J has been trying to take me to dinner for a long time. There have been times when I have disappointed him by canceling and even forgot a date. We were supposed to have dinner at his place two weeks ago. I had not been feeling well for a few weeks so I cancelled a week in advance. J is a kind man and enjoys being with me in a way I really don't understand. When J writes about me I don't recognize myself.
A few weeks ago a package arrived at my work. I have front desk staff that tend to packages that arrive at my business. I had been having a shitty day and returned from an errand to find a overnight delivery package. I asked "what is that?' to my front desk person. She of course says "I don't know". I open the package and inside is a lovely box of Chocolate Truffles. I smile and look to see if there is a note. There is a copy of the delivery destination and my name. Part way down the page
I read " Just Because".
Sometimes I amazed at how J knows just when I need a boost. To have received an unexpected thoughtful gift tells me that J is thinking of me in a way that maybe no one ever does.
I think most women would love to receive flowers from a husband or boyfriend anytime of the year. This last Valentines Day, I was in the back of the shop and heard something going on up front. Didn't think anything until my front girl called me to the reception area. Waiting there was a dozen red roses along with a box of chocolates. I was speechless and smiling. I found a card that simply said " A beautiful woman should have beautiful things". No signature. A girl dreams of receiving roses with no name. As in a "secret admirer", we girls are like that. Now I had a suspicion that J was the sweet man on this day of lovers to surprise me. I wrote him an email that said I am 99% certain that he is the one that sent them and thank you. He writes back
"What gave me away" Later that day he sent an email that simply said " I can't believe you aren't told your a beautiful woman everyday". J is very good for my ego and I always know that he loves me....
