what does it mean for you?

We celebrated Valentine's Day early this year because I have to work all next weekend... so we figured this weekend would be the best. After all... it's not about the day per say.. but about us.

I had been thinking and planning our night for about two weeks now. I am the planner of our relationship... Ben doesn't plan anything- which is fine. This is how our day unfolded.

Last night.. I made up an excuse to go outside to my car... instead I went to his car and filled the front with balloons, Hershey's kisses, and a note telling him I love him and to have a good day. This morning he called me after I got to work to thank me for it and tell me how much he loved it... that it brought a big smile to his face... and that "I was the best hunny ever". So the morning started out really good.

After work, I came home and straightened the house. I was afraid I wasn't actually going to get everything put together before he got home.. but I pulled it off. I cut up fruit for an appetizer.. blew up more balloons.. laid out rose petals on the ground and bed... lit candles... and started my playlist going that I had put together specifically for this.

When Ben got home... he gave me the cutest stuff bears.. its a couple.. one is dressed as a devil and the other as an angel.. very cute. I kissed him to thank him... very passionately I might add. From there we headed to the bathroom to shower.

While he was shaving afterward, I got into a red satin nighty. I went into our bedroom where I had laid out drinks for us... the fruit, crackers, and cheese.... as well as his card and truffles I made (we decided not to exchange gifts since we're saving for vacation). I went around the room lighting candles then went and waited for him in the bathroom.

After he was done... I led him into our room where we exchanged cards... mine made him cry *grins*. I was pretty proud of it... I made it as well. There's just something to be said about the hand made touch... even if it does cost more.

When we were done, we opened our drink and poured it into the glasses I laid out.. then I took a scarf and tied it around his head. He leaned up against the head board as I hand fed him fruit... it was fun to say the least... and erotic all at the same time. Every couple bits I'd give him the glass to drink and such.... it really turned out better than I had envisioned.

When we were full... I leaned up and kissed him.. working my way down his neck. Ben always makes me feel beautiful and wanted.. but something about tonight... I just felt very sexy. I felt... passionate... and raw... in the wonderful way... that way you can only feel with someone who loves every thing about you... even your flaws.

We had amazing sex... I came... well who knows how many times... on top of our bed covered in rose petals. Afterward, I laid there cuddled up in his arms... thinking how perfect it was... how it was just how Valentine's Day should be... not about jewelry... or flowers.. but about sharing a day... or night with the one you love.

That is what it is to me at least.
