Deep in slumber, she slept on the morn of Valentines Day. Sure, it was Valentines Day and yes; she had a sweet boyfriend who was planning something. But she stayed curled up in bed and dreamt.
“Wake up”, chimed her roommate around 8:30am. Rubbing her eyes, she wondered why her roommate was awakening her. As her eyes were focusing, she noticed the smell of pancakes. In the arms of her roommate was a platter full of her favorite things. Tears filled her eyes. A deep red rose lay next to the orange juice attempting to capture all of her attention. She did not fail to notice, however, that this platter was full of all of her favorite breakfast treats; there were pancakes with peanut butter, scrambled eggs with caramelized onions and orange juice with lots of pulp. What a way to wake up! Every girl who walked by her door peeked in to see what all of the hubbub had been about and squealed upon hearing the special treat her boyfriend had surprised her with. She stuffed herself and then prepared to go trudge through the rest of Valentines Day with a smile on her face.
She told her boyfriend that her breakfast was yummy and thanked him, but he stopped her and told her that there was more to come. What more could a girl ask for?
After her classes she wandered back to her dorm and worked on her homework. She knew she would be going somewhere for dinner, but where? Around 5, he walked in and said, “let’s go”. His voice is her favorite sound ever. She melted at the sight of him and couldn’t get ready fast enough! What was he planning! Where were they going? They got in the car and drove off. She loves being in his car. It’s the best place to be. She feels a warm feeling of safeness when she is with him; that she can trust him with anything.
As they pull up, she found out that they were going to a Thai restaurant! He had gone far and beyond what she had expected. She could have hugged him all night, she was so happy. They ate. The food melted in her mouth. Every bite was even more delicious than the previous one. She thanked him for breakfast and dinner with a hug, unstoppable smile on her face. He only smiled and said, “there’s more”. How could there be more? She was being treated like a princess. It was all too much! They hopped in the car and drove off. Finally she figured out that they were headed to a spot to overlook the city; a place they had been a few times before. She smiled and held his hand the whole way there.
They drove up to their spot and sat and looked over the city. It wasn’t too foggy, so they were able to see most of the lights. They flickered and sparkled. He hopped out of the car and she began to wonder. The trunk opened and shut. He crawled back into the car carrying a box of chocolates and a rose. More! She was in over her head. Her face hurt from smiling. He explained that he had tried to dye the rose black because black was her favorite color, but it had failed. It was, however, a beautiful white rose with dark spots. Unique. Special. She loved it.
She loved the day, she loved the food, she loved the drives that took them to their destinations and she could have sworn she loved him. He was a special guy who treated her with compassion and kindness. She was blessed beyond words and happier than she had ever been.
