One Day In Your Life

Thanks Mum

~ Five Hours Later~

I woke up by someone who touched my shoulder, slightly shaking me.
"Ms.?", a voice said.
"Time to wake up Ms.", the stewardess said smiling at my tired self.
"Our plane will arrive at the United States in a couple of minutes", she added and walked off.
I yawned and strechted myself as I rubbed my eyes, horrible if you can't sleep out, I thought and looked out of the window.

I looked at my watch, six in the evening, as I got off the plane.
As I saw Michael standing at the exit of the building waiting for me, I waved smiling as I ran towards him.
Immediately I dropped my bag and suitcase and fell straight into his arms.
"Welcome back", he cheered squeezing me tight.
I inhale his scent one more time as I tried to answer. But I didn't knew what to say.
I pulled back and stared deep into his chocolate brown eyes, "It's beautiful to see you again", I burst out grinning like an idiot.
"So, how was your flight?", he asked grabbing my suitcase.
"Hey you don't have to carry it, I'm strong enough myself", I smiled and replied, "Uhm good, the flight was good, only a bit too long, thanks for asking".

He casually walked away ignoring my words, "Michael?".
"Mhm", he mumbled turning his head to look at me.
"I don't want you to carry my stuff", I said.
"Keep your sweet mouth shut Diane", he interrupt me smiling.
"You'll get enough time later to protest... at least if you're still able to", he leaned in whispereing in my ear.
I felt my cheeks turn shades of red. Oh dear.
His naughty grin told me what's on his mind, I tried to play cool but failed terrible.

"So uhm, how long do you wanna stay with me?", he asked dropping my suitcase in the cargo bay.
If I could than my entire life, I thought.
"About one week", I smiled releasing the bag off my shoulders while I clumsily got into  the passenger seat.
"I'm so exited, at least I have one week to show you around", his eyes sparkled as he shut the door and turned on the engine.
Everything felt so unreal. Just like a dream but it was none. How can someone like me have that much luck?.
I wonder how long it will takes until the opposite happens.

"Diane?", giggles snapped me out of my dreams.
"What?", I groaned lifting up my eyelids.
"We're here sleepy head", Michael looked at me smiling.
I sighed, "Oh come on".
"Do you want me to drag you out of this car?", he asked chuckling.
"I'm too heavy, I'm afraid you have to leave me here", I put on a fake worried expression as I looked at him, until I couldn't take it anymore and burst out into laughing.
"Just joking", I replied, "I'm on my way".

I grabbed my bag and got off his car, he took my suitcase and locked the car.
"Michael?", I asked surprised as we walked towards his house.
"Yes?".
"Was that waterfall fontain there before... I just can't remember".
"No", he giggled, "It's new, do you like it?".
"Of course, it's really nice".

I sighed in relief as I let myself fell onto the couch. Finally.
"I'm exhaused, oh boy", I moaned resting my head in my hands.
"Yeah I know what you mean", Michael answered dropping my suitcase.
"Wanna get something  to drink?".
"Please", I looked at him.
He walked off smiling disappearing into the kitchen.

I started rumaging in my bag for the shower gel and a toothpaste following by my black jogging pants and a dark grey tank top as my hand hit the box my mum gave me, I decided to open it before getting in the shower.
As I stripped the ribbon off, the top opened and the royal blue dress with matching shoes popped out.
On it laid a letter.
Dear Diane,
How I said, see it as your early birthday present.
It looked gorgeous on you, use it with care!
Love Mum

"Here you are", he said handing me a glass of water, "Hey what's this?".
"Thanks, uhm I'm gonna show you later", I smiled putting the glass on the table, "I'm gonna take a shower". My mum is insane, I thought.
Michael nodded and I walked off into the bathroom.

It was a great feeling after such a day to take a hot shower, relaxing my body.
As I dried myself and wrapped a towel around my wet hair I heard plates rattle.
Michael is preparing dinner, awesome. I'm starving.

I put my hair in a loose ponytail with some straines hanging out and stepped into the dress following by the shoes as I switched off the light.
I walked into a darkness covered room, "Michael?", I whispered confused of what might happen.
"Where are you?".
"I'm here", I heared his voice from the kitchen.

A little candle lit up in the middle of a food covered table. I found Michael standing beside it with his hand in his pocket.
I smiled, "Wow", was all I could say.
I looked at him.
He changed and was now wearing a light blue pullover and some loose jeans with his loafers.
Ordinary but yet so extraordinary at the same time. I loved it.
"Diane", he breathed, "You look stunning", he glared at me.
"Thank you, you too", I chuckled taking a seat.
He walked over to the oven carring a baking sheet with meat loaf. I licked my lips in exitement.
"Would you like wine to it?", he asked polite grabbing the bottle.
"Yes".

"Mmm, that taste very delicous", I smiled taking another bite.
"You made it yourself, didn't you?".
"Yes, I did. One of those few things I can cook", he chuckled.
"Be proud of yourself Michael, that's awesome", I added.
We enjoyed our dinner until late evening.

"You know", Michael started looking at me arching a brow, "This dress is beyond beautiful".
"Yeah, my mum surprised me with it, actually it was way too expensive", I sighed.
"But you know how mother's can be sometimes".
He bite his lip "True, but she got good taste", he smiled as I felt my hand touched by his.
"I also have a surpise for you Diane", he added smiling I saw his expression got tense.
"But I have nothing for you", I said feeling dump.
"Your beautiful self in this dress is enough for me", he said cutting me off as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Please close your eyes", I heard him whisper from behind, and so I did.
