Harlow
Ishould’ve known something was up when a race red Ferrari pulled up to
my house. Hendrix has always been flashy, from his material items to his
personality. He commands the spaces he occupies. Hendrix is a man used to
going after, and getting, anything and anyone he wants.
Except me. I’m the girl to tell him, “No.”
My response stuns him, and he asks, “It’s a no then?”
Slowly, he rises from the kneeling position he adopted mere seconds ago to
ask me this life changing question.

“You deserve better than me,” I say as tears sting my eyes. I’m aware
people are staring now. I thought we were in for an intimate night, sitting at a
candle-lit table scattered with rose petals, tucked away at the back of the
restaurant. But there’s nothing intimate about prying eyes focused on us,
watching me refuse my boyfriend’s proposal.
He sits back down in his seat and reaches across the table for my hand.
“You’re my beginning and end, Harlow. All I want is you.”
I can’t bring myself to meet his gaze. Staring into his honey brown eyes
will only make this harder.
He watches me in silence, probably trying to figure out why I would say no
to his proposal. We’ve been together for two years and things were going
great. We’re often the couple people describe as “relationship goals.” But
despite seeming picture perfect, I can’t shake the feeling that this isn’t lasting
love.
“Don’t you ever feel like we’re just settling, Hendrix? As though we’re
together because we’re comfortable, not because we’re in love with one
another?” My eyes still haven’t met his. I didn’t want to have to sift through
this with him tonight. I hadn’t expected him to propose to me. I for damn sure
didn’t expect him to do it in a public place.
Still not letting go of my hand, he asks, “Are you saying you’re no longer in
love with me?”
“I love you, I do, but I can’t say yes to your proposal knowing that I feel
like something is missing from our relationship. I feel like we’re together
because it’s what’s expected of us, and not because we want to be together.
You’re my best friend and…”
He grabs both of my hands and looks into my eyes as if the version of me
he fell in love with will reappear. “We can hold off on the engagement if
that’s what you want but please, please don’t ruin us.”
A tear rolls down my cheek. He gently brushes it away. There’s nothing
wrong with Hendrix; he’s an amazing boyfriend. But we’ve always felt more
like friends than a couple. I’m unsure if he feels it too and doesn’t want to let
go of the comfort, or if he truly is oblivious. Or perhaps, he really is in love
with me, and I never fell for him.
