Holly J & Declan Ten Years In The Future
Holly J smiled and grabbed her champagne glass and tapped the edge delicately with her knife. "Toast shall we?"
Everyone else in the room all picked up their glasses. She barely knew any of the people in the room, but she acted like they were her best friends for the sake of her husband. "To Declan Coyne, his first full year, running the firm."
"To Declan!" Everyone cheered as they took sips from their drinks. Holly J sat and smiled as Declan pressed his lips to her cheek. After high school, he'd gone to Harvard Law School and Holly J sat next to him in their every class.
By age 25, Declan had gotten a job in the nation's most successful law firm and by age 26, he'd bought it from the owner. Now him, his wife, his two beautiful daughters and his close friends celebrated his one year anniversary.
Holly J uncomfortably fidgeted with the collaring of her strapless black floor gown. Declan noticed and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "No worries. You look beautiful. The belle of the ball."
She smiled and they shared another kiss as cameras everywhere flashed, capturing the not so private moment between the two. Holly J looked at him. "Does that mean I get a dance?"
Declan grinned and stood, capturing his wife's hand. "Two if you're good."
She laughed and allowed him to lead her onto the dance floor. They began slowly rocking to a song being played by the jazz band the firm's event manager booked. Holly J sighed as she laid her head on Declan's shoulder as he led her feet.
It's something she'd grown used to, being led by Declan. She would never tell him, but she often felt like him leading her had caused her to lose her fire. She wasn't used to being led, to having to follow someone else's rules.
No one ever expected that she'd be the typical submissive and obedient wife, instead of the domineering powerhouse.
Declan lowered his lips to her ear. "When we get home, I'm going to grab you from behind, then I'm going to kiss you and touch you and talk dirty to you."
She softly giggled and looked up to meet his lips. Another round of flashes passed and she smiled up at him. "I don't think that's likely Mister Coyne. Your mom is at home with the girls. I think the noise might frighten them."
He raised an eyebrow. "So there will be noise?"
She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Don't count on it buddy."
Declan laughed and walked with her over to the balcony, where they'd sneakily gotten out. He pointed to the office that was lit up in the dark of the city lights. "You see that building?"
She nodded and allowed him to wrap his arms around her shoulders so the breeze wouldn't make her cold. "Without you, that wouldn't have been possible. Everything I do, everyday and every night, it would all be impossible without you. You are my motivation. You are the reason I get up extra early in the morning and get home extra late at night. I want to thank you for being my wife, for making all of this happen."
She smiled as a small tear dropped from her eye. "I love you Decs."
He smiled. "I love you too Holly Jeanette…Mrs. Coyne."
They both smiled and gazed off at the city lights as their special night went on.
It was so hard not to cry on that last part. "Without you, none of this would've been possible."
Waah, I know, pass on the Kleenex. Lol, I really liked the idea of a kind, patient Holly J. And Declan was amazing here (who wants to imaging that hot thing in a tux??) And I can just imagine them with two little girls :)))
And with this magic wand, I will make you love it…love it…LOVE IT! Lol.
Reviews are like Declan dirty talking in my ear!!!
