First True Love

         For their first date Phoebe wore a light orange dress that went just past her knees.  It was a spaghetti strap that cinched at the waist line and flared down. She left her hair down in curls. She was so nervous and yet so excited! When Zach knocked on the door Phoebe checked herself in the mirror. After making sure every hair was in its place, she opened the door.
         
                “Wow, you look absolutely ravishing!” Zach said as his jaw dropped. He thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
             
                “Thank you.” Phoebe said smiling. She brushed her hands down the skirt of her dress as to smooth it out.
             
                “Are you ready to go?” Zach asked staring at Phoebe in amazement.

                “Just let me grab my jacket and purse.” Phoebe said as she motioned Zach inside and turned to grab her things. “Ready.” She turned to see Zach beaming. He looked as if he were on cloud nine. She didn’t remember him having that sparkle when they first met. She didn’t remember feeling the way she felt at that moment either. She couldn’t help but smile.

                When they entered the restaurant Zach put his hand on the small of Phoebe’s back. He led her to their table without his hand moving until she sat down. She felt safe with Zach. Phoebe felt like the only woman in the room. Their eyes locked. He never looked at anyone else and that made her feel special.

                  During dinner they told each other stories of their childhood, their dreams, and their future plans. There was never a dull moment in their evening. Phoebe knew that this is exactly where she wanted to be. She could only hope Zach felt the same way.

                  Zach never wanted this evening to end. He saw something in Phoebe that he had never seen in any other woman. There was a certain passion she had but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. She was different, very different. But he liked that about her.
