A Tiffany Ring, From Friend To Lovers
Last week I had an unforgettable trip with an intimate friend to an amusement park. We had fun in almost all the items in the park but the most impressive one in my opinion was the 4-d film. It was a treasure story: with the mysterious music sounding, there appeared the magnificent world of deep bottom of the sea. I could feel the flow of the seawater, and the movement of uncountable small fishes and other sea creatures. After that there were suddenly a great amount of treasures poured upon us: rings, necklaces, and diamonds, nearly all of us could not help standing up toward them. When a ring reached my face I suddenly heard the shout of my friend: “I will get it for you Abigail! It is a Tiffany! Would you let me put it on your finger?”
I didn’t quite catch his word at that time but later thinking back, I was suddenly startled. Certainly we could not really catch any of the treasures, but the words of my friend stuck in my mind. Oh, what a romantic thing it would be if someone really sent me a Tiffany ring! But I immediately said to myself: what are you thinking about? He is just a good friend, a friend who can play with you and accompany you through any difficulties. But that’s all. And I laughed a little silently, letting the idea passing.
We had lunch together that day in an expensive restaurant in the amusement park. Yes, things are always expensive in tourist spots, but I didn’t want to appear too stingy before my friend now that he suggested it. I ordered a plate of boiled rice and went to the counter. But the moment I reached out my hand with money, it was pressed down. Turning around I found my friend smiling. “Let me treat you to the meal.”
While eating he said all of a sudden: “Do you remember the Tiffany ring in the film?” “Sure. It was wonderful.” “You want one in real?” “Haha, will you buy one for me?” “Well Abigail, I don’t have the money now but I can do that maybe later.” “Oh? You are joking again, right Harley?” “No, I am serious this time. Well I am gonna be direct. Abigail, I like you, would you be my girlfriend? I cannot afford a Tiffany by now but I will work hard to earn it.”
And I was so moved. “Sure, you have always been a good friend and I believe that you can also be a good boyfriend. Take me!”
From that day on we were lovers.
