It was a cold, windy day on November 18, 2023. It was lunch time, so Christopher planned a romantic date for the two of us at a restaurant called Thai Orchid located in Southbridge, Massachusetts. We sat down to have some very delicious Thai food. I remember Christopher having a hard time eating, he was bright red in the face. I asked him if he felt sick, and he just said "no, everything is fine". I just don't really like the salmon dinner at all. I said, "Oh, have some of my food". I gave him some chicken wings and spring rolls. After dinner, he paid. And then he bought me an iced tea to take with me on the way. I placed the iced tea in my backpack, we started walking towards the police department. Christopher said, Look, Kiki, they have all the Christmas stuff up; it's so beautiful; they even have lights. I then got very distracted with a cute little elf display, and I told Christopher that I was going to name him Elffie. Chris.. Christopher... Then, as soon as I turned around, Christopher was down on one knee. He explained how much I meant to him and how he really wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He then presented me with a beautiful silver-blue ring. I started crying, and I said, You got me real good. Omg, of course I would marry you; the answer is yes. We then kissed and headed back home holding hands.

Christopher and I were childhood best friends with a hidden dark secret. We were crazy about each other. But my brother, being overly protective, refused to let any of his friends date his sister. Christopher at the time said "That would never happen. " without even realizing that I was his best friend's sister. One day during our school's 1 to 1 tutoring event, my brother and Christopher walked up to me to say hi. He knew at that point he had to keep his feelings for me a secret. I too felt the same way, I was so worried about how my brother might react if he found out how much I desired to be with Christopher. (Keep in mind neither of us knew how we felt about each other.) We decided to continue hiding our true feelings from each other. Honestly it was so difficult to hide our chemistry was just too noticeable. Me and Chris would just click and people would always ask why we were not together. Yet our response stayed the same. we would always say "We were just friends and that will never happen". Until my dad's BBQ party in 2016. I slipped up with emotion and told Christopher "You are perfect and I wish we could be together. "Christopher looked at me confused but blushed, and said, "What?" And I feeling embarrassed said "Nothing I hope you're enjoying the party." then 1 year passed down the line, and Christopher said the same thing to me in 2017 when I was packing a picnic basket for my brother's birthday. I then realized at that point that Christopher had to have feelings for me because he remembered exactly what I said to him. I was just head over heals for him I could not take it anymore, I had to just take charge and tell him. so on August 14, 2017, I got tired and told my brother how I felt about Christopher. I cried so much on his shoulders, and my brother told me, "Okay, you can ask him out", so after the our summer school program we walked to Christopher's house to tell him, but I never got the chance to because we found out he was just starting a relationship and was very happy. It was truly unfortunate and I was secretly devastated because I just wanted to tell him so badly how I felt and how I truly wanted to be with him, but since he was happy, I just stood quiet, and faked a smile. My brother felt sad for me. once we said our goodbyes we headed home. I told my brother to never ever tell him why we came over. It was now January 2023. Christopher and I were both officially single again. We both were not looking for any kind of relationship But once we were alone and spoke about everything, our feelings just took over, and we said, You know what? Why not? Let's try it... So we went out on our first official date on January 11, 2023. With my brother's full approval, he said that if we loved each other, we should have just gone out together from the beginning, and we all laughed and said, Oh, really we know now you ASS, haha and the rest is history.
