A Sweet Date

I turned to stare at him as my heart seemed to have melted. His words, his attitude and what he was trying to do truly touched me. Despite everything that he’s done and was trying to do, he remained a very humble person.

“By the way, I’m visiting some orphanages that we’re going to sponsor, so I was wondering if you would like to come along with me,” Adrian asked without much confidence.

He turned to smile lightly at me, and I could feel his desire for me to join him on the trip. This was probably what Jason was alluding to when he spoke to me on the phone earlier. I had no idea why Adrian thought that I wouldn’t be thrilled to go on the trip with him because I really was excited and so happy that he had chosen to invite me.

“Of course. I really want to go with you,” I replied, sounding a lot more enthusiastic than I had intended.

“Really? You’ll come with me, really?” Adrian asked with clear surprise.
