I only had a few moments before the event and I wanted to make sure everything is right on point. I couldn't afford any mistakes. I can feel my throat tighten and become stiff; I try to relax myself by taking last minute preparations.
After making sure that things are in check, I set the mood in the living room, dim the lights and the room becomes dark with mystery, light some candles and soon the room fills in with a nice delicate scent of rose petals. The meal I prepared has been carefully placed on the plates with a wine bottle sat on the side. 'This should be perfect' I thought 'I hope I won't mess this up'.
I can hear the doorbell; this sends an electric shock down my spine. I ran to the door, I take the last look in the mirror and then I open the door. I can feel my legs melting at the sight of the person in front of me. His dark eyes strike me, I smile while I feel burning heat inside, we greet each other and I welcome him inside. 'You look stunning' he says while I can't shake off the feeling of losing consciousness, I thank him and return the compliment 'You look fantastic tonight'.
I lead him into the living room and look like he's taken aback but doesn't say anything. We both sit down, I offer to open the wine, and however he takes the bottle away and opens it, then he carefully pours the red liquor into the glass and we proceed to eat our meal.
We have a series of conversations about everything and nothing and I can feel the wine getting into my head as I have a laugh and giggle every now and then. He looks at me, laughs a little and says 'Steady with the wine, girl'. I laugh 'I feel like dancing babe, let's do this'. He gives a surprised look while I shower him with smile. 'Wait girl, where is this confidence coming from?' I hear the voice inside my head; I shrug it off with a laughter however.
I play some music and he offers me his hand. The delicate melody fills the room, combined with the scent of the candle and the wine we had earlier causes me to lose my senses. We come closer, he places his hands on my hips, I put my arms around his neck and we being to sway.
