I decided to make Grilled Mediterranean Vegetables with couscous. Jenn came over that Friday afternoon and dragged Cath and Lindsey to the mall. I had planned what I wanted to do and Jenn would send Cath home at seven that afternoon. I had been working on the dinner all afternoon. As I heard Cath’s car pull up in front of the house. I struck the match and lit the candles. Catherine opened the door as I started pouring the wine into the glasses. I handed her one of the glasses as she entered the living room. She looked so stunned, so beautiful.

Cath’s POV

I was tired and hungry, and I’m glad that I was home. Jenn took Lindsey and I to the mall. But Lindsey insisted that she would stay at Jenn’s house for the night. Which was weird ‘cos I actually had the night off; I had been neglecting Lindsey in these past weeks. When I finally had a night off she’d rather stay at my sister’s house. I sighed and drove the car onto the driveway and got out. I opened the door and a delicious smell flowed into my nose.

I opened the door and saw Sara on the opposite site of the room waiting for me to come in with two glasses of wine in her hands. I kissed her and she handed me one of the glasses.

“So, I guess it worked huh? Now I know why Lindsey wanted to stay with my sister so badly. And why my sister took me to the mall in the first place.”

“Well I promised you that I would cook something vegetarian didn’t I?” I smiled, I was glad that everything worked out and that she hadn’t known what was happening.

“But I have one problem, I can’t get the food from the kitchen, could you please get it?” I sighed while I looked down at the damn crutches I despised those things already. But I would need them for at least another month.

She was standing in front of me and she looked so sad. I cupped her face in my hands and lifted it up. “I want this to be perfect, our first real date kind of thing…” She whispered and I was stunned.

“But sweetie, this is perfect. It’s just you and me, and I’m sure that you made a delicious surprise for me, this couldn’t be more perfect.” I told her while our lips connected in a tender kiss. After a while I let go of her. “We better start that dinner, it would be a shame if we didn’t eat it.” She smiled and I knew that if I didn’t get the food out that I wouldn’t be able to make it to the kitchen at all.
