CREAM OF THE CROP
submitted by: Ivan V.
The first date I had with my now beloved wife was an outdoor trip.
Right after we met, we found out we both enjoyed the outdoors, so out
of impulse I asked her if she wanted to go have some strawberries with
cream near the outside of the city. Fortunately she said yes, so next
day I picked her up and we went to this place which is very cold, but
it's filled with trees and mountains.
After randomly walking around, enjoying the wonderful smell of the
trees and having a great talk, we decided to climb one of the
mountains.
It wasn't really easy, but it was worth it. We both enjoyed the
exercise, and when we arrived at the top, we were met with a most
wonderful view. We sat on some rocks, and an opening through the trees
allowed us to see the valley, and all the way across the road below, a
big lake.
There, just the two of us alone... All that was missing was the
sunset, because although the timing was just perfect, the only view
towards the horizon was to the north, not west.
And since it was about to start getting dark, we set out to return to
our car, so we began the descent. After a little while she told me she
was getting tired, so we stopped to rest. After that, I intuitively
asked her to "hop on", which she gladly accepted, and I carried her
all the way down in my back.
On the way down, she gently put her cheek against mine. I still can
remember the rush of emotions I felt (I almost fell down). Right there
I knew we were going to be best friends.
So we arrived at the "skirt" of the mountain. We laid down on a mat we
brought (because of the cold), she put her head on my tummy, and we
just gazed at the stars (which is something truly amazing for those
of us who live in such a polluted city as Mexico City) and the moon.
Then on the way back I meant to stop to have some of the most
delicious strawberries with cream, nuts, and cinnamon that I've ever
tasted. Unfortunately the place was already closed (time flew like
never before!).
The next day I took half day off and went back to get the strawberries
we couldn't have the day before, and as a surprise, I arrived at her
home, and she was indeed surprised and very glad. That was something
I've never done before, as it was a completely selfless act and the
drive was like 1 hr. each way.
A very important fact of this trip was that it was so much more... It
was a wonderful journey in knowing each other.
3 years and a half have passed, and we both still remember that day
like it was just past week.
3 days after that date, she cooked sushi for me!!! 2 years later we got
married.
