First Dinner

We had decided to spend the whole day together. So much had happened the day before, we decided that this would be our clean slate. And it was. I didn't realize it then, how important that day and night would become to us. You didn't go to work that day, there was no appointment, nothing to do, but stay in all day. We woke up late in the morning, I made breakfast. We went back to bed. I don't know how I can recll every moment, but I do. We talked, watched movies, had long sex sessions. We had time for everything, and time went by so fast. When we realized it, it was almost dinner time and we didn't have anything to cook at home. So we both decided, both unconsciously and at the same time, that this would be our first "official" meal together. No one said it, but we knew. We knew this would be the first of many to come. We came back from the market, I decided I was cooking. You went to the bedroom and stayed there, talking to friends, watching a movie. I decided I wanted to prepare an unforgettable meal with the very limited means we had. I tried, I don't think what we ate was unforgettable, but every moment was. Two hours later, I had dinner ready, on a table set with small candles and a beach towel serving as a table towel. I called you, you had a glance at the table and you went back to the bedroom. I started hearing a James Blunt song, I will absolutely never forget which one it was. You came back to the room, came closer to me, held me softly and said "thank you". Such a small sentence, but so sincere. I felt it was, I know it was. I still remember what we ate, what we drank. Maybe with time those details will fade. But the one thing time will never erase from my mind is the way you made me feel that evening. You made me feel that was the beginning of something beautiful. It was. And ever since, each time I hear "You're Beautiful" I will remember the goosebumps you gave me for that minute you held me and kissed me. That one minute that will last a lifetime.
