Sam splashed her face with water, rubbing her red, weary eyes. She was an absolute mess, her hair frayed every which way and her pjs disheveled. Suddenly there was the smell of bacon... burning bacon.
“CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!” Colin yelled from the kitchen.
Sam walked in to see a big heap of cinnamon apple pancakes with eggs and.. err, extra crispy... bacon.
“Hey Sam, coffee?” He asked.
“Yes please...” She smiles weakly.
She savored the breakfast as Colin held her tight.
“So... what do you wanna do today?” Colin asked.
Sam was a little surprised; it wasn’t often that HE asked HER that.
“Well... maybe we could go to the movies... get a shake at the diner... candle light dinner?” Sam asked. “What about the girls?”
“I sent them a text... today’s just the two of us...” Colin smiles.
Colin held Sam’s hand tight as they walked up to the concession stand.
“What can I get you two?” The clerk asked.
“One jumbo blue razz slush with two straws and a jumbo popcorn with Reese’s Pieces.” Colin ordered.
They watched the limited run showing of one of their favorite movies, National Lampoons Family Vacation. Colin blushes as he watches Sam smile and giggle in glee, holding hands as they sipped the massive slush together.
At the diner, they shared a shake before going to the market for the stuff to make her family’s famous surf and turf. As Sam loaded up a cart with scallops, salmon, and lobster tail, Colin placed in some steak with his hand behind his back.
“What are you holding?” Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.
He whipped out a huge bouquet of violets and kissed her on the lips.
“Get a room!” A crotchety old geezer yelled as he passed by.
Sam snorted and giggled as Colin laughed with her.
Colin washed off the last fork and loaded it in. The salmon was perfectly stuffed, the steak seared nicely, the scallops with just the right amount of garlic butter, and the shrimp linguine was butter and nice. He kissed her on the cheek before snuggling her on the couch.
“I love you..” Sam blushed.
“I love you too...” Colin smiled.
They shared one last kiss before dozing off.
