SUMMARY: A special Valentine's Day for Charlie & Zoey..


The White House Residence
Feburary 14, 2001


Charlie Young walked up to the residence, as he was planning to take
Zoey for a special Valentine's Day. He & Zoey had been together for
almost 2 years, and were very much in love. But on this day, Charlie
wanted to make Valentine's Day a day that he & Zoey will remember
forever.

Charlie knocked on Zoey's door, and when she opened the door, Charlie
could not believe what he saw.

Zoey was wearing a red valentine's dress, with her hair in a cascade
of curls. Charlie was very much in love with her.

"Zoey, you look positively breathtaking," said Charlie.

"Why, Charlie, thank you, and you look as handsome as the day I met
you."

Both Zoey & Charlie just held hands for about five minutes, a
lifetime for them. They had so much to be thankful for.

"Charlie, I want this to be just a night for the two of us, a night
we will never forget," said Zoey.

"Zoey, I guranteee you, you and I will have this night to ourselves,
and I promise you a wonderful Valentine's Day like none other."

"Well Charlie, in that case, why don't I give you your pre-
Valentine's Day present."

Zoey then gave Charlie the most passioniate kiss he and Zoey ever had
since they began seeing each other. Their kiss lasted 5 minutes.

After their lips parted, Charlie said, "That was the most beautiful
kiss you ever gave, and I love you Zoey Abigail Bartlet. Happy
Valentine's Day, Zoey."

Zoey, with happy tears in her beautiful brown eyes, replied, "Oh,
Charlie, I love you so much, and I would love to spend the rest of my
life with you as your wife. Happy Valentine's Day."

Charlie then replied, "Well, until that day comes, may I escort to
our limo, Ms. Bartlet?"

"Why Mr Young, I would be delighted."

With that, both Charlie & Zoey began their Valentine's Day night.
First it was a romantic dinner & dancing at a Gerogetown beestro,
then a romantic film at the local theatre.

After their Valentine's Day night on the town, they went back to
Charlie's apartment. After they got changed to comfortable clothes,
they opened their Valentine's Day gifts in front of a romantic warm
firplace.

Zoey opened her gift from Charlie. It was a gold necklace & bracelet,
both engraved with the inscription:

"To my wonderful, beautiful, and darling girlfriend,
All my love, Charlie."

"Oh, Charlie, thank you. This is so beautiful." said Zoey.

Zoey gave Charlie a wonderful hug and kiss.

"Okay Charlie, it's your turn."

Charlie opened his gift. It was a framed picture of the two of them
at the state dinner they attended for the Prime Minister last month.

"Oh, Zoey, thank you. This is great, and I will always have this on
my nightstand to remember. I love you so much."

"I love you with all my heart, Charlie."

"Happy Valentine's Day, Charlie."

"Happy Valentine's Day, Zoey."

Both them finally cuddled in front of the fireplace with their
blanket and their arms around each other, spending Valentine's Day
the way they always wanted to. Together!!!!
