Chapter 4.
A year later on Valentines Day
"Karen, we have to go now, Grace will take good care of Lucas" Will said as he tried to get his wife ready for their night out.
It was their wedding anniversary and Will had planned the whole evening, with their first stop at Jack's new play. He had quit Beauty and the Beast and was now, since about four months, starring in Oklahoma as Curly.
"I'm coming" she said as she kissed her son goodnight.
Lucas was going to spend the night and the following day with Grace, who gladly had offered to take him when Will asked her. Though Karen had a hard time to be separated from him that long. Finally Will kissed his son goodnight and grabbed Karen's hand and dragged her out of Grace's apartment.
"Bye Lucas" she said, almost crying.
"Karen, he's not going away forever. You'll see him again tomorrow night" Will tried to talk some sense into his wife.
"But it feels like we're abandoning him" Karen sobbed as Will dragged her out of the elevator to their waiting limo.
"Karen, let's try to relax and have a great night alright? We deserve this. Since Lucas was born, we haven't really had any time to ourselves. We deserve that" Will said as he opened the door for her to climb into the limo.
She climbed in hesitantly after looking up at the window of Grace's apartment. She saw that it was light inside.
"Karen, come on, climb inside so we can go" Will whispered as he took a step closer to her and kissed her cheek.
She turned around and climbed inside with a worried expression on her face.
Will climbed in after her, and as he closed the door he kissed her cheek again.
"Karen, he'll be just fine with Grace. I promise. She loves him almost as much as we do, you know that."
She nodded but still couldn't help but feel a little worried. Since Lucas was born they hadn't been separated for an hour, let alone 24 hours.
At the theatre
After the show Karen and Will got backstage and into Jack's dressingroom which he shared with his boyfriend, who also played in the same show, but the part of Jud. Jack and Mark was inseparable and it was amazing for both Will and Karen to see how much in love the two men were with each other.
"Jack, Mark, you were awesome, both of you" Will praised his best friend and his boyfriend.
"Thank you Will" Jack said and hugged him and then Karen.
"Thanks Will" Mark said and shook his hand and then gave Karen a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for coming, it means alot to us" he continued.
"Yeah, you guys were so good" Karen said and smiled at them.
"Yeah" Will said. "How long do you stay in this show, Jack?" he asked.
"I got a contract for about a year" Jack answered.
"That's good, then we can come and see you several times more then" Will said and smiled.
"Yeah, if you want."
"Of course we do" Karen said and smiled at him.
"By the way, happy anniversary guys" Jack said and gave them another hug.
"Thanks poodle" Karen said and hugged him back.
"Yeah, thanks Jackie" Will said and hugged back. "Well, I guess we have to go now, we've got dinner reservations" he said when he let go of Jack and looked at his watch.
At the restaurant
Karen and Will got out to their limo again, all wound up after a good performance from both Jack and Mark, and got to their restaurant. It was a very romantic restaurant with candles and roses everywhere and everywhere there were couples sitting, eating, drinking and looking very much in love, just like Will and Karen.
They ordered their food, drinks and desserts. During the meal, Will occasionally held Karen's hand, while looking into her eyes. Those eyes still got his heart to beat faster and make him weak in the knees.
"Karen, I love you" he whispered, only loud enough for her to hear as he took her hand and kissed each fingertip gently.
"I love you too Will" she smiled and looked back into his brown, velvet eyes. His eyes made her heart flutter and she started to breathe a little heavier.
When he had kissed every fingertip, she cupped his cheek with her hand and looked lovingly into his eyes, causing Will to swallow hard.
The dessert came in, and Will took a spoon of the peartasting sorbet and before he could swallow it, Karen fed him another spoon. He took it and within a second he was overwhelmed by the cold. He felt like his brain froze, but he managed to keep it down to a minimal, only Karen saw his expressions and she giggled.
"Oh, you are so gonna pay for that" Will said after he finally swallowed it and caught his breath again.
The homecoming
The rest of the dessert went rather painless and they left in the limo for their mansionhome. Their home was made into a romantic one for the night. As soon as they got inside the door, there were only candles everywhere, red rosepeddles and candles everywhere.
Will lifted her up in his arms with ease, carrying her slowly past the candles up to the bedroom, where he had instructed the servants to make the bed with red satinsheets, put on some soft, romantic pianomusic, put dozens and dozens of roses and rosepeddles everywhere. Candles were situated everywhere and the fire was lit in the fireplace. Will smiled when he saw that everything was in order. Karen inhaled sharply when she saw everything.
"You did this?" she asked him with her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Well, not technically, that was the servants but it was my instructions, yeah" he admitted.
She kissed him, first just on the lips but then deeper, her hands in his hair now. He kissed bck with all he had, carrying her inside and let her down on the floor while never breaking the contact between their lips. Finally they had to break apart though. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, burying his face and nose by her shoulder. He smelled her hair, peach and mango. Her perfume intoxicated him, a mix of different tropical smells. Her deep red satin dress mesmerized him. It followed her body perfectly, showing off just enough of her curves and cleavage without being daring. It turned him so badly that he could almost not contain himself, but he had to. A night like this was not common nowadays and he wanted to make it last.
