Crush

Part 19

Nikki's p.o.v. -
I had now been living with Ryan for a week and was surprised how much I loved Mikes meals he had planned for me. I was also surprised by how much it helped my muscles and nerves heal.

In just that first week the doctor was impressed at how well I was improving but told me not to overdo anything. She specifically said "Don't go jump off a cliff with Ryan anytime soon."

I said sarcastically "Darn I was hoping I'd be able to by now."

We laughed a little and she said "Keep up the diet your friend has you on it seems to be helping a lot."

Over the coming weeks I continued on this plan of Mikes and going to PT. I was improving by the day.

Suddenly I surprised Ryan when after three months of being on Mikes diet plan and doing the PT to regain movement and strength I walked from the bed to the bathroom without holding anything. He smiled and waited for me to be free.

He proceeded to wrap his strong arms around my waist kissing my lips. He paused for a moment "Would you like to get a gorgeous dress and accompany me to a charity ball in a week?"

My face lit up and I said "Of course. You have to do at least one dance with me though."

Ryan said "Well I can promise a slow dance. I don't do much dancing."

I jokingly said "I'm going to need a dance to at least one other song. Like Thriller."

Ryan looked at me with a glare that could possibly stop someone dead in their tracks "Nice joke baby."

I said "What, the moves aren't that hard to learn."

Ryan laughed at me "I love you, but no!"

I looked at him with cute puppy dog eyes and all he did was glare at me.

Ryan said "Nice try.  That look won't work on me."

I made a sad face with pouty lips and he just ignored it.  I wasn't going to let him win this conversation.

I just didn't know what to do aside from making faces and looking a certain way.

The day of the ball came and I was wearing this gorgeous blue and silver dress with a slit up the left leg.  It was satiny and silky against my skin and when Ryan saw me wearing it and noticed my side twisty braid hairstyle he gasped "Wow!  You almost look like a different person."

I moved closer to my handsome tuxedo clad boyfriend kissing his cheek for a moment before we got to the limo he called for earlier that day.

He helped me inside and helped me arrange my dress as I sat.

I smiled at my sweet man sitting next to me in the limousine and when the car stopped he took my hand helping me out.

He walked me into the building and we entered arms linked.

Everyone involved couldn't help but stare at us as we walked inside.

I kissed his cheek again and took a spin.

One lady told Ryan "She looks like a mix between old Hollywood and a tango dancer."

Ryan accepted the comments but honestly he just wanted me to himself and to hold me close.

In fact he had a plan for that evening but wasn't sure when to do it.
