notes from the drawing table: I thought I'd join in the Valentine's Day fun. It's a short short! Please enjoy.
Seein' Things for the First Time
Peaceful, low waves washed across the beautiful white sands and lapped under the legs of the many occupied lounge chairs, which lined the water's edge. Thatched grass umbrellas shielded from the full force of the sun.
Cancun beaches were always crowded at this time of the year but that didn't bother them at all. Cancun, this resort and this beach, were special to them because this is where they finally realized they were in love.
A dark haired, dark skinned young man arrived with drinks.
"Fresh margaritas for my favorite guests."
"Thank you, Ramon."
"Gracias, Ramon,"
The recliners were set close, so it was easy for them to intertwine arms as they sipped the drinks, giggling.
"I love this place."
"Me too," Sam agreed, warm feelings washing over her. "Especially this beach. It makes me so happy because this is right where we were when we got over all that other stuff and finally figured out what we really wanted."
"Do you ever wish that everything hadn't happened on the same day, though"?
"Nah, babe . . . that just makes it a little bit more special. Certainly easier to remember."
"Wow, Sam . . . sometimes you think just like a guy."
"Better watch your tongue . . . them's fightin' words."
"I'd rather you watch my tongue."
"With pleasure," Sam smiled deviously as she rolled onto the other recliner where they shared a deep, passionate kiss. Finally coming up for air, they stared into each other's eyes, brown meeting blue.
"Happy fifth anniversary, Sam. I love you so much."
"Happy Valentine's Day, Carly. I love you, too."
