Brian and Jordan’s relationship had escalded more over the last couple of weeks. They have never felt this way before. Brian wanted to tell her how he felt for the longest time but nothing came to his mind. He had reservations tonight for a resturant in downtown Lexington. He was finally going to tell Jordan he loved her and hoped she would feel the same way.
Brian got into his truck and drove out of his driveway and on his way to pick up Jordan at work.
----------------------
Jordan sat at her desk editing a paper. She couldn’t help but think of Brian.
“What’s on your mind Jordan?” A co-worker asked.
“Oh…my boyfriend is taking me to this resturant. I guess I am like overly excited,” Jordan couldn’t help but smile.
“I think someone’s in love. So who is he…how did you meet?”
“Well Sandy… its kind of weird actually. I am originally from New York. My boyfriend Alan had just cheated on me. I wanted to get out of there and just out on my own. Well I was going down the highway and I somehow got a flat tire,” she said,” Soon Brian, that’s his name, came along and helped me. He took me back to his house. He said I had some sort of an ‘influence’ on him so he took me out camping tired to beat up Alan. But I didn’t really seem to care much. I just really enjoyed being around him. I couldn’t leave this place,” Jordan explained some more. Every time she talked or even thought about it she’s get goosebumps.
“Awe, how sweet”
“Yeah, I know” Jordan smiled and continued to do her work.
“Oh Jordan I think someone is here to see you” Brian slowly peaked out from behind one of the cubicals.
“Hi honey”
“You weren’t supposed to be here for another hour” she said giving him a hug.
“Well I convinced your boss to let you off just a little early. I wanted to talk”
“Okay” Jordan stropped what she was doing and gathered her things up and they were both on their way out of there.
---------------
They soon arrived at the resturant. Brian seemed excited but what Jordan didn’t know couldn’t hurt.
“Brian this is wonderful!”
“I know it isn’t much” he trailed off.
“No, no its more than enough. Alan never did anything like this for me. All I got to go was to Mc Donald’s or something. He was quite cheap if you ask me” Jordan smiled.
“Yea, I’d say so,” the couple soon orded their food Brian started to tense up.
“You okay Brian? You look a little tense”
“I’m fine”
“Brian, no you’re not so please just tell me” Brian hesitated for a moment. This was the perfect time. Brian let out a sigh,” See I knew there was something on that mind of yours Mr. Littrell” she smirked.
“Well Jorfan…I couldn’t imagine living without you here. Right now all I feel is love. I know we’ve been dating for like three weeks but it must be love or something. Everytume you like walk into the room my day suddenly gets better. I don’t know what it is. Since the day I met you my whole world was just flipped upside down. I just hope you feel the same way…this is why” Brian got out of his chair and put his hand itnto his pocket and pulled out a blue box,” I am asking you Jordan Kelly to become Mrs. Brain Littrell” Jordan didn’t know what to say. She had hoped this day would come for a while now. Everything she had ever wanted was in Brian. She couldn’t imagine her life without him.
“Yes Brian” she choaked out the words. Brian got up and hugged Jordan.
“I love you so much Jordan”
“Me too Brian. This is the best day ever” They hugged once more. This was a relationship waiting to happen in the long run…but in the end it was well worth it.
