Mike:

I'd been thinking. It was coming up to our three month anniversary and I thought that Rachael and I should go and do something. So I thought. I thought of heaps of things we could do, bowling, rollerblading, skiing and even mini golf. There were so many things we could do that cost money, but I thought we woud do something special. So I called her up and suggested going out to dinner. 'Sure' she says. Everything was great. After our nice meal at the local Italian restauran and a little present she'd bought me, I took Rach a short way up a mountain and put a small blindfold on her. Then I lead her out to a view that overlooks the city. She was totally awed! It was and still is one of my favourite places that I love to go. When I was younger, as a kid, my family used to take us all on holidays and often go to lookouts, so it was pretty special, and to me too. On this night, there were lights as far as the eye can see and it was beautiful. We were sitting there just talking for a while, and Rach turned to me and thanked me for bringing her up there. As a guy, I humbly accepted her thanks, as you do. But then she did something I totally wasn't ready for. She kissed me! It was amazing! After being up there for what seemed not long enough, it started getting cold so we came back to town. I pulled up to her house and like a gentleman opened her door and walked her to her front gate. We both said goodnight and I drove home with a big goofy grin on my face.

The next day at 7:02am my best mate Robert rang and woke me almost dying to know what happened. I found it pretty strange, 'cause I don't remember telling him that I was doing anything. I was the only one home all that night, so my family couldn't have given him my alaby. So he says to me, "Hey mate, so, tell me!?! Could you count the cars from that mountain last night?!?!?? From what I hear it was a night to remember?!!! Am I right???"

"Huh? What? Who told you?", I said.

"Well, John told me who was told by his girl who I think was told by your gal."

Rachael:

Well, I was talking to Stacey on the phone and it happened! Since we have call waiting, I swapped over to the other call and I knew who's voice it was without him even having to say who it was. It was Mike. My guy. He sounded his usual happy self and brightened up even more after hearing me. He wanted to know what I was doing that night. I wasn't really doing anything big, probably just be going to watch a movie with Stace. So I said yes and it was settled.

That night, I got dressed up and tried to look my best for him. I had a little blue dress on with small random dots and a small black wool cardigan which I'd picked up shopping with mum the other week. I think it was a pretty cool outfit. Seven o'clock came and Mike came and picked me up and we went out. We arrived at a little Italian restaurant, "Po-Joes" I think it was called. He knows how much I love that sort of food. It was so good spending time with him, and so I thought it right that I'd give him a small present. It took Stacey and I ages to find it, 'cause guys are so hard to buy presents for. But it was worth it when I gave it to him. It was a small gold chain with a cross. I thought it'd look good on him. When I put it on, I was proven right. It was pretty cool. After tea, we took a hike up a hill. I didn't want to go all that much, but because Mike wanted to I went.

It had been a hot day and was starting to cool down pretty quickly. As we were nearing the top. Mike stopped and asked if he could put a small blind fold on me. I was a little nervous, but I thought, 'why not have a little adventure in your life gal', so I let him.

Then taking his hand as not to trip, he lead me out and then we stopped. He took off the blind fold and it was amazing! The view was breath taking. He took me out to a look out that I didn't even know existed and I'd been living in town for so long! I could see about a hundred miles for sure! It was so sweet of him to do that for me. It made me want to kiss him. So I did! We had the best time that night. As much as I would have liked to stay up there much longer and had that moment for ever, it was getting late and colder, so we went back down.

We pulled up to my house and Mike opened my door. Then he walked me to my front gate. We kissed and said goodnight. I thanked him for the night and went inside all wooed from him. It was so not like me, but I did.

I ran to my room and just had to tell Stacey all about the night. I probably told her more than I should have, but she wanted to know everything! It made me feel so good being able to tell her too, 'cause I know that her and her boyfriend still haven't even gone on a date!
