Nick was nervous. Its was Valentines Day and he had already brought a gift for Katherine and he was planning on making this a perfect day for her. He knew that Katherine had picked up his shifty attitude towards her and she wouldn't stop until she knew what was up.
He couldn't sleep so he carefully drew his arm that was wrapped around her body. He put a dressing gown on and quietly went downstairs. Will was with his mother for a weekend so he decided to do it today. For now though, he began to make her breakfast.
He checked the cupboards and decided to make her chocolate chip pancakes. He made the batter and poured it into the frying pan. He flipped it over and continued to make the pancakes until the batter ran out. He poured a cup of coffee and placed them on a tray. He brought the tray upstairs and placed it on the dresser. He climbed back on the bed and shook her awake."Nick?" She said drowsily."What time is it?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes."Just a little after 9. I made you breakfast." Nick told her and she was more alert."You didn't have to do that." Nick smiled at her "I didn't but I wanted to." He placed the tray between them and they ate in comfortable silence. Katherine glanced at Nick, sho was staring at her "What?""Nothing. Just wondering how I came to be with you." Nick smiled."Thanks.""Now come on." He pulled her off of the bed."Nick what are you doing?" She asked."Katherine, please I have a surprise for you." Nick said and gave her some clothes. He left and started getting the picnic basket in the boot.
"Nick?" Katherine called, coming down the stairs. He turned to her and stared in wonder. She was wearing a knee length dress that was very loose. She had boots on her feet and her hair was left natural."How'd I look?" She asks and he pulled her closer to him and kissed her lips."You look absolutely beautiful." She laughed at him and asked "where are we going?" Nick dragged her to the car and placed a blindfold on her."Secret!" He says and she groaned, normally his surprises are either good or bad.
They drove along to a park and Nick still kept the blind fold on her. He got out and grabbed the basket. He helped her out and they sat in a shaded place in the park. He took it off and she gasped on shock "Oh Nick it's beautiful." She hugged him and they laid down together, staring at the clouds.
They spent most of the afternoon, in that park creating happy memories together."Come on." He dragged her off to a fancy restaurant and she just took it I. They had a dinner of steak and chips, with a desert of cheesecake."Nick. Why dud you bring me here?" Katherine asked. He swallowed hard, suddenly feeling those nerves again."Nick?" She probed and he suddenly got on his knee."Nick! What are you doing?" She whispered.
"Katherine, you are the most wonderful being I know. I love you with all my heart. We've been with each other for years and my love for you grows more each year. You are a beautiful and caring person and have always been there for me 100% through the bad times. I know I shouldn't have married Rebecca and I was a fool but after Rebecca I thought that I couldn't find love again but the you came in my life again. You changed my life, you may disagree with me but everyone would tell you that you changed me and made ne a better person. You are my sense of direction and my stability. Katherine." Everyone was staring at them but Katherine and Nick only had eyes for each other."Will you marry me?" He asked.
Katherine replied "Yes! Yes I will!" She kissed him and hugged tight. He placed the ring on her finger and they heard clapping. They blushed and looked at each other."Hey there, fiancé." Nick whispered, his hand on her cheek."I could get used to that." She said back.
They spent the rest of the evening at home and made love a lot that weekend. A month later, she found out they were pregnant. They had a beautiful baby boy called Daniel and he was a page boy at the wedding. She became Mrs Clarke-Calvin and she couldn't be happier.
How's that for you? I know that valentines day was yesterday but a but of fluff won't do anyone any harm will it?
