You and only you

Chapter 6

One month later..

I want to make sure everything is perfect. Veronica went to the store to get stuff for dinner so I decided that this would be the perfect time to set everything up. I put up candles everywhere, I put a rose on the table, and play some soft music. Perfect! She is going to love this.

It's not long after I set everything up that she came home. It's time Dan, time to move on. I hear her coming up the hall. I sit down in the chair and wait for her. When she walks in, she first takes a look around the room, then smiles. "What is all of this?"

I walk over and take the bags and set them down. I take her hand and bring her over to the table. "Veronica, there is something I have been wanting to tell you since the day I met you." Ok good start.

" You have helped me through this whole thing with Phil, which I am so grateful for, you showed me what it means to be a good friend. You have supported me and comforted me when I was down. I've been feeling like this for a while and I thought now would me as good as ever to tell you that, I...I...I think I'm in love with you."
She looks at me with a blank expression. Shit. She doesn't feel the same way.

I look at her waiting for an answer. She starts to cry, "Oh Dan... I think I'm in love with you too! You don't know how long I have felt like that!" I couldn't believe this. She felt the same way I did! I leap out of my seat and pick her up.

I embrace her with all of my strength. She wraps her arms around my neck. I whisper in her ear, "I love you so much." I set her down and she stares up at me. Soon we are locked in each other's glares. I bend down and kiss her long on the lips and she doesn't resist. Finally! YES DAN YOU DID IT!!!

I kiss her for a long time. Right now I don't have a care in the world. I have forgotten about Phil.

All I need to worry about is keeping her. She finally pulls away and looks up at me with those big beautiful blue eyes. I pull her in to a hug. I finally found what I have been needing this entire time. Veronica was my savor.
