Design of the Heart

"Ok, as much as I love laying here on the couch with you it's 4:15 and we need to get ready for our date.", Jossilyn said.

"Date?"

"Yes, date. I am taking you on a date.", Jossilyn said getting up.

We got ready and Jossilyn still had not told me where we were going on our date.

We got in the car and she drove us to the fanciest restaraunt in town.  We ate dinner and talked,and she paid. After dinner we drove to the board walk and walked along the beach for a bit.  As we were sitting on the beach watching the sunset she surprised me yet again.

"Anna"

"Yes, love", I said with my head still on her shoulder.

"I need to ask you something", she said getting up.

"OK", I said nervously as she pulled me up.

"I had a really great time with you this week"

"I had a good time with you too babe."

"I know that we are already kind of dating or whatever, but there's  still something I haven't done yet.", she said taking my hands in hers.

"What's that?"

"Anna Rose Scott, will you be my girlfriend?"

My jaw dropped and tears welled up in my eyes, "YES! Yes! yes, a thousand times yes!"

Jossilyn smiled and I kissed her.  We made out until we saw a flash and heard the click of a camera.

When we pulled back we both looked in the direction of the flash and the guy snapped another one of us looking at him.  I grabbed Jossilyn by the hand and we walked over to him.

"When you publish that make sure you put that we are dating.  Oh, and can you send me those pictures yourself so that I have them for my memories.", I said.

"I-...  Uh-... yes, ma'am", the man stuttered.

"Thanks!", I shouted back as Jossilyn and I walked back to the car.

"You totally scared the shit out of him", Jossilyn laughed as we plopped down in the car.

"Yeah, I tend to have that affect sometimes when I want to", I winked.

Jossilyn drove me back to my beach house and dropped me off before going home herself.

Saturday came and went pretty quickly.  I woke up and sent a good morning text to Jossilyn, then went and made myself breakfast.  After I was done with breakfast I cleaned up the house since my sister's are coming down tomorrow and spent the rest of it watching Netflix and casually working on some designs to show my sisters once they got here.

Sunday morning came and I woke up to someone knocking at my door.  I rolled over and saw that it was only 7:00.  Who would be knocking at my door at this ungodly hour I thought as I got up to answer the door.  I looked through the glass before opening the door to see my sisters waiting at my door.

"What are you guys doing here so early?", I asked groggily.

"Umm, Anna, its like 9:00 back home", Sabrina said and they both laughed.

"Shit I forgot about the time change", I said stepping aside to let them in.

"So?",  Abby said setting her stuff down just inside the door.

"Oh, right, you guys can just set your stuff in the guest room, but there's no bed in there so one of you can sleep on the couch and the other can sleep in my bed with me while you guys are here, or you can sleep on the floor I don't really care", I laughed.
