the date

that girl, she chose the black torn jeans,
and the shirt she just bought the day before
on the bed and went for a quick shower.
after, she came out in heineken singlet and
FBT shorts chilling as the time slowly passes.
each second that passes, the more nervous and
thrilled she feels. 2.40, she applies mascara and
wear the outfit that she has chosen. slowly putting
on the lowest heels that she promised, she walked
out of the house to meet him. well, on the way there
he was late, she walked around looking for an
envelope to put the christmas card and necklace in.
finally, she found it, places it in, seals it and walks around.
she decides to pass it to him at the end of the day.
so she wouldn't be embarrassed or anything.
soon he arrives. they bought the movie tickets
for les miserables at 6. meantime, they chatted at
ben and jerry's. him telling her how mainstream she is
and she just laughing it off. it went on till they have
to enter the cinema. inside, it was cold but manageable.
throughout the whole movie, she hooked her arms
around his, feeling his warmth. whispering funny things.
spotting gay couples in front of them. laughing and
being sarcastic at many things. then she bit his ear as
she remember the bet they had. he was in shocked
and kept repeating, "you bit my ear". she laughed at
his reaction. after the movie they went to get something
to eat. he wasn't hungry but she was famished. well they
ate and left for home, walking quite a distance to the bus
stop deciding halfway that they should cab. so she could
reach home faster. well, when they reached vivo, she alighted
at the same time giving him the letter and receiving a hug from him.
then i told myself,
today is the best day of the month.

there were many things left unsaid:
that the shirt she wore was new.
she was super nervous and excited to meet him.
she was so happy to be able to go out with him
glad to be able to hook arms with him
she felt blissful to have him close to her.
that all the time in the cinema when his face was
close, she was very tempted to kiss him.
being afraid that he wouldn't like her.
lastly she did not tell him, 
she was into him.
