| Sully was stuck in Michaela�s office. Neither one of them was saying anything. The tension was so thick. Ashley walked past the office and she didn�t hear any voices coming out of it. She walked to her station and told the rest of the nurses they had to come up with a plan fast. They discussed several different ideas until they settled on one. Ashley was friends with someone from maintenance and she asked him to help with the plan. They made their way to the basement where the breakers were. They found the one that lead to Michaela�s office and shut it off.
Michaela and Sully looked at each other when the electricity suddenly shut off. There was some sunlight coming in through the windows, but it was going to be dark soon. Sully looked at Michaela and took in her beauty. Her soft long brown hair, the rosy cheeks, and those soft full lips, oh how he wished he could feel them against his own. Michaela saw Sully looking at her and felt her heart race. �Michaela can we talk now?� �Might as well, we�re not going anywhere anytime soon.� Sully rested his elbows on her desk and looked in her eyes. �Michaela that woman you saw me with last night and this morning is my cousin Helene. She came into town a couple of days ago.� Besides I think she�s taken a liking to Hank. He took her hands in his and kept talking to her. �Hank told me everything.� �He did?� �Yes. At first I didn�t want to believe him but your mom backed up his story.� Michaela�s eyes began to form tears. �Oh Sully, I�m so sorry. I just didn�t want to be the cause of any more pain.� �Michaela I have been so miserable without you. Everything reminds me of you, and no matter how hard I try I can�t get you off my mind.� �I know I�ve been miserable too. I�m sorry!!� Sully walked around the desk and knelt down beside her. �No Michaela I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn�t have acted the way I did, and I shouldn�t have walked away.� He wiped away the tears that were running down her face, and gave her a soft passionate kiss. He pulled her up and led her to the window so they could see the sun set. Michaela was so glad to be back in Sully�s arms. The office was now being lit by the soft glow of the moon. Sully pulled away from Michaela and grabbed a bouquet of roses. He tore the petals off and started to spread them on the ground. He did the same thing with more bouquets until the office floor was covered in red, pink, white and orange rose petals. He took an orange rose and held it under Michaela�s nose so she could smell it. �Remember what this one means?� Michaela smiled and nodded. �It means enthusiasm and desire.� �Right.� He took the rose and started to peel the petals off one by one. With each petal he spoke to Michaela telling her why he loved her. �I love the way you look at me. I love the way you make me smile. I love how you make me feel anything is possible. I love your smile.� One by one he tore off the petals and told Michaela everything he loved about her. When he saw there were only a few petals left he gave the rose to Michaela who followed Sully�s game. She took off the petals and as she did she said, �I love the way you make me feel safe. I love the way you give me strength. I love the way how just the sound of your voice makes my knees go weak.� She did this until all the petals were gone. She had just taken off the last petal and had let it fall to the ground when she saw something sparkle in the moonlight. She looked at Sully and then back to where the petal had been. There in the middle of the flower was the ring she saw Sully buy that morning. �Sully?� �It�s for you.� �It�s beautiful, what type of jewel is this?� �It�s a birthstone.� |
