Our Affection

7. Little happiness

Nina's POV:
It was Friday evening when Zach called me. He told me to wear something fancy and meet him at 7 pm. I wore my red velvet dress and curled my hair with little makeup on face. I heard the doorbell and went to open the door. I opened the door and saw Zach.

Zach was wearing a black suit and pant. He looked so handsome as his fair skin matched the black suit perfectly. I was looking at him from top to bottom and so does he. For a while we had eye contact.

Breaking the eye contact I said, "You look good." He said, "Thank you,Nina and you look beautiful." I was blushing and to change the awkward situation I said "Let's go". He nodded and we went to the parking lot.

So, he took me to a beautiful restaurant. I asked him why he had taken me to the restaurant. Well he just said that he had some great news so he wanted to celebrate.

Honestly,I didn't want to go anywhere today because tommorow was my birthday and this time my bestfriend, who used to come home at midnight with a cake to wish me, isn't here with me. I was missing Sara alot and also Zach didn't know that tommorow is my birthday and I didn't feel like telling him now.

So, we had our dinner. The food was good and the environment was beautiful. Then we started heading back to home but suddenly Zach took me to the park near my home. I asked him why he stopped the car but he said he wanted to show me something.

Then we went inside the park and I saw lightnings at the middle of the park. We went there and suddenly Zach wispered "Happy birthday Nina"

I was shocked. How did he know my birthday? I was smiling and I was actually happy for all of his efforts. I looked at Zach and saw a small cake in his hand. I cut the cake and we ate and sat on the bench.

Then I looked back at Zach and asked him "Who told you about my birthday?"

He nervously said "Well don't mind but few days ago I checked out your Facebook profile and found out."
I looked at him and then laughed. He too laughed.

I was so overwhelmed that he made my birthday so special so I hugged him very tightly. At first, he didn't hug me back but eventually he did. And right that moment I knew I was falling very hard for this guy. How couldn't I. Since Sara had gone, he's been there for me always and made my everyday beautiful. Honestly, with him I feel more alive. I am grateful for meeting him.
