Robbie had a limousine waiting for their trip into Manhattan
to get Jill heavier winter clothes. Since she returned to the east coast, she
was still adjusting to the winter weather. Robbie brought her to top line designer
shops in the garment district. Finding her size was a challenge, since
everything had been marked down to make room for the spring line. Jill wound up
getting three pairs of dress boots,
Their last stop was to grab a cup of coffee at Starbucks
before heading to the office for the meeting Robbie had set up with the
producer and other writers. As soon as the elevator doors to the office opened Gary
Nelson was waiting for them at the reception desk with a bottle of water in his
hand.
“Jill, so nice to see you again. Come, follow me to the
conference room.” He reached his hand out to shake Robbie’s. “Nice going, bro.
You’ve found us a gem.” They walked into the conference room where Jill and
Robbie sat down opposite the folder on the table.
“I’ve enjoyed all the scenes you wrote. The flow of the
characters are natural and I’m loving where you’re taking it.” Gary opened the
folder in front of him. “The only problem I have is with the
“Robbie spoke to me about that earlier. I was thinking we
could eliminate a few of the sets if we taped outside. I was thinking of a few
scenes in Central Park.”
“I like how that sounds. Do you think you can make the
adjustments and have them ready for me by early next week?”
“Sure I can.”
“Perfect.”
For the next hour, Jill met with two of the other writers to
go over scenes and how they were going to intertwine the plots. By the time
they finished, Jill had made a few pages of notes on what she needed to do when
she got home. She had the perfect idea on how to make the changes to the
script. It would just be a little tweaking here and there and some rewriting.
Robbie squeezed her knee under the table. She glared at him
and smiled. Ten minutes later Robbie led her out of the building and back into
the limo. The seat opposite them was packed with bags. In less than three hours
she had purchased a brand new winter wardrobe.
“Do you know what today is?” Robbie asked smiling.
“Yes. It’s Thursday.”
“I don’t mean that. Driver can you stop at the next corner?”
Robbie asked. The car came to a halt. “You wait here. I’ll be right back. I
forgot to buy something.”
When Robbie got out of the car, Jill turned the radio on
low. She looked around and couldn’t imagine where Robbie had gone. The limo
door opened and Robbie slid back in with a dozen red roses and a big red heart.
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” he said, handing them to Jill.
“Oh my God.” Jill said as she took the flowers and candy
from Robbie. “I totally forgot
with everything going on. “Thank you.”
“You’re evening has just begun. Our next stop is dinner in
Little Italy.”
“We’re never going to get a table. It’s…”
“It’s been all arranged.” They pulled up in front of
Umberto’s. The driver opened the door and she slid out after Robbie. “I want
tonight to be perfect.”
“Being here with you is all I need. You have done so much
for me today. You bought me all these beautiful clothes, then the roses and
chocolate and now this. I can’t believe how lucky I am.”
Robbie chuckled. “You haven’t seen anything yet. You’re
going to love what I have planned for the evening.” Before they walked into the
restaurant, Robbie kissed her softly on her lips. “Tonight is all about you and
all about love.”
