Things That Make You Go Hmmm...
"Jennifer, I will marry you."
That's exactly what he said. We were sitting on the front lawn of my 12-college-roommates-in-a-house-we-collectively-rented-and-shared under the large willow tree and that's what he said.
Just. Like. That.
But you have to know, I hardly knew this guy. Thus it is safe to make the assumption that he really didn't know me.
We had never kissed.
We had never held hands.
We actually had never even been on a date.

I'll be honest here and say it straight out. I didn't even like him. And? And I had a boyfriend.
Yet, here he was--this twitterpated boy--on my front lawn proposing. Or not proposing actually, but dictating. And declaring his love....
Tune in next time for more in the soapy story I have always wanted to share. Yeah, there will be more to say about this. I promise.

Oh, you wicked WICKED little tease! :-D I'm so excited for this story. Such a short intro, and yet already so deliciously soapy!

ReplyDeleteOK I guess I've done that to you before . . . taste of my own medicine I suppose!
Great SOS and thanks for hosting!!
Perfectly tantalizing... I'll be back for more!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a tease! Can't wait for me. Happy Hosting This SOS!
ReplyDeleteI meant to write "Can't wait for more."
ReplyDeleteInstead I wrote, "Can't wait for me."
That's got to be some kind of Freudian slip. Or maybe I'm just really bad at putting my thoughts into words that make sense.
Or I'm a bad typer.
Or I shouldn't type and talk at the same time.
I so want more!!!!!
ReplyDelete~Becki
More! More! More!

Wow. You said so much in so few words. Now I'm all intrigued...

This was my first Soap Opera Sunday and I have definitely been having fun reading everyone's entries. Great story! I can't wait to see how it ends.
