The sun never shone as bright as today, oh my biggest star, you never took so long to set before. I'm impatient, so much that I cannot keep myself still. I long to hear Joe knocking upon my door, calling out my name, hear his voice. And above all, to see his angelic face again.

I'm rather nervous, I keep thinking of ways to greet him and practice them repeatedly in my head. Should I hug and kiss him? Wait that'll make me appear clingy...dammit my friends were right, I am clingy. ew, the thought of my old American friends makes me gag.
I am startled by a tapping on my door, I anxiously walk towards it.
I give my hair and dress one last fix.

I swing the door open and there he is, my Joe, holding a rose smiling back at me.

"Wow, you look beautiful...and glamorous?" He laughs, "I don't think I dressed appropriately"
"What? of course you did, you look very handsome. That cowboy hat really suits you," I laugh.
He takes it off sheepishly "I just won't wear it."
"No, No! Really, you look adorable" I say placing it back on his head. He may not realize it but his outfit makes him look like a really hot daddy from the wild west. (And I am DYING inside because I have a kink for cowboys)
"Do you know what Papi means?" I ask in a sexually insinuative tone
He bursts out laughing, "So that's what I look like? Your Daddy?...In such case you definitely look like my Mami" he winks.
"Oh my god" my cheeks are red and I can't help laughing at the way he pronounces it while looking at me with seductive eyes.
"This is for you, mi amore" he hands me the rose.
"Gracias, Papi."

We proceed our way to the cab laughing, our arms intwined.
"So you speak Spanish huh?"
"Slightly, you know, a couple phrases, but you seem to be good at it"
"Well of course, I'm Mexican-American"
"wow mami" he takes my hand and kisses it all the way up until he reaches my neck, I giggle as he tickles me with his lips.

We arrive at one of London's most romantic restaurants, or so I was told.
"Candy, what kind of restaurant did you bring me to?"
"What's wrong? I was told its one of the nicest"
"And probably one of the most expensive as well, lets just go somewhere else, don't spend your money on the rich."
I pout. "Oh don't do that to me baby" he says with a child's voice, "I'll take you somewhere fun, we can dance and..." he whispers in my ear "...go back to your place and..." the rest is inappropriate for a lady to repeat.

I'm convinced, Joe gives the driver new directions and we arrive at a place with live music and tipsy youngsters dancing.
We sit across from each other, I admire every detail of his perfectly crafted face and try taking a portrait of him, which comes out blurry but nevertheless is still perfect.

Once done dining the band begins playing "Sh-Boom" by the Crew Cuts and I immediately drag Joe to the dance floor with me.
I wrap my arms around his neck, he sets his around my waist and I began softly singing in his ear, "life could be a dream, if I could take you up into paradise up above, if you would tell me I'm the only one that you love. Life could be a dream sweetheart." I kiss his cheek.
He looks at me in the eyes and with our noses touching he whispers into my lips, "you're the only one that I love."

He kisses me, with a kiss that grants me all the wonderfulness of life itself. I knew at once as I heard those words that I had seen heaven, I had felt the grace of god and every blessing and exhilarating adventure anyone has lived, I had too, now experienced. It was more than a kiss, it was a promise of everlasting love, no one on heaven nor hell will ever take this moment from me.

We separate our lips as the opening chords to "Kiss Me Deadly" softly make their way out the speakers. We both laugh reading each other's minds and begin slowly dancing as the others sway unsinchronized, not as lucky as we to have someone to share the song with. As the chords build up we start dancing wildly like dumb little kids and bang our heads both singing the chorus to each other.

"KISS ME, DEAAADLY, KISS ME, TONIGHT!" I jump into his arms stealing the breath from his lips.
