Genna was thinking about Jack again. She walked over to the window and reflected on her cozy surroundings. She had always loved magical Sydney with its scenic parks. This is where she felt relaxed. Her mind was far away from where she was, thinking of the one her heart had chosen. In her heart, she knew that the man she loved was an exceptional individual who deserved a medal. In a flash, she covered her mouth to prevent herself from saying anything. She knew that she was a thinker and a doer. Her mind was her garden, a vegetable patch that produced a variety of ideas. Her mind was a wellspring that rarely ran dry. She saw someone in a distance, she looked and him as he was growing even closer.
The solid, muscular man she saw in the distance wore a white lab coat. He was rather handsome and had a charming smile on his face. Genna was convinced that she had never known a man who was not only handsome, but was also a good person. He was like a young kid with a big smile on his face. Her face turned red as she noticed him getting closer and closer. “Thanks a lot”, she exclaimed as she spread her arms wide open with a big grin on her face.
For months, Genna had been receiving gifts from someone anonymous. The notes that accompanied the gifts had no address, or official name, except for the three words, “With Love, Jax”. It was Thanksgiving Day, a day that Genna felt right to pay gratitude for the love she had been receiving all these months. She was prepared with a gift of thanks for the one she loved, the man that made her days brighter every time she thought of him.
“Please come in” she whispered as she held his hand, leading him to the lounge. The excitement was too much that she couldn’t wait any longer. All this while, Jack was in amazement, not knowing what was happening. He knew that he had come to pick his date for dinner. Something he had planned for months, to declare what he felt for Genna; the love of his life. Genna left to her room, only to emerge with a gift box in her hands, her face was so bright with this big smile on her face. “Thank you so much”, she whooped as she handed Jack the gift box. “I’ve been receiving your gifts and I love them”, she continued, “I plan to wear the clothes on my first dinner date”. “You are such an amazing person”, she added. Jack was mesmerized and confused, he was happy and jealous at the same time.
He lifted Genna up, spinning her around with so much passion and enthusiasm. “Will you be my date tonight?” He asked. Without saying a word, Genna rushed into her room and came out wearing one of the dresses she received from her anonymous friend or lover – whoever that was. She looked amazing. This was their first date, something they both secretly looked forward to.
Their first dinner date became at a little place close to the park. They talked, ate & laughed. While the dinner went smoothly with each of them asking the questions which we both probably read off of a Google article ‘What to do and what not to do on the first date.” But, the actual first-class talks started out once they left the eating place. They started out walking on this perfect little road; not too crowded & not too lonely. One facet turned into a lane of bungalows with some of these timber with plant life on their garden. These pink vegetation hung just so perfectly that they were midway on the street & midway at the internal of the Bungalow lawn making the lane studded with red flora & yellow leaves in a beautiful red carpet fashion. While on the other facet of the lane there was only a wall & across that wall, there were trees playing the Psithurism Sound for them.
Even after a few moments of silence, they both knew that this was the best gift they could have ever received. As they walked close to each other, their palms became the first ones to attract like magnets. They flirtatiously whooshed & touched until they finally embrace. This was the first time Genna and Jack walked on nature’s colorful carpet while being attentive to the whizzing on the other side. Soon, he decided to cease the silence and asked, “What are you thinking about right now?” Without any hesitation, Genna answered, “It is simply magical and basically jubilant listening to those psithurism sounds. It’s all just a one-minute movement.
He became the kind of guy who wouldn’t interrupt Genna when she was saying something with so much dreams in her eyes. He listened silently and imagined everything Genna stated, not to correct but to apprehend her. So, she smiled at him after telling him what was on her mind. She then turned to Jack, and asked him what was on his mind. He stated, “I think just like how the windy sounds are to you, time is to me. You see how magnificently time works? We have been on foot for about 25 minutes but seems like only five minutes have gone by. I suppose whilst we are with a person we like, time flies. When we are with someone we adore, time seems to go by quicker than in any other case. Isn’t it cute, like clockwork too?” They once more smiled at each other, and this was something else. No first date ends up with both the people having such conversations about their inner most thoughts and wonders – this was surely magical.
By that point, they reached Genna’s house. They stood facing each other. They found their one-minute of peace. Their bodies touching each, looking deep into each other’s eyes. As the anticipation closed in, so did the distance between them, they kissed. Their first kiss in that ideal minute of peace and standstill of time. It changed into a first, but it felt like none of the alternative firsts Genna ever had. It turned into without a doubt magic.
As they kissed goodbye, Jack confessed to have never sent Genna any gifts before. With such a big shock allover her face, Genna got a little confused. As she entered the house, she met “Jax”- her dad - with one big gift box, for her beautifully marked, “Happy Thanksgiving Day - With Love, Jax”.
