She smiled as he reached out and wrapped his hand around hers, intertwining their fingers. The warmth spread from her hands and made its way through her whole body. Every time he touched her it felt like a fire had been lit just below the surface of her skin and it left every nerve waiting for that next touch.
She glanced up at him and found him smiling down at her. They were walking along the busy sidewalk, making their way to the Tiki Hut, but the other people just passed by in a blur. When he looked at her like that she felt like the only girl in the world. No man had ever made her feel so special, so important. She was bought out of her thoughts when he squeezed her hand just a little tighter. She looked up and saw a man selling helium balloons on the sidewalk.
Paul grinned and pulled her gently towards the man. She watched, a smile playing around her lips, as he began scanning the various balloons that were available. After a few minutes he handed a note to the man and grabbed hold of a bright pink string. She watched as his chosen balloon began to detach itself from the mass and once she saw what he had picked a joyous laugh rose from her throat. As he handed her the balloon he cupped her face and kissed her soft and slow, before grabbing her hand again and continuing the walk.
She looked up at her kitten shaped balloon with the words “You’re purrrrfect,” written across it and, for the first time in her life, believed it.
