The boys had been bothering him for a long time about it, including Marilyn. He was nervous when he asked, but her reaction at first did spook him. “Uh yeah – see the ring?” Please say yes so I don’t feel like an idiot. Angelo’s face lit up in excitement from her answer, standing up straight again and pulling Imelda close. “I love you, Mel – I love you so much.” Not gonna lie, he had a couple tears in his eyes.
Imelda figured that she would marry Angelo someday -- maybe when they were older and had grown up a bit more. She definitely wasn’t complaining that he decided to propose to her now. It made her heart feel as though it was going to burst out of her ribcage, which she doubted she could stop it from how fast her heart was going. As he pulled her close, the girl quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and kept herself pressed tightly against him. “I love you too Ang -- oh my god, I love you so much.” She mumbled softly before she practically buried her face against her arm and the crook of his neck.
