| Sully held both of her hands and let her to the living room.
�Still have all the flowers you received today?� Michaela nodded and held out the flowers that were in her hand. Sully took them from her and locked his gaze with hers. He held out the gardenia and said, �This gardenia is they joy you have brought into my life.� Then he pulled out the red rose and the forget-me-not, �These two flowers represent the love that I feel for you. It�s pure and true.� �This orchid symbolizes your beauty, although in my eyes it doesn�t quite match up.� He handed her the white camellia and said. �This is to let you know I think you�re adorable when you blush.� Then he handed her the red one. �This one is to let you know that you have lit a flame in my heart.� Michaela�s eyes were filling up with tears. She loved the way Sully made her melt and the way he could be so romantic. �This Michaela, this is to let you know that I cannot live without you.� He handed her the primrose and got down on one knee. Michaela let her tears flow freely now. Sully grabbed her left hand and looked her straight in the eyes. �Michaela I don�t know what I would do without you, and to be honest I really don�t want to find out. I love with my whole body and soul. Will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?� Michaela knelt down and kissed Sully passionately. Sully pulled away and said, �So I take it this is a yes?� Michaela put her forehead up to Sully�s and whispered, �Yes Sully I will marry you.� Chapter 19 Sully reached into his pant pocket and pulled something out. Michaela hoped it would be a ring, but when she saw what was in his hands she couldn�t help but become a little disappointed. Sully noticed the expression on Michaela�s face and smiled. �Don�t worry the evening isn�t over yet.� �What?� �You�ll see come on.� Sully pulled her up and let her to the backyard. There were candles from the door to the middle of the yard where they formed a heart. In the middle of the heart was a single long stem red rose. It was in a clear crystal vase. And there were rose petals all around it that spelled out the initials M and S. Sully took Michaela�s hand and as they walked toward the rose he unfolded the piece of paper he had taken out of his pocket earlier and began to read. �You are the one that fills my days with happiness and joy. You are he one that fills my heart with love I want to keep discovering you. Your triumphs, your hurts. What brings you peace? Because with each new discovery I find something new to love about you..� They had reached the rose in the middle and he handed it to Michaela. Michaela held it up to her nose to smell the sweet scent and as she brought it down something sparkly caught her attention. She looked at Sully whose eyes were tearing up and then back at the rose. In the middle of the flower was a ring. Sully took the ring and slid it on her finger. Michaela was so happy all she wanted was to be in Sully�s arms. That night Michaela had another one of her dreams. This time it was a very good one. She was wearing the most beautiful white wedding dress. It was a beautiful spring day and she was standing in the middle of a meadow. Her family and friends were there and standing at the altar was Sully. She couldn�t believe the day had finally come when they would be man and wife. She saw the reverend move his lips but she was so busy staring at Sully that she didn�t really hear what he was saying until she heard. �Do you Byron Sully take Michaela to be your lawfully wedded wife?� �I do.� �And do you Michaela take Byron Sully to be you lawfully wedded husband?� �I do.� �Then by the power invested in me. I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.� |
