Happily Married (Romance and Passion) Chapter 1

Happily Married

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end. - Benjamin Disraeli

Reminisce…..

When was the last time you and your spouse went on a first date? Think. Was it a long,

long time ago? Come on think. You have to remember. True to many people that they had

butterflies in the stomach during the proverbial first date.

Alex and Nina are happily married for the past 26 years. Their first date happened 28

years ago. It was a simple dinner date on their favorite restaurant. Nina recalled that she

was very nervous. She stayed in the mirror for two long hours checking for stray hair or

crumpled dress. Her heart was beating so fast. After so many years she still feels quite

nervous every time her husband asks her out.

Did you get a little nervous? Or anxious? Ever wonder why? I suppose your heart was

beating faster, making a faint throb on your chest. You got nervous because you wanted to

make sure that everything would turn out right. The date itself was important to you. You

wanted it to be perfect.

Belle happily married for the past 13 years, stammers when she is nervous. She’s also clumsy. Don asked her out for the first time to dine. She agreed. There on the restaurant happened the most unforgettable scene in her life. While they’re having dinner, she noticed that her hands were shaking violently. She tried to stay calm, but she can’t. She then decided to go to the restroom in the middle of the dinner. To her haste, her heels got caught in the lacy tablecloth. The moments she stepped forward, the tablecloth and the rest of the food on top of it moved with her. The food was on the floor and the dinner was a complete mess. Don just looked at her in awe.

Prior to the date, you checked on things that you’ll need. You ransacked your closet. You

looked for an outfit that seems to fit the event. A couple of hours before the big event, you

took all your time in front of the mirror. “Did I forget something? Is everything in order

now?” you asked yourself. Then you smiled. Now you’re ready.

You looked on your date. He or she was fantastic. You wish he or she also felt the same

way for you. The waiter took you to the table you reserved. You can’t think. You don’t

know what to do. You just stared at your date. You exchanged meaningful glances. You

were brought back to your senses when the waiter asked for your order. You smiled again.

You noticed that the nervousness was slowly fading away. You then felt more comfortable

to strike a conversation.

Charlotte is a very shy girl. She doesn’t usually engage herself in chatter. But Brad has

made an exception. Whenever he and Charlotte are together, he persuades Charlotte to

express herself. After a series of dating, Charlotte’s friends and relatives are shocked to

see her as a chatterer.

The meal was served. You both enjoyed the meal, and most especially the company. You

asked for a walk after dinner. You head to a nearest beach. There, in the stillness of the

night and sea, you learned more about each other. The wind played with your hair as you

go deep into a conversation.

After a couple of minutes walking, you got tired and decided to sit down on the sand. The

two of you became quiet, relishing the moment. Happiness was in the air. You hesitated to

break the silence, but then you know that you had to voice out what you feel. You told him

or her that you had a great time.
