I was in love with my best friend for a long time, but something was always in the way, be it my SO or his. We had dated once, but it didn’t end very well.
I was going to a party with a mutual friend of ours, and he told me that my best friend was going to propose to this girl I couldn’t stand that night. He told me where he was going to propose, so I rushed there to stop him—to proclaim my love for him, you know how it goes. My heart was racing the entire way, convinced I was about to change everything.
When I got there, I saw that he had everything set up: candles, rose petals, the NYC skyline—everything that would make a girl melt. I picked up a piece of paper he had placed on the ground, read it, and when I looked up, he was down on one knee, proposing to ME. I froze completely, unable to process what was happening.
