“I’m fine!” She said.

“Are you really okay?” He asked her just to make sure that she really was.

“Yes, I am okay.” She answered with full assurance but she was getting choked with her pain. May be it was just her mood swings but it was terrible and she could hardly take in a full breath. She could feel the stress all over her body and it was making her sick.

“Do you want me to cancel my plans for tonight and stay with you?” He was wondering if she was really okay or not.

“Noooo, don’t cancel your plans for me. It was just my mood. I’m okay.” She actually wasn’t but she didn’t want to spoil his evening.

“Are you sure? You don’t mind if I go?”

“Yes! Go! I’m okay.” She answered.

“Alright!” He said as he took his phone out of his pocket and called his friend.

“Hey! What’s up? I just called to tell you that I won’t be able to make it tonight.”
He looked at her as he spoke and continued on the phone, “Yeah! Sort of,” he smiled at her as he spoke. “Okay! I’ll see you soon. Bye.” He hung up and put the phone back into his pocket.

“What?” She was surprised.

“Nothing, I cancelled my plans. There is nothing great in a burlesque anyway.” He answered.

“But why did you do that? A burlesque?! Go! I asked you to go, I’m really okay. I’m fine.”

“Ya, there you go again. ‘I’m fine, I’m really okay, GO’…” He said with a grin.

” YES! I did because I really am,” she was blushing, smiling, happy, excited. She was just happy that he was actually staying though she didn’t want him to cancel his plans for her.

He took her hands into his and looked into her eyes as he said, “Baby, I don’t remember where I read this from or if someone told me.
When a girl says she’s OKAY, she is actually NOT.
When a girl says she’s FINE, she is NOT fine.
When a girl says GO, she wants you to stay.
And YOU said it all just now at one time. That’s when I knew I had to be here with you.”

She laughed, she had no words. She just hugged him tight.
He hugged her back and asked again.
“Are you okay now?”
“Ya!” She answered.
“Okay! Now I know you are fine and remember there is nothing more important to me than this.”

She hugged him tighter and closed her eyes to feel his love. All her stress and pain melted away. She just knew she was a lucky woman, the luckiest she had ever been.
