Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is a day that people usually spend with their loved ones, close friends and family. It’s a day to show love and appreciation towards the people you care for, but at times your day does not come out as perfect as you wish it would. As for my valentine’s day for me it was not a fairy tale. I did not spend it with a loved one having dinner or going somewhere special. It was just another ordinary day. I was stuck at work; working an eight hour shift doing paper work. How romantic! I was trying to make myself feel better by thinking this is not the worse valentine, but it actually was.

Very early in the morning I began my day very positive and full of energy. Since it was valentines, a day to show your love and appreciation I had decided in buying my boss something special. I wanted to surprise her and show her that I was grateful for having her in my life. As I was driving to work my friend called me and asked me if I could pick her up because she wanted to go into work as well. Since I was in a great mood I told her I would pick her up after I ran some errands. While driving around, my roommate was blabbing her mouth on how she had a romantic getaway that her boyfriend had secretly planned for her. She went on and on, on how her boyfriend Sebastian was going to take her to dinner in Hollywood, and after dinner he would take her to the Hilton hotel to spend the night.

So far my day was BORING! All I had been doing was working and running errands for my boss and myself. When I arrived at work I began to daydream on how my valentine’s day would have been different. When I woke up my boyfriend would bring me breakfast in bed. My tray would have heart shaped pancakes with strawberries on top with whip cream. Next to the pancakes would be eggs and bacon. On the right there would be a red cup with cold freshly squeezed orange juice. Last but not least there would be a red rose where my eating utensils would be placed. He would walk towards me with a big smile and red silky boxers. After he would pick me up and take me to the shower. Right when my daydream was getting good my boss tapped my shoulder and my dream was gone. She asked me if I wanted to go eat lunch with her. After recovering from that hot dream my boss took me to BJ’s to have girl talk. We arrived at the restaurant and since it was valentines’ day the restaurant was over crowded. While waiting, these handsome tall and well dressed men walked in the door like some sort of movies. The scene slowed down and all the girls stared. When we turned around to take a look one of the guys smiled at my boss.

We finally got called for our table. We were deciding what to order; once we reached our decision our waiter came and told us that group of men wanted to buy my boss a drink. I started to wonder why her and not me since I’m young and all. I got over it and started to eat. We were enjoying ourselves and talking when we were interrupted once again. A young male from the same group came up to me and asked me if I would like a refill of strawberries and lemonade. After all it was not such a horrible day.
