are you?"
A single folded piece of paper was on the floor.
'Another game.' She thought to herself.
Her husband had been playing games all day. The first one was also her
favorite. While she waited in bed as Justin made breakfast, someone came
into her room and "kidnapped" her. She was blindfolded, bound, and gagged.
After about a 10-minute drive, her captor guided her to their destination
and left her alone. Another few minutes passed by and her blindfold was
removed. In front of her on a large blanket sat a plate of omelets, hash
browns, juice, and Justin. They ate breakfast on the beach and talked into
the early afternoon.
'Go to the kitchen and find my buddy,' read Justin's familiar
handwriting.
Molly smiled as she walked slowly into the kitchen. A candle stood on the
floor next to the paper. 'Light me and take me into the bathroom.'
Molly picked up the light blue lighter and lit the candle. Gently, she
picked up the candle and the paper and slowly made her way into the large
bathroom. As she gingerly opened the door, she expected to find an
elaborate bathroom scene complete with candles and rose petals. She was
met with a lone trail of papers leading out the other door. On the edge of
the tub sat yet another folded piece of paper.
'I know what you were thinking you dirty girl? follow the papers and see
what lies behind door number 2.'
"Jerk." Molly smirked as she picked up each solitary piece of paper. Each
had a letter on it that spelled out F-O-R-E-V-E-R. Carrying her candle in
one hand and the papers in the other, Molly cautiously walked through the
other door and out to the balcony. The last piece of paper sat on top of
the marble tile.
'Look into the garden.'
Molly turned her eyes upward towards the small flower garden she planted
last spring. Her breath caught in her throat as tears filled her eyes.
Soft lights, light music, and the beautiful roses, lilies, and lilacs
surrounded her wonderful husband.
"Took you long enough Juliet." Justin used his million-dollar smile as he
walked underneath the balcony.
"Well Romeo someone decided to put useless pieces of paper all around my
house." She smiled.
"Are you going to come down or do I have to scale the wall?"
"Well if you're lucky?" she smiled and made her way into the yard.
"How did I end up with you?" Molly asked as they slow danced in the garden
beneath an early sunset.
"Just lucky I guess?" he grinned and kissed the top of her head.
Molly sighed happily. This was the best night of her life.
'And it only gets better,' she thought to herself with a smile.
