said: May I come in? I had two options: close the door and change job on Monday or let him set in my sofa the necessary time to said that I didn't going out with boys who had girlfriends. I choose the second option, but I couldn't pronounce any word of my speech, because he, imediatelly, said: Did you married me? Well, five years, one apartment, and two children after this, you could imagine my answer, but the really thing interesting to me in this history it's how a prince literally rang my doorbell.
ReplyDeleteThe doorbell rang. When I opened the door imagine my surprise...There is a big yellow box in front of my house.
ReplyDeleteI didn't imagine what could have into the box. Its measurement allow to put a small ring or a washer machine.
At the same time I look for someone ou something that helps me to understand what happened but the neibourhood was completely empty.
Only the south wind blew part of trees on my street boarder.
I was very curious and scared with the box than decided to call my wife to help me.
After some minutes, we decided to shake the box and hear the sound producted.
When we started to shake it the sound produced was weak like a cry.
Our curiosity grew and the second step was tored the paper that covered the box.
Finally, the mistery was revealed... a small, beautiful and brown dog in a basket was sleeping into the box.
You don't imagine what happened after this.. but the next story we will tell you another day.
