Night of Romance_(0)

I had an entire flock of butterflies fluttering around in my tummy. I had been ready for our date for about an hour already. Even did extra stuff like a long warm bubble bath, facial, manicure and my hair styled. I really wanted to make a good impression on him. My best friend set up the date and all she would tell me was that he was a great guy, nice, funny and gorgeous. Not even his name! So of course at first I was skeptical. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Why would such a great catch be so single? The more I thought about it, the more I realized I was acting like a kid in high school, judging before you know the facts. Then my imagination ran rampant on me and I pictured everyone from Fabio to Kevin Costner. In less than an hour I would know. I felt so silly as I waited impatiently. I tried to busy myself with small chores around my apartment, but never really could relax or get the rather tempting ‘movie’ starring me and Mr. Mystery and our upcoming date.

As I was dancing around the kitchen with the mop I was brought back to reality by the sound of the doorbell. And the butterflies returned with reinforcements. I checked my hair as I passed the mirror in the short hallway to the door. Ok, I still looked like I just stepped out of the salon. It felt like an eternity to me as I watched my hand raise up to grasp the doorknob. I took a couple of deep breaths and opened the door. I about fell over.

I made a mental note for later, definitely tell Jackie thank you! He was tall, probably about six feet, dark brown hair, deep green eyes, a gorgeous smile and a body that just wouldn’t quit covered in khakis and a button up the front hunter green shirt.
