I Love You More Each Day

Anrym was busy at her desk at the Front Office answering calls for Room Reservations when Butch, the Head
Waiter approached her and gave her a small piece of paper with writings on it..
" For You, from our diner at the poolside." He said.

" For room reservations ? " She asked without reading it as the phone was ringing and she's about to answer.

Butch smiled and said " No, please read it ! " Then he added, " He is nice, you will like him. " and hurriedly left.
The call was a wrong number. As she put down the receiver, she read the note : " May I invite you for dinner, Anrym ? "
Signed. ..Seargent Mel

Anrym wondered, " Who are You ?" She placed the piece of paper near her telephone and continued reviewing the Room Reservations book. She did not notice her Manager Sir Louis was there and a very tall man in uniform behind him.

" Anrym" Sir Louis was talking to her and she looked at him and his companion.
" Sgt. Mel approached me and asked my permission to invite you for dinner after you are off at 5.. He seemed nice and I said Yes ..for you " Sir Louis smiled .

Anrym was speechless as the man offered her hand to her and said, " I am Sgt. Mel, may I have the honor to invite you for dinner . I already asked permission from the hotel owner. "
She did not accept his hand so he placed his hand in his pocket .
Their eyes met . Anrym remained speechless . He asked again"
" May I pick you up at 5 then ? "
Sir Louis said " You can go with him, Your Ma'am Jinky approves too."
Ma'am Jinky is Sir Louis wife..

Anrym looked at Sgt. Mel and as their eyes met again, she said in a whisper
" Yes " .
Sgt. Mel said his thanks to Sir Louis then he Shaked his hand and was about to leave when he turned his looks at her and said " Thank You" with a big smile and left .

Anrym kept herself busy and at quarter to five she went to the ladies room . She brushed her teeth and combed her long jet hair that flows freely at her back. Then went back to her desk.
At exactly 5 in the afternoon Sgt. Mel was standing in front of her and still in his military uniform. He smiled and said
" Five o'clock, as promised ".
Anrym got her shoulder bag and they both left.

He was driving a military jeep. He told her that he will return the jeep at the military camp which is just nearby and they will both take a taxi to his hotel for him to change his clothes then they will proceed to have dinner .

While at the jeep he told her that he is on 6 months mission in the Philippines . He is here to repair the military airplanes and at the same time train some selected soldiers on how to do ii.
He belongs to a Special Forces in U. S. Army. She only smiled and listen to him attentively. He is a six footer and good looking. Anrym told herself.

While inside the taxi , he asked her :
" Where would you like to have dinner ? "
She replied, " I am from the province, about a hundred kilometer from here. I am not familiar with the places here in the city. From work to the boarding house and back is the only place that I am very familiar. I am sorry I cannot give you an answer for that. We can have dinner at the restaurant by the poolside at the hotel that I am working, that's the only restaurant that I am very familiar " she honestly said .

He seemed surprised with her answer and told her, " There is this nice place that I went with my fellow US Army soldiers, I love it, surely you will love it.
It's called SkyView Revolving Restaurant
, we will be there. "

On the way to the restaurant, they told each other's information. She told him her parents are in the province and she sees them every Wednesday, her day off. It was a Sunday when they first met.
" I will go home on Wednesday " she said
" I wish to go with you and meet your parents and your whole family " he said.
She did not reply . " Is that a Yes ? " He asked again.
" Oh.. I forgot. This Wednesday will be my cousin's birthday. She works at the same hotel as an accountant and she's the one who brought me here in the city. I am staying in her room with two beds. I told my parents already of not going home this Wednesday but next Wednesday. "
" Next Wednesday then, may I go with You ? " She did not reply .
He continued talking " Thank You very much for accepting my dinner invitation
and making me very happy " He got her right hand and kissed it to her surprise

They had dinner at the Revolving Restaurant. She told him " I am not used to this, please order food for me. At the hotel where I work, it's my cousin who always gives order to the waiter. "
He said " You are being honest. Yes...I order food for the two of us. "

To be continued.
It is already 150 in the morning. I am sleepy already.
Please do not review this yet.
I need to finish writing this tomorrow..
Thank You
