I sit at the bar, expecting someone that I have never met before. Yet another blind date that I have been set up on. A woman can only sit at home for so long you know. I am wearing a sleek, but simple black dress that shows off my best features. I look down at my watch, and I see that you should be here anytime. I take a sip of my daiquiri and look toward the door, taking a deep breath. I expect it to open at any time, and you will be walking through it. I see the door open and am disappointed when a couple walks through the door. I look away, just for a second, and then I feel eyes on me. You are looking at me with questioning eyes. You are holding a white rose and I smile shyly at you and you start to come toward me. I am thinking to myself that this has to be a mistake, that this handsome guy can't be my date.
You reach me and you ask, "Are you Dawn?" I reply that yes I am and offer you the stool next to mine. You hand me the rose and say that you are Jay. You say that you have heard nothing but good things about me, your eyes never leaving mine. I suggest that we grab a table where we can have privacy. You ask me if I would like a refill and I say yes. You order yourself a beer, get me another daiquiri, and we sit at a corner booth. We talk for a few minutes. We talk as if we have been friends for years. You look at your watch and say that if we don't leave now we will lose our reservations.
We leave the bar, your hand at the small of my back. You reach around me and open my door. As I slide into your car, you lean down and place a soft kiss against my lips. You shut my door and I smile to myself as you go around to your side of the car. After you get into the car and shut the door, you lean over, drawing me to you with your hand. You give me another kiss that lingers just a little. You feel my pulse quicken as you make circles on my neck with your thumb. You smile at me as you pull away and say that if we don't leave now we will never get to the restaurant in time.
We arrive at the restaurant and we are seated in a secluded spot in the back. The table is lovely. There is soft candlelight and a bottle of wine chilling. I ask you with my eyes how this can be and you just wink at me. You pull my chair out for me and place a kiss against my throat, my pulse quickens and I sigh. I can feel you smiling as you go around to your chair. You look into my eyes as the waiter appears to take our order. We order the house specialty. The meal is superb, the wine warming, and my date is charming. Our hands play with each other, fingers interlinking. The band plays Chances Are. You offer me your hand and I take it. We glide out on the dance floor, feeling every pair of eyes on us. We only have eyes for each other and we fit perfectly together as we sway to the music. Your arms are around my waist and my head is against your chest. I breathe in your scent and everyone disappears but us. The music stops and we go back to the table. You ask me if I would like dessert and I look into your eyes and say that I have something more to your liking at my place. You smile at my comment and we leave the restaurant.
