Lost and found Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Nora couldn’t believe how much her life had changed in a course of one month. Her soul mate had not only returned, but he had forgiven her.  She was loving watching Bo and Matthew growing a very strong friendship and adoration for each other. She and Matthew finally talked Bo into staying at their house, not that it took much. He had been staying in the guest room for the past two weeks. It was so wonderful having him with her always.  They had been doing dates, all three of them doing things together. Matthew was going to be with friend tonight, it would be the first time Bo and Nora had a real date with just the two of them. She was exceptionally nervous.

“MOM!”
“What honey?”
“Have you seen my shoes?”
She sighed and shook her head.

“Have you looked in the closet.”
Nora could hear little feet running toward the front closet.

“FOUND THEM!”

“You better get them on and get in here and get your bag, it almost time to go.”
“Ok mom.”
“Wow Red.”
Nora turned and smiled at Bo who was looking her up and down. She looked at him.

“You look pretty good too Buchanan.”
Bo smiled and took her hand and pulled her close for a kiss.

“I am so excited to get you all to myself tonight Red.”
She put her arms around his neck.

“Oh really? Why? What do think getting me alone going to do?”
“Well umm, more of an adult conversation of course.”
“Right adult conversation.”
“Mommy I am ready.”

Nora and Bo let go of each other as Matthew walked in.

“Mommy you look really pretty.”
She smiled and kissed the top of his head.

“Thank you sweetie, you sure you have everything?”
“Yes.”
“Ok, let’s get this show on the road.”

Bo picked Matthew up and guided her towards the door.

Nora and Bo sat across from each other. The conversation flowed perfectly, but every once and while Nora felt like she was 16 again sitting across the first boy she had ever agreed to date. Her stomach would flutter and she’d feel herself blush. It was a strange feel, after all she had known this man for years and been married to him for years. This past month had been them relearning everything about each other and this was the first time they didn’t have a three year old as a buffer.

“Nora?”
“Yes?”
“Lets get out of here?”
She smiled as he stood and put his hand out to her. As they got to the valet, Bo put his arm around her waist and pulled her close.

“Red, tonight has been wonderful.”
“Yes it has, I am happy we had this night finally.”
“You know, I love Matthew, but I it is nice having you all to myself.”
Nora hand caressed his face. They valet pulled the car up.

“Me too.”
Nora went to get the keys, but Bo reached out and grabbed them. She went to protest.

“Let me drive Red.”
“Getting all manly on me Buchanan?”
Bo rolled his eyes.

“Just let me do this honey.”
“Ok ok.”
They kissed and headed to the car.

They talked on their way home. Suddenly Bo took a wrong turn.

“Bo, you took a wrong turn.”

“No I didn’t.”
“Bo, I think I know the way to my own house.”
“Red, trust me.”
She looked him suspiciously.

“What you up to Bo?”
He smiled, but didn’t say a word. Nora sighed but smiled. She just sat back and waited for what was to come. Bo suddenly turned off to a very secluded area, the road seemed to go on forever. Finally she saw something. It appeared to be a small pavilion, it was light up with little lights. Bo finally stopped. He got out then opened her door offering her his hand. She took it as she got out.

“Bo what is this?”
“Well I really wanted to take you dancing, but I wanted it to be romantic and intimate. So I rented this place out?”
Nora looked it was beautifully decorated, very romantic.

“When did you have time for this?”
“I actually hired someone.”
“It’s beautiful.”
Bo smiled and walked over to the small radio and turned it on. Nora felt her smile widened as oldies filled the air. Bo put his hand out.

“May I have this dance?”
She took his hand, he pulled her to him tight. They danced to the rhythm as they held each other close. It was perfect.

“Red, I’ve been thinking about something. You don’t have to answer right now, but I want to ask you something.”
Nora pulled back to look him in face, his look made her feel very nervous.

“What is it Bo?”

“Nora, I want to marry you again. I know it’s only been a few weeks, but I want you forever, I want Matthew forever.”
Nora stopped dancing, she was shocked it was the last thing she had expected from him.

“Like I said, you don’t have to answer this now or even a month from now, I just want you to know, when you are ready I am ready and would be so happy to be your husband again.”
Nora wrapped her arms around him and pulled his into a hard and passionate kiss. When they parted, she could feel tears falling.

“Yes, Bo I would love to be your wife again, I will marry you.”
Bo smiled and picked her up twirling her around. He kissed her again. Soon it became extremely passionate. Bo pulled back.

“Thank you Red, lets head home and celebrate.”
