Half an hour later we where teasing each other in front of the mirror. Trying to get some space to adjust make-up and to do our hair.

“You know you never have these kind of struggles with a man!” Catherine exclaimed frustrated when I pushed her aside once again. I sent her a gap toothed grin and tried to straighten my hair.

“Nope you won’t have these struggles, but the ***** isn’t half as good either.” I said with a huge grin.

“Well you’re right about that, are you almost ready or what?” She asked while she leaned against the door.

The elevator took us to ground level and we walked out hand in hand. I saw that the clerk at the front desk was observing us intently and I just couldn’t let this chance go by. I stopped Catherine and pulled her closer to me. I started kissing her in front of the clerk. I stepped forward and pulled Catherine with me as we walked out through the revolving doors I could see the clerks face turn beet red within a split second as I sent him a smile.

We walked down the street, talking softly to each other until we reached the restaurant that Catherine had seen. It was a small dark restaurant with a warm feel to it. I held the door open and let Catherine enter. She asked for a table for two and the waiter showed us the way to a small table in the back.

We sat down as the waiter lit the candle. I looked across the table towards Catherine, the flames where dancing on her face. Her beauty was the only thing that I could see. Catherine looked up at me, the flame reflecting in her eyes she smiled. The look in her eyes made me want her even more. I moved my hand towards Catherine’s over the table and just held hers in mine.

The waiter appeared at the table again and we ordered dinner. We talked for a while until dinner was served. We both ate in silence, I was thinking about my life, my relationship and the long way that I had come to find the love of my life.
