Everyday


There is one Valentine’s Day that stands out from the rest. My girlfriend’s name was Tricia. She was my first college girlfriend. Our relationship was great and I was looking forward to our first Valentines Day. Which was why I was concerned when she started spending a little more time with her male friend Blake. They were friends before we met and he seemed like a nice guy. Tricia was everything I could want in a girlfriend so it was hard to think that anything was going on between them. I spoke with some of my friends and they did not help the situation. Especially when they told me they saw the two of them together buying candles, flowers and things like that. I didn’t say anything, but it was on my mind. Valentine’s Day comes and Tricia tells me that she has something to do before we meet so it’ll be a couple of hours. She calls me and tells me where to meet her. I leave home to meet her and I run into a mutual friend of ours and they ask if Tricia and I are still seeing each other. I respond “Yeah, why do you say that?” They tell me that they saw her and Blake together dressed up a few minutes ago. Needless to say I was upset, but I didn’t want to make a scene or jump to any conclusions. I met her in the lobby of Atrium and she took me to where we were having dinner. I walked in and what did I see? It was a candle lit table for two and Blake was dressed as a waiter. He seated us. His girlfriend was also there and she helped serve us. I was blown away. Flowers were all around the table. After we ate, Blake and his girlfriend played the piano and violin while we danced in a candlelit room. Needless to say, I was impressed and embarrassed for even doubting her. Even though I got her a gift, I spent the next three days giving her gifts just to let her know that she was special to me every day.
