All Of Me

Chapter Nineteen

We have arrived and Nicholas is driving around the area there my parents lives in to look after a parking lot. It's full of cars around our house, all of my relatives has come, yes they are many. But I'm not the one of those who have contact with all of them, maybe a few cousins ​​and a few uncles, I like to keep it simple, I don't want to have a lot of problems in my life, fuck, I'm sounding like Nicholas. Or yes, if not to talk about my relationship with Nicholas, it was anything but simple. But I can at least try. Nicholas finds a parking lot after minutes of searching but it means we have to go to the house for like five minutes, okay easy they say, no not in these heels. We step out of the car. When I step out of the car Nicholas has already managed to get to my side of the car, he holds out something to me.

- "Congratulations to your graduation" he says and gives me first a bouquet of roses and a little box. 

- "Nicholas, you didn't have to..," I say and look at him, ugh I feel so stupid now. I been rejected him since we got in to the car. Oh, my heart keeps telling me to give him another chance while everything else says otherwise. Oh, I'm feeling so stupid now.

- "Gabriella, I wanted to, I want to give you this now before we go to your graduation celebration" He says, smiling. His eyes are full of life, I, I've seen that look before, but. Oh, I remember. It's the same look as when I would show him the dress I bought for the dinner with his parents, that look is playful and his looks so alive. "Come on, open it now," he says. I give him the flowers so I can open the box. It is a light blue box and it says "Tiffany & Co." on it, oh my God, I know exactly what this is. I think I'm dying inside. He probably has not gone and bought .. I open the box it is a little heart on it. I think it's silver, it is beautiful, easy and simple, the way I want it. I take the necklace out of the box and look at Nicholas. 

- "You didn't have to, Nicholas." I say and look at him, he gives me immediately a disturbing gaze, he puts his hands in his face in a frustration way. "Nicholas, I love it, thank you," I say and Nicholas takes a deep breath and smiles. It seems that he has had anxiety over this.

 - "Let me help" he says and I turn around and hold up my curly brown hair and he puts the necklace around my neck. I let down my hair and turn around to look at him. My eyes toward his. Oh, god. I really had missed him.

- "I missed you," he says, and puts his hands around my face. And he still he can read my mind.  I walk closer to him and now I don't care what my brain says, what my head says, what my demons say, what my past thinks, I go forward and kisses him. Oh, God, how I've missed this. I missed him so the ache in my chest. We look at each other. My Nicholas. I take up my bag to put the box in it. Nicholas stretches out the roses to me. I'll take them.

- "Read the card," he says, and just smiles. Now he has that look again, oh, what is he doing now. I open the card and read it; 

"Congratulations to the exam, you will go far, Gabriella. 

Keep on going 

PS: Now count the roses. ... And think of the color as well. 

Nicholas "

I'm going to melt, my God. What is he doing? I laugh a little to myself. I count the roses, I hear how he laughs lightly. Oh, I can't help but smile. I look at him. 

- "Pink roses" I say and giggles and he looks at me, his eyes serious. Oh, no did I do something wrong? 

- "I'm in love with you and I promise you fidelity" he says. What ?? What is this about? Huh, wait what did he say right now. Oh, no. He has used the flower language, oh, my Nicholas. I remember when I did this with him. Now, I know why he was frustrated, I am that now!

-  "There are seven pink roses" I continue and look at him. He does not let his gaze away from me. His gaze is serious and he walks up to me and put his hands on my waist. 

- "I love you" he says and now I'm gone. My legs are like jelly, oh my God. I get tears in my eyes. How can I get so much positive karma in a day, there must be something behind this, yes. There must be something evil in this, No! I shout to my brain. I need to silence my demons and thoughts as I go forward and kisses Nicholas. His lips are so soft, so lovely. He hits his arms around me. I'm going to find my peace, Nicholas are my peace for now. What I've missed him.
