| When she arrived at her house she noticed a package on her front porch. The package was neatly wrapped and there was a gardenia tied in the bow. She picked the package up and saw that there was a note attached. She carried the package inside and placed it on the table while she read the note. The note simply read �Put me on.� She opened the package and gasped when she saw what it was.
Inside the package was a beautiful red dress. The dress hung off her shoulders and dipped low in the front. The top half of the dress clung to her body showing off her figure while the skirt flared out. She put the dress on and was surprised to see it was a perfect fit. Whoever had purchased this dress obviously knew what size she was. She took the dress off so that she could take a quick bath and get ready. By now Michaela knew that Sully liked it when she wore her hair down. She put on the dress and had just finished when she heard the doorbell ring. Michaela opened the door and smiled when she saw Sully standing there with a beautiful red rose for her. He gave her a kiss and asked, �Ready to go?� �Yes, just let me grab my coat.� She grabbed her coat that was hanging by the door and they headed out. �Where are we going?� �It�s a surprise.� Another thing Michaela had learned by now was that she should trust Sully and not ask any questions. His surprises were always the best. Sully led her to his car and they drove away. It wasn�t long before they had arrived to the restaurant where they had had dinner together for the first time. Sully had made reservations and when they were shown to their table Michaela found a Forget-Me-Not at her place. She looked at Sully who looked back at her with an expression that said, �Who me?� During dinner they talked about everything that was going on. After dinner Sully asked Michaela if she wanted some desert. �I�d love some thank you.� Sully motioned for the waiter and he whispered something in his ear. Michaela sat still trying to hear what Sully was saying, but all the people around them made it impossible. A few minutes later the waiter returned with two bowls of pudding. One was chocolate and the other was vanilla. He also handed Michaela an Orchid. Michaela looked up at Sully and he just smiled at her. �What was he up to?� she thought. They ate their desert and when they were about to leave another waiter came and gave Michaela a Red Camellia. �Sully? What�s going on? Why am I receiving all of these flowers?� Michaela couldn�t figure out how Sully was managing to give the waiters the flowers. After all he hadn�t left her side all evening. Little did Michaela know that Sully had an accomplice. Dorothy was hiding from view and she was the one handing the waiters the flowers. As Sully paid the bill Michaela was approached by the hostess who handed her a White Camellia. Michaela knew Sully was up to something. This reminded her of the time he had surprised her with the roses. When Sully returned to her he held one of his hands behind his back. As he got closer he pulled it out and held out a Primrose for her. She smiled, hooked her arm in his, and they headed out. They drove around for a while. Sully was taking her back to her house, but he was taking the long way home. Michaela noticed he was stalling, but she didn�t say anything. Finally after what seemed like a long ride they arrived at her house. Sully got out of the car and walked to the other side to open the door for Michaela. She got out of the car and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. �Thank you for this wonderful evening.� Sully smiled and said, �It�s not over yet.� He led her to the front door and waited for her to open the door. Michaela unlocked the door and walked in backwards while she asked Sully if he would like to go in. Sully pulled her in for a kiss and when he pulled away he told her to close her eyes. Michaela didn�t protest and did what he asked. Sully led her in holding his hand over her eyes to make sure she didn�t peek. He reached to flip the light switch on and when he managed to do so he removed his hand from her eyes and whispered. �Alright open them.� Michaela was speechless her living room was covered with flowers. There were red roses, forget-me-nots, gardenias, orchids, white and red camellias and primroses. She looked at Sully to try and figure out what was going on and how he had managed to do all of this. �Remember when you cooked for me you told me you had your connections?� Michaela smiled and nodded. �Well, I have my connections too.� �Now will you tell me what�s going on?� |
