Fortune Cookie Proposal…

I took my soon to be fiance out for Chinese buffet.  It was just a normal night out, but I remember, I was really nervous.  She kept asking what was wrong with me and why I was acting so strangely.  I had to lie and tell her I was feeling a little sick, so she asked me if I wanted to skip dinner and just go home.  I told her that I thought it would pass, and that I’d be fine.  We got to the Chinese buffet, and I had to force myself to eat, just so she wouldn’t think anything was wrong, even though I wasn’t very hungry.  At some point I excused myself to go to the bathroom.  While I was up I got the attention of the waiter and pulled him aside for a second.

Later when we were done eating the waiter came with the bill and the fortune cookies.  I handed my girlfriend one of the fortune cookies, but she politely declined.  At this point I was freaking out, because I had slipped the waiter a specially designed fortune cookie with the engagement proposal inside.  Luckily I kept my wits, and went ahead and opened my own cookie (I had given the waiter two cookies with engagement proposals, because I knew he would bring cookies for both of us, and I didn’t want to confuse which cookie was for who).  I nonchalantly looked at the fortune, and said oops, looks like I got your fortune and handed the fortune to my girlfriend to see.  She was speechless, but later she told me that she thought it was really cute.
