 Saturday was great even though she was a little sore. Gage had told her they would be going out to dinner tonight. She made sure to get all the confidence she cold muster because tonight was the night she was going to tell him. Time seemed to be just flying by and in three weeks she would be named the Donna of Dons, The true Queen of Kings. Her heart was stuck in her throat almost all day and never in her life have tears threaten to fall as much as they have all day. Gage noticed her acting weird and was really hoping his plans of the night won't be ruined. He's been thinking this over a lot. Talking it over with his friends, her friends, her father and family. His family. Taking a deep breath he finally had everything set up. Tonight would be the night he's been working on for a while.

Tessa could not believe she had to spend most of the day at her office. Preparing a few things she would need to get done as so she could work from home for the next couple of days. If Gage takes the news as badly as she hopes he wont he will need a few days away from him to let him have enough space to think. She asked a few of her men if their girlfriends would work as a maid to get her place ready jus tin case. Fill the fridge with a list of specific things, get her closet ready. Her office make sure the fax and everything was running at the highest of speeds. She wanted to make sure Gage would feel better of coming into the office without her being around. Making sure Lincoln had pushed all her meetings to be elsewhere other than the office itself. Tessenia hasn't even seen a calendar since a few weeks back when she made Lincoln her P.A.

After walking out the office she found Gage in dark washed jeans and a beautiful black button downed shirt that made his muscles he's been getting with her father pop. How she could just lick him up and down that wash board body. "BABE!" "Sorry what?" "I said I have a surprise for you. I want to take you somewhere special for dinner tonight." Laughing at her as she was beaming red like a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar. He knew she was having special thoughts he was hoping to turn into a reality tonight. "Oh, yeah, that sounds great. Lead the way. Am I dressed ok?" Wearing a white sundress with her flip flops, her hair was half up and half down wearing the matching wolf necklaces he had made for them. His was a white wolf for her and hers was black for him and they were the Ying & Yang style.

"You never cease to amaze me on how beautiful you truly are." Gage looking down at her like she was the most precious thing he's ever held putting a stray hair behind her ear. "Come on it's a short walk." Taking her by the hand he lead her down the towns biggest park trail. It was evening so the sunset just barely set. They followed a trail of fairy lights making everything look like a little fairy tale. Biting the bullet she couldn't take it anymore. "Gage I need to talk to you about that important thing. Before I lose all nerve and back out." "Alright baby, I'm all ears." "OK well in three weeks there is going to be a huge party like huge. It's another promotion I'm getting that will change everything for me, which could possibly change things for us but only if we let it. I was hoping you would be my date." "Tessenia that's wonderful. Is that what you been so worked up about I mean this is good news. I'm proud of you of course I'll be there. What's the promotion though I mean you own and operate like thousands of companies already. It's kind of hard to think of what's like left after that." Gage was teasing her as they came to the end of the trail.

"That's the thing. Gage I've been struggling so long on how to tell you this so I'm just going to come out and say it. Babe I'm part of the." "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSA!" A huge crowd of people from everywhere the underworld, Families all over the world, coworkers of legit businesses all of their friends and families. Looking at the banners and the beautifully decorated park covered in people politicians, hospitals staff hell half the state probably here. How could so much time gotten away from her that she forgotten her own birthday. Angelo smiling the brightest of them all proud of his baby. "Happy Birthday baby!" Gage whispered to her kissing her deeply. Smiling at him knowing it's all his doing. "Thank you." The DJ called out to bring her on stage for a few words. Food was being passed al the way around.
