----------------------------

She turned over in the bed; it had been exactly a year since the week long build up to that day in the park. She remembered it all too well to forget it.

Will you be my valentine baby girl?

x

She went light headed at those words, Derek, Derek was her secret admirer and with that she cried, she broke and cried. Happy tears, no sadness in them, but pure happiness and surprise. She was happy to be sitting because otherwise she would have fell as her legs would have given way from the shock of the words. Every single word on every single piece of card all from Derek, the one man she had loved for years.

'So baby girl, what do you say? Will you be my valentine?'

She stood and turned to the voice. She smiled his favourite smile and the sight in front of her was the most amazing sight she could have wished for. There he was, her Chocolate Adonis, a smile on his face and another red rose. She was speechless, what had she done to deserve this?

'Well?'

'Oh Derek, of course I'll be you valentine.'

He stepped closer and opened his arms for her to fall into. He knew too well she was about to cry.

'The only reason I did this was to prove how much I love you. Pen, baby girl, I don't love you; I'm IN love with you. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to prove it. I hope you liked it.'

'Liked it? I loved it. Thank you.'

'For what, goddess?'

'Making me feel loved and wanted.'

'Well it's not the end.'

'It's not?'

'Nope.' He laughed slightly at her innocence. 'Come here, and get that key out.'

She got the key and followed him to the blanket, he told her to sit and then he sat next to her and slid the box over to her. 'Open it'

She unwrapped the box and saw a wooden jewellery box inside, carved with patterns and on top some words.

Forever thine

Forever mine

Forever outs

She looked up. 'What does this mean?'

'They were in a love letter, it was written by someone for his lover, his soul mate. The words although a little dated were what I feel for you. I have kept for so long how I truly felt for you, wanting to wrap my arms around you and tell you what you mean to me, what my life would be without you. Pen, you're the missing part of my soul. The part that makes me feel whole. The writer says he only feels happy with her, the one, in his arms. So happy in fact that his soul only belongs there. That's how I feel towards you Pen. He talks about one day being with her solely. Living with her and being lovers and more. You are my life, my love. And I want you to never misjudge...never believe false tales and rumors...of the man who loves you so unconditionally. The ending is about our love. I am forever yours as you are forever mine...we are forever one. Forever thine, forever mine, forever ours.

'Oh.' She didn't say much more, she simply couldn't she was chocked for words. Was she dreaming?

'Pen, I want you to be mine.'

'Derek, I love you.' And with that sentiment said she cried, she put her head down and felt the arms she longed for in loneliness wrap around her.

'Good, because I love you, not as a brother, or a friend or a best friend but as a lover, a partner and later a husband. That is if that's what you want?'

She nodded her head still on his chest.

'We have practical been something, all that banter and flirting was never something that wasn't serious, it was real and pure. I saw the look in your eyes when you said them and each time something happened in me and I never took notice, not truly did I evaluate what you meant to me until you were shot and got with Lynch. So, Pen will you open the box?'
