The wind blew gently in her hair, caressing her face. The evening sun was descending gracefully as its rays bathed the square in a comforting orange glow. The fountain stood in the center of the square marking a focal point of all the social activities going on.
"Where is he?" She wondered to herself as she glanced around the square again. She wished he would appear already but for the moment it will remain as a wish.
Thoughts of their brief moments together drifted lazily in and out of her consciousness. His smile. The way he looks when he's processing a hard bit or information. His passion for his music. She smiled to herself, betraying her emotions just for a little while.
Time couldn't seem to go any faster. *******************
Time couldn't be any faster.
It seemed like it took an eternity to get to the next traffic light. Every turn, road and crossing seemed to take longer and longer.
"Just a little more."
He stopped just a bend away to catch his breath, he didn't want to appear panting. He took a split moment to straighten out his shirt. Nothing to fancy, just a shirt and jeans.
"Here goes."
He turned the bend and he spotted her straight away.
Stunning. Literally. It was as if his mind paused to admire the sight before it. Simple, just a white dress down to the knees and a hair clip to keep her fringe to her right. Yet so lovely and... and... and stunning!
Everything bit of mental preparation washed down the drain as he stammered.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." He finally managed to say. "Its okay. I didn't wait long." Her face broke out in a radiant smile. When she realised that she was looking straight into his eyes, she quickly turned away. "I didn't mind. It was worth it." The last part she mumbled to no one in particular as shyness crept unto her face.
"Erm, this is for you." He held out the single stem rose. Cliche no doubt, but the meaning was more important. She took it without a word and spun the rose around, looking at its crimson petals though her mind really was on the giver than the gift.
"Thanks."

Her face was expressionless. I looked at her stare at her rose. No smile, no giggle, no longing in her eyes. Just nothing.

People who don't celebrate v-day sometimes annoy me. People should! Its like why we celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, Easter and Christmas! People who don't celebrate it just because everyone else does or worse will laziness, is just... annoying!
It should be a special day to remember the special relationship. Its not right to say everyday can be V-day. Because its special! Everyday, a relationship should grow and have new and special moments. And on V-day should be a special day to remember and celebrate that relationship!
I detest the commercialization. But V-day itself shouldn't be disliked.
Celebrate it! Even though everyone else is doing it, don't let it stop you.
