This is our first Valentine's Day celebration together. Earlier on, I was told by Clifford that it would be a simple meal and 3 stalks of white cala lilies to celebrate our first Valentine's. Just a day before, I had set my mind on buying him a present but I needed an excuse to break away from him in order to buy it. I began my conspiracy with my friend, Clarence. I caused some displeasure when I broke the news that I would not be meeting Cliff after work. I would be going to Clarence's house for a CNY visit. Cliff was very upset, disappointed and somewhat angry. To him, I had 'cheated' him of his feelings that I cancelled him out despite I agreed that I would meet him.
Seeing that this matter might be blown out of hand, I decided to reveal my real motive. I was tickled by his reaction on one hand and on the other, I almost wanted to kill him. When I revealed my intent, he was relieved. However, I wouldnt not say what I was buying. My trip to the shopping mall was a fast one because I knew what I wanted to get him - Digital Photo Frame.
With Clarence's help, I was very happy with the 'new toy'. Clarence even gave me the idea of putting it into a big DHL box & wrapped it up with a huge wrapping paper. OKok.. I did used a little of his idea by putting the present in a big brown box.
On Valentine's Day, Cliff had suggested for us to have lunch together. He kept bugging me to reveal what I bought. To prevent him pestering me, I said ... an Omega watch. At lunch, he mentioned that before we proceed to dinner ar Temasek Club tonight, he needed to be at Ritz Carlton Hotel to help a friend with a Valentine's Day surprise for the girlfriend.
At 3.30pm, back in the office, Cliff's bouquet hadnt arrived. All day, my colleagues' eyes were on me. Although I have been getting flowers every month, I should be getting a bigger one on this special day. In my heart, I knew that it wouldnt be the case. To me, the thought of spending time with him is already enough. I dun care the size of the bouquet or the cuisine we were gonna have. When the flowers came, I knew for sure that Cliff would be mad ... it was not the kind we expected. He received my MMS and immediately, he dashed out to get me another bouquet. I was touched but I told me it was alright. I did not want him to spend so much. I am happy with just the 3 water lilies.
Cliff was at my office at 5.30pm to pick me for dinner. I was excited to give him his BIG Present. On his car was a bouquet of red roses to make up for the 3 lilies. He shouldnt had. But deep down in my heart, I was very happy.During the drive to Ritz Carlton Hotel, Cliff explained that his friend needed help to pass something to his Japanese girlfriend as a Valentine's Day surprise. I learnt that the Japanes gf is VERY pretty, like a model. Our arrival at the hotel turned out to be very early so we sat in the car while Cliff opened his present. He was like a little boy, ripping away the wrappers. He liked it! He read my card and there was a moment when his eyes were wet.
From the carpark to the lobby, I was looking forward to meeting the Japanese gal. As soon as we got out of the lift, Cliff made a call to his friend, only to learn that his friend would be late by 15mins. Cliff reminded his friend to hurry up as we had our own dinner too. Since his friend had not arrived, we decided to look around ... we visited the washroom, he introduced Greenhouse resturant to me and finally, we sat at the lobby, waiting. Cliff answered a call and took off. I was wondering where he was going. His friend had called and Cliff had gone to meet him. I was looking at how the staff worked when Cliff came back and told me to follow him. He told me that his friend was still getting the stuff ready and would meet us a little further down the hotel corridor. At Greenhouse, he suddenly stopped and spoke to the waitress. I heard him asking for a table. At that point, I thought he was being cheeky and decided to play a joke with the waitress. Later on, it seemed that they were looking for his name on the reserve list. I was like, "harlow!!! What is going on here?" With his cheeky grin, he revealed that he made a booking this morning for our Valentine's Day dinner. I was shocked!
We were told to take a seat at the lobby while the waitress looked thru the list for Clifford's name. Up till now, I was still surprised ... pleasantly surprised! As I sat there absorbing everything, Cliff broke the silence. He said that he had something to tell me and that I would be very angry with him. This got me worried. He told me that there is an Amercian gal by the name of Tiffany, staying in Ritz Carlton. She was here for a visit, She is very pretty and She is very tall. That got me puzzled as to what Cliff was trying to say. His expression told me that something was about to happen that would make me feel horrible. To ease the atmostphere, I managed a laughter and told him that he must be up to something. I hit him on his chest to stop pulling my leg.
His eyes said a thousand 'sorry' and at that instant, my chest did not feel good. Slowly, he revealed that, he likes Tiffany. At that instant, my heart sank ... my eyes searched the lobby ... I could no longer face him. I did not want to face him. I did not feel at all good inside. He went on to say that he likes the girl alot and he wanted me to meet her. I DONT WANT TO ... my heart screamed. He thought that it was not advisable to meet yet ... maybe later on, after dinner. Following that, he also told me about his disappearance for awhile this afternoon, he came to the hotel to look for her. Straightaway, I asked him if they kissed or did anything. He shook his head but his eyes still said a thousand 'sorry'. By now, the feeling in my heart got worse. I looked away and tried to understand what was happening. I wished that all these were not true as I wondered what was going on ... how did things turned out like this.
He picked up a call and it appeared to be Tiffany. He told her that he would like for us to meet. I DONT WANT TO! I DONT WANT TO! I could no longer think. The next thing, a turquoise box appeared on my lap. Huh?!? 'TIFFANY'!
Baskettt ... I was fooled. There was no gal by the name of Tiffany staying in the hotel, there was no liking her alot, there was no spending the afternoon with her today. There it was ... TIFFANY from New York (America), Cliff was in 'her hotel room' (TIFFANY shop at Ngee Ann City) this afternoon and he likes TIFFANY (who doesnt). Sitting in the turquoise box laid Tiffany bracelet ... for me.
My heart sighed a relief. I had never never NEVER been soooo emotionally affected in a matter of minutes. I am thankful that it was all not true.
*Cliff dear, thank you for this Valentine's Day 'shock'. You had almost took the life in me.
Thank you for the nice movie clip which you did as a distraction for what was about to come in the day.
Thank you for the bouquet of lilies which you had no sample picture to look at.
Thank you for your red roses which you dashed around to replace the lilies.
Thank you for the lovely buffet dinner at Ritz Carlton's Greenhouse with a bottle of Rose Champagne to go along.
Thank you for TIFFANY (bracelet)... the one that almost took my breathe away.
Thank you for making this our first Valentine's day celebration to be a special one.
Thank you for ever so loving me so dearly and deeply.I love you, Cliff dear .... as always.*
