Chapter 11

Livie

And just like that, it’s over. Eighteen hours of pure bliss. I sit in the passenger seat of his car, his hand on my leg as mine are clasped in my lap. Last night…well, last night was a game-changer. I had wanted to go on a date with him; I even expected him to ensure it was an amazing date. What I hadn’t prepared myself for was for him to be a romantic genius. This man can conjure up things that dreams are made of. And that is exactly what he did last night. Every portion of our date was hand-picked and hand crafted by him. From his favorite restaurant that he had never taken anyone to before, to my favorite movie, then to his bed. Yet another spot that was only for me. I don’t know how you can make a girl feel more special than that.

And what do I give him to show him my appreciation? A stupid omelet. Mentally I berate myself for being such an idiot. He gives me a fresh start, a new beginning, and I give him eggs. It’s about time I put on my big-girl panties and do something for him, show him how much he means to me. It’s time I get out of my own head and give this amazing man what he has been waiting so patiently for.

Ever the gentleman, he opens the car door for me and offers me his hand to help me out. Once I am safely to my feet, he loosens his grip on my hand, just as I tighten mine on his. Hand in hand we make our way to my door, because according to Mr. Perfect Gentleman, it’s the proper way to end a first date. Personally, I prefer endings like the one he gave me in the shower this morning, but hey, I’m not going to complain.

When we finally reach my door I am still struggling with what I can say to make him feel as special as he makes me feel every day. The moment feels more poignant than it should. Technically, it was just a date. But, in reality, for us, it is so much more. I try putting together the right words, but the butterflies in my stomach have me so nervous.

“So…I, uh…I had a great time,” I stutter.

“You sure?” he laughs at the hesitation in my voice.

“Of course I’m sure,” I say. While I realize that he is only teasing me, his off-the-cuff comment also solidified what I already know. I need to give him a piece of myself that’s only for him. “I….” I turn away from him. This isn’t how I intended for this to go. I wanted it to be perfect but as usual I screwed it up. “Damn it,” I curse.

“Livie…” he says. I can hear all the questions he has tied to my name in that moment, without him even asking. His body is still. Ever patient, he gives me my space to work through whatever disaster I am currently putting us through.
