His Choice

Chapter Four

Driving down this road in January, people were still in line waiting to go inside. Although it wasn't too cold, I wouldn't have been here this early. Seeing how excited Gen was made me happy. Finally finding a parking lot, we walked down Auburn Avenue. We visited the house, grave, and church. We both sat right where Mrs. Scott sat, taking in history.

Around noon, we went out for lunch. We then drove to Centennial Olympic Park, which would've been much enjoyable during the summer, but it was perfect. After a long day, we drove down to the nearest hotel and checked in. Driving was exhausting.

By Febuary 12, we visited Savannah, Valdosta, the Little White House, Atlantic Station, five of the parks, Phillips Arena, Fox theater, Lenox mall, and so much more. Our last stop was Stone Mountain. There we visited the Antebellum Plantation and rode on the skyride. Over all, this was a great honeymoon, especially after every dinner.

We arrived home two days before Valentine's day. I had to think of something quick. Lying down on the bed, we looked up at the ceiling. "You had fun?" She asked. "The best. Next time will be Australia." A smile spread on her face. I embraced her into my arms as we spoke. Finally something came to mind.

I reserved a table at Bacchanalia for this evening. I left her to go search for a wedding/Valentine day gift. Finally getting what I was looking for, I had it delivered at Bacchanalia and went home to get ready.

Once in the room, I met her putting on her make up. In my opinion, she didn't need it. She was the most beautiful woman on earth. She smiled at me in the mirror and I blew a kiss to her. She pretended to get it and placed it on her cheek.

Hitting the shower, I was excited about the evening. Hopefully things would go accordingly. Stepping out of the closet with my black suit on, my wife stood in front of me with a yellow one shoulder dress, capturing all her curves in the right places. She was breath taken. She placed her arm into mine as I led her out to the car. Driving to the restaurant, I couldn't hide my excitement.

We arrived to the place and took a sit on the reserved table which was decorated with roses and a big wine bottle in the middle. I pulled her chair for her to sit and took mine. "Wow, this is beautiful." "Just for you baby." A smile spread on her face.

We ordered our food and conversed until it came. "This is delicious," she said as she tasted the tilapia. At the end of diner, I slid a box to her. "What's this?" She asked. "Open it." Inside was a set of jewelry with our initials engraved on the diamond necklace and a note in French: Jusqu'à présent, je n'ai jamais su le vrai sens de l'amour. Vous êtes ma joie, la mère de mes enfants, l'amour de ma vie. Jusqu'à la mort due partie de nous. Je t'aime.

She leaned in to kiss me. "I have nothing to give you," she said. "Your love is enough." We ended dinner and I was excited to go outside to show the final gift. In front of her was the 2013 Hyundai Elantra. Her hands covered her mouth in surprise. I pressed a button on the remote and my voice said, " For my partner in life." She gave me a hug and a kiss as she entered the car. Perfect. I loved putting a smile on her face. It makes me happy just to see her smile. She drove home behind me.

At home, a hot bath was ready for her as well as some night snacks. Before she got in, I turned on some nice slow rnb songs and put rose petals on the floor to lead her to the bathroom. She came in with her heals in her hands. "What this?" "A special treatment for a special woman," I replied. "Aww baby, this is sweet." I undressed her slowly and watched as she slid into the tub. She no longer hid from me. "Ahhh, this is good." I threw some scented rose into the bath to help her really relax. Although Valentine wasn't until two days from now, I wanted to show her that I didn't need a special day to show my love . "Come here," she said calling me with her index finger. Quickly I kicked off my shoes, got out my clothes, and joined her. Thank goodness the tub was big. Her back was pressed against me as we relaxed. "Thank you baby," she said. "Anything for you," I replied. We made love in the tub and relaxed until the water turned cool. Wanting more, we went to the bedroom. "At the rate we're going, I'll be pregnant in no time," she said. "What's wrong with that?" I joked. She hit my chest. "You're the best," she said with a kiss. "I know," I replied cheesily.
