Today was
the day. Today had to be. It took him weeks, months, preparing everything for
this big night. At last Zach would dare to invite that person who was messing
in his dreams, who made his face turn bright red and take his breath away.
-Donita …
I have one last favor to ask you, -he said timidly, entering her room. She was
working, because right at this time is when there was more work. Rich
boyfriends ordering exaggerated dresses, other infidels trying to mend their
error and other more last minute because some store ran out of inventory.
-What do
you want now? -she asked between annoyed and stressed- Dabiooooo, bring me
another meter of fabric and sequins!
-Okay Donita-
-I …-
Zach hesitated- I don’t know how to ask him
-Just call
him and tell him. Dabio!
-I can’t just
do that. What if he says no?
-You deserve
it for being a coward, -she said and laughed.
-Donita! -he
screamed, his face colored in red
-Then go
with him, you have nothing to lose
Zach
thought for a moment, it was the first thing with meaning that she said. He
turned around and left, still thoughtful.

– Isn’t it
great? There have been no problems all week! -Chris said happily, relaxing in
his hammock.
-You said
it, brother, -Martin answered.- No problems or worries, and with discount chocolate
tomorrow!
They both
laughed, until someone knocked on the door. They were at home, since they
always took this day off; the girls went on dates and Jimmy worked as a private
chef, making cookies and cakes (very delicious).
-I’m going
to see who it is, -said the man in blue getting up from the hammock. He reached
the door and found a nervous Zach Varmitech
-Zach?!
What are you doing here? –he asked astonished- You came to steal pets?
-What? No,
“Zach replied.” I …
-You…
-…
-Zach?
-I’m here
for you! -He said almost shouting, closing his eyes and extending his arms,
offering a box of expensive chocolates and a bouquet of blue roses.
They both
remained silent. Martin took the gifts and admired them for a moment.
– This …
Is it really for me? -Zach said nothing but nodded shyly.- I … I don’t know
what to say. -He laughed nervously. If he remember right, it was the first time
someone gave him something for Valentine’s Day- Thank you -he said softly and
with a slight blush.
Zach opened
his eyes and looked at him. He looked so … cute.
-Ma …
Martin? -Zach asked
-Yes? -He
said, looking away from the gifts
-Do you
want to go out with me?
He took a
moment to think about it, and smiling he answered
-I would
love to
