| Nikita finally arrived back at her apartment hours later to find, to her surprise, flowers and a box on her doorstep. ‘Looks like Mic’s been up to his old tricks again’ she murmured to herself in distaste but picked both the flowers and box up and took them inside. She threw them both on her counter but the card attached to the flowers caught her eye-it was beautifully hand embroidered with a gold wavy strip. She opened it up and as she read it tears flowed down her cheeks. The card read: To the other half of my heart, I love you so much that I cannot even begin to tell you in words how much you mean to me. There is not a day that passes by that I don’t need to see you, touch you, talk to you, and share my life with you. I hurt you deeply today and for that I am sorry. It is and never was my intention to hurt you. I need to make up for that pain now and for all of the pain of the past. Please accept these flowers and wear this for me. Until tonight my love, Michael With tears still streaming down her face she opened the box and gasped…there was a beautiful silk baby blue dress with spaghetti straps. It was the most beautiful thing that she had ever laid eyes on. He must have spent a fortune on it. Her eyes caught a second note inside the box: My love, The beauty of this dress cannot even beging to compare to the Beauty of your soul. You are not only lovely on the outside But even more so on the inside and I thank you for That gift which you have given me. Yourself. Wear this with pleasure and I will see You tonight at 7pm hopefully, In this beautiful dress. Love, Michael After recovering from the shock of things Nikita quickly checked the time. She had 3 hours before Michael would be here. She smiled as she grabbed her purse and keys and headed out the door. She was going to be a knockout that Michael wouldn’t soon forget as she headed to the nearest beauty salon to get her hair, makeup, and nails done. 2 hours later and Nikita was back at her apartment ready to finish getting ready. She was really looking forward to this evening. She had decided that she was going to tell Michael about their child tonight, after they returned from wherever he was going to whisk her off to. She smiled at the thought as she pulled on her nylons before putting the dress on. She still couldn’t believe how exquisite the dress was. It had matching shoes and a shawl to go with it. It had to be a collectors item. Nikita had just finshed dressing when the doorbell rang and she knew instantly who it was. She expertly wrapped the shawl around her shoulders gave herself one more look in the mirrior and went to answer it. She smiled as she answered the door and nearly fainted at the sight that Michael held. He was in a tux, all black of course, with a red rose in his hand for her. ‘Gosh it should be illegal to look that lethal’ Nikita thought as she stepped aside to let him come in. ‘She’s trying to kill me’ he thought. ‘How could anyone be as gorgeous and exquisite as his kita?’ he smiled at the thought, ‘they couldn’t, she was one of a kind and she was all his’ he smiled at this thought and thanked whatever gods that had given her to him. “Are you ready?” Michael asked in a whisper with eyes that told her just how much this meant to him that she had accepted his apology. Her eyes danced as she nodded slowly and allowed him to lead her out of the door and into a night that she would not soon forget. It was the beginning of a new life…for both of them…for all 3 of them. |
