Mimi was determined to make their night out for who knew how long a
great one. She pushed her concerns to the back of her mind and left
them there to chill out. The steak dinners had been delicious and
Gustav was entertaining as always. As they finished up their shared
dessert of triple chocolate fudge cake; Mimi suggested, "Let's go
dancing... please?" Her eyes sparkled like a blue flame in the
candlelight as she waited for his reply.
Gustav wasn't much of a dancer and Mimi knew this but after a night
like this he couldn't refuse her request "If that is what you'd like
dear" he said while lightly taking Mimi's hand in his and leading her
up to the dance floor.
She beamed at him for his efforts because she knew he didn't like to
dance much. He always said it was because he wasn't very good, but at
least he didn't step on her feet and he could keep rhythm.... that's
more than many others could do. She laid her head on his shoulder and
let him sort of sway and step their way around the room to the music
of the orchestra.
As they made there way around the dance floor Gustav couldn't help but
notice the eyes that were on them both, he felt nervous as he thought
they were probably criticising his dancing but he didn't care to much
as he was there with the woman that he loved making her happy.
She sensed him tense up a bit and moved her head so that she could
place a small kiss on his neck just above the collar of his shirt.
"Sweetie, how about a walk through the arboretum instead?"
Not wanting to sound to eager t leave the dance floor all Gustav said
was "please".
Mimi couldn't help the small giggle at his response, but grabbed his
hand and lead him off the dance floor.
Once in the arboretum Gustav relaxed again, gently putting his arm
around Mimi's waist they both started walking through the greenery
taking in the flowers and other assorted plants, picking a rose from
one of the bushes that they passed Gustav handed it to Mimi, not
saying a word he leaned down and kissed her gently but passionately on
the lips.
The soft lighting of the arboretum was romantic and the fragrance from
the flowers was intoxicating. She leaned further into his embrace as
her arms came around his neck. She held the flower in one hand almost
crushing it while the fingers on her other hand played with the hair
at the nape of his neck.
After the kiss had finished Gustav looked deep into her blue eyes
Gustav said "I love you Mimi" while pulling out a box from his pocket,
he opened it to reveal a delicate diamond and gold necklace nestled in
the felt lined box.
"You... I.... its beautiful," her fingers trembled as they traced the
chain. "I don't need this," she started as she met his expectant gaze.
She brushed her fingers through the hair at his temple whispering,
"Love you."
"I know you don't need it, but I wanted to give you this before I left
for the new Chimera" Gustav said smiling at Mimi while taking the
necklace from the box.
He put the necklace on her and the diamond twinkle against the black
dress like a star in the night sky. She smiled and a tear slid down
her cheek as she stood on tip toe and brushed her lips over his.
Gustav kissed Mimi back them brushed her tear away with the back of
his finger "I don't want this night to end but I think we should be
heading back, I've an early transport to catch" he said with regret in
his voice.
Too choked up to say anything Mimi nodded and rested her head on his shoulder again as they walked back through arboretum to their quarters. She smiled enjoying the warmth of him holding her close as they went.
