It was a cold and misty night as the gentle raindrops tickle down the Taipei 101 tower. The buzz of tourists and audio guide echoes softly on the 89th floor observatory. The pair had finished their round of exploring of the many portraits of the tower's structure, it was getting too misty to try to view the area from the windows.
So she suggested that they use the beer float coupon, curious how vanilla ice cream would taste in beer. Settling down on a bench in a quiet dim corner of the observatory to rest their tired feet while enjoying their drink, he suddenly sets his beer down on the bench and asks,
Ryan : Do you know how much I love you?
Jo : Why don't you just tell me? And please don't put your drink there, you're going to knock it over.
Ryan : It'll be fine. Don't worry so much.
Jo : Whatever you say....
Ryan : I love you more than beer.
Jo : Wow....what a great thing you picked to compare *sarcastic*
Ryan : *laughs nervously* Why don't you put down your beer for a moment.
Jo : No, I don't want to spill it, the bench has too many gaps.
It was then she sensed that something was not right. He never puts his beer down unless he needs his hands, he keep checking his jacket pocket thinking she didn't notice. She panics a little trying not to assume what he is trying to do and quickly finishes her drink.
He started to behave more nervously and sticking his hand into in jacket pocket as he inches further to the edge of the bench.
Ryan : Jo, you're my fling.
Jo : What?? Fling?? *looks at him all confused*
Ryan : *gets all serious*
It has been a wonderful 5 year fling,
Now, with this diamond ring,
Would you be my everything,
And make me your king?
He kneels on one knee and presents a little golden box with a ring comfortably sitting there waiting to be picked up. She panics again and asks him to get up before anyone sees him.
Thoughts race through her head at turbo speed but concludes to nothing, she knows that she wants no one else but him and has been waiting for him to do this before they turn 30. And dreaming and hoping he wouldn't do something that draws public attention. She started feeling even more nervous but extremely happy, shy and close to tears for a brief moment and she answers.
Jo : Okay.
Ryan : So does the ring go on the left or right ring finger?
Jo : Left........
Ryan : Phew! I thought you would never put that drink down!
He gets up and sits a little closer to her, knocking down his beer float and spilling it all over the bench and carpet.
Jo : OMG I told you that you're going to accidentally knock it over! Now there's ice cream on the bench!
Ryan : OMG OMG OMG!
Jo : Quickly! Help me wipe it up!
They managed to wipe clean the spill on the bench while looking around hoping no one saw the silly incident.
Ryan : Quick! Lets run away! Nothing happened here!
Jo : Runaway~~~~~~ *giggles*
And off they go disappearing into another section of the observatory, newly engaged.
