Vacation

He had been planning their vacation as a couple for a while now. He had seen to it that She had no clue about his plans. He was excited to see how She would react to his surprise. He had called her in the afternoon and asked her to meet him for dinner at the restaurant where they met. She promptly agreed, but She was quite curious at his odd suggestion. She told her boss, She would be leaving early. She gathered her things and headed towards the restaurant. She arrived there just in time; He sat there at their favourite table looking very nervous. He saw her and touched the envelope holding the tickets inside his jacket. He opened his arms wide and She rushed in. As She sat down, He kept standing. He said sitting on one knee, “My love, I never thought I would find someone who would love travelling as much as I do.

She had been dreaming planning her vacation for months. It would be the first solo trip, She was excited. She had just finished checking in her baggage when She bumped into him.

As She buckled into her seat, She wished She would be alone. But faith had other plans. He was the last passenger to board the plane, and He gave her a big smile as He sat down in the seat next to her.

He said something that was just amazing. “I am sorry about earlier, its just I saw your absolutely stunning smile at the counter and I kind of got caught up in the moment”…

He had been finishing the final touches to the tattoo as He heard a chime at the store’s front. He called out for the person to wait and after He was done with his customer, He headed out. He was famous for his designs all over the city, as He catered only to passing tourists. He believed that it kept things interesting. He heard stories from people from all walks of life. She came to him, after several references from all of her friends who had visited Sao Palo. She introduced herself and explained how She wanted to get a special design as a memory of her first vacation. He stood their stunned at how beautiful She was. For a few minutes, He was so spellbound, He hardly said a word. She shook him out of it, and showed him the design. He mentally told himself, even though it would be ethically wrong, He would drag out his session with her. And once He saw the beautiful ink work on her wrist that matched his own, He knew for sure She was the one He had been waiting for…
