| Sully was back at his house now and he was also having one of his dreams. Like Michaela this was a happy dream. He carried Michaela inside the train and kissed her passionately as he put he carried her to the bed. He sat her down never breaking off the kiss. Then he kissed her neck as his hands worked their way to his back and he started undoing the back of her dress.
�Sully! It�s not even dark yet.� Sully broke the kiss and moved to the windows pulling down the first shade he said. �But it�s getting darker, and darker, and darker.� Then he moved back to her to give her another passionate kiss allowing his tongue to slip in her mouth. He pulled away again and went to the next shade looking at her while he kept saying, �and darker.� He went back to her and started nibbling her neck. This time Michaela stood up and went to the last shade. She smiled at him teasingly and as she pulled down the shade she said. �and darker.� Michaela was sitting next to him on the bed now, and just as she was going to kiss him his alarm woke him up. The next day Sully had invited his mom to lunch and told her he had something important to tell her. Michaela had also invited Dorothy to lunch telling her she had some big news. Michaela�s day at the hospital dragged. It seemed like every time she looked at the clock only five minutes had passed. She couldn�t wait until she was supposed to meet Sully, Katherine and Dorothy so they could tell them their news. Sully also felt that his day was going slow. He had already told Dorothy, but he hadn�t shared any of this with his mom. He couldn�t wait to see the look on her face when she heard. Finally Michaela looked at her watch and realized it was time to go meet her fianc� and her friends. Fianc�, she loved the sound of that. She took a quick glance at her ring and smiled. �Oh how I love this man.� Sully arrived at the same time Michaela did and as she got closer he could see her smile get wider. He opened up his arms to her and she ran to him. They hugged each other as tight as humanly possible. �Ready?� Michaela sighed and looked at those beautiful blue eyes. �Ready as I�ll ever be.� They held hands and walked into the restaurant. Michaela and Sully had developed a secret code between them. Every time they were somewhere public and one of them was nervous they would hold hands. Whoever was nervous would squeeze the other�s hand four times and the other would respond by squeezing back three times. As they neared the table Sully felt Michaela squeeze four times. He smiled and squeezed back three times to reassure her. �Hi mom.� �Hello Katherine.� Both Michaela and Sully gave Katherine a hug before they sat down. It didn�t take long for Katherine to notice the ring on Michaela�s finger, but she kept quiet. Sully and Michaela glanced across the table and greeted Dorothy. Dorothy had a suspicious smile on her face and Michaela picked up on it. �Dorothy? Why are you smiling?� �Oh uh�. I was just remembering something.� Michaela knew she wasn�t going to get any more information out of her friend so she dropped the subject. �So� What�s the big news?� Katherine couldn�t wait any longer. She wanted to know what was so important. �Yes what is the big news?� Dorothy looked at Sully and gave him a knowing smile. �Well, last night I asked Michaela to marry me.� Before he could finish he was interrupted. �And I said yes.� Michaela couldn�t hold it in any longer. She wanted to shout it out. �Congratulations!!� Dorothy and Katherine exclaimed in unison. �So have you set a date yet?� Dorothy asked as Sully and Michaela looked at each other. �No not yet. I want to wait until my parents get back from their vacation so I can tell them and then we can start planning.� �But I would like to have the wedding on Valentine�s Day.� Sully looked at her. Valentine�s day was only four months away, and there was so much he wanted to do. He knew that if he started working on things right away he could get everything done in time. |
