After his regular workouts with his personal gym trainer, Daniel took a quick shower and changed into his white pants, a plain white T-shirt, and comfortable brown slippers. He ordered his butler, whom he passed through his yard, to call a masseuse. “I need a masseuse for home service, before 12 noon.”

Daniel walked quickly when he saw Sarah in her rose garden. Sarah, with her tanned skin and petite frame, glowed in the reflected sunlight. Apart from her with her red hair, which now shone like fire, Daniel would certainly be able to see her easily.

The butler hurriedly caught him: “Sir, the masseur will be on his way after an hour.” Daniel nodded, “Ok, thanks Antonio, that will be all.”

While she waited, she decided to sit on her finely crafted bench between two mango trees located in front of the house, on the left side of her rose garden. She greeted Sarah, who was tending her roses that morning.

It was around 9 o’clock when Sarah came down from her long sleep in her worn black jeans and pale yellow crew neck shirt with her favorite black snickers. Missing breakfast, she stopped by the kitchen and grabbed a 12-ounce bottle of fresh orange-carrot juice from the ref. She poured herself some into a glass. She drank carefully, letting the pulp of the orange juice play a little on her tongue before swallowing. She was like a little girl, happily drinking her favorite juice as she gazed at the view outside her rose garden. She could see him through the glass wall of the dining room directly across from the kitchen. She put the empty glass in the sink and excitedly walked towards her beautiful rose garden.

He was so happy picking some roses with a small scissors in his right hand. She carefully cut those roses that were ready to be placed in her oval-shaped vase with an elongated glass neck. She was able to collect 12 roses. She put the roses one by one in the vase and arranged them beautifully. She was reviewing and looking at her work when she looked at Daniel sitting on the bench greeting her. She understood that he liked her to sit with him, so she called her housekeeper and handed her the vase. “Take this to my room and put it on my study table, okay? Thanks!” Nana smiled, “Yes ma’am I will.”

“Hey honey, come here,” Daniel, who had a muscular body and gray hair like Richard Gere, greeted her happily. Sarah kissed him on the right cheek near her ear and whispered “good morning cupcake”, then she hugged him. She released him and looked at him smiling, then he kissed her softly on her lips. She let him kiss her for a few seconds and then he moved her kiss to her nose and gave it a quick kiss.

She sat on his lap with her right arm wrapped around his shoulder. He looked into her eyes that even she smiled sweetly at him, he could tell right there, deep in those green eyes, that a faint instance of hope that their relationship would grow had already faded from her. He caressed her face with his right hand. His right thumb of hers brushed lightly across her lower lip. “I know, I’ve been emotionally estranged from you for the past few weeks, but I want to work things out with you, would you let me?” He spoke to her so intensely and very concerned. And then she whispered to him: “I have something that you will like.”

He took a small blue box out of his pocket and opened it. She picked up a set of 21-karat gold earrings with a 1-carat princess-cut diamond in each. She wasn’t that surprised. She always knew that he was good at this. Every time he liked to make amends with her, he would wash her down with expensive jewelry.

Wow, they are beautiful! Thank you, I don’t know what to say.” She gave Daniel a kiss on the lips. She tilted her head so he could easily put them in his ears. He removed the old ones and replaced them with the new ones. She took the old ones and put them inside the blue box, then looked into his eyes and said, “I’m glad you wanted us to be closed again and work on our differences.”

“I’ve been thinking for the past few days and I’m really sorry for my tremendous loss if I didn’t have you in my arms anymore, would you give us another chance?” Daniel told him with his eyes fixed on his eyes. She thought deeply for a moment and said with a smile, “Of course, but give me some time on this, I need more time to think about all this, okay?”

He nodded and kissed her lips so softly once more. She kissed him back, but broke it off immediately.

She stood up and gave him a hug. “I have to go honey, I need to shower now, I’ll be late, I have a lunch meeting with my mom and dad. See you later tonight, okay?”

He grabbed her right hand, kissed it, and released it. “Hey take care my cookie monster!” He smiled at her and winked at her. Sarah giggled a little and jokingly howled, “Take care arrrg, I’ll call you later if you’re lucky!” They laughed out loud together and then Sarah gracefully walked back into the house. She looked at him, yelled, “And yes, I will, don’t worry,” and blew him a kiss.

Daniel is a very rich businessman. He is always busy. He travels from time to time. He is sweet but also a very proud man. He loves Sarah in her special ways. She loves.

Sarah also worries about Daniel. She got along with him but lately everything has changed…
