It was about two weeks after Joe and Kathleen found out about each other and started going out.

Kathleen was happy now, very happy, but for some reason, she could not bring herself to find out what was going on with her store. She couldn't bear to see a Baby Gap, or anther Clothing store in place of her mother's store.

Brinkley came over and licked her face. She laughed, patted the dog's head, and went back to her writing.


An hour later...

The door opened up and Joe came in. He walked over to Kathleen, kissed her neck, and said, "Hello."

Kathleen stopped writing, turned around in her chair, and kissed him, "Hello to you too."

"I think you could use a break," Joe told her.

She sighed and said, "You know what, your right."

"Good, because I've got a surprise for you."

Kathleen had a very shocked look on her face, "A surprise... for me?"

"Of course for you," he held out his hand to her, "Come on." She took it and stood up and they walked to the door.

"What is it?" she asked.

Joe shook his head, "It's a surprise."

"Come on. Give me a hint?" Joe shook his head, "Please?" she gave him the sad puppy dog look.

Joe smiled at her, gave her a little kiss on her nose, and said, "Nope."

Kathleen sighed and the two walked out onto the street. Joe hailed a taxicab and they climb into the back seat.

"Where to?" The driver asked.

Joe handed him a piece of paper, a few extra dollars, and said, "Say nothing and be quick." The driver nodded his head and drove off.

Kathleen looked over at Joe and saw him take something out of his pocket. Her eyes widened and she said, "A blind fold!?"

Joe smiled and said, "I can't have you peeking now can I?"

Kathleen sighed and said, "Fine!" she allowed him to put the blindfold on her face.

"Can you see anything?"

"No," She said honestly.

"Good," he held her hand in his, and they drove all the way to their destination in quietness.


About ten minutes later the driver came to a stop and said, "We are here."

"Thank you," Joe said and paid the man.

Joe helped Kathleen out of the car and she asked, "So, where are we?"

"Nice try, but I am not going to tell you."

Kathleen sighed. She had no choice but to follow Joe, mainly because he was guiding her to the destination.

Joe brought her into a building, that's as much as she knew. What she didn't see was that Joe held his finger to his lips making sure that everyone stayed quiet. "Are you ready?" Joe asked.

"Very ready! Please take this off of me!!" Kathleen started to get very impatient.

Joe ripped the blindfold off and everyone screamed, "SURPRISE!!!!"
