Every Valentineās Day feels like a rerun of the year before. The same not-so-original gifts are given, the nice dinner is always eaten, and sex is always had⦠not that Iām complaining. I just wanted to give him something different and unexpected this year. Something that I knew heād love and never forget.
Heās usually the one who plans the evening, but this time I made the reservations at a hotel restaurant and booked a room for us upstairs. I bought him one of the usual Valentineās Day gifts ā a pair of black silk boxers with red hearts on them and an Italian watch heād been eyeing for the past three months. Aside from me doing all the planning, everything was going as usual. I was wearing a backless shin-length red dress with spaghetti straps resting on my shoulders. It was made from a glittery fabric that sparkled a little when the light hit it. Underneath I wore nothing. I pulled out the suit I wanted him to wear that night ā including the silk boxers. We both got dressed then headed over to the restaurant.
We sat at the candlelit table surrounded by other couples just like did last year and every year before. We drank the same champagne, talked the same conversation, said the same āI Love Youās.ā Everything was going as normal. It was sweet and romantic, but at the same time completely expected and predictable. After we finished our entrĆ©eās he slid a red velvet box across the table. I opened it to find a beautiful platinum necklace in the shape of heart lined in diamonds. It was gorgeous! He stood up and put it on me. When he sat down I gave him the watch that I had bought ā which he of course loved. It was the exact one heād been wanting. We ordered desert and I told him I wanted to go the restroom to look at my new necklace. While I was up, I made a quick call to make sure his Valentineās Day surprise was ready. When I got back to the table, the dessert had just arrived. I told him that I had a surprise waiting for him in our room upstairs but heād have to wait to find out what it was. We finished our desserts then quickly headed toward the elevator with anticipation. I was anxious to see the look on his face, and he was anxious to see what his surprise was.
