Tina nodded to the waitress in agreement as Artie ordered for them and then turned her attention back to him when the waitress scurried off. She reached over and took Artie’s hand again and traced little shapes in it with her thumb.
“I’m really glad we won the gift card, I like being here with you, Artie.”
Artie loved the feeling of having Tina’s thumb rubbing against his hand. She was so gentle. “I love being anywhere with you, Tina.” he said, smiling up at her again. He took his free hand to feel his pocket, where Tina’s surprise was. He thought of showing it to her then, but he wasn’t sure that it was the right time. He decided to wait a little longer before giving it to her.
Tina smiled at Artie, she didn’t know how an amazing guy like him had came to love her after all she had done to him. Even after she broke his heart to date Mike he still took her back even though she didn’t deserve it. He was beyond amazing in her eyes.
Tina looked into Artie’s piercing blue eyes and squeezed his hand. “I love you, Artie.”
