It was extremely cold night I was taking the Aces train to Las Angeles California from New York, for a week long vacation of rest and relaxation. I could have caught the plane to LA, but I like sightseeing so I took the train. I brought puzzle books, national geographic magazines and games on my phone to keep me busy while I was on my journey,at on of the stops the train made which is many on a long trip as this is,a tall handsome middle age man,very masculine hot body boarded the train. Looking straight at me caught my eye,he walked up and interduce himself my name is Michael,is anyone sitting in the seat next to you,no!I'm LillyRose a pleasure to meet you.

Michael and I engage in a long conversation,but it was getting late and I excuse myself to my sleeping car to sleep. Michael responsed by I would love too see you for breakfast I agreed.

Morning came we met finished our conversation,I spoke of my trip to California,he was going to Arizona,to visit his parent and family. I told him I was going for rest and relaxation,shopping enjoying the beaches,Disneyland and Universal Studios. Sound fun Michael response,I could meet you in a couple of days too spend sometime together,getting to know each other if you agree. I said I would enjoy getting to know you better,he called from Arizona two days later.

He came to LA,we enjoyed each other company we talked about our jobs Michael was a medical doctor,general medicine,my company sold medical supply to different hospital and clinics,across the united state. Michael however worked for a hospital in the DC area. I been with my company for 10 years and Michael has been working for the hospital for 2 years in Arizona before moving to Washington DC hospital for 5 years.

I couldn't image how much fun I was having on my vacation,this was the best vacation I ever had in my adult life. We took walk on the beaches,ate at lovely restaurant's, visit Hollywood blvd,walk a fame, Disneyland and finally Universal Studios.

We had so much fun we didn't want to leave our lucky meeting each other vacation. It was time to travel back home we plan on being in each others life dating too see how life will treat us together. The next morning we headed back to borde the train home, touching,holding each etc. Michael said he would call to see if I made it home safely when he exit the train in Washington DC.

I arrived home safely tried but happy that I had the most amazing vacation ever,did I think Michael was going to call me? No I didn't,even though we clicked enjoying one's company. I though it was last that I would hear from him, the phone ringer went off and it was Michael,I answer this is Michael calling like I said I would. I just made it home inside, thanks for checking on me my response was, I headed for the shower to freshing up,to take a nap I am tried yet had the best time of my adult life. Michael comment he had the best time in his adult life as well.

Micheal ask if he could come up to New York to go out for dinner and a movie tonight,I would love too my response was. Michael I will be at your place around 6'oclock,I'll be ready,Michael came a little early and we started out for dinner and a movie. It was a very lovely night,I was so tried from the vacation,movie and dinner I just fell a sleep didn't wake up until 10'oclock a.m.

I know you what your thinking I was late for work,no I wasn't still had a couple days before I had to be back to work. Michael called as I was waking said good morning I said good morning,he said did I sleep well yes I did my response was, how well did you sleep his response was excellent Awesome. He ask if I would like to meet for breakfast and could I stay in town for lunch if it was okay with me,sure I would love too.

I rode the train to DC to meet Michael for breakfast,later for lunch. We met for breakfast as always we enjoyed each other company. I took a car while shopping waiting on Michael for lunch,again the best time ever so I invited Michael to dinner in which I was cooking. He agreed and came for dinner,I was starting too really fall for Michael really hard but I didn't want my heart broken. I never let myself get that close to anyone before afraid of getting hurt. But Michael seems to be different it just felt that way,I would love to see how far it goes.

Its been two years now since I met Michael,he ask me to marry him,of course I said Yes a big Yes. We was married in December. This is a story on how I met my soulmate on a train to California for a week long vacation.
