It's Saturday morning and the sun is shining bright. I giggle. Tonight is date night and my boyfriend has kept every detail of his plan secret. Except, that I need to wear a dress because he is going to wear a shirt and tie. This left me in much panic. I'm not a "dress" kinda girl. I bought a few to wear out on our dates. The dresses still have the price tags on them. I thought about the dresses in my closet.
"Oh no!" I clapped a hand over my mouth. "I need to buy a dress!" Those just aren't the right kind of dress for a formal event.
I jumped out of bed and looked at my chaotic schedule for the day. I wanted to scream. I have to teach cycle until 10:30, go to a baby shower at 1:00(I just realized I forgot to buy that gift!) and then dinner by 4:00. Now, I have to buy not only a dress but a baby shower gift as well.
I really haven't been planning very good lately!

Oh my! How could I procrastinate like this?! I'm not a procrastinator!
I teach my class and find myself stuck in great conversation when I looked up at the clock. It's almost 11:00. Yikes! I gather my gym bag and say goodbye quickly and lock the door to the cycle room. I rush out to my car and drive as fast as I can without risking a ticket. I rush into the house, jump in the shower and quickly dress. No time for makeup now. It's almost 11:30. The mall is where I end up buying a dress. My boyfriend calls meanwhile and asks me to a quick lunch. He buys me a pair of heels before I dash off to buy a gift for the mother to be. It's so hard to leave him, but I have to get to that baby shower. I call my aunt to let her know I'm running late. I cannot believe I have fallen so far behind in schedule. This is crazy!
Finally, I make it to the shower and it is a blast! We sit chatting about baby Jack and the joys of pregnancy. Suddenly, the conversation has shifted to me. I plead with my aunts to keep the focus on the mother to be and she says "Oh no, take the lime light. I don't like it!"
"Ughh," I think silently. Neither do I.
"So, it's a fancy restaurant?" My aunt asks.
"So, it's a fancy restaurant?" My aunt asks.
"I would guess so. I don't know much, just that we are going to dinner and climbing stairs because I had to buy a short heeled shoe," I laughed. I know what they are thinking.
"He's going to propose." Soft giggles fill the room. I feel my cheeks getting hotter.
"No he's not," I said, rolling my eyes. Secretly, I hoped he proposes. "He told me that he was going to start taking me out and surprising me. We are going to haunted houses after dinner."
"Uh huh," she said, smirking.
"Whatever, I'm not getting my hopes up." I looked at the clock. "Oh no! I'm gonna be late!"
Quickly, I dashed out the door and jumped in my car after saying a few goodbyes. I rushed home and straight into the bathroom to get myself ready. In the rush at the mall, I had bought three dresses. I really wanted to "wow" him. I am ready with three minutes to spare and I sigh with relief.
He walks into the room and I melt. He is absolutely handsome. We both stand smiling for a moment and then he walks up to me me.
"Wow," he says. "You are beautiful." Before I could say anything, his lips brush over mine and I am putty.
He moves back a step and I can see the lost puppy look in his eyes. My cheeks burn and I giggle.
He takes my hand and walks with me out to the car. He opens my door for me. A perfect gentleman. And we are off to the restaurant.
Dinner was enjoyable with having the perfect company across from me. The food was pretty good too. We talked, laughed and never stopped smiling throughout dinner.
After paying for our meal, we walked back to the car, again he opened my door for me. Before I slid in, he gave me another one of those heart melting kisses.
This man has captured my soul. Maybe one day soon, he will propose.
