I was surprised by this revelation and admittedly a little pissed off. Completely unreasonable considering I turned him down but still I felt wounded.
"Why did you ask then?" I demanded.
"I thought that was what you wanted" he shrugged again.
I frowned at him, when had we discussed marriage ever? "And why would you buy a ring?" I questioned eyes narrowed, my curiosity getting the better of me because something just didn't add up.
Jacob looked sheepish, "I uh."
"You already had the ring?"
He just stood there opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish. "Geez Jacob what the fuck?" I yelled, "You're proposing to me with a second hand ring?"
"Well technically it's not second hand" he explained, "I never did end up proposing to Lauren."
Lauren was Jacob's ex from our high school days, back when we were friends and sex hadn't complicated things. I knew they had been serious but I didn't think they were that serious, mainly because I had assumed that they were just together as a result of uncontrollable teenage hormones. My reasoning behind that theory was that I just could not fathom why he would want to date her in the first place. Lauren was and still is a bitch, pretty much your stereotypical high school queen bee, popular, a total whore and evil.
I couldn't believe he had bought her a ring! I wondered briefly what possessed him to do such an idiotic thing, furthermore that he had kept it and was now trying to pass it off to me. Seriously this guy had no fucking clue so I decided to tell him just that.
"Jacob here's a handy hint next time you propose to a girl don't propose using a ring that was meant to be for your ex, it's tacky and quite frankly just insulting" my tone dripping with venom.
"So you're turning me down because of the second hand ring?"
I shook my head and laughed, he really was a Neanderthal. "No Jacob I'm turning you down because we're over."
He didn't answer, but I was treated to his gold fish impersonation once again.
"Goodbye and good luck and all that." I closed the front door before he had a chance to say another word.
