Stephanie looked in the mirror at her new haircut. She trimmed it a few inches and cut it to have bangs. She hadn�t had bangs for about eight or nine years. She was sort of happy with her new haircut, she hadn�t had that look in years so she decided that hair always grow back so might as well cut it. Her new haircut made her look like a twenty year old instead of her usually typical twenty-six year old look.

Steph wanted to look younger because her boyfriend Paul shaved his infamous beard which made him look like he was in his late twenties instead of his early thirties. Stephanie didn�t tell Paul right away she got a hair cut. That morning she told Paul she was going out. He was busy watching tapes so he didn�t care or minded much. When she came back he was still watching them tapes so she immediately went to the bathroom and checked the haircut out.

Stephanie came to the living room, grabbed the remote control and turned off the television set and looked Paul dead in his hazel eyes.

�Ahh!� said Paul �you�re hair, it�s gone!�

�No it�s not!� snapped Stephanie

�You don�t like it?�

�No comment�

That upset Stephanie. Steph gave Paul the finger and left his home. Paul sat on the couch confused. That was four days ago. Four days before Valentine�s Day. Paul had to find a way to make it up to Stephanie. He loved her and wanted to make his relationship precious. Stephanie hadn�t returned any of his calls. So for four days, Paul planned what he was going to do. Paul didn�t shave and had a stubble. The stubble grew to a into a light beard. The light beard was starting to get thick. He knew Steph and ladies loved his beard. Paul procrastinated till the last minute.

Twelve o-clock midnight stuck and it was officially Valentine�s Day. Paul made the drive from New Hampshire to New York where Stephanie lived. Paul got out of his red Hummer, shut the door and grabbed some stuff. He entered the apartment complex carrying the stuff. He took out the keys and slowly unlocked Steph�s door. Paul placed the stuff down and headed towards Stephanie�s bedroom.

Steph slept peacefully and snored lightly under the covers. Steph like Paul, didn�t wear clothes when they went to bed because they wanted to be comfortable. Paul pulled back the covers gently and looked at Stephanie�s body. He pulled out a Yellow Rose of Texas and began plucking it and flinging it on Stephanie. Paul did that to the rest of the dozen of roses. Paul then took out a red rose which he cut the thorns off and sat on the bed.

Paul placed the rose in one hand and stroke Stephanie�s hair. He bent down and kissed her on her forehead and Stephanie stirred. Paul placed the rose in his mouth and rubbed Stephanie from head to toe. Stephanie groaned. Stephanie enjoyed that caressing. Stephanie opened her eyes and smiled at Paul. She was glad he was there. Paul rubbed Stephanie�s hand and grabbed his bag of stuff. He handed her a stuffed tiger. Stephanie squeezed the stuff tiger.

�Grrr I love you� said the tiger and Paul in unison

�I love you too Paul�

�That�s not it.�

Paul handed Steph some expensive chocolates and Stephanie opened it up and ate one. Paul then pulled Stephanie up. Stephanie sat on the bed. Paul moved the covers out of the way. He had the lights dimmed. He got down on one knee and pulled out a black velvet box. It was a huge diamond ring inside. Paul cleared his throat and looked Stephanie in her blue eyes. �Roses are red. Violets are blue. Being my wife, is something I want from you� smiled Paul �Yes!� said Stephanie

Paul and Stephanie embraced and got it on in the bed, then they moved to the shower, then the couch and all over the place.

The End

Happy Valentine�s Day everyone!!!!!
