💍 Mike Was About to Propose to Amber—And Sunny Got in the Way
Mike was about to propose Amber and Sunny got in the way
A Love Confession Interrupted That Changed Everything
🌅 Setting the Stage: Love Brewing in the Shadows
Mike had been planning this day for weeks.
The ring was tucked inside a velvet box in his coat pocket. The table was reserved at the rooftop restaurant overlooking the skyline. The candles were lit. The playlist was perfectly curated—ending with Amber’s favorite love song. For once, Mike was nervous. He wasn’t a man of many words, but when it came to Amber, his feelings ran deeper than he ever let on.
Amber had been through a lot—between Anthony, Shayla, and the emotional chaos of the past year. But in Mike, she had found calm. A friend first, a confidant second, and slowly, maybe even someone she could love.
Mike was ready to take that leap.
🛎 The Perfect Moment Approaches
It was just past 7:45 PM. The sky was streaked with orange and pink as the sun dipped behind the cityscape. Mike and Amber had finished dinner, and he signaled the waiter for dessert. But it wasn’t dessert that was coming—it was the ring.
Amber was glowing. She had no idea.
Mike slowly pulled the box from his jacket and took a deep breath.
“Amber, I—”
Just then, the elevator doors flung open behind them. And in walked Sunny.
😳 Sunny’s Sudden Entrance: A Storm in Heels
Sunny wasn’t just anyone. She had a complicated past with both Mike and Amber. She and Mike had a brief entanglement before he got close to Amber, and Sunny had always carried a chip on her shoulder when it came to losing attention—especially to Amber.
She strutted toward their table in heels that echoed on the marble floor like war drums. Heads turned. Amber’s smile faded. Mike’s heart dropped.
“Mike, can we talk? Alone,” Sunny said sharply, completely ignoring Amber.
Amber blinked in disbelief.
“Sunny, what are you doing here?” she asked, trying to keep her composure.
“Saving you from making a mistake,” Sunny replied, eyes fixed on Mike.
🫢 The Bombshell: Sunny Drops a Truth No One Expected
Mike stood up, half-angry, half-panicked.
“Sunny, not now. Please—”
But Sunny didn’t care. She had one goal: stop the proposal.
“Before you give her that ring, maybe you should tell her what happened between us in March.”
Amber froze.
Mike’s face turned pale.
“What is she talking about, Mike?” Amber asked quietly.
Sunny smirked, knowing she had control now.
“Oh, he didn’t tell you? We were together. It was brief. But it happened. And it was after you started getting close.”
💔 Amber’s Reaction: Torn Between Love and Betrayal
The air became thick with silence. Amber looked at Mike, searching his eyes for a denial, an explanation—anything.
“Amber, I swear. It was a mistake. It meant nothing. It was before I knew how I really felt about you.”
Amber’s hands were shaking. She stood up and whispered:
“You were going to propose to me… while hiding this?”
Mike stepped toward her.
“I was scared you wouldn’t give me a chance if you knew. But I love you, Amber.”
Sunny scoffed.
“He said that to me too.”
That was the last straw.
🚪 The Exit: Amber Walks Away
Amber picked up her purse slowly, tears brimming but not yet falling.
“You should’ve been honest.”
She walked past both of them without looking back.
Mike didn’t chase her. He just stood there—frozen—with a ring in his hand and a life he had just destroyed in the other.
Sunny, realizing she had won—but lost the war—turned and walked away too, her satisfaction fading into regret.
🕰 Aftermath: What Comes Next?
For Mike:
He stayed on that rooftop alone for another hour. The dessert melted. The candles burned out. He never opened the box again.
For Amber:
She went straight to Cocoa’s place, needing a friend. She didn’t cry—not yet. She just sat quietly, thinking about what could have been.
For Sunny:
That night, she realized that destroying Amber’s moment didn’t bring her the closure she thought it would. It only confirmed her place on the outside.
🧠 Final Thought: A Moment That Changed Three Lives
In just five minutes, a beautiful proposal turned into a collision of secrets, jealousy, and heartbreak. And as the night fell over the city, three hearts sat quietly under different roofs—each wondering what might’ve been.
