I get home from work to see the mailman knocking on my door with a package and I find it strange because I didn't order anything. After signing for it I head inside and quickly open it up only to have a huge smile on my face as I see a royal blue shirt with a note in Stella's handwriting "please wear this tonight." Setting the shirt aside I get myself together in the kitchen to prepare a meal for us. Now I gotta be honest I haven't really cooked in years, last I remember was maybe when I was with Claire. Something I tried to surprise her with and I was surprised it actually turned out well. I take a deep breathe as I prepare a meal I know Stella will love as I remember her mentioning it to me as her favorite. I smile as I finish up a few more things and making sure everything taste good. I leave it at a low temp and grab a bottle of wine and set it to chill. Adjusting the stereo and setting up a smooth jazz cd I just let it play as I go and set the table. I arrange the dozen roses in a vase in the corner along with a card I had gotten Stella and a gift. I was nervous buying it, now don't think it's intimate clothing, I don't think I could ever buy something like that but it's a set of earrings and a necklace to match but I was undecided as to get emerald to match her eyes or just her birthstone. Choosing wisely I went with her birthstone and I had also bought a heart shaped gold platted necklace with small diamonds around the heart and had it engraved on site. Naturally it cost much more having it done at that moment, but for Stella price meant nothing to me. Seeing that everything was in order I head towards the bathroom to take my shower and get myself ready for my date with Stella.
I quickly shower and do a light shave so my face won't be too rough, turning off the shower I quickly dry off and start getting dressed. In between I'm running back and forth on making sure I don't over cook anything and getting dressed, I look like a cartoon character on steroids. I stop at my mirror and see myself in black dress pants and the royal blue shirt that Stella bought for me and I can't help but smile. I leave the first two buttons opened and started to think on how did she pick up on my size and style. I mean I'm not complicated, in fact I'm very simple but I know she spent a lot buying me a very nice name brand shirt and the material feels so soft. But of all the colors she is seen me in this is the one she chose and I know it must be her favorite color on me. I remember on occasions how she would say it brings out the color in my eyes and I would just smile sheepishly like I'm doing now. Ok Mac, relax she'll be here any minute. I apply a few sprays of cologne and one last look I head to the door, grabbing another rose I had bought separately so I can greet her at the door I walk over and take a look at the peephole and see she has arrived and wow does she look amazing.
Opening the door I see her standing there in a long red dress with a small opening right in the middle of her breast area and her hair is pinned up with some strands to the side and I just can't help but smile and admire how amazing she looks in her outfit. "H-hi" she manages to say as she stares at me and I can tell she likes what she sees. I greet her and tell her how gorgeous she looks as I hand her the single rose. I ask her if she trust me and she arches her brow as into why am I asking her this but she just nods and I lead her inside my apartment. Quickly closing and locking the door I place my arms around her from behind and I can feel her body immediately arch itself into mine. Oh God, I swallow hard as I have to control myself as I feel myself get hard. The way her body just feels against mine and how it just responds to it, I just feel like taking her to the bedroom and making her mine. Mac focus, it's a date. I tell her to open her eyes and she looks around at how I had set up the table and had more roses waiting for her along with a card and a gift and she is in total shock.
"Wow, Mac, I -I oh this is beautiful." I hear her say as I come from behind her and walk her to the table. Serving her plate she just smile and tells me how it's her favorite and I just smile as we sit to eat and enjoy the meal. As we finished the meal I gather everything and start washing the dishes and I see her insist on helping but I told her no that we're on a date and I'm not allowing it. She simply smiles and gets up to take a seat on the couch and just watches me and take occasional glances at her gift that is wrapped in the corner next to the roses. Finishing up I make my way back to her with 2 glasses of wine and just sit next to her as she once again thanks me for the lovely meal. She keeps looking anxiously at her present and I can't help but laugh as I know she looks like a kid on Christmas morning waiting to open that special gift up. I distract her by asking her to dance and now I know she must think I'm up to something. I don't dance at all but I would do it with her and I want her to remember this date, besides I wanna hold her in my arms once more. While dancing I can't keep my eyes off her but little did I know my own eyes would betray me as I know they're sparkling more and I see she noticed it and asked me as to why and I looking at her in that way and all I did was answer her by saying how could I have never told her my feeling for her before. I couldn't finish my sentence before she kisses my lips softly and tells me that we were both afraid but all that matters is now. She looks once more at the gift and I know that if she doesn't open this soon she'll be staring at it all night. Telling her she can open her gift she squeals and claps like a small child and I can't help but smile at her childish behavior. She opens up the box only to have her eyes open up wide and stare in shock.
"Mac, oh my god!"
