This Kind Of Love
Chapter One
Eighteen Months
Aaron Brewer smiled as he knocked on his girlfriend, and best friends dorm. They were both attending the prestigious Stanford University as sophomores , aspiring to be attorneys. Savannah opened the door and immediately smiled,
"Hey Aaron." Savannah kissed his cheek and Aaron pulled her into a tight hug. Savannah was dressed in a light pink pastel knee length skirt and a white tank top with cute pink sweater over it.
"You look great hon." Aaron said taking her hand and spinning her around to examine her full circle.
"Thank you, you look pretty handsome your self." Ruthie said admiring Aaron's tan colored pants and his green and blue stripped polo shirt. Aaron smiled and leaned in and kissed her on the lips, Savannah smiled on the inside as she felt his lips touch hers and she gently kissed him back .
"Are you ready to go?" Aaron asked asked her pulling away, still holding her hand.
"Yes, but I wish you would tell me where were going?" Savannah said grabbing her Coach bag of the counter in her dorm and giving him a pleading look.
"That's cute, but that's not gonna work." The two had been dating a year and a half, today. They were going out to dinner, and dancing for their anniversary.
"Oh fine." Savannah said kissing him again and taking his hand as they exit her room. Savannah turned around and locked her dorm which she shared with her friend Alice Davis who was gone for a week with her family.
"What about some hints?" Savannah asked looking up at him, their arms linked.
"Nope, you're just going to have to wait and see." Savannah sighed.
"I promise, you wont be disapointed, at least I hope not." He said grinning at her.
"I can almost bet I will love it. Even if it's Mcdonalds, I would be happy because I am with you." Savannah smiled up at Aaron and kissed him again as they headed out to the parking lot . Aaron opened the door Honda Civic for Savannah, closed it and the hopped into the other side.
"I want you to know Savy, that the past year and a half has been the best year of my life. I am so happy we made the decision to go from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. I know we will never regret it. I wouldn't change the past 18 months for anything. I love you Savannah Kinkirk" Aaron said bring her hand to his lips and kissing it gently.
"I love you Aaron Brewer. I feel the same, moving forward to being your girlfriend was the bet design that I ever made." She smiled at him and he kissed her hand again before dropping it and turning his attention to backing out and heading for the surprise restaurant. Savannah tuned the radio dial to their favorite radio station, country music. Aaron smiled as their favorite song came on, they both started to sing along, not caring how stupid and out of tune it may have sounded.
"I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you."
"I absolutely love that song." Savannah said smiling as the song came to en end.
"Me too. Remember when we went to their concert?" Aaron said, a smile coming across his face.
"Yep, that's when you first told me you cared about me more then just as a friend." Savannah said smiling at the memory.
"Uh huh. Then you said you wanted to remain friends for a while. It broke my heart." Aaron said looking over at her quickly before glancing back at the road.
"I know, but you couldn't blame me. Even though I felt the same way, I was afraid that if we dated and it failed, we would no longer be friends." Savannah said sincerely looking at Aaron.
"Yeah. I understood where you were coming from but I had a feeling we would last, and we would be friends forever." Aaron smiled and turned on to the freeway.
"Yep, and that is why I am so happy you pressed the issue and I finally came to my senses."
"Yeah I am glad you did too." Aaron kissed her hand once more and squeezed it., continuing to drive.
They continued to drive for a few more minutes, making small talk until Aaron finally arrived at the restraunt. Savannah looked around and realized they were at the restraunt/hotel where her father had proposed to her mother, 20 years before.
"Aaron! This is the hotel where my parents got engaged." Savannah said smiling as she hopped out of the car taking Aaron's hand.
"I know, your father told me." Aaron said as they walked in.
"I have to go to the bathroom, be back in a couple of minutes okay?" Savannah said smiling at Aaron.
"Okay, I will go tell the hostess we are here, and then meet you back here." Savannah nodded and headed off to the bathroom smiling. As she got in their she pulled out her pink cell phone, and glanced at the text message from her mom.
'hey honey. hope u and aaron have a great 18th month anniversary and many more. love u-mom and dad' Savannah smiled when she read it. She was an only child and had always been especially close to her parents. Her mom was one of her best friends and her dad was always there to joke around with her, or whenever she needed him. She quickly texts back.
'thanks guys. i am in the bathroom right now. but guess where we are? the place where u got engaged. how romantic. ttyl-love savy' Savannah sent her text, went to the bathroom, washed her hands and headed out to where Aaron was waiting for her
"You ready?" Aaron asked taking her hand. Savannah nodded and smiled and kissed him on the lips.
"Happy 18 month anniversary baby." Savannah smiled and the two followed the hostess to their private candlelit table.
