Shock and Delightful Surprise

Chapter Two: Shock and Delightful Surprise



Nicholai turned around and looked at me in shock. He just couldn’t believe his ears or the fact that I nuzzled into him.



“How…how?”



I looked at him and smiled.



“Love knows no bounds…neither does it know grudges or slights….love is just that, love.”



He continued to stare in shock so I knew what my next course of action was. I kissed him on the lips with my tongue flitting over them, begging for entrance. He opened his mouth and out tongues battled for dominance in a graceful slow dance. We eventually came up for air and Nicholai was not in shock anymore. In fact, he was shaking with excitement and love in his eyes.



“So, you’re completely serious…well, I must do this then…”



He got down on one knee and slid a ring on my finger.



“Emerald Dracona Cardose, otherwise known as Ashley Smith, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”



I nodded, barely seeing him for the tears of joy and the head full of hair I snuggled into.



“Then you must come live with me. I live in the apartment building in West Haven. I believe your friend Xandra lives there too. Let’s go get your stuff, okay?”



We scooped up my stuff with the quickness and went to the place I now deemed home.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arrived and Nicholai turned the key, unlocking apartment 418 and pushed the door open. It was your typical apartment except for the pentagrams on every wall, standing large and in charge. The kitchen, bathroom, and living room were decent sized and to my liking. The bedroom was paradise on Earth, though.



There was a four poster bed with black velvet curtains and blood red tassels on the ends. On the bed itself, there were blood red silk sheets and pillow cases with a thick black cover. Candles were at every corner of the room. He was lighting them as I goggled in awe. He pulled me towards the bed and sat me down. I turned around and moved inwards to the middle of the bed where he was situated.



He then meditated and gently asked me to share what was on my mind. I decided not to hold back anything and told him what happened since he left and before we met. By the time he finished, tears were sliding down his face and he felt sorrow for what I had been through and seen.



“My Goddess, Emerald! I didn’t know it was that bad…I am going to make sure that that never happens again! You are loved, my beloved Emerald; never doubt that for a moment!”



The conviction in his words made tears of joy come to my eyes. I couldn’t help myself and I hugged him fiercely. Being in his arms just felt right for some reason or another.



After about an hour in his embrace, he laid us down underneath the silk sheets and covers and snuggled further until we both fell asleep, his arms around me protectively.



The last thought in my mind was, “This is where I belong…”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, I awoke to breakfast in bed. It was a lovely assortment of Danishes, fruits, sausages, and pancakes on the tray and a cup of orange juice to compliment it. Nicholai smiled at me one of those million watt smiles I have gotten used to over the past couple of hours and I smiled back. It felt great to be loved.



“What do you want to do today, Emerald? We can go to Curious Goods and pick up some stuff or we can go online and pick out a bridal dress and accessories or something completely different…your choice.”



I thought about it for a second and looked back at him.



“How about we go to Curious Wonders this morning and get some household decorations, potion ingredients, and other magickal items and then over to the country club to set up the reception and then back here to browse the web for bridal things? Sound good to you?” I looked at him with an inquisitive look.



He laughed and then nodded.



“Well, it’s a good thing then that I’m feeding you up now…You’re going to need the energy, beloved!”



We both laughed and I tucked into my food. When I was finished, I let Nicholai take away the plate and went to the armoire where I put up my clothes. I thought today should be a day to look good but practical so I got my black velvet and cotton sweater with my long black pleated skirt and ballerina flats. I then went to the bathroom and put on my velvet eyeshadow and velvet lipstick along with perfume, earrings, gel (in hair), and a protection spell. Just in case, you know?



I walked out of the door and nearly dropped my jaw in desire and surprise. Nicholai wore black cotton slacks, a green turtleneck sweater, black loafers, and gel in his hair making it slicked back. He reminded me of Draco Malfoy a little bit but I thought he looked damn sexier than that.



He laughed and hugged me all the while I was perplexed. He shook his head and looked me in the eyes.



“I’m glad you think I’m sexy but sexier than Malfoy? Really? I’m flattered, beloved…” I looked even more perplexed at that and then I remembered that I could be an empath at times and so could he. I shook my head and ended up covered in seven different protection spells all at once. I looked at him in surprise.



"Just in case, love...I was serious about protecting you."



I nodded and we walked out and headed towards Curious Wonders.
