Such Is Life

Part 36

We got off the plane back in Florida and got into a cab.

"Cant wait to get home!" Chris grinned at me like there was something he wasn't telling me.

"Ok what are you plotting?" I said as he put his arm around me in the cab.

"Me? Plotting? I dont plot!"

"Yeah you do!" I laughed.

"Ok well maybe a little surprise but you will have to wait and see wont you!"

"I dont know if I like the look on your face buddy!"

"Relax will you, and come here and kiss me!" He smiled and I looked up and kissed him.

When we parted and I looked out of the window I realised we werent going the right way toget back to the appartment. "Where are we going this isnt the way home!"

"Wait and see!" He smiled.

"Chris!"

"Just wait all will become apparent in a few minutes!" he squeezed me close to him.

5 minutes later the cab stopped on a street I didn't recognise and Chris opened the door. "Come on we're here!"

"Where's here though?" I raised my eyebrows as he held out his hand to help me out of the car. He paid the driver and picked up our bags.

"Follow me!"

We walked around the corner and he put the bags down and put his hands over my eyes.

"What are you doing!" I giggled.

"Just keep walking I'll guide you!"

"Chris!"

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes but..."

"Well then stop complaining and keep walking!" He pushed me forwards still with his hands over my eyes.

"Ok where are we now?"

"Up a step....step....step.." he instrusted me as we climbed some steps, "Right hold on don't open your eyes ok?"

"But..."

"Promise me you wont open your eyes!"

"Ok ok I promsie!"I laughed and he took his hands away as I squeezed my eyes shut. I heard something rattle like keys and then he put his hands over my eyes again. "You have got me worried now!"

'Keep walking..oh step up!" I did as he asked then all of a sudden I felt myself being picked up into his arms and I screamed as he put me over his shoulder.

"Keep them closed!" he laughed.

"Ok I am! What are you doing? Put me down!"

"Ok..." He put me down and stood behind me, "Now open them!"

Slowly I opened my eyes, infront of me was a huge swimming pool set in a beautiful garden. Green lawns, white pavements, decking, it was so gorgeous it almost took my breath away. "What the..."

"You like?"

"Wow it's.....wow!" He put his arms around my waist from behind as I scanned around the garden. The pool was a brilliant blue colour twinkling in the Miami sunshine, the whole sight was like something from a movie!

"So....." he turned me around to face him, "You wont mind that I bought it then?"

"You what?!" My eyes widned.

"We wanted a big house, with a pool right? In Florida! I remembered! I thought you might like it!"

I was speechless, I couldnt believe he'd bought this place and I hadnt even seen the house! "This....this is yours?"

"No, it's ours!" he smiled.

"Oh Chris!" I threw my arms around his neck.

"Told you we'd make it didnt I?"

"Yeah you did!" I smiled with tears in my eyes.

"Well....WE MADE IT BABY!" He lifted me up in his arms and I laughed.

"You're crazy ya know that! Totally off the chart mental!" I shook my head and laughed.

"Yeah I'm crazy I know! That's why you love me right?"

"That and the rest!" I smiled and kissed his lips.

"So you wanna see the bedroom now?!" He wiggled his eyebrows and I laughed.
