Carlos Don

I knocked on the door. She came out, and I finally got to see her.I froze for a second. She looks like an angel, I said out loud.

She laughed. I shook myself out of my trance, feeling embarrassed, and pulled myself together. She didn't seem bothered by what I'd just said.

My mother used to say that, she replied.

She was right,I said.

I couldn't stop staring at her.

Can we go now? she asked.

You're right. Sorry.

I opened the car door for her and asked where she wanted to go.

I spent the whole day looking for places we could visit,she replied.

She spent the whole day searching for places to go? She's amazing, I thought. I didn't say it out loud.I stared at her for a moment, but she didn't seem bothered by my presence.

Then she started listing the places we could visit. We can go to Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty.

I asked my chauffeur to take us to all those places.She had such a beautiful smile.We spent the whole day together. The first place we visited was the Statue of Liberty.

I asked her about her dreams, and she told me she wanted to become a lawyer and build a house for her parents.

You're a good daughter,I replied.

She laughed.

I asked her if I could keep seeing her before she moved to Boston. She didn't answer for a moment.

So I added, Only during the day. I want to make sure you feel safe spending time with me.

She agreed.

I asked for her phone number. On our way to her home, she thanked me again for the bouquet of flowers.

Did you like them? I asked.

Yes! I've never received flowers in my life. You were the first person to give me some. She smiled before adding, From now on, blue roses are my favorite flowers.

I wanted to kiss her, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I didn't want to disrespect her. I fought against my desire.

If I was going to kiss her, I wanted to do it the right way.

I drove her home.
