The scene before holly is one of sheer astonishment, never in a wildest dreams could she have ever expected that this is what Gail wanted to show her. She literally had too blink a few times, she even went as far as putting her eyes up too her eyes and rubbing them a few times. But yes she wasn't dreaming or imagining what she was seeing before her eyes, Gail did the impossible.
The roof of their apartment building was spacious so it made what Gail had in mind possible to create, but before she started with decorations or anything in that area.
She sorted a guess list with some very important people to whom her girlfriend had not seen in a while. With the fact that the older woman was paying her cousin in Montreal a visit it gave the younger woman ample time to get started, about three days to be exact. So after dropping the doctor off to the airport she made haste back to their apartment, thanking all that was good and sane she had a week off which was too end in five days.
Gail had been planning on doing this for some time but only got the courage about a week ago and then all that was left was too figure out how to do it, that would be hard part and she was right. She made a list of all the things she needed to do:
. get rid of Holly for a little while
. get her friends over at fifteen too help, even acquiring the help of Steve
. get the all clear from the building manager
. get into contact with Holly's friends and coworkers but the hardest one of all was the older woman's parents, since they were in Europe on business.
Holly's parents were every accomplished people her dad was head surgeon at a prestigious hospital and her mom was a lawyer and a partner at one of the end law firms in Toronto. She decided to tackle the last part first since that was the hardest, after spending almost all of the day trying to get into contact with and finally was she was about to give up she got through and she asked if they could come back for a very special and important day in their daughters lives. They said they could arrange some stuff and they would be there. With the biggest issue out of the way she got on with the rest of the plan.
With everything going according to plan she was ready with everything the day before her girlfriend was supposed to be back.
Holly look around and saw all her friends, some she had not seen a while due to the fact they either left the city for a job or another reason they were all in one place. Not even watching at the decorations or at the fact Gail had disappear entirely from her presence. The roof has twinkling crystal lights running all over the wall above the door frame. A table laid out with snacks and all her favourite foods even had a lemon and cream upside down cake which she loved and didn't even know Gail could find one in the city. She adore when her mom would make her that cake on special occasions as not too erase the special effect Holly would feel.
A silent tear trickled down her cheek when she thought of her mom, the doctor had not seen her parents in over six months and although they skyped every other week it still wasn't the same and she missed her parents but her mother most of all. The sky was clear tonight she thought you could even see a few twinkling stars.
She remembered when she first told Gail that she loved her was cool night they had strolled through the park and came too and halt by an old wooden swing that they passed every time they would take this path through the park. The doctor decided that right there and then she couldn't hold it in any longer she had to tell the blonde that she loved her because she felt like she was bursting at the seams by keeping it in this long. When she told her most favourite person in the world those three words, the reaction she got wasn't what she expected the blonde starting cry. Holly panicked thinking what did I say was it so wrong or maybe she doesn't feel the…..all her thinking was silenced when Gail crashed her lips into the other woman's. When they parted she simply said "Ditto" all the older woman could do was chuckle and wrapped her arms tightly around her girlfriend that was twenty one months ago.
She turned back around and saw that it was not only her friends and coworkers that were there but also all of Gail's friends, Steve and her parents were there but yet no sight of her girlfriend. She made her way over too her girlfriend's parents and brother making small conversation. Simply hi's and how are you doing but while all this was going on she felt someone tap her on the shoulder she spins around hoping its Gail because all that is missing is Gail. She needs to hold her and kiss her and also to find out what happen earlier downstairs with her girlfriend but she isn't going to find out now considering who she sees when she turns around.
Her parents she couldn't believe her eyes once again her girlfriend has done something so sweet and sincere she smiles her signature lopsided smile. She hugs them tightly, first her dad gives a bear hug like when she young and gives a big kiss on her forehead. Now it was mom's turn that hug was so gentle but also very loving both theirs eyes begin too water, then she pulls away and thinks. "Wait a minute, mom the cake was that you? How did you reach here? What are you guys doing here? "Her mother replies, in the exact order she was asked "yes, your girlfriend called us and told us just too be here for something really important" By the way where is that girlfriend of yours, her daughter's reply was a just a simply shrug of the shoulders.
They moved too an end of the roof where there was an empty table that a single vase of flowers and spent about an hour talking, simply catching up. Holly found it weird that she hasn't seen the younger woman in almost three hours, she excused herself from her parents and set in search of her but after looking for about twenty minutes too no avail she found Traci. "Where is she? Have you see Gail?" Traci just smiled shyly and turned her around and then she saw her girlfriend at the other end of the room. Smiling and Gail walked over to the middle of the roof and stopped, signaling for the doctor too walk over and she did because honestly she couldn't deny her girlfriend.
Holly was so happy to see her girl that she practically fast walked over and hugged her Gail so tightly then pulled back and said "what is going on here, babe?" the only reply she got was "it's all for you".
Gail the proceeded to pull away and walked over the table and got the microphone, "I asked you here all too ask this woman, before you here. The love of life too be….."
I look forward to all your reviews and comments, I still can't believe the amazing responses that I am receiving. What do you think is going to happen next?
