曼迪/Mandy
Still madly in love,we challenge ourselves to keep our relationship exciting,filled with surprises and most importantly the unexpected.
I still remember this day like yesterday:It was my birthday and I worked all day.I came home expecting to go out for supper with friends and get to bed early,but,my God,was I in for a surprise……
As I pulled up in the driveway I noticed a note tied to this great big teddy bear on the steps to my home.I smiled,and slowly started to open the note,it read“H”。
As I opened the door,there was my dog,waiting with another note,which read“A”。
I wondered what he was up to as I went up the stairs to the master bedroom.The bed was full of roses and there lay another note,this one read“W”。
I noticed on the night table a ring box and immediately started to tear it open……as I opened it,there was a little piece of paper with the letter“A”on it.I started to laugh and call out his name,still wondering what he was up to.
I pulled myself together and went to the kitchen looking for him or more letters.As I do every day after work,I started to make myself a cup of tea when I noticed him,waiting,as beautiful as ever,next to the front door,with the most amazing smile,the type of smile that makes you melt,and then I heard,“How was your day,my love?”
I walked towards him and smiled,and said,“Wonderful,honey.”
He asked,“Did you notice what was in the fridge?”I started to laugh and went to see.As I opened the fridge door,I saw the letters“II”on my birthday cake.
I turned to him and asked,“Honey,what are you up to?”
He replied,“Put all of those together and Im going to be waiting for you outside.”
I stood there placing the letters together……H-A-W-A-I-I!By the time I realized what I was reading and got outside,my love was standing there with my suit cases and a beautiful flower necklace ready to go……to wonderful Hawaii!
I had a wonderful time in another of lifes little wonders.
熱戀中的我們將維持激動人心的戀情視為對自己的挑戰,更重要的是,要有意外的驚喜。
我對那一天仍記憶猶新:那天是我生日。工作了一整天後,我期待著回家與朋友們外出共進晚餐,然後早早上床休息,但是,天哪,我竟遇到了驚喜……
我把車開進家門前的道上時,看到一隻大玩具熊在房前的台階上放著,熊身上係著一張紙條。我微笑著把紙條慢慢打開……上麵寫著“H”。
打開家門後,我在狗狗那裏看到另一張紙條,上麵寫著“A”。
真想知道他這是做什麽。我走上樓梯,進了主人臥室。看到**滿是玫瑰花,上麵還放著另一張紙條,這張寫著“w”。
我發現床頭櫃上有一個圓盒子,便迫不及待地把它打開……裏麵也有一張小紙條,上邊寫有字母“A”。我笑了,喊著他的名字,心中卻依然迷惑不解。
我抑製住興奮的情緒,進廚房找他或者更多的字母。就像每天下班後所做的那樣,我開始為自己泡一杯茶,這時我發現他在前門等著,如往昔一樣迷人,臉上洋溢著燦爛的笑容,那暖暖的笑容甚至能將你融化。我聽到他問道:“親愛的,生日過得怎麽樣?”
我走向他,笑道:“很好,親愛的。”
他問:“你看到冰箱裏的東西了嗎?”我笑著馬上跑過去看。冰箱門一打開,生日蛋糕上的兩個“I”字母就映入我的眼簾。
我轉過身,問他:“親愛的,這是什麽意思啊?”
他答道:“把所有的字母拚在一起看,我在外邊等你。”
我站在那裏將這些字母放在一起:H-A-W-A-I-I(夏威夷)!此時,我才恍然大悟。於是來到門外,看到他站在那裏,手上拎著行李箱和一個漂亮的花環,一切都準備好了……奔赴神奇的夏威夷!
生活中的又一個小小驚喜讓我度過了歡樂的時光。
