The Sudden demise of my Love Story

I have decided that it was the perfect occasion. I have thought about it a lot. I have tried to say it a lot of times before this. But courage failed me whenever I tried. I was never able to open my mind to her. But today is the day, because today is her birthday.

She was looking very pretty in the glow of candle lights. In fact she is the prettiest girl on earth. She cut the first piece of cake and I went to her and took that piece on my hand. I hoped that she will not notice the slight shaking of my hand. She opened her mouth and I placed the piece of cake in her mouth, my fingers touching her lips. And our eyes locked - may be the cupid has stuck us with its legendary arrows. I looked at her eyes and she looked at mine, while my hand remained in the same position, slightly brushing her sweet lips. I felt she was about to say something. I was confused whether I should tell her now or I should let her talk first. May be she is going to say the same three words that I have in my mind. I thought it better to let her talk.

She swallowed the cake and said in her sweet tone -

"Man..., I could smell your soap from those fingers."
