Many years ago my university dorm had an event for residents to select secret sweethearts for Valentine's Day. I was living on an all male floor and we exchanged notes with women from an all female floor during the week leading up to the big day. We didn't know who had picked us but we knew whom we had picked. The names were initially selected randomly but I exchanged my pick with another guy on my floor because he had drawn the name of a girl that I had a crush on. I found out later the woman that ended up with my name had also done an exchange to get me. So each of us was very motivated to make it a special week to impress our secret sweethearts.
I did my best to make an impression that week. But my secret sweetheart did even more. She was constantly sending me love notes and little things that really piqued my interest. I couldn't wait to meet her. We had a mixer for the big reveal. Anne picked me and I picked Patti.
It turned out that Patti was already in a relationship so nothing came out of our meeting. Anne was not and she was super nice to me. I thanked her and told her I would do something special for her. I liked Anne, however, all we did together that spring was occasionally talk and go on one date with a group of people. I was more interested in another woman I met in the dorm and I was soon seeing her.
Anne and I were both away from the college for the summer but we ran into each other in the same dorm when school started again in September. We talked and she asked me my room number. I was still working my summer job so I was busy and did not ask her out.
The following Saturday night was a football night for our school. We were highly rated and there was a lot of excitement. I didn't go to the game because I had to catch up on my studies since I had been working long hours as my summer job was coming to an end.
I heard a soft knock at my door close to 11:00. I was surprised to see Anne. She had been to the game and we had won. She was giggly and it was obvious she had been drinking. She came in, hugged me and then sat down on my bed. She asked where my roommate Gary was. I told her he was gone for the weekend. She smiled and leaned over to kiss me. We kissed and then she asked me if I remembered what I had promised her last February.
Anne looked very attractive that night with her golden brown hair falling on her shoulders, her bright blue eyes and her engaging smile. She was wearing tight jeans but a blouse that did not reveal her figure. I asked her to remind me and she said "You promised you would do something special for me." I said "Yes I did say that." She said "I'm still waiting."
