Valentine's Day has finally come, seeing heart shaped balloons, people giving out chocolates and flowers to dear friends and romantic partners. I went into my Pharmacology class, in shock noticed a big pink folded card on my desk with my name on it. So I opened it and revealed a huge poster with amazingly awesome words that made me cry for two reasons. One: I thought it was a nice handwritten card from my friends. Two: I didn't expect that I was going to get anything at all on Valentine's Day. After 30 minutes of class, the students who were delivering roses entered and as expected, all the couples got roses and a bag filled with chocolate. Then unexpectedly I had one last and it was for me, but mine was a bit different from the rest because mine had a card as well and a massive heart shaped chocolate stuck on the other side. The card said "Dear my precious angel Anne. Hope you are well on this beautiful Valentine's Day. Hope to see you on our date tonight. Happy Valentine's Day. Your friend and secret admirer Raúl!" A few hours later at 5:30pm, I was getting really nervous about being alone with him. Started to wonder if he will be the friend that I am in love with or something entirely different or even worse. Then got a text from Alica saying "Hope you get some sparks fly tonight. If you know what I mean. You lucky girl." While at 7, I will find out because I have to go on a date with him due to Valentine Day Auction and I was the final prize. At 7pm, I met him at a japanese izakaya near the movie theaters inside the Centro Comercial Antara Polanco. We were having a pleasant time talking and eating. Little did I know he liked shrimp and octopus nigiri like I do because he ate 8 in total. We both ate really good pork ramen with two cokes and a little bit of warm sake because it was cold outside and to celebrate the day of love in all its forms. We saw a couple drinking sake then kissed each other. Raúl was surprised that I liked shrimp and octopus nigiri. He thought he was the only one. He told me "I'm really happy that you are here Anne. This place I had gone to many times alone but this is the first time I have gone with someone." I started to blush a little at his honesty. He was trying to show the man I have come to admire and even love within that always know is there but sometimes gets hidden by his somewhat vindictive side that wants to show strength for some reason that I don't know. After we ate, we saw the Avengers movie then he told me in his sexy sly tone of voice "I know the rules says that only a dinner and a movie, but I own you Anne, so I think I can bend the rules a little. Actually, I want to show you something." I replied "Alright! You own me ever since you bought me at the sex auction." I got into his car and he asked me "Anne, can you put on this blindfold to surprise you. Promise not to sexually touch you in the blindfold. After three hours of driving, he removes the blindfold then reveals a port town advertising fireworks at 10:00pm close to Peña de Bernal. After ten more minutes of walking, he reveals his secret hiding place, a beautiful connote with clear blue water with a big patch of land to start a bonfire and a wooden bench looking towards the night sky. On the other side, there is a huge apple tree. He pushed me into the clear water then as revenge I pulled him in. Now both of us are completely wet and he said "This place is my secret hiding place. Usually go here to get away from the stresses of the day and be in the moment. Normally I go alone to this place, but this is the first time I have gone with someone." Right after he said that, he kissed me and the kiss felt like his true self of being warm and the person I fell in love with. After swimming a little bit more, it was getting late. On the way to the car, I asked Raúl "Raúl, can we see the fireworks before leaving?" He replied "Sure, it's not far from here. I thought it could be fun." We got to the town 20 minutes before the fireworks were about to start so we got some food. We found a good stop to see the fireworks and we got to see beautiful fireworks, which were in all shapes and colors like a rainbow, then he kissed me again and said "Happy Valentine's Day. You have always meant so much to me more than you know. Keep being you and never give up."
