Special Holiday Romance (Part VI)

Later that evening, she shows up and spends the evening with him. From then on, after she returned from her job on Ship Island, she would come and visit him. His foot healed after a couple of weeks. He was finally able to ask her out on a real date. He took her dancing. She was surprised at how good he could dance. On the first floor of his condo was a piano. He played it for her. She laughed," Isn't there anything that you can't do?" He put one hand on his head and the other on his stomach." As much as I've tried, I can't pat my head and turn my hand in circles on my stomach."
" Good! At least I can do something that you can't!" She stood up and put her hands on her stomach and head. She patted her head and rubbed her stomach with no problem. They laughed and had a good time.
After a couple of months, they both knew that they were madly in love with each other.
He had known from the beginning that he was in love with her. The moment that their eyes met, it was love for him. He knew in his heart that she was the one he was looking for.
He decided that it was time to let her know how he felt about her. She comes over one evening and they take a walk on the beach. They walked along as the waves lapped at the shore. He stops and faces her as he held both of her hands. She smiles as they stare into each other's eyes. He was nervous but knew how she felt about him. He could feel it inside like a warm feeling. He finally musters the courage and says," I guess there is no other way to say it but this way. I love you Noel. I have from the day I met you. I didn't want to go on any longer without you knowing that." She puts her arms around his neck and replies," I love you to, darling! I guess we both already knew that but I have loved you for just as long. The day I met you I knew you were the man I was waiting for." They hold each other for a while and turn and kiss. It was a slow, I don't want to ever stop, kiss. They turn as they smile at each other and continue on their walk on the moonlit beach. As the weeks go by, their love for each other grows stronger each day.
