RE: STACH Short Story Contest #20: Valentine Special- 199 words, a lovely prize pool, everyone wins!

in #writing7 years ago

Valentine’s Day was never my concern until I met Julius, he taught me all I needed to know about truly loving the right way. My very first Val was with him and he treated me to some kind of loving. All I had known in my life was maltreatment and pain, but he was there to treat me like a queen.

On the eve of Valentine, he took me shopping and bought me a red gown like that of Cinderella with a matching shoe and bag. To my greatest surprise when I asked him how he wanted me to pay back, he said they were all free and all of these were a testament of his love for me. On the 14th, he came to my house and took me in a rented Hummer jeep and we went to one of the most expensive restaurant in town. After we ordered and ate, he spoke of his undying love for me. By the end of the outing, I could hear myself laughing something I have not done for a long while. I accepted his proposal to marry him and since then love has a new meaning to me.
