Excerpt:
We walked inside the restaurant
of the very small Angelo’s. It was busy because it was a Saturday night. The
walls were painted a very dark red and each table was outfitted with a matching
red table cloth with a lit candle sitting on top of it.
“Very romantic, Mr. Mitchell.”
“I try my best, Miss Scott.” The
waitress walked over and took us to a very small, quiet booth in the back of
the restaurant. When we reached it there were a dozen white roses sitting
there. I was confused, had he planned this?
“Drake, you have already given me
flowers. This is too much.”
“I can never give you enough. I
want to give you the world. Do you know what the white rose signifies?” He
pulled me down into the booth with him.
“I don’t, but they are just as
beautiful as the red ones you gave me.”
“The white rose signifies purity
and innocence. The red rose signifies love, beauty, courage, and respect. And
together they signify unity. Baby, you are those things to me. You are my
heart.” He kissed the back of my hand. “You are as pure as the driven snow.” He
kissed it again. “And you are as beautiful as an angel descending from heaven.”
Drake’s eyes danced with hope and love. I could see that he truly loved me.
Where did this man come from? Tears were beginning to form in my eyes.
“And together,” he pulled out a
single white rose and a single red one and laced the stems together. “We are
strong. We can’t be broken.” By the time he finished I was a blubbering fool. I
was so happy in that exact moment.
“I love you with all my heart,”
he whispered lovingly. I closed my eyes
and savored his every word. I hadn’t ever known love like this. I never wanted
to let it go.
“Baby, you ok?”
“Yes. I love you so much. I can’t
believe you did this. My makeup is probably running.” I wiped the tears from my
eyes. Who knows what I look like right now, but I couldn’t help it. This was
just all too wonderful not to cry.
