Part 26:
John began to kiss Abby more and more passionately. She was willing for more, but he pulled away and got up.
"What?", She leaned against her elbows.
He turned to her.
"You're doing this again"
"C'mon. I planned something for you", He took her hand.
"What?"
"It's a surprise"
"I told you I hate surprises"
"But you're gonna love this one", He grabbed her hand and she stood, "Now go get changed"
She opened the closet and saw a light blue dress.
"John!", She made a surprised face.
"Did you like it?"
His voice was weak because he was away.
"You're kidding? I loved!"
He walked in the room and looked at her.
"Wow!"
"You liked?"
"If I liked? I loved! I was never so, so... seeing you with tuxedo and tie never had the effect it's having on me now"
He smiled.
"Good to know"
He brought her closer to him and kissed her passionately.
"You look wonderful in this dress"
"Really?"
"Oh yeah"
He smiled at her and then kissed her again.
