Charade Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Nora woke to butterfly kisses on her shoulder. She smiled and open her eyes. It was still dark outside. She turned on her back. Bo took her hand and kissed then put next to his heart. She ran her hand through his hair. Then he got a weird look on his face.

“What?”
“Red, do you still have your wedding rings?”
Nora looked up in confusion.

“Of course I do.”
“Are they somewhere easy to get to?”

“Yes, in my jewelry box.”
“Get them.”
He kissed her and ran downstairs. Nora got up and went to her jewelry box, she opened the box. They were right there on top, she had often taken them out since the divorce. She heard Bo come back in the room. She turned, he walked over with his hand opened. Her breath caught, it was his ring. She looked up to his face. He smiled.

“I always have it on me.”
“Bo.”
“Take it and give me yours.”
She did as he asked. He kissed her and took her hand and slipped the rings on her finger.

“With this ring I thee wed.”
Nora started to cry, she took his hand trembling as she put his ring on.

“With this ring I thee wed.”
Bo put her face in his hands kissing her passionately.

“No matter what, we are husband and wife with our hearts Red. I will always love you.”
“Oh Bo, I love you so much.”

They kissed passionately. Bo guided them back into the bed. They made love for the very last time, both crying as they finished.

Nora sat on the bed watching him get dress, she let the tears freely fall. He tucked his shirt in and turned to her.

He sat next to her and nuzzled his nose with hers.

“Nora you need to promise me something.”
Her answer was a barely whispered. “What.”
He kissed the tip of nose.

“Find someone who makes you happy again.”
She cried and shook her head.

“Red, please you need a life, I. We can’t be together anymore.”
“Bo my heart and soul belong to you, it wouldn’t be fair to anyone else.” She lift her hand with the ring. “I am your wife and that is what I will remain.”
Bo sighed and kissed her.

“Ok, but please find some happiness.”
“I’ll try. But you need too also, don’t let Lindsay make your life hell. Find love with that baby of yours. Okay.”
Bo nodded. He kissed one more time. He stood, Nora pulled the sheet around her and followed him downstairs and out to his car. He pulled her to him again kissing her passionately. He pulled away.

“I should go before I end up making love to you on the lawn.”
She half laughed.
“I wouldn’t object.”
He groaned and kissed her again. Then lifting her hand and kissing her wedding rings.

“I will always love you.”
He got in his car and left. Nora wiped her tears off her face. Then slowly walked back into the house.
