I am 20 years old and every morning I wish that I could walk down the stairs of my house and sit down at the kitchen table with a plate of pancakes, or waffles waiting for me. That is what I wish because I now live in an apartment with my boyfriend who can’t cook. His name is Andrew.
Well today my dream of the pancakes or waffles kind of came true.
It was a Saturday morning, I woke up to the sound of the birds chirping in the trees. I went out to get my daily breakfast. Which was cereal. I walked out into my extremely small kitchen and on the table was a card and some roses. I read the card, it said,
Roses are red, Violets are blue.
But honey sometimes you need to have a special day too.
Love
AndrewIt was cute but I didn't think it made that much since. Then in small print there was another note that said,
Be ready for 10:30am. There will be a Limo waiting for you in front of the apartment building. (Dress Fancy or Nice)
I was surprized. I looked at the clock. In big green, glowing numbers it said 10:20am. It took a while to readjuster. Then before I knew it I was in my closet. I looked and looked I took my three best dresses.
I figured that the black dress was to Bling Bling. So it was between the purple and red dresses. The red dress was my sisters but she died when I was 10 years old. So I decided to wear it.
I put on the dress and quickly curled my long brown hair. I put on the shoes that went with the dress.
I applied some eye shadow and mascara. I put some lipstick on and headed down stairs. When I got down stairs my limo was there. It was huge! It was long and white.
We drove for about 15 minutes and then it stopped. The door opened. There were lights and a red carpet. I stepped out of the limo and on to it... I walked down the red carpet and into the restaurant. It was very fancy.
I could see Andrew. He was in a suit with a flower in the pocket. A white flower. He was holding a rose. He said "Good morning my lady."He sounded very formal. I said good morning and he escorted me to our table. The lights dimmed as I walked.
A waiter came over and placed my napkin on my lap. Then suddenly another waiter came out with a cup of coffee and some sugar and milk. She placed it in front of me. She did the same for Andrew.
Then another waiter came out with a silver platter and put it in front of me and opened it up and said in a very French act sent "Bon Appetite!" He did the same with Andrew.
Under the beautiful silver platter was 3 pancakes stacked. Syrup was dripping down the sides and on the sides was some fresh cut fruit.
"Andrew what is all this for?"
"You will see." He said.
We ate and when we finished they brought us some freshly made scones. They were warm. I cut mine in half and put some butter on it.
Suddenly Andrew took my hands and said to me "Holly. I have been thinking. We have been together for 3 and half years."
"Yes." I said feeling nervous.
"Holly, will you marry me?" He said. He took out a small purple velvet box and opened it. Inside was a small silver ring with 2 small diamonds on it.
"Yes." I said.
He slipped the ring on my finger. We stood up and kissed.
That is the meal I will never forget.
