I also do not own the song God Gave Me You by Blake Shelton.
Jackie Stokes was exhausted as she walked through the door of her house on Friday night. It was 9:00 in the evening and thanks to parent-teacher conferences she had just gotten off of work.
"Hi, how'd it go today?" Nick asked as she took off her shoes.
"It went really well, it was just a very long day, actually it's been a long week. I'm glad it's Friday." She replied.
Nick smiled "Come here, I have a surprise for you." He said as he took her hand and led her upstairs.
He stopped at the closed master bedroom door. Jackie looked at him curiously. When he opened the bedroom door she was more than a little surprised at what she saw. The light was off but the room was dimly lit with several candles and there was a trail of rose petals that led from the doorway all the way to the bed and there were several rose petals sprinkled on the bed as well.
"What's all this?" she asked with her mouth open.
"I know you always get stressed out during parent-teacher conferences so I thought I would do something nice for you, although I don't know why you always get so stressed out when you have to meet with the kids parents, the parents love you and the kids completely adore you and you know that. Anyway, are you surprised?" He added with a grin.
"I'm shocked." She admitted with a smile of her own.
Nick had her sit on the bed and then he went over to the CD player. He turned it on, flipped to the song he wanted, grabbed the T.V remote, and then went back over to the bed where she sat. He grabbed her hand and then he put the remote control up to his mouth as if it were a microphone. He then began to sing to her:
I've been a walking heartache But you stay here right beside me Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
Gave me you
There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
And I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you
Yeah God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt On my own I'm only Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you
He gave me you
When the song was over Jackie began to kiss him passionately. Nick kissed her back feverishly but just as it was starting to get really steamy Houston's cries filled the room through the baby monitor on the nightstand. Nick stopped kissing her and smiled at her.
"I'll go." He offered as he stood up.
"God gave me him too." He added with a grin as he left the room.
Jackie smiled to herself as she watched him walk down the short hallway to the baby's room.
