VALENTINES
DON'T OWN THEM
AS ALWAYS I WANT REVIEWS
Author's Note: To my favorite brat – you know who you are… The point is Anna has Webb doing things he would never do; she is an "interesting influence" on him.
=====================================================================================================
Anna was stuck working tonight. The Landon House had a special Valentine's Package and she had promised to help. She and Clay had agreed to celebrate the next night. Webb decided that he wanted to celebrate on the 14th. He had entered a whole new world; he liked the idea of being in "like" with someone. As a surprise, while Anna worked, Clayton Webb went to her home. By the time she arrived, he had soft music playing, candlelight all around, rose petals scattered and a smile on his face. He wasn't in like, he was in love.
"Clay this is wonderful." Anna exclaimed.
"Our first Valentine's, we couldn't celebrate tomorrow." Clay replied.
"When did you become such a romantic?" Anna laughed.
"Oh, last September sometime." Clay said with a smile pouring her a glass of champagne.
"So what's on the agenda?" Anna asked.
"First this." Clay said handing Anna a red apple.
"Ok." Anna laughed. "What's next a banana?"
"No, this." Clay said handing her a small ham.
"Am I missing something here?" Anna asked with a laugh.
"Now dinner." Clay said taking the cover off the platter that was on the table. On the platter was another ham with baked apple rings.
"It looks wonderful Clay." Anna said very confused.
"You don't get it." Clay said rolling his eyes.
"No I do, you cooked. I'm sure it's terrific." Anna said completely clueless.
"Anna I thought you were smart." Clay laughed.
"Well since I'm not, explain it." Anna said.
"A New York apple? A Virginia ham? Look how perfectly they go together." Clay stated.
"Oh Clay" Anna said raising her hand to her chest, "that has to be the most romantic adorable thing I have ever seen."
"You like it?" Clay asked.
"I love it." Anna said wrapping her arms around him. "Now I have something for you."
She went to the bedroom and came back with a box, "Happy Valentines Day."
"What is this?" Clay said opening the box. He then started laughing.
"You like?" Anna asked. "Your mother helped me pick it out."
"My mother helped you pick out silk boxers." Clay asked in shock.
"Yes she did, and I expect a fashion show later." Anna said with a smile.
"You bought me underwear with my mother." Clay laughed.
"Are you complaining?" Anna asked.
"I guess not." Clay said kissing her. "With my mother?"
"Now let's eat. I want some Virginia Ham." Anna laughed.
After dinner, Clay made a fire and they cuddled on the floor. Anna was resting her head on Clay's chest and he was playing with her hair.
"Anna, are you happy?" Clay asked.
"Yeah, what about you?" Anna replied.
"I'm happy." Clay replied. "Dance with me."
"Ok?" Anna said looking at him. "You never want to dance."
"Tonight I do." Clay said changing the CD.
"You have this all planned huh?" Anna laughed.
"Yes I do. I even picked the song." Clay smiled.
Once in your life you
will find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
Yor´re closing down the town
Wake up and it´s still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wonderin´ to yourself
Hey what have I found
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it´s crazy but it´s true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love…
"Arthur's Theme?" Anna laughed.
"Hey, it was either that or New York, New York. But somehow I didn't think a song with the words, start spreading the news I'm leaving today, would not go over too well." Clay replied. You're becoming a sap Webb.
"Clayton Webb, you are actually corny." Anna laughed. "But I love it."
They went to bed. Two days later Clay left for Turkey. Anna threw herself into her work while she waited for him to come back.
