| She stood there for a while waiting and trying to figure out what was going on. She was deep in thought when a middle-aged man approached her.
�Good evening.� He had a hand behind his back and as he spoke pulled out a beautiful red rose. Michaela was bewildered. She took the rose and smiled at him before he walked off again. After that another man came up to her only this time he gave yellow rose. For five minutes Michaela stood there receiving roses from random men. She received a light pink rose, a white rose, a deep pink rose an orange rose, and a yellow rose with red tips. She was so confused. Why were all these men giving her these roses? She was looking at her roses when she noticed another man standing in front of her with a perfect red rose. She took the rose and looked up to thank the man. All the confusion disappeared when she saw who the man was. Sully stood in front of her in a suit and was holding his hand out to her. Michaela didn�t have to think twice. All day long she�d been daydreaming about being with Sully, and now he was really here. She took his hand and he helped her get in his car. �What�s all this about?� �You�ll see.� Sully gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. �Where are we going?� �Trust me.� A short while after they arrived at Sully�s place. Michaela�s heart started to race. Sully walked up to her and took her hand before leading her inside. Michaela couldn�t hide her surprise. There was a blanket spread out by the fireplace with an array of food. She let Sully lead her to the blanket and sat down while he lit the fire. �Sully?� �Yea?� Sully had his back to her while he lit the fire. �Why did you give me different color roses?� �Well, because�� �Because..?� �They each have a different meaning.� �Oh?� Michaela looked at the roses. �For example, take this red rose. This red rose represents respect. The respect I have for you.� He sat next to Michaela and took the deep pink rose and tapped the tip of her nose with it. �This deep pink rose represents gratitude and appreciation. Just a way to show you I�m grateful for the way you took care of my ma.� �This one here, the light pink one. This one represents admiration. I admire you for the way you treat people.� �The yellow rose means happiness. That�s something I�ve been feeling since I�ve met you.� Michaela�s eyes were starting to form tears. No man had ever talked to her the way Sully was. She didn�t know what to say. She was completely speechless, and her heart started to fill up with love for this wonderful man. �What does this orange rose mean?� �Ah, this one is my favorite. This orange rose represents enthusiasm and desire. I don�t think I need to explain that anymore.� He saw that her cheeks were getting red and he smiled to himself. She looked even more beautiful when she blushed. �Finally we have a combination of yellow and red. This rose represents loyalty. I will always be loyal to you.� �I think you forgot one Sully.� �I did?� �Yes you did. You forgot the white rose.� Michaela held the rose up to him so he could smell it. �How could I forget this one? This is the most important of all.� |
