I looked upwards towards the watery setting sun. It casted a glowing hue of Orange red on the rippling water in the tinkling fountain. Water playfully trickled this way and that in the fountain, making the reflections of the sun and me become oddly distorted. A breeze played with my stands of auburn hair. I swept them away from my face and tucked them behind my ear. I glanced around my surroundings. I told him to be here at 6 o'clock. It was already 10 minutes after 6. Sighing, I sat down on the marble surface of the edge of the fountain. A few birds fluttered to the ground near the benches nearby. I stared back into the violently orange sky, tears threatening to fall from my eyes. I guess he is not going to come. I squeezed my eyes tightly shut and placed my head in my hands. It was already 20 minuets after 6. I don't know why I'm still sitting here. Maybe I'm hoping that he'll come. A lone tear slid down my cheek. I brought my hand to wipe it away and clenched my fists. I was counting on him to come...I really needed to tell him something. I need to get this....weight of my chest.
I stood up. Guess I'll have to tell him another day. Another day, another chance hopefully. Heavy footsteps were heard. I whipped my head around. He gasped for breathe as he righted himself. He smiled at my shocked and slightly tear streaked face. He came. He actually came.
"Vladimire. You came.". He merly grinned his toothy grin at me and responded.
" Well of course. Sorry for being this late Skyler. I ran late at the shop and I stopped by to get these". He indicated the bouquet of white and black roses in his hand. I stared at them. How did he know I love white and black roses? Most importantly,why did he get me roses? He passed me the bouquet of roses and I took them and uttered a quick,"Thank you.".
I smelled the roses. The perfume of the roses filled my nostrils and intoxicated me. The sent was wonderful and of course my favourite. He teetered on the edge of speech swinging his fist back and front.
" Skyler, I have always liked you since I've set eyes on you. Will you be my girl friend?". I blinked. I definitely heard that wrongly. He, tell me that he likes me?
"You asked me if you wanted to be your girl friend?". He nodded looking nervous. I beamed at him at took a step closer to him.
" I've been waiting for you to ask me since forever.". Vladimire smiled back and me. He hugged me around the middle and I hugged him back. I'll never let you go once i've got you. I love you France Vladimire.
