Ok, you guys know how much I LOVE telling stories,
especially when they are based on real life.
And you know I LOVE knowing something Y’all don’t know and
then getting to tell you.
And you also know how much I LOVE making HUGE, DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS…I’d be the perfect wedding
toast writer…don’t steal that idea I am already putting it in a book….anyway
sit back…I got something to tell you.
Don’t for get to read slowly and click the link so you can hear the
music too.
Are you playing the music…good now do the dreamy wavy thing
from the old sitcoms and picture this.
Nicole stood at the bank of window in the old mid century
ranch style house. The sky was
exceptionally bright tonight. Stars twinkled and danced and the leaves of the
old sycamore tree sang along with the breeze.
Rose Royce drifted from the PA system a soft dreamy song ironically
about wishing on stars and true love.
Nicole sighed deeply; she couldn’t believe Michael had
talked her into coming to his parents house, a house she’d practically grown up
in and packing all the rest of their knick-knacks. Looking around the loft a
sense of sadness washed over her. Michael’s parents moving was actually more
heartbreaking than when her own parents had decided to sell her childhood home
and migrate to the warmer climate of the Florida keys.
Turning she made her way down the stairs and nearly tripped
and broke her neck. Actually she didn’t
fall all the way down, she just missed that one step that caused her to grasp
for air, call on the lord and watch her Thirty three years flash before her
eyes.
She only righted herself and calmed down when the deep
rumble of laughter caught her ears. Shooting a startled glance over the empty
space below she caught Michael as he was bent at the waist grasping for air,
pointing and laughing his ass off at her.
“OhMyGod! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE”
“You’re about to see my foot, up your ass.”
“Whatever, come over here mom left some stuff she wanted you
to have.”
Nicole made her way to were Michael had created a make shift
table out of boxes, There lined in a row were three small velvet boxes.
Pulling her into his embrace Michael settled Nicole and
himself on the floor her back to his chest, their legs tangled.
“Why would your mom leave me jewelry,” Nicole whispered, “wouldn’t
she want your sisters to have it”
“Actually,” Michael said, drawing one long leg in so that it
was across her lap preventing her from moving, I picked out this stuff a while
ago and have been waiting to give it to you.
He leaned forward and grabbed the first box and revealed
tiny platinum earrings in the shape of x’s, slowly he helped her to put them
on.. “so you’ll always have my kisses in your ear” he whispered…
Nicole didn’t say anything but her body trembled. The second
box was opened and the sparkle of a platinum chain caught her eye two circles linked in infinity hugging a huge
pink heart shaped diamond were gently draped
around her neck and clasped together… “so that you will always know we will
always be together…in your heart and in mine…”
Nicole couldn’t help it, the tears began to spill over and
she couldn’t slow her heart beat
Michael opened the final box and placed the huge platinum solitaire
on her finger…”so that you know that no matter how far you run, I will always
be here.”
“I sorta thought you were supposed to ask a woman to marry
you”
“I am not asking any woman anything…I am telling my wife, we
are getting married”
“And if I run?”
“If you try to run I swear I’ll spank you in front of God
and everybody”
“DON” T YOU DO IT NICOLE, WE DIDN’T DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO
MICHIGAN TO BE SCARED FOR LIFE”
“Yeah, it’s bad enough you tricked us into walking in on mom
and dad that one time”
Nicole almost broke Michael’s nose as the voice of her twin
baby sisters rang out in unison, the lights came on and family and friends
poured into the living room with smiles and tears on their faces…
“I can’t believe you planned this” Nicole whispered as she
and Michael stood in the back yard. They’d been hugged and congratulated to
death until finally her sisters had helped them sneak out for a moment alone.
She watched the moonlight twinkle in his eyes…and was moved to tears as he
dropped down to one knee.
“When we were little you used to sneak over here and lay in
the grass with me…when I asked you what you were wishing for you’d always say
true love. Well, here I am… your wish
come true.”
At that moment a shooting star raced across the sky and Nicole
knew this was it…there was no need to wish for anything else..
FADE TO REALITY….
Ok so how was that…
Oh you’re waiting for the announcement still…
