                                    his eyes were blue like the ocean. no matter how many times they stared into each other's eyes, they always found something new about one another.

             it was about a month since they met, and all nicole could talk about was leo. she was crazy about him; as was he. they talked on the phone, went everywhere together. they were the john and yoko of the century.

                 only, they weren't together just yet. nicole found herself falling for leo each day; and she wanted so desperately to tell him how she felt. but it was leo who turned the tables this one evening.

          he took out a cigarette, lighting it up as he breathed in the nicotine. he stared up at the sunsetted sky; smiling as he grasped nicole's hand, rubbing her knuckles with his thumb.  

                       " i'm glad i get to spend these moments with you," he said softly, the cigarette still in between his lips. "you're the best thing that's happened to me since i came to new york. now here we are in california; watching a sunset together."

              "yeah," she said, taking in the view of the colors mounting over one another. "it's perfect."

                  he brought her close to him, his cologne filling up her nostrils. "you're perfect." he whispered in her ear. "nicole?"

             "yeah?"

        " will you be my girlfriend?" nicole looked up to see his ocean eyes; smiling as she said yes.

                  leo took out his  camera, looking through the one photo they had together----it was the day they met, the day they both smoked cigarettes together.

        "let's create a memory," he said, the smoke escaping his lips. "we'll call it, the perfect day."

                     the camera clicked; and they both smiled as the photo of them shone through the screen, the sun shining on their faces; arms wrapped around eachother.

         it truly was the perfect day.
