I see David's sleek black Mercedes he gets out. He has on one of those t shirts that looks like he is wearing a tuxedo.

His usual flyaway brown hair is combed back and he has on black tight jeans. My smile widens as he approaches me.

He smiles at me too.

Then once he is in front of me he picks me up in arms and twirls me around twice. I giggle like crazy and so does he.

David sets me down his arms still around my waist.

We both have stop giggling.

He takes my face in his hands and we kiss for a few seconds.

I'm thankful for the darkness so my parents if they are watching they can't see us.

Finally we stop kissing and David says "Melinda you look amazing are you ready to go?"

I nod and say "Thanks, Yep I'm really curious to see what this surprise is."

David laughs and opens the passenger side door for me. Then he says "Well the surprise doesn't come till after dinner."

I roll my eyes slightly and get in the car. David shuts my door and lopes to the driver's side.

He starts up the car and we drive for awhile.

We are going to eat at one of my favorite restaurants in Syracuse: Baja Burrito.

The silence is driving me a tad insane so I ask him "So are you going to at least give me a hint as to what this surprise is?"

David shakes his head and says "Oh no that would spoil the surprise for you."

I scream in mock frustration "Ugh, you are so annoying!"

David smiles at my frustration and says to me "Don't worry Mel you'll love it I promise."

I lean back against my seat and say "I hope so."

David pecks me on my cheek reassuringly and says "You will"

We get to the Baja Burrito around eight o' clock. I order a chicken ranch burrito platter and David orders a taco salad.

We eat and drink our coco-colas.

We spend the rest of the night getting caught up with each other.

I signed up for an art class in the city last summer and I started going to it again, I have it almost every other day.

David interns at his uncle's lab after school and on the weekends so we haven't been spending as much time together as either of us would like. Tonight none of those things matter.

It's so easy to talk to David.

We laugh and eat and laugh some more.

Time passes quickly and before I know it our waitress is coming up to us and asks "Are you kids ready for dessert?"

I open my mouth to say yes but David is there before me and says "No thank you may we have our check please?"

The waitress nods takes our empty plates and goes off to get it.

I look at David confused and ask him "We aren't having dessert here?"

David takes my left hand smiles and kisses it. Then he says "Don't worry we'll have dessert another way."

I look at him still confused.

I want to ask him what is going on but my mouth won't work.

I am hoping this dessert isn't what I think it is. I am suddenly anxious. I take deep breaths to calm myself.

I do it discreetly so he doesn't notice I'm getting upset.

He pays the check and we leave.

I am hoping and praying that this surprise of his is harmless.
