I met him at the coffee shop  a few blocks away from my house.  He was tall, had a shade of brown hair and those gorgeous blue eyes. Knowing my clumsiness, I drop my hot latté on his white shirt.
“ Oh my gosh, I’m soo sorry.” I apologized as soon as I realized what happen.
“ It’s okay. It was my fault anyway.”He replied.  I caught his eye and started to blush.
He noticed my blushing, and said “ My name’s Lucas.”
“Rebecca.” I managed to choke out my name. “ I guess your new here?”
“Yeah, just arrived. I figured that , I explore the town for a little.” He replied.
“ Do you want to pay for the damage?” I stuttered.
“Nahh, it’s okay. Unless…” he stopped and start thinking.“You go on a date with me.”
“Sure.” I started to walk out.
‘YES YES YES ! HE ASKED ME OUT! ‘ I thought.
“Wait! I did’nt get your number.” He said catching up with me, I wrote down my number on a tissue and gave it to him. “ I’ll call you later?”
“Sure.”
At exactly 15 minutes later, some unknown number called.
“I said , I would call.” The  caller who is none other than Lucas.
“ Yeah , you did.”
“ Pick you up at 7?” He asked.
“ Sure, but you don’t know my address.” I said.
“ Well, lucky for me. Your living opposite of me.” I could tell that his winking.
“I guess you are.” I saw him waving at me, while I look out the window.

“ Hey! What’ cha thinking?” Lucas smirked, while driving to my surprise date.
“ Well, I was thinking about this guy who had this gorgeous blue eyes and had shades of brown in his hair.” I said dreamingly.
His smile turn to a frown.  Before he could protest,“ I was thinking about you, dummy.” I hit him playfully.
“ Ohh, when we first met? The day you poured latte on me?” He said, remembering our memories.
“Yeah.”  I agreed.
“ I guess we’re here.” He said parking in a unfamiliar parking lot.
“ Where are we?” On cue he covered my eyes with a blindfold and guide me to the destination.
“ Lucaaas, you know I hate surprises.” I whined.
“ Just a little bit longer…” he said. “ And we’re here.” He let go of my hand and untie my blindfold.

The place was beautiful, it was a park. My eye caught a picnic basket with strawberries. A LOT of strawberries.
“ You like it?” Lucas said, wrapping his hands around my waist.
“ I love it.” I replied.
“ Happy 1st Anniversary .” He whispered in my ear and kissed me softly on the lips.
He lifted me off the ground, and said “ I love you.”
“ I love you, too.” I kissed him again but yet passionately.  “ You make me crazy in love with you.”
