A well-thought promposal
So sorry I havenât been posting anything in over a year. I took a break partially because Tumblr was taking up too much storage on my phone, and partially because I felt like I was forcing some of my posts. So much has changed since last year so I was hoping to slowly start sharing some of it. _______________ After a long week of pre-season sport practices, we planned to hang out together on Saturday. It was the first time weâd be alone in over a week, and we were dying to spend time with each other. During the week, we were limited to invites to family dinners and a 9:00 curfew.âšEarlier this Saturday we had taken the SATs, and you had complained of a headache, so I dropped you off after lunch and you tried to sleep it off before I came over your house again. By 6:00 you had not woken up and you texted me in a panic saying that you were sorry you slept so late, and that I should come over at 6:30. I was fine with it because I knew Iâd have you all to myself that night anyway, what was another half an hour?âšWhen I parked my car and walked into your house, you were kneeling in front of your TV. (Side note: You recently renovated your house, and some of the new improvements included speakers in most of the rooms in the house. They were controlled by a sound box under your television, and by connecting to Bluetooth, music could be streamed throughout the house) I sat down on the couch and talked to you about the rest of the day. I mustâve complained about something because you thought it would be funny to play the tiny violins from Spongebob. You turned up your volume and played it on the speaker behind the couch so it was obnoxiously loud.âšI pulled my sweatshirt over my head so I couldnât look at you and pretended to be annoyed. You thought you were the funniest person ever. After listening to another sad violin song, you decided to change the music. The beginning piano chords could be heard throughout the room. âYou are the one girl, and you know that itâs trueâŠâ âšEd Sheeranâs newest piano ballad âHow Would You Feelâ started playing, and I peeked my head out of my sweatshirt. You laughed and said something along the lines of âOh now youâre interested in the music.â âšI rolled my eyes and crawled across the ottoman so I was sitting in front of you. I wrapped my arms around your neck and whispered the lyrics along with the song as I leaned in for a kiss. I continued to sing along between kisses, and you wrapped your arms around me. The song kept playing even as I stopped singing along. By this point I was standing, and you had started to walk me in the direction of the basement, never breaking the kiss.âšI finally stepped back and looked at you and laughed while saying, âI donât think kissing and walking downstairs is a good idea.ââšTo my surprise, you shrugged and said, âOkay, then I guess Iâll have to carry you.â You swept me up in your arms bridal style, and I had to put my hands across your neck to keep from falling. I hugged your neck tight as you started your descent.âšMy back was to the rest of the room, so as you walked down the stairs, all I saw was a newly painted wall (the basement was also included in the home renovations). When we reached the landing, I realized the music was also being streamed to the basement, and the Ed Sheeran song was still playing. My eyes were drawn to the couch where there were three glittery posters shining back at me.âšI walked closer to the couch to get a better look and felt my breathing stop as I took it all in. The first sign, which was orange to match Edâs album Plus, read âIâve been thinking since grade 8 that U.N.I. should go to prom together. Wake me up if this is a dream and kiss me if you say YES.â The next poster had my favorite picture of us from homecoming and was green for Edâs second album, Multiply. It read, âI looked at this photograph and realized Iâm a mess without you. So please donât say NO if I ask you to prom. But hey, Iâm just thinking out loud.â At this point, you had walked up behind me and wrapped your arms around my middle. You were resting your chin on my shoulder as I turned my attention to the last sign.âšThis sign was blue for Edâs latest album, Divide. Having driven around with me often, you knew that I was in love with his newest songs. This poster continued the trend and read, âWhat do I know, but you make me a new man and I am happier with you. So how would you feel if I asked you to PROM? Itâs just something that I want to do.â After reading this, I turned around and faced you. I beamed, âOf course I say yes!ââšI raised myself on my tip-toes (because I can never catch a break) and kissed you. I had to stop kissing you because I was smiling so much. We kept on kissing even after the song ended and another Ed Sheeran song took its place.âšEventually I turned and looked and you and asked âDid you come up with that all by yourself?â âšYou sheepishly said âWell my sister helped with the glitter and the signs because I have bad handwritingâŠââšI kissed you on the cheek. âItâs perfect, and I love it because I can see you put in a lot of effort.ââšHe beamed and kissed me in response.
