As we walked on the roads we barely knew, we crossed upon a jewelry store. They had beautiful displays of sets of necklaces. I had my eyes glued to them, with my hands on the cold frosted glass window. He was two steps in front of me when he realized I made a stop, which he then gazed directly in my direction. Walking back towards me, he asked "found something you're fond of ?". I giggled and replied, "you know me, I fall in love with cute things easily".
He gave me a warm smile, putting his scarf around my hands, "you should really wear your gloves, what's the point of having them if you don't use them ?", he said with an irritated expression on his face. I didn't want to upset him even more but I reacted instantly saying "geez, it's not a big deal, you were smiling a while ago. You're not exactly wearing gloves yourself".
With the awkward atmosphere around us, he grabbed my waist and pulled me close, he placed his icy cold hand on my head, running his fingers through my hair, & gave me a light kiss on my forehead. "I'm sorry, I don't want you to turn into ice" he said with a grin. It can't be helped, he was too cute, my cheeks started to heat up and the next thing I know, they were flushing red. Completely embarrassed, I looked away into the necklace I had set my heart to.
"You know what's funny, I don't even wear necklaces but I want this one so bad", I pointed at the long, white gold, thin chained necklace with a small coin shaped pendant. It has no designs or stones on it, yet it was so elegant in a way I couldn't explain. He nodded in agreement of my statement I think and he quickly took a glimpse of his watch, "we should make a move, we don't wanna be late for our reservation dinner do we ?". I guess he was right, he did made a reservation at a very exclusive restaurant for our date that night. Even though I hated to rush, it was my fault that I didn't let him stop by the gas station and his car ran out of fuel.
After a few minutes of what i call a not-much-of-a-run, we actually made it to this huge building supposedly belong to the owner of the restaurant. At the entrance, a guy with a well dressed suit came up to us and offered to guide us to our table. I didn't say a word, I was overwhelmed with the amazing aura of that particular restaurant. I did put on a big smile though. We passed through a bunch of wealthy looking customers having dinner and we were directed to an opened glass elevator. Without any hesitation, he went in, pulling me, hand in hand.
We stopped at highest floor which was the rooftop of the building. The moment I saw the whole arrangement of the rooftop, my eyes just sparkled like diamonds. It has the most fascinating garden I have ever seen in my life. With beautiful greens and colourful flowers surrounding a table occupied with lighted candles. It was ridiculous. I was beyond speechless, but he on the other hand, wore the most incredible smile, even in his eyes.
I felt like I was being treated similar to a princess, the food was magnificent, the weather was just nice for us, he really made me feel like I'm all his and he can do whatever he wants with me cause he is flawlessly topnotch. We talked a little and laughed a lot when he then suddenly took my hands and kissed them. He took out a small vintage musical box and said "it's for you, I think you would very much like it".
I slowly reached for the music box and opened it. To my shock, it has a nice melody that gave me chills, a little and more importantly, a necklace was inside. It was the necklace I said I wanted earlier. It was not possible, I thought. How can he have bought something I would love and I just happen to see it before he hands it to me ? With all those thoughts, I picked up the pendent and noticed it has been engraved. The front of the coin has an engraved illusion of a flower, like a sakura flower. And on its back, it has both mine & his name on it. I cried.
He came over to my side and gave me a firm hug. I stood up to give him a kiss which I had to tip toe to do so. Then, he mischievously laughed and said "I will always be here to protect you, you're my little flower, my strength and my weakness".
He gave me my first ever necklace, he is now my loving husband.
