saw you, I realized you are different meaning that in a good way.   Once I recognized you seeing you at Denny’s place I felt compelled to actually meet you. At the bank your hair was up, that night at Denny’s you let your hair down.” he smirks, “That made me feel like”, he looks up to the sky,  “alive for the first time.”  I like how you just want to enjoy life for what is given to you.  It may sound weird but you appreciate it.”
    “Really..um well thank you I guess, I like to think that of myself but I don’t think anyone else has put it to me that way!” Surprised but exhilarated at the same time.
    Just then both our cell phones ring rolling her eyes, bad timing damn cell phones.  He grins at her; she swears he is thinking the same thing.  She grabs her phone out of her purse as he grabs his to answer it.
    “Hi Tiffany what’s up?” turning to glance at Nathan as he answers his.
    “Just checking to see if you are still coming out with us, we headed out to lunch already and we are by the mall, do you want to meet us here?
    “Well, let me check, I am at the marina with Nathan right now.” Not wanting this day to ever end I’ll call you back shortly OK?”
    “OK, Cool, I’ll be waiting impatiently to hear how your ‘ coffee’ date went!” she giggles, “Talk to you soon!”
    Tiffany hangs up and Nathan is still on his phone with his back to her. Respecting his privacy she looks out towards the incoming boats.   When he completes his conversation, he turns but looks irritated.  Puzzled by his looks she scowl slightly.
    “Is everything OK?”
    He shakes his head “No, there are things I need to take care of that I’m not happy about.  I really hate to cut this day short since I am really enjoying my time with you but I need to get back and make some phone calls.  I’m really sorry.”
    “That’s OK, I was supposed to hook up with Tiffany and Mikey anyways she just called.” Also feeling like she doesn’t want this day to.
    He looks relieved but saddened at the same time.  We start heading back to the car when suddenly, he brightens up; with a handsome grin he says “What are you doing tomorrow?”
    ”Well, I was planning on finishing my essay by tonight for my final paper on Monday, but I’m sure I can finish it tonight since it’s mostly done.” Being the practical one as Tiffany always says, always getting her work done.
    “Great, can I steal you away for a couple of hours?  I have a really nice idea, what time are you free on Sunday?” He has that same boyish face wanting to show me something new.  It is absolutely adorable totally irresistible.
    “How about 11am, does that work for you?” she asks
    “Perfect, may I pick you up? I don’t want to upset lud.” We both laugh giving him her address.  He is so sweet but tells her he already put her cell number into his phone when she called him this morning so she won’t be shocked if he calls her.
    He drops her off back at her car, but she notices a slight frown of concern, “You seem upset, is there something you want to talk about?”
    He smiles but he shakes his head” No just things I need to take care of, just business, OK?  Hey by the way be prepared to go out on a boat tomorrow, it’s still a surprise but I don’t want to leave you unprepared! “Looking into his eyes melting away, she is prepared for anything with you . 
    He gently raises his hand stroking her cheek; “Brandy, I can’t believe you are real, I need that and want this so much” He pulls her into him kissing her lips oh so gently but passionately.   His lips are so soft; her body instinctively reacts to his warm touch putting her hand into his hair embracing the moment of that long awaited first kiss.  Our tongues search each other’s mouth he tastes is divine. We both pull away breathlessly, as she gazes into his eyes; feeling a longing that she has never felt before right down to her inner soul. “Until tomorrow?” he
