Chapter 21
After getting out of work the next day, Sabrina headed over to Patrick's to spend the night with him and Emma. When Patrick opened the door, she was surprised to see him in a suit and clean-shaven. "Patrick, what's going on? Why are you so dressed up?"
"Well there's been a slight change of plans."
"There has?"
"Yes, just the two of us are going to go out tonight."
"But what about Emma?" Sabrina asked.
"I've got that covered," Felix said coming around the doorway with Emma in tow.
"Yeah, Felix and I are going to hang out tonight," Emma said excitedly.
"Oh, but you look so nice. I should go home and change."
"I've got that covered too," Felix said grinning.
"Yeah, come on Sabrina," Emma said grabbing her hand. "Come get ready in my room."
"Okay," Sabrina said following Emma upstairs, giving Patrick a look of confusion as she went by, but only getting a wink out him. When she reached Emma's room, she saw a beautiful new dress, shoes and jewelry laid out for her. "Felix, that dress is gorgeous. Okay you guys, what is going on?"
"Daddy wants to spend the night with you," Emma said excitedly.
"Oh he does?" Sabrina asked looking at Felix hoping for more information, but could tell he wasn't going to cave. It figures that he would choose now to stay quiet about something.
"Yup! Okay Felix – No boys allowed! You have to get out so Sabrina can get ready!"
"Okay, okay. I'm going," Felix said heading toward the door.
After Emma helped Sabrina get ready she headed downstairs ahead of Sabrina. "Daddy?" Emma called out. "Sabrina's ready!"
Now that Robin had finally signed the divorce papers, Patrick wanted to celebrate with Sabrina, so he roped Felix and Emma into helping him plan a night out. When Sabrina entered the living room, he instantly knew that Felix had come though. She looked even more gorgeous than she normally did. "Wow, you look beautiful," Patrick said walking over to her and giving her a kiss.
"Thank you," Sabrina said smiling. "Well, should we head out?"
"Definitely. All right, Emma, please be good for Felix okay?"
"Okay Daddy, have fun with Sabrina."
"I will. Good night Sweetheart," Patrick said kissing her on the forehead.
"Good night, Daddy."
"I love you,"
"Me too."
"Felix, thank you!" Patrick said giving him a look that he owed him one.
Patrick wished there was somewhere other than the MetroCourt that he could have taken Sabrina, but it was the nicest place in town and she deserved the best. Fortunately, Felix was able to get Carly to put them on the list for the orchestra that was playing the ballroom that night, so at least they wouldn't be in the restaurant.
When they arrived at the MetroCourt, Sabrina felt a little awkward knowing that Patrick had just been here the day before with Robin. She was relieved when he headed to the ballroom instead of the restaurant. As Patrick took hold off her hand as they followed the usher to where they would be sitting, Sabrina smiled, grateful to be spending such a special night with Patrick.
After spending the night, eating, appreciating the music, holding each other close on the dance floor and mostly enjoying each other's company, Sabrina was dreading the night coming to an end. As the final song came to an end, Patrick and Sabrina headed back to their table to collect their things. "Patrick, thank you. Tonight was amazing."
"You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it."
"It was wonderful, I wish it didn't have to end."
"It doesn't."
"What do you mean?"
"Well at least it doesn't have to end right now, if you don't want it to. I didn't want to be presumptuous, but there is a room upstairs with our name on it and Felix has agreed to spend the night," Patrick said. He had wanted to spend the night with her for weeks and now that Robin had signed the papers, he was hoping she would finally say yes.
"Really?"
"Yes, but if you don't want…" Patrick started.
"No, I'd love to," Sabrina said delighted she would be able to spend the night with Patrick and thankful that it wouldn't be in Robin's bed.
"You would?"
"I would," Sabrina said reaching up to kiss him.
When they reached the room, Sabrina was surprised to see the bed covered in rose petals, and a tray with strawberries covered in chocolate and champagne chilling near by. "Patrick," Sabrina said turning back to face him after taking in the room. "I can't believe you did all of this."
"Well I had some help, but you, my love, deserve it. What do you say? Want some dessert?"
"Yes! You certainly know the way to my heart, Patrick Drake."
Patrick laughed, "Chocolate," he said causing Sabrina to laugh as well. He opened the bottle of champagne causing the cork to go flying across the room and the champagne to explode out of the bottle. Sabrina grabbed the glasses for Patrick to pour the champagne into. Putting the bottle down and taking his glass from Sabrina, he lifted his glass, "To you and me."
"To you and me," Sabrina repeated before taking a sip.
After putting their glasses down, Patrick sat down on the small sofa in the room and wrapping his arms around Sabrina's waist, he pulled her down onto his lap and tightening his hold he drew her in for a kiss, picking up where she left off in the locker room the day before. "Did I mention how beautiful you look tonight?" Patrick asked pulling away.
"You did. You clean up pretty well yourself Dr. Drake," Sabrina said before taking another sip of champagne.
"I promised you chocolate," Patrick said picking up a strawberry for Sabrina, who opened her mouth so that he could feed it to her.
"Mmm, that is delicious," Sabrina said as she grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth, but before she could Patrick kissed her.
"You're right, it is delicious," Patrick said.
After Patrick's last kiss, Sabrina had enough dessert, now she just wanted Patrick. While still sitting on his lap she shifted slightly so that she had one leg on each side of him. Putting her hands on the back of his head, she pulled him towards her and kissed him.
Taking his cues from Sabrina, he wrapped his arms around her holding her tightly and stood up. With her legs wrapped around him, he carried her over to the bed and laid her down softly, never breaking their kiss. Patrick couldn't wait any longer and finding the zipper on the side of her dress, he slowly moved the zipper down so her dress just fell away. Sabrina lifted her hips slightly so that Patrick could pull the dress down. "You're even more beautiful than I remember," Patrick said causing Sabrina to blush as he placed light kisses on her forehead, chest and stomach.
As he moved back up, Sabrina unbuttoned his shirt, which Patrick quickly removed, aching to feel her skin on his. "Are you sure about this?" Patrick asked wanting to be sure she was ready and that she wouldn't regret anything. In response, Sabrina reached up, bringing her lips to his, while her hands began working on his belt buckle. And finally, Patrick was able to do what he wanted to do the minute his eyes laid on her all those weeks ago.
