We walk to my car and I open Donna's door for her. As I did this Donna gave a look like I had a three heads. "What?" I asked with a confused face.
"What did you do with Joshua Lyman?" She asked with an amused smile.
"Nothing I'm different then when I'm at work. Well okay a little different." I gave her a little grin. She gives it back as she climbs into the car. I go around to my side and do the same.
"So can you tell me now? That we are on our way there." She gives a pout and I laugh a little.
"What's so funny?" I give her a smile and say.
"That you think that the pout will still work on me."
"It doesn't work on you anymore?"
"Nope, because I can now do this and wipe it off." As I say this I lean into and as I finish I kiss her. I pull back and smile at her because her eyes are still closed. As she opens them she smiles at me. "So I guess it doesn't away anymore. Just like your smirk." I laugh and she joins in. I put car on and into drive to first destination.
I love how Josh, now that we're going out, does unexpected things. I'm really intrigued of where we are going tonight. He won't tell me a thing about the place. I heard from C.J. that he planed this all by himself. So I'm a little worried what he planned. As I'm thinking this he picks up my hand and kisses it without even taking his eyes on the road. He puts my hand down and holds onto it as he drives with one hand on the wheel.
We sit in a comfortable silence as he drives us to my surprise. I ask if I could put the radio on when he answers that I could, I do. I go through the stations until I hear the beginning of a song that I know. I love this song because I always wanted someone like this for me. I now know that I do I have Josh.
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby, when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams.
With josh I have this; he makes me feel so alive, so happy to have him even near me, I can feel the way he loves when he holds me or kisses me. He doesn't have to say those three words because I feel them and see them in his eyes when he looks at me.
Don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you.
I'm so in love him it hurts deep down. I know that this thing with Josh can only get better. I know that his dreams and my dreams are the same at this moment because it is making the world a better place for the future.
Just as the songs ends he stops the car. "This is the first stop of the night." I look at the front window and see the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. We're on a cliff staring at a sky full of stars. It looks like it goes on for forever. I look over to Josh and found out he is looking straight at me.
She looks like an angel, the way the moonlight glows around her as she looks up towards the heavens. She looks so beautiful; I just want to hold her and never let her go. She turns her head to me and gives her 'I want to hug and kiss you' smile. Let me just say I love this smile, well I love all of her smiles, but I love this one because I get to kiss her. I will never stop loving to kiss this woman and her sweet lips.
She leans towards me and kisses me with so much passion that I think my heart will burst. She ends the kiss and leans her forehead on mine.
"So what are we doing here, not that I don't love it because I do." She asks with a bright smile.
"Well I heard of this place and I figured you would like it. I also heard of a restaurant around here that's great. I called the place a reserved a table."
"Really, you went through all this trouble just for a first date?"
"Nothing is trouble when I do it for you. I also wanted you to have a great first date with me."
"Well you don't have to worry about that. I just didn't think you could plan this all by yourself."
"That hurt Donna. I can do things sometimes by myself." I said in a mock hurting voice.
"Oh poor Joshy got hurt? Do you want me to kiss it and make it feel all better?"
Oh yeah sure do. I nodded my head to answer her question. So she leaned into me.
I kissed him lightly on the lips. As I was about to pull away josh deepened the kiss. I moaned into and he took that moment to put his tongue into my mouth. His tongue danced gently and slowly against mine. Then it went to rough and fast from years of frustration. When I need oxygen I stopped the kiss. We both stop and caught our breaths, when we did I asked if we need to go to the restaurant for dinner now. He said yes and headed to the place never letting go of my hand.
When we got to the restaurant and Josh went into the parking lot and parked the car. He shut off the car, got out and went to my side before I could get out, and opened it for me. I took his hand that he offered and stepped out of the car. He linked our arms together as we walked into the restaurant.
"Lyman for two." He told the hostess
"Right this way sir." She lead us to the back in front of a window, you could see starry night. "Wow, Josh this is perfect."
"Yeah, well did expect anything else?" he said smugly.
"Oh, shut up. But thank you." I kissed him on the cheek as I sat in the chair he pulled out for me.
He sat down across the table from me. Our waiter comes and asks us if we would like to order our drinks.
"I'll have a glass of white wine, whatever is open." Josh said not even looking away from me. "I'll have the same. Thank you."
We sat quietly in a nice silence as we picked out our meals. I can't decide if I want the chicken basil with linguine or shrimp fettuccine alfredo. Hmm…
"What's the matter?" Josh asked with concern.
"Oh! Nothing, I just can't decide what I want."
"What dishes are you stuck on?" I told him the dishes and he replied "Well I was going to order the chicken one. So how about you order the shrimp and we'll spilt. Okay?"
"Thanks Josh but you don't have to-"
"No I want to its like paying for one dish but getting two."
"Okay, if you only it's okay with you."
"It's fine Donna it isn't like it's a huge decision."
"May I take your orders now?" The waiter asked us. We told him what we wanted for dinner and he went. We talked about how Sam and C.J. this morning had big hangovers and that Josh did loud things just too make it worst. During our conversation our hands met and intertwined. Josh must have just notice because he picked up my hand and kissed my knuckles.
I smile sweetly him "I'm have a great time tonight." He smiled back at me and said
"Me to, hey do you want to dance?"
"I would love to." He got up and offered his hand to me. I grabbed it and got up. He held on to my hand until we were in the middle of the dance floor. The start of 'She's Got A Way' by Billy Joel. He put his hand on my back and with his other hand grabbed mine. He pulled me close and kissed my hand then put our hands over his heart. I lied my head down on his chest. We danced as he held me tight. I wished that this will never end.
This song is all about what Donna does to me and does for me. It could be the worst day and all I have to see is her smile and all I can do is smile back. She shows the good in people and what I do is to make her look at me with such pride. I can't wait until we are in the white house so I can do more for the country and for Donna.
The waiter is singling me that dinner is ready. So I pull away from Donna just enough to see her face and tell we have to go back to the table. I give her a quick kiss then let go of her. We walk to the table me holding her hand. When I get there I pull out her chair for her, she sits, and I push her in. I go to my side and tell her "Here, I'll spilt the food." I say as I gab her dish.
"Just don't put more food on your dish then mine." She says with a teasing smile.
"That hurt Donna; I would never cheat on food. Also you shouldn't be talking you're the one that steals my fries all the time." I say in a mock-hurt voice. Her response to this was to stick her tongue out at me. So I got up and brought my chair to sit right next to her.
"I dare you to do that again and you'll see what happens." I know that she'll do it again because she never backs down from anything.
"Fine, I won't back down from you and I don't back down from dares." She sticks out her tongue and before she could put it back in her mouth, I leaned in and kissed her.
I put her hands on the sides of her face. When I first kissed her, her tongue went right into my mouth and she moaned. I don't think, no I know, that I will always love that noise. I stop the kiss after a few moments.
"Told you I would do something." I said as I pick up my chair and out it back where it was.
I finish splitting up the meals and hand Donna her plate back. We eat in a comfortable silence. When Donna finishes she gets the waiter and asks if she can have one chocolate cheesecake and one napoleon. She knows that I love napoleons. She looks back at me and smiles at me.
"So where do we go from here?"
I answer back. "We move on to better things." Soon I will tell her what my heart already knows.
