The
evening before the romantic evening, I would set my alarm
clock to 7:30am. Then, as I awake to the alarm, I would reach
over to the telephone and call my sweetie. I'd tell
her how much I love her and remind her of the special evening
planned ahead.
During the afternoon, I would email her an e-card telling
her how special she is in my life.
On
my way home from work I buy a dozen red roses and then go
home and prepare for the evening. I pick her up in my impressive
scooter with one red rose in hand (the rest of the roses are
in the fridge to be de-petaled later). I present her
with the rose and a soft kiss and ask her to sit on the scooter
while I blindfold her. She plays along and soon we are off
to our favorite restaurant Fatty's.
Upon arrival, I park and untie the blindfold. She is pleasantly
surprised and we enter and then dine together while staring
intimately into each other¡¦s eyes.
Afterwards, we are so full that we decide to talk a moonlit
walk through Feng Le Art park, (off of Wenshin S. 3rd
Road). We walk towards the man-made lake, then put together
the lantern we made the previous evening, light it and watch
it float up to the heavens. Attached to the lantern
is a note declaring our love. We watch the lantern lying
on the grass holding each other tightly until it can no longer
be seen.
