All Of Me

Chapter Fourteen

I'll just put in my last earring when I feel two arms that embracing me. Oh, it's Nicholas. I put my hands on his. He kisses me on the cheek. 

- "You are so beautiful," he says and kisses my hair. 

- "You are beautiful, Nicholas," I say and he turn me around and kisses me. 

- "Are you nervous?" He asks, watching me from head to toe. 

- "A little" I say with a lower voice. I should just know how freaking nervous I am. I did never think that I would ever meet his parents. I wonder why he did accept it and why he is so easy going now. Nicholas is a dream. He is everything a woman wish for. But then he is in a certain way. That Nicholas I don't know. Maybe I just should stop questioning everything and try to focus on having a nice evening. 

- "Don't be" he says and kisses me on the cheek. "You are beautiful" he says one more time and kisses me on the forehead and walks out from the bathroom. Oh, this man will make me crazy. Oh! Fuck! His gift. His gift! I run to the bedroom where the very last shopping bag were. Good thing I brought my flats with me in my handbag  so I can run away if this dinner with his parents would be awful. Yes, I find the bag with his gift. I'll take it, and it is heavy, I walk over to the kitchen where I see him standing. I put the bag on the table and he turns around to look at the bag and then at me. 

- "Go ahead," I say, smiling. He walks up against the kitchen counter and looks at me. 

- "For me?" He says, and you notice that he becomes stiff. Why is he pissed? 

- "Yes, look! 'I say and try to push the bag to him. He takes the bag and lifts up his gift. There is a bouquet and vase with white roses. He does not understand. Oh, he is stupid for real. 

- "Read the card," I say. It hangs a card around the vase and he opens the card and reads it; 

Thanks for the dress, thanks for everything. 

Ps: Count the number of roses

He smiles. I see he starts counting the white roses. 

- "What is this supposed to mean?" He says and put his head to one side. "There are nine white roses," he says and looks at me. I can't help myself from giggling. 

- "It means according to floral language, oh, if you look behind the card  it says something," I say and still giggles. He takes the card and looks behind it. 

"I want to be alone with you" 

He looks at me and his eyes are fiery. He walks around the kitchen counter and lift me so I have to put my legs around him. 

- "After this, we will be alone and I promise we are going to have some fun" he says and kisses me. I put my arms around his neck. It is as if everything has stopped. It's just him and me. But right in the heat of the moment, we hear a knock on the door. Oh, no, his parents are here. Nicholas puts me down and walks to the door.

"Nicholas" I hear a women voice say, a older women walks forward to Nicholas and hugs him. I'm standing in the kitchen. His father hugs him too. Oh, they seems so loving. If they only knew how wonderful their son is. 

  - "Hello" he says, smiling. He pulls up his shirt sleeves, is he nervous? They might not even like me. No, I need to give them a good impression. I mean they are for god sake his parents. 

- "Where have you done with that poor little girls of yours then?" I hear his father say, and he laughs. Poor girl? Nicholas is taking good care of me, I don't know what he mean. Oh, Sam must have said something.
