My eyes shoot open as if I had heard a scream. I run to my calender. I check it. October 27th, 2014, just as I had thought, the day before Our Anniversary, my and Neil's Anniversary. Wow, two years and still going. Dang it! I forgot to get him a present! So I slide on a pair of super skinny jeans and a half top with the beach and sunglasses on it. Then I tie my Converse. I grab my new ruby red Jetta car keys and my purse to head to the mall.
I come up to the sales clerk and buy a watch and a cute golden bangle.
"Is that all?", asks the girl, her name tag reads in big bold letters,"Stet".
"Yes", I say as i pay her a ten dollar bill, grab my stuff, and go home.

THE NEXT DAY
Beep beep! Great, he's here. Beeep!
"Okay, I'm coming!", I say putting some red glittery heels on to match my red flame dress,"Give me a second!"
I walk up to the car.
"Someone looks good", Neil coos,"Excited for our romantic evening?"
"How could I not?", I say leaning in for a kiss. He kisses back.
"Lets get started then", he says starting the engine.
"Well, hows it been, haven't seen you in two days!", he says, his arm resting around my shoulder.
"Well, it would have been better if you didn't have to leave for vacation.......", I trail off frowning at my
hands.
"I'm here now...........", he trails off, " C'mon, talk to me! I want to hear about what happened while I was gone!"
"Fine, if you really want to know.............", I start.
"I DO, I really do, please, just tell me!", he says, his beautiful green eyes staring at me before quickly returning to the road ahead.
"Okay", I give in,"The first and second day I sat, bored at my bed, waiting for you, the third day I went to work, and yesterday I went to the mall. Oh, and today I am with my favorite person in the whole world."
"And who might that be?", he asks knowing it's him.
"This guy i'm texting", I tease.
"Ahh, is it that Neil guy you've been gushing about?", he asks.
"Maybe.............................", I say.
"And I thought that we had a thing going", he sighs.
............////////..............
When we get out of the car he took my hand and squeezed, the warmth between us blending with the cool air. When we get in, he orders the T-bone steak with a Cherry Coke, and I order a Chef salad and a diet Dr. Pepper. After that I go to the bathroom, come back, and find him one one knee, a little heart shaped box in his hand.
