An Unexpected Gift

Chapter 29- 'Breath-taking!'

My apartment was dark, quiet, and eerie; lonely was a better description. I closed the door behind me and then staggered towards the kitchen, I threw my bag on the couch and headed for the bathroom. "How was your date?" I stopped in my tracks, I focused my vision toward the living room when I saw a shadow in the dark. I switched on the lights to see Demetri, I wasn't in any shape to see him, shit! I was drunk! "I... It was ok" I giggled with every word. "Are you drunk?" He questioned slowly moving towards me. "Who cares!" I said as I staggered toward my bedroom, waving him off. I no longer cared how he got in, I just thanked God it wasn't Ryan. "I really don't have time for this, I'm going to bed" I left him in the bedroom doorway, while I stripped and climbed into bed.

I awoke with a killer headache and serenity. I had no idea if I was alone and I never felt like finding out. I reached on the nightstand for my cell but instead found 2 aspirin and a bottled water along with a letter; Good morning my love, Today is your day. Get dressed and meet me at the SUV downstairs. I never knew what to expect but I played along. With ruffled hair and alcohol breath, I got up and did as told.

"Good morning!" He said as he opened the door for me to climb in. He look mesmerizing clad in his short white trousers and green polo, he looked relaxed. "Sorry about last night," I said as we pulled out into the early morning traffic and watched as he looked ahead. "I told mom I would give it a try and I honestly had fun" He still never flinched but commanded the driver. We pulled into a beautiful driveway, some country club. I watched as he came around and opened my door. Still without a word. We entered the foyer where he seemed like a king with ladies smiling and flirting and men hailing him from left to right. "Mrs. Carter if you could please follow me this way", I was approached by a gangly fellow who looked like a personal assistant, I looked at Demetri who smiled while I was now being led away. He brought me to a garden to a private table, "Mrs Carter......." he said, "Ms. Foster" I corrected him. "I'm sorry, you can have anything you like just ask. Mr Carter will be here shortly" suddenly I was showered with gift bags, fruits so much so my tummy was full before the main course and still no sign of Demetri.

"Ms. Foster, May we go?" the guy came back about an hour later, "Go where?" I asked. This day was getting stranger. I was led to a salon where I was completely pampered from head to toe, then I was taken to a boutique where I was placed in a breathtaking pearl neckline, white floor-length sun dress, elegance in its entirety.

"Ms. Foster your car is outside, Mr. Carter would like you to meet him. Enjoy your night!" I smiled. My night? I went through a whole day of pampering and relaxing until I never realized it was 7 pm. I was again on my way to an undisclosed location, I had hardly seen Demetri since he smiled and left me this morning made it even more mysterious, he hardly spoke 3 words!

"Here we are Ms. Foster", I climbed out of the Van in front of a huge building. "Where am I?" I asked but no one answered. I slowly made my way to the entrance where I saw a figure, a sexy, handsome figure in a well-tailored black and white suit with a Lilly in hand. I was breathless as I approached him. "You look stunning" Make it 5! He only said 5 words to me all day. "Shall we" He continued as he held my hand and lead me through glass doors into a completely black room. "Nastascijah?" he called out, "Yes Demetri?" I whispered. "You're giving me a child, a hint of hope. I've seen your love and it's amazing" I couldn't see him in the dark but I was blushing uncontrollably. "I know we've been off to a rocky start but I'll go through it a thousand times with you" He sounded so sexy, but I still had to ask, "What are you saying?", "Will you marry me?" And before I could answer the room started lighting up from Left to right. Diamonds upon Diamonds. Gold, Silver, Heaven!! I was dumbfounded, I didn't know what to say I just stood in awe. "So will you?" Tears started streaming down my cheeks. I looked down to see him kneeling on rose petals, he looked handsome. Could I really do this? Could I really marry this man? And before I could think it my emotions betrayed me. "No, I ca.....nt" I said while breaking down in tears In an instant he sprung up off his knees flung his arms around me then planted his lips on mine. He was smiling with a solemn look in his eyes, then he said, "No matter how long I will have to wait on you Ms. Foster I will because I'm yours forever!"
