The Story of Mat and Roz: How Mat Proposed

I was having a really crappy day one Thursday because it was like my 3rd day at my new job, and some stuff was just not good that day. Anyway, I came home pretty upset and was talking to Mat about it and he was trying to make me feel better.

Mat: what would make you feel better? Would you like to get some Gelato?

Roz: No

Mat: Do you want to grab a pizza for dinner tonight?

Roz: No

Mat: well, there must be something I can do to make you feel better

Roz: No, nothing (note: typical Roz would usually say something to the effect of being engaged, or getting a ring or the like, but I didn’t want to feel any worse than I already did by being disappointed, so I just kept saying “no, nothing”)

Mat: oh, c’mon, there must be something…

Roz: No, Mat, actually I would just like to be left alone…ok??

Mat: c’mon, there must be something. If I were a genie and you had one wish, what would it be?

Roz: (getting annoyed) look Mat, you already know what I would say, but I’m in a shitty mood and I don’t want to be even more upset, ok? So I really don’t want to play this game right now…ok?!

Mat: c’mon, just one wish….

Roz: FINE! You know what I want??? I wish we were engaged, OK?? (now quite mad)

Mat: oh, ok…(goes to bedroom)

Mat: (comes back with a small box)

Roz: what is that??! You better not be teasing me, because that’s NOT funny.

Mat: (gets down on one knee…) Roz, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I’ve had this for a few weeks now, but there’s been so much going on lately with your family and you traveling, there was never the right time to give this to you, but I think now is a perfect time because I want you to know that whatever we go through, it’s always going to be ok, because we’ll have each other.

Roz: *sob* *sob*, is this for real???? Is this really happening??? Serious??? *laughs* (probably delirious right about now), ohmygod…*laughs* *sobs* YAY :D

So that’s it…very casual kind of like us…Mat mentioned that he thought of planning a getaway, but knew I would be suspicious and didn’t want me to know when he was going to do it so I guess it worked…I certainly didn’t wake up that day thinking I would get engaged...
