“I’m not going to lie to you, I normally don’t care for valentines day. But, this year I’m really feeling the love. I guess something’s in the air.”

       “Oh is that so?” Dimtri captured his lower lip between his teeth as he glanced at her. “Now is there anything or anyone special that changed your opinion?” 

Marina didn’t respond right away. She was to busy trying not to laugh at the man. She could tell he was drunk and wasn’t into the holiday. When she was able to stop laughing she looked over at him. “I can see that. But I do believe that people do those very things now. Without waiting for a special day.”

      Dmitri glanced at Marina, raising his brow at her when she began to laugh and really he couldn’t help but laugh with her. What he had just said was ridiculous, there was no denying that but there was no way he was going to give in and let her ‘win’ “Yeah and last time I checked couples also do all the coupley things without waiting for Valentine’s day, so why shouldn’t we get our special day?” He pointed out, his voice thick with the accent he’s been trying to get rid of. 

“Thanks, man. Not really. Just work. I don’t have many friends so there’s not really much I can do.”

        “Oh no. There’s no way I’m letting you get away with that. We should go out or do something fun together. I promise you’ll have the time of your life”

“It’s my birthday, drinks on me.”

     “Happy birthday!!” Dmitri exclaimed with a wide grin playing across his lips. “Now, do you have any special plans for the day?”

“Does my dress look okay? I keep feeling like there’s something wrong with it?”

      “Your dress looks absolutely perfect, you’re stunning as always. Now how do I look, do I look good enough to be seen in public?” 

“Have you had the chance to try the Strawberries and Creme Lindor chocolates?! They’re so fricking good! Tastes just like Strawberry milk!” Arla smiled at the person next to her, looking down at her basket full of discount valentine’s chocolates. “Here, I have one in my purse.” She reached in a pulled a chocolate out, handing it to the person. “Seriously try it. Tastes like strawberry milk!”

        “Strawberry and Creme Lindor chocolate? That sounds more like heaven then chocolate, well aren’t the two the same?” Dmitri had been out shopping for something sweet when Arla told him about the Strawberry Lindor chocolate.  Dmitri had never truly understood the point of Valentine’s day, the only reason why he looked forward to it each year was because of all of the chocolate. “You really have it in your purse? You’re amazing” He told her once he saw her pull it out of her purse. “You weren’t lying! This is just like strawberry milk!” He told her once he popped one of them into his mouth.
