Slow Love

Leaving Turks and Cacios

We get up and we are eating breakfast, the staff packs us up to return to Minneapolis.Most of what I brought will stay as we are coming back next week. I don't have much to go home with. I don't want to leave. I can't wait to be back here in a week. I am dreading surgery tomorrow. I know how this goes to be and it ain't pretty. With him, it will make it easier for me. I hope he truly understands and I hope I don't lash out at him. He loves me and no matter what, I have to keep my cool. Well,I'll deal with it. Yesterday was amazing. I love that man,unconditionally. He just loves buying me pretty things. I loved that necklace set. Just don't have anywhere to wear it yet. But that outfit, that was just up my alley. I loved, loved, loved it. That would have been enough but I know him. He is a hopeless romantic. So I indulge him as much as he indulges me. He loves to do it. And it is pointless to fight about it. He's going to win and I let him. Here he is and says, "Are you ready to leave?" I said, "I'll never be ready to leave this place. But if I have to go, yes, we can leave now." He says, "Baby, we will be back next week." I said,"Yeah, I know but not like this." He says, "Baby, don't worry about it. You will get better fast and we can enjoy ourselves." I'm like, 'but there won't be the amazing sex'. He gives me that side eye and says, "We will manage. You will see." I am thinking,Wanna Bet? He is probably worried about keeping Mr Happy to himself and I'm more worried how much I'm going to want it but know I shouldn't. You know how one thing leads to another. Well, we will deal with it. I am glad we did this trip. It makes me feel more comfortable about the surgery. I know he loves me and nothing will ever change that. Kirk brought the car up and the staff is loading our things. I just have this little bag of stuff and he has like a bunch of stuff. What's that all about? Oh well, we head to the airport. It is really interesting how when you fly a private plane,you go into the tarmac area and just get out of the car and right on the plane. Nancy is there to greet us and we get seated. She asks how our trip was? I replied, "Lovely." If she only knew how amazing it really was. He told her cheese and fresh fruit after take off. I said, how about some champagne? He said, "Excellent idea." I know she has to be wondering what is up. We get cleared and we are on our  way home. After leveling off Nancy brings our food and champagne. She says, "Something to celebrate?" He says, Nancy you met Gigi on our trip down. I want you to know, we have been Best Friends for almost 30 years and discovered we are madly in love with each other.So yes, we are celebrating that." Nancy replied, "That is nice Mr. Nelson. I wish you two the best." I looked at him dead on from across the table. He says, "What's wrong Baby?" Just like as a matter of factly. I took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you just take out a full page ad in the New York Times or USA Today?"He thinks a minute and says, "Well, maybe I should?" I said,"Wait until later, then do that if you must." He says, "Baby,it was your idea." I said, "I was being sarcastic you fool. But I love you anyway." He then said, "Let's take this over to the sofa where we can get comfortable. It's going to be 4 hours and I want to hold you." Well you know what happened. I am now a member of the private plane mile high club. I will say this, it was a whole lot better than a commercial plane. He calls Nancy to bring us our dinner and we go back over to the table. We had lasagna and a salad.Tiramisu for desert. I loved that dinner. I was satisfied in more ways than one. So that was probably my last food until surgery. I know how the rest of this goes. I can have clear liquid but nothing else. I asked him if he told Kirk about tomorrow. He said, "Yes,he's cool. Don't worry about a thing." So he is taking us to the surgical hospital? He replies, "Yes. Baby, Kirk is cool. Don't be embarrassed about it, OK?"  I said sheepishly, "OK." He puts his arms around me and pulls me in close. I could just stay here and never leave. He says, "Baby, what's wrong. You are so tense." I said, I'm just nervous about tomorrow, that's all. He said, "I will take care of you and everyone else at the hospital will take good care of you. You have nothing to worry about. Baby, I love you and I promise I won't let anything happen to you, OK? I said, "I know, I'm just not looking forward to it. I love you." We land, get to Paisley and I am tired, nervous and just want to relax. I said,I'm going to see if Cathy is still here. He says, "OK, are you going to take her the gift we got her?" I said, "Yes." He said,I'm going downstairs to check on a few things so I don't have to worry about them while I'm gone. I said, "Sounds good. Meet you back here." So I get up and take the necklace we got Cathy while were shopping yesterday. I hope she likes it. It is so her. I get to wardrobe and she's still here. I clear my throat and she looks up.She is ecstatic and motions for me to come over. I hand her the box and told her that it was a thank you for fixing my lingerie. She was asked, "So, how did he like them?" I said, Cathy I could not have paid you enough for what you did for me. Thank you. You are a dear friend. I sat down and she wanted details. I told her, I just  can't do that right now. But I can tell you he was very very happy. She laughed. She said, "Did you like the house?" I said, "Oh My Gosh! I could not believe it. It was wonderful. That man! He just beamed when he told me he owned it. I can't wait to go back." She said, "When." I said next Monday if everything goes OK. She opened the box. Her eye light up and she threw her arms around me.  She said, "I love it. It is just my style. Thank you!" I said,"No, thank you! Our time together was amazing and your artistry really helped. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart." She said,"It was nothing, glad I could help." I told her about our shopping trip. She looked at me funny, I said, "Yes, we were out in public and he did not have a care in the world who saw us. No pictures were taken up close if at all." She asked, could they recognize you? I said, "No, I had a big hat on with large sunglasses." She said, "Is that where you got the tan?" I said,"Well between that and walking the beach." She said, "Girl, you look good. That sun makes your skin looks so beautiful." I thanked her. She said, "Are you packed and ready for tomorrow?" I said,"basically yes, I just did not unpack from the trip. I just have a few things to put in there." She got up and went over to the drawers, and got out some really pretty material. She came back with it and said, "Here, I made you two pretty hospital gowns with matching robes. These are prettier than the ones they provide and I know he will like them better." I started to cry and she stopped me. She said, "Don't cry Gigi, he loves you and I wanted to make you look pretty for him." I said, "No, no. Thank you. I'm just scared. More so than I have ever been before surgery." She said,"Don't worry, he won't let anything happen to you. You know, we all think he has a hot line straight to God. I really think he does." I hugged her and felt better about it. She asked, when would I be back home. I told her if everything goes well, Friday morning. She said,"I'll get things ready for you here. Do not worry about a thing.You will be taken care of." I thanked her. She really wanted to know more so I told her, "It was amazing. We laughed, we played, we enjoyed each other and the sex was out of this world." She giggles and said, "It sounds like you two really bonded well and you had a good trip." I said, "Yes it was. I just know the next time is going to be different." She said, He is going to make sure everything is good so don't worry. That is what you get when you have a perfectionist around." We both busted out laughing. I asked her why she was working so late? She said, "Saturday there is a video shoot and she had to get the girls costumes done for that. He already has his ready." I said, Oh, so that is what's going on Saturday?She nodded. "He just told me he had a little thing and he would not be gone from my side long." She said, "The way he shoots a video,he won't be gone long, Gigi. He will be back to you before you turnover." I said, "By then I should feel better. Maybe I can go watch?" She said, "G, just stay put. He has this whole thing planned. Just do what he wants to. If he asks you to go, then OK, but let him ask you. You know how he plans everything." I said, "OK.I guess I can give that up this time." She said, "Scoot, get back to him. I'm sure he's waiting for you." I hugged her goodbye and headed back to the apartment. Sure enough, he's there waiting. I take my gowns to the bedroom and put them in the suitcase. He's watching CNN. I go sit with him and he pulls me in close and holds me. He said, "How did she like it?" I said 'she loved it'. He said,"Good." He asked what I took to the bedroom. I said, "Cathy made me some gowns for the hospital." He said, "Are you going to show them to me?" I said, "You will see them soon enough and they are already packed in my bag." He said, "It's almost 7:00 is there anything you need to eat?" I said, "No I'm good but I could use a smoothie." He jets out and brings me one. I ask him, "If there anything you need before I go AWOL tonite." He chuckles and says "I just want to love on you tonite. Is that OK?" I said,"Well, we have to be there like at 5am so I can get checked in and prep'd for surgery. So I would prefer it be earlier than later. I know it is going to be a long time before you are going to see your home again so whenever you are ready." He got the remote and turned the TV off and turned on the sound system. He took my hand and leaded me to the master suite. I kinda felt like a lamb being lead to slaughter. LOL! No really, I want to please him so what ever he wants or needs. Needless to say, I think he got very satisfied. I fell asleep wrapped in his arms and love until the alarm went off.

Prince POV

I really hated to leave the island. We really did have an amazing time. And the sex, it was out of this world. I'm going to miss it bad on the next trip. I can't wait to come back next week. I know GiGi is looking forward to it as well. We had fun and we will have fun again. It may not be the next trip but we will manage. Tomorrow is surgery day. I know it is going to be tough on her. I hope she does well. I love her so much, please God, don't let anything happen to her. I just got her in my life. I don't want to loose her. That is a great hospital. They will take good care of her and I will be by her side the whole time. I love holding her. I can feel her love when I hold her tight. It is so peaceful for me. She calms me with a sense of well being. I have never felt that with anyone else. I love the effect she has on me.Make me strong God, she has warned me she may be mean from the drugs and surgery. I love her and hopefully that is all I need to get through this together.
