i've been in a relationship with him for almost a year now, and i still love him like the day i met him, he has beautiful brown hair and light green eyes that i get stuck staring at sometimes and a voice that could sooth the most stingy children.
he plays the guitar and wears suits to our dates and he takes care of himself. mother likes him too, she says he's a great influence on me and shes right.
he's really helped me become the person i am today, anyway thats enough talking off topic, let me tell you about the best day of my life.
summer 1984, shortly after my 16th birthday i invited my boyfriend to come home for dinner with my grandparents. he had met my mums side, but never pa's side so he was abit nervous
i had quite an upsetting morning as i tried at least 10 outfits on and suddenly none of them seemed to look good or fit on me anymore but eventually i found the perfect item, my beautiful grey dress and today was the day for it and once i've done my makeup i hear a knock at the door.
as i rush down the stairs there he is, in his wonderful suit and tie with three bouquets in his hands, one for me, mother, and for grandma. his new stunning acoustic guitar on his back.
oh yeah one thing i forgot to mention, which is important!
his favourite song is "and i love her" by the beatles, he says it reminds him of me, he says it captivates my beauty, anyways back to the story.
"you look nice darling" he greets me with a kiss on both cheeks as normal and does the same to mother. some people find that unacceptable but i just think it's a sign of a respectful gentleman.
it's now been two hours since he arrived, he had given me the flowers which were beautiful and already up in my bedroom with some fresh water. and thats when my grandparents get here.
as i greet them both and show them to their seats for the table, then comes out flynn, with his hair beautifully slicked back.
"hello nice to meet you both" he greets giving grandmother her flowers and grandfather a handshake, as they both engage in conversation for a little while out comes the dinner.
a beautiful seasoned steak with onion rings and chips. cliche i know but thats because we normally eat different meals so this is a one off.
everything is going as planned, father is talking business with flynn and grandad. while me, mother and nan are talking about how i got to know flynn in the first place so i tell them.
i was walking back home after my day at school when suddenly this chap had somewhat ran into me, at first i thought he was a total baffoon, but you know what boys are like they just muck around from time to time, anyhow he helped me pick my stuff up, apologised time and time again and you could tell he meant this apology it was the way his eyes shone at mine, like two artists collaborating on the most beautiful painting ever.
he turns behind him to reach for his guitar, the day slowly coming toward an end so he says "for the last 5 minutes of everyone being here, i'd like perform a song for you. he pulls out his guitar and in that moment i realise how lucky i am to have such a man
his singing was as spectacular as his playing skills which blew everyone away, even i didn't know he could sing quite like that. as the song ends he changes the lyrics from "and i love her" too "and i love you" whilst staring at me.
and that for me, was my best day ever
