Whether you are in a 25-year marriage or a first "date", this original story should give you some great ideas for how to seduce your mate. Read on...
The sun begins over the horizon of mountains joined by rolling valleys and pine forests. It falls down below the edge of the earth as evening approaches. The fresh pine air drifts past you as a gentle breeze from the river valley cleanses your soul. The perfect escape... No signs of civilization within sight, sound, or even mind... Loneliness stirs emotions in your head that can only be suppressed but for so long. He has been gone for what seems like an eternity. Your anxiety builds as it approaches his long awaited return. At this shining moment, you decide to celebrate this meeting in an extraordinary way tonight. You walk along the wrap-around balcony and at that moment, an idea strikes... you go to the cupboard and grab an old wooden basket and head to the back yard.
There in front of you are perfect tall rows of the most delicious strawberries you have seen in years. This was a good year for strawberries as if someone above was giving you a gift for all of your hard work through the years of the horrendous drought. He has always loved strawberries. Not as much as pears, but because of the dry seasons and short harvest time, he would always pick them up from the market on the way home from work. You can almost see his face now as these impure thoughts come over you about what you will do to surprise your knight in shining armor. You then realize that he will be home in less than an hour. Quickly, you select a few more berries from the patch, then race inside as if your life depended on everything being perfect.
The time is quickly approaching as you put new sheets on the bed; slightly folding back the top lay and fluffs the pillows. The drapes are drawn back to give off a soft glow from the sun setting over the mountain range. When he built the house, he made sure that you got your dream of the French swinging doors out to a balcony opening to the view of the mountains. You had always been afraid to settle because you wanted to do so much more for yourself than your mother did. You have never spoken of this fear. The open view of the world with the sheer curtains in the window floating like angels in the winds of your soul, gives you the feeling of an escape, even if only for a moment. A flash comes over you. Twenty minutes left and you haven't even gotten dressed. You scurry back in to attempt to do something with your hair and you haven't even begun to think of what to wear. "What about makeup?" Panic begins to set in. Just as you set the CD player with the programmed music, you hear the truck come up the driveway.
You know from all the times it has hurt you to see him leave for work and excited upon his arrival, it takes exactly 1 minute and 36 seconds for the key to hit the door from the time the truck door slams shut. When your whole life revolves around your one true love, you tend to notice these things. You take a deep breath as you realize you actually have seconds to spare. The front door slowly creaks open... He enters the house wondering where you are, because during his approach to the front door, there were no lights from the TV glowing blue through the bay window like normal nights. The first thing he sees is two candles dimly flickering as if they were dancing a mellow waltz. Between the candles is a note that you had left for him.
It reads:
Hey Honey, Thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for having me. Thank you for giving me the love that I so much need, but don't deserve. Thank you.
Follow the signs and you will soon understand how much I appreciate everything you have ever done for me. Signed, Me
