It was the strangest display of proof that she and I belong together that I'd ever seen. It was about 4:50 on Friday afternoon, and I was finishing up my final proofing on my story. We discussed going out that night, but I thought about her too much to want to share her with the rest of the world. I knew she'd be tired, so I wanted to make sure I prepared a perfect evening. I stopped by the florist and bought 3 dozen peach roses-They're her favorite. I found some of her favorite massage oils and bath beads, so I was totally prepared for a night of pampering her. I even stopped by her favorite boutique on the way home to search for this black negligee that she loved so much. They had one more left on Wednesday and I wanted to see it adorning my wife's lovely frame. But when I got there, it was gone. But I, undeterred, continued home to make my wife feel like the beautiful lady she had always been to me.
I opened the door and almost fell due to the fact that the hall light was dimmed. I went to turn on the lamp, and she had taped a note. The note instructed me to meet her upstairs at exactly 5:45. As I walked in, it was 5: 40 and I could hardly contain myself. I sat in the living room armchair, I took a bowl from the kitchen and got a bowl of ice and four of her favorite candles. I tried my best to be casual as I walked up the stairs, but I was more anxious than a rich family with an only child at Christmas.
So as I strolled up the stairs. bucket of ice and roses in hand, candles in my overcoat, I saw her. She was wearing a long black gown leaving plenty to my overactive imagination. She immediately took the bucket of ice, seductively running it around her tongue. She sat on the bed as I lit the candles around the room. As I began to remove the rose petals and spread them on our bed, she peeked in my bag and discovered the massage oil and bath beads. It was music to my ears when she finally spoke to me.
"I've been wanting to feel you with me all day, and now that I have you I don't know if the jaws of life could pry me away."
