Back Of The Store, Front Of My Mind

(My boyfriend and I work odd shifts, with him not always being able to see me. It’s a slow day, and I’m working at my register. I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. My manager is standing there, with a concerned look on his face.)

Manager: “I need you to go back to site-to-store.”

(I’m confused, since I’m not trained to work back there.)

Me: “Is there a problem?”

Manager: “Just go.”

(I head to the back of the store. I get the surprise of my life when I see that not only is there an insane display of fresh roses, but also a huge balloon. I look behind me and find my boyfriend standing there with the biggest smile on his face.)

Boyfriend: “Surprise!”

Me: *laughing as I hug him* “What’s all this about?”

Boyfriend: “I just wanted to do something special for you, and see you smile.”

(I got to go home early that day, which was the icing on a perfect day!)
