Maria Santiago was a 21 year old who never found true love. So instead of finding her true love, she just started dating her career. Until the she saw him. He looked familiar but couldn't put her finger on it. Will he win her heart or will he break...
The sunset creates a warm atmosphere like waking up in the morning with the fluffiest robe drinking hot chocolate and sitting on a comfy sofa on a balcony in Spain. With birds chirping and a warm breeze flowing. This man who I dream of so often, who awakens my senses, who makes me feel weak and vulnerable just won't show his face. Even though I love hearing his voice and feeling his arms around my body its just not enough. Being in a dream is not enough.
'It is 9:00 PM and no sign of Michael anywhere. No text, no call no nothing. I knew it was too good to be true. I'll just go out with Megan.' I thought.
I call Megan and she does not answer. All seven times. The one time she is asleep I want to go out with her. Oh well. I get up off my couch and walk to the front door. I open the door looking down about to step one foot out the door and I see shoes opposite of mine.
'This is where I die.' I thought.
I clutch my purse so tight I'm afraid I might break it. I slowly look up and see a..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ROSE?!!!!!!!!!!!!
I look up and see Michael smirking at me. He just loves provoking me. I sigh in relief and went in to hug him. But wait he was late by an hour. I stepped back and crossed my arms.
"Give me one reason why I should go out with you?" I said. "Well not only do you look more stunning than ever like you always do, I want to get to know you more, I wanna show you what the world is capable of, I wanna show you what its like to have me in your life, and I wanna show you what its like to feel happy. Not just regular neutral happy but the kind of happy where your cheek muscles hurt from the constant smiling, being optimistic so much it annoys your friends, humming when you don't notice, having butterflies in your stomach when you see me. Looking at life like its all wine and roses." he said.
I am shocked he managed to come up with that. Just crazy. I looked into his eyes and I saw not one bit of him lying. Well who says I can't play with him a little bit?
"Well what makes you think I want all that happy gibber gabber? I could just be happy living the life I have now." she says passing Michael's body walking to the car.
"Well I never said you weren't happy with your life right now. I'm saying I want to add something to your life and see if you will enjoy it. Please Maria. Give me a chance to make it to you for being late." Michael said slowly walking up to Maria wanting to hold her in his arms.
Before he could even touch her hands she said "Are we going to dinner or not?" she asked.
He opens the passenger door and leave it open for her "Your chariot madam."
Maria gets in the car and Michael closes the door for her. They leave to go to the most romantic place in all of the city. Chick-Fil-A.
"So why is Chick-Fil-A the most romantic spot in all the city? I mean there is Olive Garden, The Perch, 71Above, hell even The Little Door and you chose Chick-FIl-A?" Maria questioned.
(I forgot what city Maria lives in so I'm going to say LA. If its not LA please remind me in the comments)
"Well ever since I was a kid my mom and dad and I had this tradition, whenever we get an achievement no matter how big or small it was we would always celebrate it with Chick-Fil-A. Even though my mother died-"
"Wait your mother died?" Maria asked. "Yes about 3 years ago." "I'm so sorry" Maria says. She caresses his shoulder and smiles at him. "Its alright. Even though my mother died, my dad and I still do that tradition. It helps us feel closer to her you know." Michael smiles.
He checks the time and realizes "Oh its getting late Ms. Santiago." he turns the car on and shifts it into drive. "Wait wait wait, don't you wanna stay and talk a little more?" she asked.
"Well I have to go to work early in the morning. You know the meetings are." "Yes yes I do." she chuckles while nodding. She looks into his eyes and thinks 'He is such a wonderful man. I wonder how he managed to stay single.' He slowly leans in and puts his lips against Maria's. The kiss is so gentle yet sensual. Maria kisses back holding his biceps wanting more.
She pulls back remembering that he has to work for it. "I guess it is good to take me home." She whispers.
They make it back to Maria's front door.
"Thank you for the dinner. I had a lot of fun." Maria thanks him. "Your welcome my love."
"My love?" "It felt like a my love moment." he laughs while walking up to Maria. Holding her in his arms. "Oh really? Well what does this moment feel like now?" she questions accepting his embrace. "Maybe something like this?" he leans in, about to give Maria another kiss when he kisses her cheek. "Good night Maria Santiago." he smiles.
"Good night Michael." she turns around and unlocks her door. She walks in and is about to close the door when she says "I'll see you around baby." She winks at him then closes the door.
