You arrive ten minutes early. I haven't finished getting ready.
"The door's unlocked!" I yell from my bedroom, "Come in."
You enter and wipe your shoes. I finish putting on a touch of make-up and exit my room. I smile as I see you and give you a big hug, planting a kiss on your lips.
"Ready?" You ask.
I nod and move to the door. You follow. I lock the door behind you as we step outside. You open the car door for me and close it once I'm settled.
The drive to your home is short. I feel myself begin to get slightly wet as I wonder what you have planned. You tell me to wait when we arrive. I watch as you run inside.
It seems like hours, but was only minutes before you return and ask me to come in. I hurry inside, anxious to discover your plans. My eyes take in the light of many flickering candles around the room. Soft Celtic music plays in the background.
You guide me to the dining room. The table is set for a romantic meal. Two candles sit on the table; one at each end. A plate of hot food sits at each setting.
"It looks wonderful." I say as you pull the chair out for me to sit.
I settle myself and spread the cloth napkin across my lap. I wait until you are settled to begin to eat. The food is very good. You cook well. We chat quietly as we eat.
You clear the plates when we are finished and put the in the kitchen. You snuff out the candles and guide me to another room. The music still plays. I now smell the scent of incense. You pull me into a passionate kiss before I can take in everything.
