Definitely A Memorable One

It was a lovely evening. I was standing by the kitchen sink looking outside the window while washing some dishes. I prepared his favorite food and set it all on the table. It is fun to actually put in a lot of effort to prepare dinner for our loved ones. Definitely it was a fun filled one preparing for him because no matter how bad I was at cooking he would praise me. I giggled a little thinking of him when i heard footsteps up the stairs. It has to be him. He has got back home I guess. I bit my lower lip and hid behind the bathroom door to scare him off.

"Baby!! Baby im home!"

I laughed silently and stood silent behind the door waiting to pounce at him. I saw his shadow by the door and i jumped on his back and grabbed him by his neck.

"My goodness baby! You scared me!!"

"That was the whole purpose love".

He lifted me by my waist and swung me around the room and we walked to the balcony. The weather was too beautiful.

"Do you want anything to drink? How was work?"

"No baby I'm good..work was okay..how was your bookstore?"

"Yeah. Everything was so nice. I had a pleasant day".

"Well,mine wasnt as pleasant as yours. So, I thought we can go out for a date or something. It has been long dont you think?"

I smiled at him. His work must be really exhausting. I laid my palm against his rough cheek and felt his pricking beard and looked at him. He smiled at me and whispered, "Are you flirting with me miss?"

I laughed out loud and replied, "I certainly am flirting with you Mr..I have prepared your favorite dinner. We can grab banana split somewhere out there after our meal here maybe?"

"Sounds pretty good to me. Let me shower  and im not taking you just for dessert. We will be doing something exciting today".

I looked at him in amusement. This man I am deeply in love with has never failed to amaze me. I stood there looking at him stepping into our room getting ready for shower. I quickly took a piece of sticky note and wrote: Cannot keep calm because I am about to get really naughty!! XOXO.. and pasted it on the mirror in our room and stepped out happily. He came out of the room smelling fresh of his body wash and his deodorant. He grabbed me by my waist and started tickling me.

"Let me get naughty before you do!" He giggled and continued tickling me. We had a nice dinner and he complimented me for the tasty meal. We headed to the town in his new car. It was a smooth drive accompanied by nice romantic songs. The silence we were sharing was beyond magic. Once in a while i held his hand and leaned on his shoulder. We stopped at a small cafe and had cakes.

Just as I thought we will be heading home he decided to turn the car somewhere else. I could not guess where he was taking me. I looked at him and he gave me a reassuring smile that I am going to love whatever he was about to do. I sat calmly because by all means I know he is very much clear about what he has planned ahead.

After a long drive we reached our destination. It was a beautiful lake. The moonlight was reflecting on the water and I saw few other couples sitting by the lake admiring the breath taking view and a family with two kids playing around that place. I turned around and looked at him smiling as brightly as I could.

"I know baby. I told you that you will like this place. But this is not the fun. I know it was rainy this afternoon and the weather is still damp and cold. But we going to put all that aside, gather some courage and take a dip".

My jaw dropped open. "No way baby! Its too cold I might die in there!"

He gave me that demonic smile and held my wrist strong enough to drag me into the water. As I tried to free myself his grip was growing stronger. I felt the thrill in what we were about to do. I surrendered myself to him and before i realize he grabbed my waist and swing me into the water. I screamed and fell into the lake with a big splash. The water was freezing cold. He was inside the water too. My lips were numb. We were shivering.

We ran back to the car and shared a good laugh. He took towels from the back seat and we dried ourselves. We sat in the car a little while before heading home. "You want to grab a hot drink before home?"

I looked at him and whispered "All I want now is to go back home and cuddle with you on the bed.."

"Okay baby. Im tired. Can you drive?"

"Baby I dont mind driving but I dont have a driver's license".

"It is okay baby. I trust your driving skills". He passed me the car keys and I started the engine. I drove slow and steadily when he asked me to stop near the ATM machine to withdraw some cash. I was sitting in the car while he was out. He hopped into the car and gestured me to continue home. I put in the reverse gear, and looked at the side mirror and before I realize that the sensor of the car was warning me of a big pole behind me i knocked it with a loud "BANGGG!!" sound.
Shit!!! I knocked his car against a steel pole! Crap!!

I quickly hit the break and pulled the handbreak up. I was shivering. It was his new car. He got down and checked and I followed right behind him. I almost fainted looking at the big dent I have created.

"Im so sorry baby! I did not mean to do that.."

"Hey, relax baby. I am not complaining or scolding you right? Accidents happens. You calm down."

The more he was cool about the situation the more I was getting worked up. It was all because of my carelessness. He decided to continue driving home. I was quiet the whole journey home. I was trying my best not to burst out crying when he asked "Are you okay my love?". Thats it! I was crying as if a lollipop was snatched away from a 3 years old girl. He let me cry a little while as he parked the car at the parking lot. He got out of the car and opened the door on my side. He let me out and carried me up to our home. He let me wear his shirt and carried me to the bed.

He cuddled me really softly and whispered "you wanted to cuddle me remember? Dont let the accident spoil one wonderful day. Im expecting you to hug me tighter baby".

I looked into his eyes, drew myself closer to his chest, hugged him really tightly and fell asleep silently.
