Chapter nine

I spent the next few days working on paintings for the upcoming auction, Toni and I were getting on well but we're definitely not as close as we used to be. He was working a lot more than usual and I was concentrating on my art work, which was actually helping me relax a little. After a crazy couple of months, I needed to de-stress and by working on art it helped.

*********

I woke up to see that I was alone, Toni wasn't home which was strange because it was Sunday, on Sundays Toni and I both have a day off of work.

I had a quick shower then got dressed, I made my way down to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. I couldn't be bothered with something that'd take long to make so I just had some simple porridge.

As I began washing the dishes, I heard the front door open, I walked to the hallway to see Toni holding many boxes covered in red and silver wrapping paper, he had a big smile plastered on his face and had his eyebrows raised.

"What's all this?" I asked slightly confused.

"Wait, you don't remember? Have you forgotten what the date is?"

"So are you going to tell me?"

Toni place the boxes on to the ground and walked towards me, he pushed me towards the wall and placed one arm on my waist and the other against the wall.

"Happy valentines day babe." Toni whispered in my ear. He then brushed his lips against mine whist his hand made it's way up my sweater.

He moved his face back and smiled then pressed his lips on to mine, I kissed him back, moving in sync with one-another, the kiss was slow and passionate.

"graças amor" I spoke whilst trying to catch my breath.

Toni moved back but held my hand and walked towards the boxes on the ground. "These are for you." Toni smiled. "Have a look at them, then get ready we're going out."

"Thank you, but I haven't got you anything. I completely forgot that it was valentines day, I'm sorry"

"I don't need anything but you so it's cool." Toni pulled me into a hug. "I love you."

*********

After a couple of hours, after I got dressed into a red midi dress then put on a black coat and some black flats. We made our way to the car, Toni opened the passengers seat and led me in then walked over to the drivers seat.

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"I was thinking we could grab some lunch then maybe go to the mall."

We drove to a small diner for lunch, we sat in a booth at the back, I looked around to see the cute valentines decorations, there were red and white love heart cut outs along the ceiling and some were flowing downwards, also there were many heart shaped balloons floating around. There was a happy and calm atmosphere in there. Couples at each table, holding hands, chatting away and some even making out.

"I'm glad that you're happy, and I'm really proud of you and your art work, I know how hard you've been working lately." Toni smiled.

"Thanks, thanks for letting me go forward with it."

"No need to say thanks to me, it's because of your talent and you deserve it." Toni paused for a moment but then spoke again. "So shall we eat now?"

Toni and I ate lunch in a comfortable silence but every so often Toni spoke and I spoke back. After lunch we went to an ice cream parlour. 

As we entered the parlour, it reminded me of my childhood. My parents used to take me to an ice cream place every other day as a child, it was close to my home and I used to spend a lot of time there, especially after my mom died, I'd go there and sit for hours in complete silence. But everything changed after I met Brendon, he understood me and helped me realise that there's always something more to life than misery and that staying alone wont always help, then I met Toni and I felt as if life was actually getting better again.

"Are you okay babe?" Toni tapped my shoulder.

"Yeah, why?"

"You just seemed kinda lost, let's eat some ice cream."

After Toni bought us both some ice cream, we sat in the car whilst we ate it. We then drove to the mall and wandered around for a while, Toni held on to my hand most of the time but let go when ever I looked at something.

"I think you should get this." Toni pointed to a low cut navy dress.

"It's a little short though, don't you think?"

"Yeah but it'll look amazing on you."

"Whatever, fine." I laughed.

*********

After a few hours we went home. As I walked into the kitchen, I saw that the dining table was covered in red cloth and there were candles lit in the middle, rose petals scattered around the table, plates with food on and wine poured into glass cups.

"This is so cute, who did it?" I asked.

"I have my ways of showing you my love, I had someone set it out before we got home." Toni wrapped his arm around me and kissed my cheek.

As we sat down Toni spoke "I want to tell you that I love you a lot and I'm really sorry for all the mistakes that I've made. I've realised how much you mean to me and that I can't stay away from you. I love waking up to the sight of your beautiful face every morning and I love hearing your voice the last thing every night."

"Oh my, I urm..." I was interrupted by Toni pressing his lips against mine and his hands were all over my body, I allowed him to. We stood up and I got onto the tip of my toes and returned the kisses back.

Toni picked me up bridal style and carried me up to our room. Our bed was covered in rose petals and the lights were already dimmed.

"I love you." Toni breathed in my ear as he put me down on the bed.
