Lolly And Blondie

Blondie

I was excited, to say the least, and yet extremely nervous. Here I was walking to god-knows-where with a silk scarf tied gently around my eyes with Lolly as my guide. She had said she wanted to surprise me earlier for our date, but now I was beyond curious. My excitement had me feeling giddy all over and it was hard to reign it in.

"Lolly," I whined. "Are we almost there yet?" I had asked her and if I counted correctly, it would be my third time asking the same question. At this point, I just wanted to annoy Lolly a little. Only because I knew I would pay for it later in her bed.

She tightened her grip on my arm as I had almost tripped over my own feet. "Nearly there. We just need to walk a little further," She pecked my nose and continued. A few more minutes passed with me holding onto Lolly as she guided us to this mysterious place. As we walked, I couldn't help but think of how nice she looked when she picked me up from home.

It was early afternoon which meant my father wasn't home. He always worked late so he was barely home at all. I had the whole place to myself and it was not all that bad. That is, of course, once I got over the loneliness. I had taken a shower and proceeded to dress up in a thin-strapped, rose gold mini sequin dress. On my feet, I decided to wear tan shoes with a thick heel. It was short, simple, but still classy and I hoped Lolly would like it.

I heard the doorbell ring just as I had finished putting on light mascara and gloss. I walked down the stairs, stopped by the mirror to make sure my hair was fine, and then smoothly opened the front door. There she sat, sitting on one of the porch chairs waiting for me. She was dressed in a white shirt under a navy blue blazer with light jeans and tan shoes. She topped it off with a silver chain around her neck, earring studs, and a nice watch. She looked perfect with her hair down and curled around her. She looked up at me from where I opened the door and gave me a once over also. At first, she didn't seem to know what to say until she hunched her shoulders, placed her hand on her lap with the other dangling on her right side and sighed. She just gave me this look and I knew-I knew she loved it. Loved me.

As I recall, the first thing she said was, "I think I just melted," Well, she didn't exactly say it to me, but she mumbled it and I managed to hear. Then she stood up and put my hand in hers while her eyes stared into my own. Her smell intoxicated my senses. All of her just filled this void inside of me and I couldn't get enough. I loved her."You look gorgeous."

It was the way she said it that caused tears to well up in my eyes. I was glad Lolly didn't notice because I felt embarrassed and I was sure my cheeks had brightened considerably. I stuttered out her looking just as perfect before she reached into her pocket and brought out a silk scarf. I was a little hesitant, but I trusted Lolly and knew she would not steer me wrong when it came to me being blindfolded. So, here we are with me seeing into the darkness and Lolly being my light.

Time ticked on more until suddenly we stopped and I felt Lolly go behind me. She untied the scarf and gently pried it away from my eyes. It took me a few seconds to get past the blurriness in my vision, but when I did my eyes widened. It was so beautiful. Lanterns were everywhere and a rustic table was placed right in the middle along with two chairs. Trees surrounded the entire place giving it a sheltered, yet homey feel as I took in the smell. Food, a bottle of wine may be, and plenty of flowers lay atop the table. Decorated so wonderfully romantic, but simple. It had to be one of the best things anyone has ever done for me. For the second time that day, tears welled up in my eyes, but this time one slipped over.
