The Day of Love
It wasn’t common that Grace pushed aside her responsabilities at work, but the occasion deserved it. She had told her daughter that she was going to work and then on a date with her boyfriend, but it was only half of the truth. At work, she only had to warn her co-workers that she’d take her day off today. And why? Because today it was her favourite day of the year.
And in the day of the lovers, Grace had big, big plans for her boyfriend. It took her an hour to buy all the ingredients, and 15 minutes to get her brother’s permission to use his kitchen and created the best Valentines chocolates of all, each one shaped differently, with many flavours and textures. Some were flowers, other planets, stars, suns and moons, and finally two figurines with the image of the two of them. the actress was pretty satisfied with the chocolates that she had created after all those hours of work, the result had been worth it. She just hoped that Makk would like them.
Once the chocolates were safely placed into a heart-shaped box, Grace took her car and drove all the way to the harbor. Today was Saturday, so she was hoping he wouldn’t have too much work after the morning. Lunchtime was approaching anyway, so…
Taking a deep breath, she knocked on his door. “Makk? Are you there? It’s me, Grace!”
"I’m coming!" he answered from the inside. It looked like he was busy, too!
Grace rushed to pick up the chocolates box from her bag, and offered it to him as soon as he opened the door. “HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, Makk!”
His eyes widened in surprise. And to think he had been working in a surprise for her, too… But it looked like Grace was going one step forward. Nothing wrong with it, though - he loved to receive presents!
"Oh wow! Thank you Grace! Happy Valentines day to you, too!" he picked up the box, admiring it. There wasn’t any brand written on it, and the chocolate scent coming from the inside was easily noticeable. Grace had to prepare these chocolate today. What a sweet gesture. Still blushing a bit, Makk wrapped one of his arms around her waist and pulled her for a passionate kiss.
Grace still melted inside every time he kissed her like this. She leaned into his touch and wrapped her arms round his shoulders, letting him have her his mercy. She knew she would be safe and happy as long as it was Makk the one holding her. After a moment, they pulled back a little at the same time to catch their breath.
"You’re such a good kisser." she whispered, winking him an eye.
"Heh, thank you. Wanna come in? It’s Valentines day… and I have some surprises for my beautiful girlfriend…"
"Oooh, sure." her smile widened. As they walked back inside the boat, she leaned a bit more on him. The winter was still cold, and his warmth always made her feel better. "I’m looking forward to see what it is."
