The sapphire ring Hayley had was fine but didn't really look like an engagement ring, not as I understood them, and it was possible that people might be able to see through it. As insurance against this, I wanted to buy her another, more traditional ring, so it really looked like we were engaged.
One of the seemingly age-old traditions about rings was that they were supposed to cost three months' salary. No matter how fancy, it seemed unlikely that most commercial sellers would carry anything worth $2 million.
Adjusting my ideas accordingly, I set a much lower goal price and end up with three strong contenders. In the end, I decide on one with a pure white gold setting and three different species of stone, a traditional white diamond, an emerald, and a ruby. It is just ostentatious enough to pass without crossing the line into being crass or tacky.
I debated about how to best give it to Hayley and then was struck by a sudden attack of awareness. This was all supposed to be fake. I didn't want to give her false hope. She really was sweet, not to mention super sexy, and I really enjoyed her company, but I wasn't sure I was ready to commit. Not like that anyway. Not even to her.
I had already bought the ring, and it didn't make sense not to at least show it to her so she could decide if she wanted to wear it. Hayley was an equal partner in the plan and should also have a say. Much like with broaching the subject of the fake engagement, I decided that the direct approach was best.
Her street really wasn't built for a vehicle as big as my Hummer, though I still managed to find a parking spot anyway. As I had every morning for the past week. I didn't know quite how I had got the idea to pick her up and drive her to work but was glad that I did as I got to see Hayley almost every day, at least for a while, and it gave us the time we needed to get to know each other. We may not be together, either as fiancés or in any other romantic way. Though we were becoming friends.
Using my cane to its maximum potential, I made my way up the stairs in good time. The closer I got, the faster I went. I really wanted to see Hayley. The more I thought about seeing her, the happier I got. I had to hold myself back to keep from taking the door off the hinges with the knock, my excitement getting to such critical levels.
“Oh, hey,” Hayley said as she opened the door and was framed in the doorway by the morning sun.
She had changed her hair. It made her look even more beautiful than usual. My gaze wandered down to her chest. Her cleavage, generously visible by the lay of the silk robe that she was wearing, which left little to the imagination.
