Mellifluous<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. sweet or musical; pleasant to hear<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It was a typical Sunday morning as I sat outside and listened to the birds chirp their songs and the gentle breeze of fresh morning air pass on by. I pulled out my notebook and wrote poetry of these simple, yet beautiful things happening around me when my phone rang. Without hesitation I let go of my current thought and beautiful surroundings to go answer the phone for I surely knew who it was. As I went towards the phone the sounds of the morning became drowned out by the uproar of the ringing phone on the wall. When I got to the phone, I paused for a second, made a wish and picked up the phone. At first it was silence then her mellifluous voice came over the line.<\/p>\n

    “Hello, is this James?” She asked hesitantly to make sure she called back the right number.<\/p>\n

    “Yes, it is! How is it going Sarah?” I responded with a slight twinge of nervousness to my voice.<\/p>\n

    “Pretty good, James. You call?” She said sounding more pleasant than ever.<\/p>\n

    “Yeah, I did.” I said slowly to avoid the upcoming conversation I have spent the entire week dreading and planning out everything I was going to say.<\/p>\n

    “What’cha need?”<\/p>\n

    “Okay, here is my chance. It is either make it or break it. You got this, no need to be nervous!” I thought to myself as the silence on the line began to build.<\/p>\n

    “James?”<\/p>\n

    “Uhh, yeah. I was wondering if you would… like to go on a date with me to the local diner down the street from us.” I said hesitantly.<\/p>\n

    Silence.<\/p>\n

    For a moment I was torn between two dimensions: one where she says yes, we date, become more than friends and see where things go each of us content with not letting this moment slip; the other where she says no and I would always wonder what could’ve came if I waited just a bit longer, tried just a bit harder or just been a bit better.<\/p>\n

    “Yes.” Her mellifluous voice floods the line, my racing heart is calmed and my destiny is chosen: I for one couldn’t be happier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
