The Pact

12

Mick and Lindsey had managed to get a small 10 show tour booked. The shows would take place in college football stadiums around the west-coast. In return, the band promised to release one last live album.
"Where are you off to so early?" Stevie questioned.
"Mick and I are meeting some of the roadies to go over some last minute details before the tour." Lindsey came over to kiss her on the head.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
After Lindsey had left Stevie got up and put on her robe. She made her way downstairs where there was a vase of flowers on the kitchen counter. She walked over taking a whiff of the beautiful red roses, her favorite. She noticed a note card. She carefully opened it.
Angel,
I know I've been preoccupied with the tour lately. I have something special planned for us tonight. I've had Karen pick up a new outfit for you to wear, it's hanging in the closet. I need you to be ready by 5, not a minute later!
I love you,
Linds
Stevie teared up at his gesture and ran up stairs to see the new outfit. Karen did good. It was a beautiful deep red dress, with chiffon, naturally. She called up Karen almost immediately.
"Hey sweetie, I need you to schedule something with my hair stylist today. Lindsey's taking me out. I can't believe you didn't tell me about this!"

"Honey, I'm home!" Lindsey yelled from the foyer.
He looked at his watch, it was 4:30. He walked upstairs and saw Stevie putting on her makeup.
"Thirty minutes babe." He said walking by her to get in the shower. A few minutes later Lindsey came out of the bathroom to get dressed. He picked out a pair of black slacks and a white dress shirt. He buttoned up his shirt and went back into his closet to pick out a deep red tie to match Stevie's dress.
"Steves? Little help?" He asked throwing the tie around his neck.
"A tie? This must be a special occasion indeed." Stevie said smiling.
She carefully tied his tie, pulling the knot snuggly up to his neck.
"You look so handsome." She said kissing him on the cheek.
Lindsey disappeared back into the bathroom to put on some cologne.
"Linds babe? Can you zip this for me?"
He walked out of the bathroom and saw Stevie in the dress. She took his breath away.
"Stevie. I- I know I say this every time but you look so beautiful. It's like each time you show yourself up."
Stevie smiles and then turns around. Lindsey grabs the zipper and brushes Stevie's long hair out of the way, zipping it up.
His fingers gently brush against her shoulder blades, it sends shivers down her back.
"There." Lindsey says kissing her bare shoulder.
