We were fighting, or rather a mini-argument. We just left the library and I don’t remember what happened exactly, but we weren’t on the best of terms. We awkwardly went back to her house and I dropped her off. But then my mind clicked. I could use this argument to my advantage. I planned the night before to get her a huge white bear from Morning Glory, but I couldn’t find a reason or an excuse not to spend time with her. However, this was an opportune moment.
I pretended that I didn’t want to talk to her. I quickly took the train to the mall and I didn’t get a text from her yet which was a good thing at that point. I knew she was going to take a shower, so I had time to set up the surprise. I quickly ran to the store, and after conversing with the store clerk, I purchased the $200 bear.
The carry the bear back must’ve been the most awkward thing I’ve ever done. Tons of eyes gazed at my direction and it felt like a spotlight was on me the whole time. I pretended to listen to my iPod, but I was overhearing what everyone else said. It ranged from remarks on how cute the bear is to how large it is.
I knocked on her door and thankfully her mom opened the door. I could hear the shower running and I quickly propped the bear in front of the bathroom door. I waited around until she finished and I could hear her say oh my goodness when the door opened.
She quickly went to me and said you have to be joking. Not the best response after the effort of getting her the bear, but she quickly gave me a hug and kiss after it finally sank in. I evaded the questions on the price but I knew she loved it. Any argument we had before was quickly overlooked as we enjoyed the rest of the night together.
