Dave looked at the lady seated behind the wheels and couldn't help but smile. It was only their third date and here she was already dropping him off at home. From any other person, it would've been an embarrassing experience for him, in fact it had almost been initially but he'd come to realize that Anna was different.
There was always a completely different vibe about her which he'd never gotten from any other lady. She was beautiful, smart, intelligent, most importantly intentional and beautiful. Hold on he'd already thought of the word beautiful, if he didn't know any better he'd probably have thought he was in love and rambling in his thoughts. Good thing she couldn't hear what was going on in his mind.
As Dave glanced at her one more time, he thought And what was wrong with falling in love with a beautiful woman?
Almost immediately, he answered his own question Because she's way out of your league dude.
Anna was way richer than he was even though she never acted it. At least that was how he'd always viewed her, perhaps he'd summon up the courage and give it a try.
All of these thoughts and more were going on in Dave's mind, while Anna struggled to concentrate on her driving. It took all of her strength of will to continue acting oblivious to the unusual attention Dave was paying her.
He kept glancing at her whenever he thought she wasn't watching and she was a hundred percent sure there was a lot more than butterfly activity going on in her stomach.
Pity, he seemed like the slow to act type and wasn't taking advantage of all the various shades of light she'd been flashing him over the past two months since they'd met.
She glanced this time around and caught him looking at her.
"You're staring young man"
" Am I? Young lady" he replied. 'Perhaps I'm seeing something that I like" he added
"And what might that be dear sir?" Anna asked
Just the most beautiful woman ever Dave replied.
Now that's more like it Anna thought as she turned a shade of red.
'I'm sure you see quite a lot of beautiful women everyday, what makes this one so special" she managed to reply
"I want her to be mine"
The world revolved around lots of coincidences everyday, but Anna just couldn't believe that was the case with Dave. It had to be fate.
It was almost like yesterday, two months ago when she'd gotten into her car ready to go to work only to realize it wouldn't start. It was either stay back home, which wasn't possible or take a cab. Anna eventually did the five minutes walk from her house to the estate gate because cabs were never allowed into the estate.
She was waiting for a cab when she spotted a handsome young man just a few paces from her, he looked like he was waiting to get transportation as well. Just as they both stood there, a young boy walked up to the man begging for something to eat.
Anna watched as he searched through his pockets, bringing out what looked like all the money he had and gave it to the boy. A few moments later, he was on the phone with someone who seemed like his boss claiming to be sick and unable to come in.
A cab soon stopped in front of her and just as she was about to get in, she instead walked up to him with her hands thrust forward.
"Hi my name is Anna"
"Hi Anna, my name is Dave" he replied flashing her a radiant smile.
In that moment, he didn't know it yet, but she was his.
Her hands felt like lead holding the steering wheel at this point as she glanced at Dave once again
"Yes"
"Yes what?" he asked looking a bit confused
"Yes to your next question" Anna answered
"Anna, will you be my girlfriend?"
Anna was still nodding her head to the question as her car sped on towards his place.
This was the moment that would change everything.
