Philip is breathing heavily, his heart is racing, and his body feels like it�s on fire. He realizes this isn�t a dream then says, �Oh�my�God! Baby, I�Chloe runs her fingers across his lips then he loses control and starts kissing her very passionately. He breaks away and says, �Ba�baby we�we can�t..can�t do this�! She pulls him into another kiss then neither can fight their desire for one another. He gives her one kiss after another, then their kisses get more intense. Her heart is racing and her body feels extremely warm and she becomes breathless. She breaks away for air then he pulls her back into another kiss. They continue kissing passionately then he breaks away and starts kissing her neck and working his way down her body.

The phone is ringing and �Minnie� starts barking. She goes into the bathroom and continues to bark. Finally after barking non-stop Philip says, �I..I wonder who�whose calling this�this time of night�. She�s breathing heavily and says, �I�I don�t know but�but I guess we�d�we�d better answer the phone�.

So Philip kisses her then opens the shower door and the phone stops ringing. He takes a towel and wraps it around her back then holds onto each side of it and pulls her nude body next to his. He says, �MMM�I just had to feel your body next to mine again and�Baby I want you so very badly but it�s a good thing the phone rang because if it hadn�t, I don�t think I would�ve had the strength to stop�. She looks into his eyes then says, �MMM�but what if I don�t want you to stop�?

The phone rings just as he starts kissing her again. He breaks away and says, �Baby, I guess we�d better answer it. It must be important or whoever it is wouldn�t keep calling like this�. He gently kisses her lips then wraps the towel around her. He throws a pair of boxer shorts on and makes a mad dash to answer the phone.

~*~*~*~*~*~

He answers the phone to find Cindy on the other end. She says, �Philip! I just wanted to touch base with you about our plan. Is Chloe in the room�? Philip sees Chloe coming and says, �Yes�! Cindy says, �Well, I just wanted to let you know that everything is set and under control. All you have to do is stay away from the cabin until later this afternoon. Just be careful while you�re giving Chloe her other surprises, all right�? Philip says, �All right Cindy, we�ll be careful. Thanks�. Cindy says, �Well Philip, I�ve gotta run. Enjoy yourselves tomorrow. Love ya�. Bye sweetie�. Philip says, �And I love you too Cindy. Thanks. Talk to you later�.

Chloe now has a nightshirt on and walks over to Philip. She has a worried look on her face and Philip reaches his arms out to her and says, �You know where you belong, don�t you�? She gets in her spot then wraps her arms around his waist as he wraps his arms around hers and holds her tight. He says, �Baby, Cindy just wants us to be careful if we go anywhere tomorrow or anytime. You know she�s like a mother hen when it comes to me. It doesn�t matter how old I�ve gotten she still worries and will do everything in her power to make sure I�m safe. She really likes you or she wouldn�t have allowed us to use her cabin�.

Chloe smiles then says, �You know what I think�? He kisses her cheek then says, �No�what�? She raises her eyebrow and says, �I think there�s something fishy going on here. I think it has to do with your surprises, doesn�t it�? Philip says, �Baby, Cindy just wants to make sure we�re safe. Now let�s think about going to bed and I�ll hold you in my arms all night long�. She raises her eyebrow then says, �MMM�I love it when you hold me in your arms all night but�but I just�never mind�. He says, �I know Baby. I feel the same way. I want you too, but we can�t until we�re married�.

She looks into his eyes then says, �You know, there aren�t a lot of guys like you�. He says, �I love you Chloe and want our first time to be special and am willing to wait until our wedding night. I have to be honest, though, this is one of the hardest things I�ve ever had to do. I�ve almost blown it several times because I can�t fight this desire I have for you�. She says, �You�re not the only one�.

He hugs her really tight then says, �Well, what do you say we go to bed then we�ll get up early in the morning because I�ve got a lot planned for us�. She raises her eyebrow and says, �So what are my surprises�? He says, �You�re just gonna have to wait and see Baby�. She says, �Please tell me�please�please�. He says, �Sorry. If I tell you they won�t be surprises now, will they�? She shrugs her shoulders then says, �Well, I guess I�ll just have to wait and see�. He says, �I guess you will�. He kisses her cheek then takes her hand and they walk back into the bedroom.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chloe picks �Minnie� up then she/Philip lie down on the bed. They play with �Minnie� for a while then she goes to sleep in between them on the bed. Philip gently picks her up then lays her in her bed then lays a little blanket on her. Chloe moves over close to Philip and lies on her side with her back facing him. He wraps his arms around her then whispers in her ear, �Baby, we�re gonna go to John�s place early in the morning and visit him for a few minutes and he says he�ll take care of �Minnie� for us until we pick her up in the afternoon the following day. The surprises I have in store for us require that we be alone and not have to worry about �Minnie� being safe. We�ll be busy�.

Chloe turns on her side then faces him and says, �Now you�ve really got me curious as to what we�re gonna be doing tomorrow. I don�t know if I�ll be able to sleep now�. He smiles then says, �Oh yes you will�. So he pulls the covers over them and wraps his arms around her. He whispers in her ear, �I love you Baby�. She says, �And I love you Philip�. He hums a song to her then she quickly falls asleep. He nods off not long after she does.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It�s 4:30 AM and Chloe wakes up then rubs her eyes. She smells coffee then sees that Philip isn�t lying beside her. She gets up and puts her slippers on then goes into the bathroom and looks at herself in the mirror. She�s thinking: You sure look awful this morning Miss Chloe Lane. You can�t let Philip see you like this�. So she takes her brush and quickly brushes her hair. She brushes her teeth then walks out of the bathroom and heads for the kitchen.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chloe quietly walks into the kitchen to see Philip in his boxer shorts with an apron on. He�s making breakfast for the two of them. She just stands there for a few minutes and is thinking: He is the sweetest, most handsome hunk of a man a woman could ask for�. He senses her coming his way so he pretends he doesn�t know she�s there. She walks up quietly behind him then wraps her arms around his waist. She whispers in his ear, �Good morning handsome. I love you. Can I help you with anything�?

He turns around and says, �As a matter of fact you can! I�m having a problem this morning and you�re the only one that can help me with it�. She says, �And what might this problem be�? He raises his eyebrow then says, �Well�I haven�t had a kiss from you this morning Baby and I�m afraid if I don�t get one from you soon I may not have the strength to give you your surprises today�. She raises her eyebrow then says, �Well, I guess I�d better give you that kiss then�. She wraps her arms around his neck then kisses him passionately. He drops the spatula then breaks away and says, �MMM�now that�s what I call a kiss! It definitely lit a fire inside me�. She smiles then says, �MMM�I could just�just kiss you all day and��. He gently kisses her lips then says, �I know Baby. I want you too�.

Chloe goes over to the drawer then takes a spatula out and hands it to him. She puts the other one in the dishwasher then he says, �You do eat omelets don�t you�? She says, �Sure. I really love cheese omelets�. He has a huge smile on his face and says, �I�m so happy because that�s just what I�ve made for us this morning. Will you do me a favor and take the toast out of the toaster�? She does then puts them on a plate and puts them on the table.

He brings the two plates with their omelets on them and sets them down on the table. He pulls her chair out for her then she sits down. He then walks over to get the coffee pot. He says, �I thought you might like a cup of coffee with me this morning, but if you�d rather have hot chocolate I can try and make it like you did�. Chloe smiles then says, �Actually I�d love to have coffee this morning, and I�ll let you fix me that cup of hot chocolate later if that�s all right with you�. He smiles then pours both of them a cup of coffee and sits down in the chair next to her.

As they�re eating �Minnie� walks into the kitchen. She�s sitting there quietly by their feet so Philip takes a piece of his omelet and gives it to her. He then gets up and puts some puppy food in one bowl and warm milk in the other. Chloe�s thinking: God! He�s got to be the sweetest guy alive. I love him so very much and want to spend the rest of my life with him. MMM�being with him is like a dream come true�.

Philip walks back over and sits down beside her. He smiles then kisses her cheek. She says, �So what type of clothes am I gonna need to wear�? He says, �Well, when you�ve finished eating and if you�ll go into the guest bedroom there are clothes lying on the bed for you. I figured we needed to wear appropriate clothes for where we�re going�. She kisses his cheek and says, �Tell me Philip! Please..please�. He says, �I�m not caving so you might as well give up�. She says, �Well, the sooner I finish eating, the sooner we get to John�s and to my surprises�. He starts laughing and says, �I�ve never seen you eat so fast Baby. You�re really anxious, aren�t you�? She says, �Oh yeah. Let�s get this mess cleaned up, get dressed, and go�.

So they finish eating then clean up the mess. �Minnie� is crying so Philip picks her up then takes her outside the back door to do her duty. He comes back in then goes into the bedroom to get dressed. Chloe is in the guest bedroom and can�t believe what she�s seeing. She�s thinking: Now why do I need a bikini up here�? She puts the jumpsuit and her socks on then starts zipping the jumpsuit up. Philip knocks on the door and she says, �Philip! I need your help with this zipper�.

So he walks over to her and sees that it seems to be stuck right before it goes over her breasts. He works with it a little then finally gets it to zip up the rest of the way. She pulls him into a kiss then he breaks away and says, �Baby, we�d better stop doing this or we�re never gonna get to where we�re going�? She�s hurt by this but says nothing about it. She grabs the backpack and places �Minnie� in it then says, �Well, we�d better get going�. He checks to see that they have everything then places his backpack on his back then locks the door. He heads out the door after her.

~*~*~*~*~*~

She�s walking really fast then sees the trail going north that John told them about and starts walking down it. He stays behind her then says, �Well, I guess I might as well go back to the cabin after we visit John. The woman I love no longer loves me so my surprises will mean nothing to her. I guess she doesn�t trust me or love me as much as she says she does. I should�ve known that a woman as beautiful and �HOT� as she is wouldn�t want a guy like me. A guy that gets breathless just thinking about her. A guy that would rather spend every waking moment with her and dreams of the day when he can finally make love to her and show her just how deeply he loves her�.

She has tears in her eyes but keeps walking. They are now at John�s cabin and he�s been sitting on his front porch waiting for them. He can tell something is wrong so he says, �Well, good morning you two�. Chloe says, �Good morning John. How are you doing�? He says, �Fine. Did you bring �Little Miss Minnie�? Philip walks up to John then whispers, �She�s really ticked at me, so I�ll just leave �Minnie� with you then we need to go so I can straighten things out between us. We�ll visit with you tomorrow afternoon when we come pick her up, all right�?

He smiles then whispers in his ear, �Philip, she needs you so go on and �Minnie� and I will be fine�. He says, �All right, John. Thanks for everything and I promise we�ll be back early tomorrow afternoon to pick her up�. He kisses �Minnie� then walks toward Chloe. She goes over and kisses �Minnie� and says, �Momma will see you tomorrow �Minnie�. Be good for John�. She says, �John, thanks for taking care of her for us�. He smiles and says, �It�s my pleasure Chloe. Now run along. Philip is waiting for you�.

~*~*~*~*~*~

He�s now walking in front of her and says, �Well, another few feet and we�ll be there. What�s the use�I might as well turn back now because the woman I love with all of my heart, body, and soul no longer wants to share things like this with me�. He walks a few more feet then hears the helicopter down by the lake. He doesn�t say another word then reaches out his arms to her and has tears in his eyes. She can�t take this any more then runs over to him and gets in her spot. He holds her really tight then raises her head up and looks into her eyes. He says, �Baby, I love you. Please don�t ever doubt that�. He kisses her gently on her lips then says, �Would you like to see what my surprise is? Or should we just go back to the cabin�?

She says, �I love you Philip, and I�m sorry I acted the way I did. I just�well sometimes I�m too sensitive for my own good. I just want to show you in every way just how much I love you�. He says, �I feel the same way Baby, and after today maybe�well we�ll talk about that at the end of the day all right�? She says, �All right�. He takes her hand then they walk another hundred yards. There are huge boulders everywhere and just below them there is a meadow with all kinds of flowers.

She says, �My God! These boulders are huge and this little area is beautiful�. He says, �Not half as beautiful as you are Chloe. Do you like this place�? She smiles then says, �It�s really quiet and romantic up here�. He smiles then says, �This is another one of my favorite places and it has something that the other place I took you doesn�t�. She says, �And what�s that�? He takes her hand and they walk over between two huge boulders to find a wide area where warm water is running out of the ground. He says, �See how the water is coming up out of the ground? Well this is a �hot spring� and if you�ll notice we have areas where it is shallow then it gets deeper to very deep. See how clear the water is though�.

She smiles then says, �So this is why I�m wearing this bikini�. He says, �You got it Baby. If I get in will you come in with me? It�s nice and warm, but not too hot�. She kisses his cheek then says, �Why not? As long as I�m close to you I�ll do just about anything�. He unzips his jumpsuit then pulls it off. He�s wearing blue swimming trunks that are quite revealing. She can�t seem to take her eyes off of him, but when he turns around she quickly starts unzipping her jumpsuit.

He steps down into the pool where it is about 5 feet deep then watches as she wiggles out of her jumpsuit to reveal this very sexy baby blue bikini. He reaches out his hand to her then she takes it and slowly walks down into the water with him. He pulls her body next to his then kisses her. She breaks away and says, �MMM�I love this first surprise of yours. This water is nice and warm and I�m here with the greatest guy in the world. The guy I want to spend the rest of my life with�. He looks into her eyes then says, �You don�t know how good that is to hear Baby. I thought you were gonna stay mad at me all day�.

She looks into his eyes then says, �I can�t stay mad at you for very long. I love you and nothing is ever gonna change that�. She kisses him then this kiss becomes very passionate. He runs his hands through her hair then starts kissing her neck and on down to her breasts. Her body is very warm and those sensations deep inside her are very strong. She says, �MMM�.Philip that feels sooo good. Please don�t stop�.

He is at the point of no return then unhooks her bikini bra then lifts the straps off of her shoulders then throws it up on the rock. He looks at her and says, �I know you�ve heard this before but you are just so very beautiful. Your skin is so soft, and all I want to do is explore every inch of your beautiful body�. She runs her fingers through his hair as he kisses her then runs his hands along every curve of her body.

She runs her fingers down to the top of his swimming trunks then slowly pulls them off. He puts her hand on his chest and says, �My heart feels like it�s gonna beat out of my chest. Do you see what you do to me Baby. The fire/passion I feel for you is so very strong and all I want to do is kiss you passionately then explore every inch of your body with my tongue�giving you an enormous amount of pleasure�. She�s breathless but says, � I can�t wait any longer Philip. I want you, and I want you to make love to me now�.

So he says, �Are you sure? I don�t want to pressure you into anything you�re not ready for, and we�re not married�. She says, �All I know is that I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to marry you as soon as possible, but that may be a while off because of our having to run from my Mother. I can�t fight this desire I have for you any longer, and as long as I know you feel the same way about me then I don�t see any reason why we can�t make love to one another as long as we use protection�. He runs his tongue along her lips then places it in her mouth then kisses her passionately. He breaks away then squeezes her breasts. They are both on fire then he picks her up and carries her down the rock and onto an area in the meadow out of plain site. He gently sets her down then runs to get their backpacks as well as her bikini bra, his swimming trunks, their jumpsuits, socks, and shoes.

He drops everything then looks in the backpack for the small blanket he brought as well as a pack of condoms. He lays the blanket down on the grass then she lays down on it. He kisses her once again then they roll over and over on the blanket with him ending up on top of her. She breaks away for air then he takes a condom out of the wrapper and starts to place it on himself. They hear something in the distance and she says, �Oh my God! Someone is coming Philip�.

He gets up as does she and they quickly take their clothes and hide in the bushes. They put their clothes, socks, and shoes back on then he says, �Baby, stay right here and I�ll be right back�. She says, �Please don�t leave me Philip. I want to go with you. I promise I�ll stay right with you and won�t make any noise�. He turns to her and places his hand on her cheek then says, �All right Baby. Just stay right behind me. We�re just gonna see where this noise is coming from�.

~*~*~*~*~*~

So they head towards the trail but hide behind the bushes. Philip turns around and says, �Baby, it�s just a couple of kids I know but I don�t want them to see us. They�re not very good at keeping secrets. Their parents are supposed to be taking them out of town today so they must be exploring until it�s time to go�. She whispers, �Then how are we gonna get out of here without them seeing us�? He says, �Follow me�! So she does and they end up on another trail that takes them through the woods. He looks at his watch and sees that they need to stay away from the cabin a little longer so he says, �Why don�t I show you another great place�? So he takes her hand then takes her to a cave nearby.

They walk inside to find a puppy that looks like �Minnie� lying on the ground. Philip picks it up and is relieved when he sees it isn�t �Minnie� because it is a male. He says, �I�ll bet this is �Minnie�s� little brother and he got away from the people he was given to or they didn�t want him�. Chloe says, �Poor baby. He looks like he�s cold and hungry. Can we keep him Philip�? He doesn�t have the heart to say �No� so he says, �Well, why don�t we take him over to John�s place and he�ll know if anyone lost their puppy or if they just didn�t want him. He�ll take good care of him and �Little Miss Minnie� will have a friend to keep her company while we�re away�.

He gives him to Chloe then takes the blanket they used to lie on off of his shoulder and gives it to Chloe to wrap him in. She does then Philip says, �Well, let me give him a little bit of water then we need to get to John�s ASAP�. So he gives him a drink of water to which he quickly laps up. So they head back to John�s place. ~*~*~*~*~*~

John is walking around outside holding �Minnie� in his arms. She�s licking his face and Philip says, �Looks like she doesn�t miss us at all�. John says, �She does, but she just loves people. What have you got there�? Chloe says, �We found him in a cave nearby and he looked cold and hungry. Would you mind taking care of him then we�ll come get him when we pick up �Minnie�? John says, �I�d be happy to keep him for you. I just love puppies�well�all animals�. So they give him to John and he says, �Don�t worry, he looks like he�s going to be just fine. I�ll feed him a little bit of food and milk at a time and he�ll be as good as new�. So Philip/Chloe say, �Thanks John. We�ll see you tomorrow afternoon�. So they leave.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Philip looks at his watch and Chloe says, �What have you got planned next�? He smiles then says, �Wouldn�t you like to know�? She gives him little kisses all over his face then plants one on his lips then says, �Most definitely�. He takes her hand in his and they continue walking down the trail. They�re getting closer to the cabin and he sees Cindy�s Suburban leaving so he pulls Chloe into a very passionate kiss. She breaks away breathless and says, �MMM�.let me catch my breath and I�ll take another one of those�. So he kisses her again then picks her up and continues kissing her. She breaks away and says, �Philip I�I love you more than you�ll ever know�. He says, �And I love you more than life itself Baby. Now are you ready for your next surprise�? She smiles then says, �Most definitely Philip�.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Philip carries her to the door then sets her down. He opens it up and allows her to walk in first. She looks around and says, �Oh my God, Philip! I can�t believe you did this�! He smiles and says, �Baby, this is only the beginning. I have a lot more in store for you tonight�! She has tears in her eyes then says, �God I love you Philip�! He says, �And I love you Chloe. Now why don�t we go inside and we�ll each get cleaned up and changed for what I promise to be one of the most romantic evenings of your life�. She kisses him passionately then they go inside.

Philip watches Chloe as she walks into the cabin. She still can�t believe her eyes. The living room is more like a great room and has been completely decorated to look like an Italian Restaurant. It has two square tables with red/white checkered tablecloths on them. There�s a red round candleholder sitting in the middle of one of the tables. Both have 2 chairs around them. There are pictures of Italy on the walls and a little cart filled with all kinds of Italian dishes that are heating up in their square dishes. The tables have been moved over to one side of the room to make room for a dance floor.

There�s an entertainment center with an awesome sound system for their music sitting against the wall. There are red roses placed strategically around the room as well as different varieties of live orchids in colors of white, yellow/red. There are two pots filled with very rare lavender orchids sitting over by the window. A bottle of champagne is sitting on ice in the center of the second table. The usually bright room has been turned into a darker room by pulling the drapes closed. The only lighting they�ll have is small lights on the walls as well as from the candle burning in the red candleholder in the center of their table.

Chloe has tears in her eyes and Philip says, �Do you remember my asking you where you�d love to go if you had the chance to go anywhere in the world�? She says, �Yes�, and I told you Italy�. He smiles and says, �Well, since we couldn�t go to Italy I thought I�d bring a little of Italy to us. Do you like it�? She says, �It FEELS like we�re in Italy. I can�t believe you went to all of this trouble just for me�!

He smiles then says, �I told you Baby, I love you with all of my heart, body, and soul. I�d do anything for you. I�d think you�d know that by now�. He kisses her then says, �Well, we need to hurry up and go shower then get dressed. But this time we can�t take a shower together because the next time we�re together I guarantee you I won�t be able to stop�. She says, �And I won�t let you stop Philip�. He kisses her gently on her lips then takes her hand and walks her to the guest bedroom.

~*~*~*~*~*~

He says, �Well, I�ll see you in a little while�. She smiles and says, �I love you Philip�. She goes into the guest bedroom and Philip goes into the other bedroom. She finds a beautiful red dress lying on the bed but decides not to touch it until she�s taken a shower and is ready to put it on. She goes into the bathroom and starts taking her clothes off. She turns on the water in the shower and lets it get nice and warm. She washes her hair then the rest of her body. She rinses off then steps out and dries herself off.

She wraps a towel around her body then one around her head. She goes over to the mirror and has tears of joy in her eyes. She�s thinking: This has to be a dream�nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Philip Robert Kiriakis loves Chloe Lane. Mrs. Philip Kiriakis. Ooh! I love the sound of that. I wonder what else he has planned for tonight. Could it be? No�he wouldn�t ask you to marry him tonight would he? Chloe wake up! He�s probably not ready to ask you yet. But what if he does? What are you gonna say? Stupid question�of course you�ll say yes�

She takes the towel off of her head then starts brushing her hair. She then blow dries it and brushes it again. She puts on a little eye make-up then some deodorant as well as a dab of perfume on her neck then goes over and brushes her teeth. She pops a mint into her mouth so her breath is even fresher for the next time she kisses Philip. She puts a pair of white lace panties on then a white lace half-slip.

She picks up the dress and is thinking: I guess I won�t be wearing a bra with this dress. Hmmm�This dress must�ve cost a fortune and it�s really beautiful, but none of these things mean that much to me. I love Philip for who he is. MMM�.Philip�.Here goes nothing�let�s hope it fits�. So she puts it on and it fits like a glove. It is red and is low-cut and has little red shiny beads on it. It has thin straps on it. She looks in the mirror and is thinking: I can�t believe how good this dress fits. I wonder what Philip will be wearing? MMM�Philip�She goes over and sits on the edge of the bed and puts a pair of black pumps on then just sits there in a daze�

~*~*~*~*~*~

Philip has taken a shower and wraps a towel around the lower half of his body. He walks over to the mirror then feels his face to see if he needs to shave. He feels a little bit of growth then takes his electric razor out and shaves. He then throws some after shave on as well as deodorant. He splashes some cologne on then combs his hair back the way he knows Chloe likes it. He�s thinking: I can�t wait to see Chloe�s reaction when I ask her to marry me. Then when I give her the other surprises. But what if she isn�t ready and turns me down? If she says �No� what will I do�? She won�t say �No� because I can see the love she has for me in her eyes. Why am I nervous all of a sudden? Calm down Kiriakis�She won�t turn you down�you know she won�t�

He walks over to the bed then puts a pair of black socks on. He stands up and puts a white shirt on. He slips into his black slacks then tucks his shirt in and zips his slacks up. He walks over to the full length mirror then puts his red tie on and thinks to himself: Well Kiriakis, this is it! All you have to do is slip your shoes on then it�s time to go see your beautiful bride-to-be. Mrs. Philip Kiriakis�Mr. & Mrs. Philip Kiriakis�Mr. & Mrs. K. MMM�Chloe�He walks out of his room and heads over to the guest bedroom. ~*~*~*~*~*~

Chloe is standing in front of the mirror and pushes her hair back over her shoulders. Philip is standing right outside the door and is nervous. He feels like he�s on a first date, but knocks on the door. Chloe has butterflies in her stomach but straightens out her dress then quickly puts some red lipstick on then answers the door. Philip�s heart skips a beat and he becomes breathless when he sees her in the red dress.

Chloe can�t believe her eyes and her heart starts racing and she becomes breathless when she sees him in his black tux and with his hair slicked back the way she loves it. They both just stand there and seem to be in a trance. But after a few minutes he says, �Baby, you take my breath away. You look absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, amazing, and�.MMM�She smiles then says, �And you look absolutely great in that tux�very handsome, drop-dead gorgeous, and like a hunk�MMM�Philip�.

He smiles then reaches his hand out to hers. He says, �Are you ready for your next surprise�? She smiles then says, �Most definitely�. She takes his hand then they walk into the living room/great room and he says, �This surprise requires you to close your eyes�. She says, �All right�my eyes are closed�. He takes her down some steps then says, �Well, you can open your eyes now�. She says, �Oh�my�God�Philip! I don�t expect you to buy me expensive gifts, and especially not something like this that costs so much money�.

He smiles then says, �Baby, I knew you�d say that but will you allow me the pleasure of giving you something that I know you�ve loved for a very long time�? Tears are running down her face and she says, �But Philip�He says, �I love you Chloe and want you to have this. Now go open the door and hop in so I can see how great you look in it�. She still can�t believe what he�s done then walks around it and says, �My very own red corvette. But I don�t have a driver�s license yet�.

He smiles then says, �Not to worry. I bought this car for myself a month ago and it is already registered in my name and the Police won�t be looking for it. I�ve had it garaged at my friend Tom�s house up here and even my Father doesn�t know I have it. I love this car but love you more and wanted you to have it. It�s only been driven a couple of times. It�s yours Baby so hop in the driver�s seat�. She opens the door then gets in and he says, �You look totally �HOT� in this car Baby, but of course you are totally �HOT� anyway�. She gets out of it then walks over to him then looks into his eyes.

She says, �Thank you so very much for this Philip. I absolutely love it. Will you teach me how to drive it�? He smiles then says, �Of course I will Baby. And when we�re though running I�ll have it registered in your name. Cindy says we can leave it parked here in her garage as long as we want�. Chloe smiles then says, �I still can�t believe this Philip. I love the car but love you more than anything in this world and will always need you�. He has tears in his eyes then says, �Baby, you know I love you and will always need you�. She wipes his tears away then he says, �What do you say we go get ourselves something to eat�? She smiles then says, �I�m starving�. So they head back into the living room/great room.

~*~*~*~*~*~

They walk into the living room/great room. Philip looks into Chloe�s eyes then says, �Baby, can you wait to eat for a few minutes? I have another surprise for you and just hope you like it�. She says, �Philip! You�ve given me so much already�. He says, �Chloe Baby, this surprise has nothing to do with expensive cars or anything like that. This is something that I�m hoping will bring a smile to your face if nothing else because I�m not a very good singer. But like I said, �I�ll do anything for you Baby and this song is one that has been around for a long time and reminds everyone of Italy. It�ll set the mood for our evening in our very own �Ristorante Italiana di Philipe�. So he turns the chair away from the table and has it face him then has Chloe sit down. He starts the music for the song �AMORE�.

(In Napoli where love is king

When boy meets girl here's what they say)

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie

That's amore

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

That's amore

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you'll sing "Vita bella"

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay

Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie

That's amore

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

That's amore

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you'll sing "Vita bella"

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay

Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore

Lucky fella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore, (amore)

That's amore

The song is over now and both Chloe/Philip are smiling and look lovingly into each other�s eyes. She places her hand on his cheek then says, �I absolutely love �Ristorante Italiana di Philipe� and it�s owner and his voice/the song�. I love you with all of my heart Philipe� �. Philip says, �I�m so glad you liked it. I�ve been really nervous about doing this for you, but like I said�I�ll do anything for you Baby because I love you so very much�. He takes her hand then says, �Chloe, would..a you like a�to take a�my hand a�and get a..something a..to eat a�? She laughs then says, �Philipe� I�d a�love a�to get a..something a�to eat a�. He kisses her then gives her a big hug.

Philip says, �What do you say we each get a plate and see what kind of selection of food we have here�. So they do then he lifts all of the lids off of each square pan filled with a dish and sets them to the back of the cart. He says, �It looks like we have two different kinds of lasagne�one with meat in it/one with spinach in it. Then of course we have spaghetti with two kinds of sauces�one with the meatballs in it/one without. We have fettucini alfredo and garlic bread. Then we have all kinds of rolls and bread sticks. And since both of us have a love of anything chocolate we have chocolate cake, brownies, fudge, chocolate mousse, and of course chocolate ice cream in the kitchen and in the fridge/freezer�.

She says, �MMM�so many good things to eat. I think I�ll have a little lasagne with the meat, a little spaghetti/meatballs and a couple of pieces of garlic bread�. So she starts putting it on her plate. He says, �Well, I�ll just have a little of everything tonight. I usually eat more but I need to make sure I don�t overstuff myself because the night is still young and I have a lot in store for us Baby�. So with their plates full they head over to the table and set their plates down. He pulls her chair out for her then she sits down and he sits right across the table from her.

He says, �Would you care for a glass of champagne? We won�t be drinking very much of it so it won�t hurt us. I just felt that since this is a night I want us to remember for the rest of our lives, we needed something like this to toast with�. She says, �I suppose it wouldn�t hurt to have a little since it is a special occasion, so sure, I�ll have some with you�. So he gets up and takes the bottle of champagne out of the bucket of ice on the other table then takes the cork out of it. He picks up her champagne glass then pours it half full then does the same with his. He sets the bottle of champagne back in the bucket of ice on the other table.

He then sits back down and says, �Baby I�d like to make a toast so hold your glass up to mine�. She does then he says, �This toast is to you, my beautiful Chloe. All of my life I�ve felt an emptiness inside until fate brought you into my life. You are the other half that makes me whole. I love you with all of my heart, body, and soul�. She has tears in her eyes but taps her glass against his then each take a sip of their champagne.

Chloe says, �Now I want to make a toast to you, my handsome Philipe�. I�d been dreaming about you all of my life, but didn�t know it. You were the part of me that I was missing and now fate has brought us together. You are the other half that makes me whole. And I love you with all of my heart, body, and soul�. Philip has tears in his eyes then each take a sip of their champagne. He leans over the table and gives her a kiss.

They start eating then after a few minutes she notices that he�s not eating anything on his plate and is staring at her. She says, �You�re staring at me and not eating. Am I doing something wrong�? He says, �I�m sorry Baby, it�s just that you�re so very beautiful and I can�t help myself. I just love watching the way you do things�. She says, �You do�? He smiles then says, �Yes I do Baby. I love everything about you, from the way you raise that eyebrow of yours when you want something, to the vulnerable/sensitive you. Basically everything about you. I love you Chloe�. She says, �And I love you Philip�.

They have now finished eating then he says, �Well, would you like to have dessert now or later? And if you want it now, what would you like�? She says, �Well, I didn�t eat as much so I guess I�d like to have a small piece of chocolate cake and a brownie�. So he says, �I�ll be right back then�. He leaves then quickly comes back into the room with two plates with chocolate cake and brownies on them. He sets the plates down on the table and sits down next to her.

He looks into her eyes then says, �Would you allow me to feed my dessert to you�? She says, �If you�ll allow me to feed mine to you�! He agrees then she takes her fork and cuts a piece of her cake then offers it to him. He opens his mouth wide then she feeds it to him. He chews it then swallows and says, �MMM�that was really good, now it�s my turn to feed you�. So he cuts a small piece of cake with his fork then she opens her mouth wide and he feeds it to her. She chews it then swallows and says, �MMM�that cake is excellent�. They do this until all of the cake is gone and do the same with the brownies.

Philip kisses her cheek then gets up and says, �Well, now that we�ve eaten I have another surprise for you�. Chloe says, �Philipe� ! You�re spoiling me�. He smiles then says, �That�s the plan! There�s more in store Baby. So would you like to hear your next surprise�? She smiles then says, �Is the very charming and handsome Philipe� gonna sing to me once more in that great sexy voice of his�? Philip�s face is flushed then he says, �Philipe� would a..do a�anything for his lovely a�lady a. So here a�goes a�.

.

Prrrrrrya! Ha ha ha

Oh yeah

Prrrrrrya!

Come on, that's right

Hold me and tell me you'll always be mine

Now and for always, forever be mine

We are two people who share the same heart

Nobody can ever break us apart

Oh oh no, no we won't let go

Let the whole world know

We're together

Per sempre amore, I can't get enough

Per sempre amore, forever in love

And when we're together a gift from above

Per sempre amore, forever in love

(Per sempre amore, oh woah oh

Per sempre amore, oh woah oh)

Life's never bitter it's so sweet with you

My head's in a spin, ain't nothing I can do

Hand on my heart when I set eyes on you

I knew there and then all I wanted was you

Oh oh no, no we won't let go

Let the whole world know

We're together

Per sempre amore, I can't get enough

Per sempre amore, forever in love

And when we're together a gift from above

Per sempre amore, forever in love

Alright! Paaaarrrty!

Per sempre amore, I can't get enough

Per sempre amore, forever in love

And when we're together a gift from above

Per sempre amore, forever in love

"That's Amore"

Chloe AGAIN has tears in her eyes and can�t believe how incredibly romantic Philip is. She places his chin in her cupped hands then says, �Philipe� you are the sweetest, most kind, loving, understanding, and just the greatest guy a woman could ever dream of having in her life. I love you. I love you with every fiber of my being�.

Philip has tears in his eyes as does Chloe and each wipes the other�s tears away from their faces. He gently presses his lips against her soft, warm lips then kisses her passionately. He breaks away then says, �As much as I�d love to continue doing this, I�ve still got a couple more surprises for you. I only hope you love me enough�. Chloe says, �You keep saying that Philipe�. What�s that all about�? He smiles then says, �You�ll find out in a little bit Baby. So if you�ll excuse me for a few minutes, I promise I�ll be right back�.

Philip comes back and is a bit nervous but gets down on bended knee and has something in his hand. He looks lovingly into Chloe�s eyes then takes her hand in his and kisses it oh so gently with his lips. He says, �Baby, this is to you from my heart�. So he says these words to her:

I�ve had everything that money can buy,

Two parents and a place to call home.

But none of that mattered because all of my life I,

Have felt so lost and all alone.

So underneath a jock fa�ade I�d hide,

All the pain and emptiness I felt inside.

I didn�t know who I was or who I wanted to be,

Because my whole life had already been planned out for me.

I�d been groomed to run my Father�s Titan Company,

But have always known that�s not the life I wanted for me.

I needed to know who I am and what I want to be,

And needed to find that missing part of me.

So I turned 18 and decided to head out on my own,

To leave the only life I�ve ever known.

So I packed my bags, said my goodbyes, and hopped in my car,

And started to head out of town but didn�t get very far.

You see it was dark, cold and rainy that night,

And for some reason I hesitated when I needed to make that right.

Onto the road that would take me away from this place.

Then when something ran out in front of me I had fear on my face.

So I got out of my car and in front of it and on the ground I see,

That I�d hit a young woman and it scared the life out of me.

I checked her body/pulse and took off her glasses to see,

Two incredible, beautiful, and unique blue eyes staring back at me.

And from the moment I looked in your eyes I knew,

This was love at first sight and that is true.

Because when we looked into each other�s eyes we were in this trance,

And I think we both knew this was the beginning of our Romeo/Juliet romance.

You cried/begged me to take you with me because you were so very scared,

Of having to live with a Mother who abandoned you who you thought never cared,

But I cared and had this need to be near you and to make you feel loved/safe/secure,

So I took you with me to our family�s cabin where I could protect you, I was sure.

And at first we didn�t seem to get along but it didn�t take very long,

To open up our hearts to each other because the deep love/passion we feel for one another was so very strong.

Fate had brought us together because we were each other�s half that made us whole,

And we no longer feel that emptiness, lost, or alone because we found/love each other with our whole heart, body, and soul.

So I just want to say that you take my breath away,

And I love you more and more each and every day,

You are not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well,

And I�m eternally yours as if you couldn�t tell.

Because of you I�m free to explore who I am and who I want to be,

And you�ve made me a happy man, the man you need me to be.

I promise to always be by your side, love you, and keep you safe/secure,

And I�ll do everything in my power to make you happy for that you can be sure.

So before you go to sleep on me because I got carried away,

I�d better ask my question before you get scared and run away.

Chloe you know I love you with all of my heart, body, and soul,

And you also know you are the other half that makes me whole.

I promise to love/honor/cherish you forever,

and that I�ll never take you/our love for granted ever,

and I�ll treat you like a queen,

You are truly the most beautiful woman I�ve ever seen.

I love you, I need you, and you�re the great love of my life,

Chloe Baby, will you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife�?

Chloe starts crying and so does he. He gently wipes her tears away with his fingers then she says, �Philip! Yes�Yes�I�ll marry you and you�ve just made me the happiest woman alive�. He takes out a beautiful ring with a heart on it and it has several little diamonds around the heart. He places it on her finger and says, �This is an engagement ring and I promise I�ll get you an even better one when we get married�.

She�s crying and he takes her hand and lifts her up and says, �You know where you belong don�t you, my beautiful wife-to-be�? She gets in her spot then he holds her tight. He holds her like this for a while then music starts playing and he says, �Would you do your husband-to-be the honor of dancing this song with him�?

She looks into his eyes and says, �I�ll do anything for you Philip. I love you�. He says, �And I love you, too�. She hears the song and says, �I love this song. It�s called �I Need You� isn�t it�? He says, �Yes, and if you don�t mind, I�d like this to be our song�. She smiles and says, "It's just perfect...just as you are". He then wraps his arms around her waist as she wraps hers around his neck and they get lost in each other�s eyes. Their song is playing and here are the words to it:

I don�t need a lot of things

I can get by with nothing

Of all the blessings life can bring

I�ve always needed something

But I�ve got all I want

When it comes to loving you

You�re my only reason

You�re my only truth

I need you like water

Like breath like rain

I need you like mercy

From heaven�s gate

There�s a freedom in your arms

That carries me through

I need you

You�re the hope that moves me

To courage again

You�re the love that rescues me

When the cold winds rage

And it�s so amazing

�cause that�s just how you are

and I can�t turn back now

cause you�ve brought me too far

I need you
