Mercedes didn't think twice about taking the little box Randy handed her, out of his hands, because truth be told, her mind was elsewhere at the moment, trying to figure out what movie they should watch, before they headed to bed for that night. Needless to say, as soon as she glanced down, and saw just what kind of box was actually in her hands, her curiosity level rose just a tad but, because she didn't want to jump to conclusions, and get her hopes up, for what could simply be a pair of earrings, or something. "Babe, did you get me those diamond earrings I was looking at online the other night? See, I knew you weren't sleeping, and you were actually paying attention to what I was talking about....." As she was saying those words, Mercedes took it upon herself to just go ahead and open the little black box in her hand, and it was like time stood still, and she got that funny feeling in the back of her head, like when she hit her head too hard in the ring, and it felt like she was going to pass out for a second, and everything around her felt foggy, because it definitely wasn't a pair of earrings in the box, but the most beautiful, and gigantic, diamond ring, she'd ever laid eyes on, and she suddenly found herself staring back and her boyfriend, with her classic shocked expression, written all over her face. "Uh, Randy, what.......what is this?"
