 It was your typical Saturday afternoon, not so sunny yet not so windy it was just right. I was a college student so I never had the chance to catch a break but every Saturday I can actually have peace and relax at the book store and every single time I'm there I see him; the guy that just wanders around looking for books to read and every time I see him he never fails to catch my eye, I can't help but feel attracted to him like somehow, he's going to be a huge part of my life, and today was the day that everything was about to change, I was going to make the first move and ask him out for coffee or maybe even lunch and I know it sounds weird right? The girl making the first move, I usually don't make the first move but with him everything feels so different as if he was going to change my entire life. So I did end up walking over to him we exchanged a few words and caught a glance of the book he was reading "The Great Gatsby" he had excellent taste in literature, he agreed to have lunch with me soon, I couldn't have been more ecstatic that he agreed to go out with me. It was the morning of the day we were going to go out for lunch I couldn't have been more nervous, I couldn't help but think what if he didn't like me? what if he didn't show, I was a mess and I couldn't stop overthinking everything but he showed and after that we instantly clicked, we'd hang out at the bookstore every Saturday afternoon and go out for lunch afterwards every single time, we became best friends and we were inseparable. 4 years passed and we were still the best of friends, I was graduating from college soon, in two weeks exactly and I couldn't be happier to finally relax and start my life. After I graduated we started hanging out everyday instead of just on Saturday's and I couldn't be more thankful for having a best friend like him in my life. 2 more years have passed and it was the day that was about to change my entire life, being best friends with him for nearly 6 years was hard to believe and I definitely didn't expect it to turn out the way it is now, it was my birthday which just so happened to fall on our regular book store Saturday afternoon ritual which ended up being our tradition after our first year of friendship but he wasn't answering my calls MONOLOGUE 1 and he was ignoring all my texts so I just ended up going by myself to check out some books to read and I stumbled upon the book he was reading when we first met "The Great Gatsby" and I smiled to myself thinking "how did I get so lucky?" so out of pure boredom I ended up reading it, in the middle of the book I noticed a diamond ring which was quite odd because you don't really see those in books, but he was there standing behind me asking me to marry him and I did, and I couldn't have been happier with my decision and that is the story of how I met Angelo Buencamino
