Donna is in her apartment finishing getting ready for her date with Patrick. She has just finished putting her makeup on and slides her red dress from the year before over her head. This was a sign she was getting over Josh because she hadn't worn this dress since that night that he told her she should keep it. She just shook off the feelings and was just about to change when the doorbell rang.

"Patrick, wow look at you, you look very handsome." I say

"Please Donna, it is you who are breathtaking. Are you sure you aren't taken by somebody else cause I can not believe my luck at having this chance to go out with somebody like you." Patrick says

MMM it feels so nice to have a man talk to me like that.

"I assure you Patrick I am as single as they come but I think I might be off the market now. If it's all right with you that is I don't want to pressure you or anything. So tell me what are the plans for this evening?"

"Well no you aren't pressuring me I would love to be a couple with a wonderful person such as yourself. As for this evening dinner will be at Francisco's and then I got two front row tickets for The Vagina Monologues I hope that meets your approval?" Patrick says alittle shyly

"Oh yes it does. Now lets get out of here and enjoy our evening.

Donna and Patrick enter the restaurant hand in hand. Once they are seated they place their orders.

"Donna, I have to say it again you look absolutely amazing." Patrick says while smiling shyly.

"Thank you Patrick. So tell me how your day was?" I say while smiling earnestly

"Well it was pretty dull today. My students were complaining because I gave them a pop quiz on their first day back. But, a couple of them actually did ace it. Anyways that's enough about my day. How did yours go sweetie?" He asks as he takes my hand

"Well it was in a sense a slow day. Josh had a lot of meetings he was in so I did a lot of research and stuff. But I must say on the highlights of my day was when I received this beautiful bouquet of white lilies and a lovely not." I say with a smile

"I am glad you like them. I do have a question for you though.." He starts

"You can ask me anything Patrick." I tell him honestly

"Where have you been all of my life? I mean it to I have been searching this world for the past 32 years looking for a woman like you. But you know what I don't think I want to look a gift horse in the mouth." He says

"I have been right here." I tell him right as our food arrives.

We continue to talk about everything and nothing while we eat and it feels absolutely wonderful

The food was wonderful and Patrick was a total gentleman. After dinner we went to the Kennedy Cent to see the Vagina Monologues. I must say it was an interesting choice but I enjoyed it. Okay so maybe I enjoyed the company more. But what can I say he is 32 he's tall well built has blonde hair hazel brown eyes fair tan and he has these dimples that make you just melt.

We just pulled up to my apartment. Patrick gets out of the car and opens my door.

"Thank you" I say

"You are very much welcome." He says as he leads me up the stairs. I forgot what a nice date felt like.

We get to my door and we stand there lost in each other's eyes. I kind of feel like I am sixteen and just as I was about to say something, Patrick breaks the silence.

"I had an unbelievably great time with you tonight, Donna. I am sad that it must come to an end. But, would I be hoping too much if I wanted to take you out again tomorrow night?" He asks me shyly

IS HE NUTS OF COURSE I WILL GO OUT WITH HIM!!

"I would love to go out with you again. And if you want you could come in for coffee.." I say hoping he will come in
