A Striking Unrealized Truth Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Bo woke up. The first thing he did was reach for his love. His eyes opened when he felt nothing. He look around. Where did she go? Then he heard someone in the bathroom, he smiled and waited for her to come out. He kept his eyes on the bathroom door as she opened it. He felt his breathing increase when he realized she didn’t have a stitch of clothing on. She looked at him and smiled.

“You’re up!”
“In more ways than one.”
She giggled and walked over to the bed. She crawled back in the bed and into his arms. He held her tight and kissed her temple.

“Red last night..that was the most intense and amazing love making I’ve ever experienced.”
Nora caressed his chest, he sighed as her lips followed her hands with tiny kisses. She then lifted her kissing his jaw then his ear.

“It was for me too Bo, no man has ever made me feel like that, not even close.”
Bo took her hand and kissed it gently.

“God I love you.”
Nora nuzzled his face.

“I love you so much Bo. I am so excited for the life we are starting together.”
Bo smiled and looked down at her.

“Me too. Red. I want to get married.”
Nora sat up.

“Bo, we just had our first date!”

He grinned and sat up too. He pulled her to him and kissed her passionately.

“Technically yes, but Red remember what I said last night?”
“You mean we have been dating for over a year.”
“Yes, come on Red. You know me better than I know myself. Red, I know you better than anyone. So what do you say? Be my wife?”
Nora took a deep breath.

“Yes.” Bo kissed her in excitement, but Nora gently pushed him away. “BUT.” Bo felt his face fall. “I don’t want to rush this wedding. I want a properly planned wedding, no elopment no rushing and planning in two months. I want to wait a year and do this right.”
Bo’s heart started to beat again he sighed in relief.

“Red I am more than happy to wait so we can properly plan this wedding.”
Nora gave him a serious look.

“What?”
“Bo this mean kids are off the table until we do get married. I don’t want us to end up pregnant and having me walk down the aisle when I am 7 months pregnant.”
Bo smiled at the visual that created in his head.

“You’d be beautiful.”
Nora swatted him.

“Bo! I am mean it.”
“Okay okay, I won’t bring up kids until we are almost married. After all you could walk down the aisle at three months and nobody would be able to tell.”
Nora rolled her eyes, but she kissed him. Bo moaned as Nora pushed him down on the bed and straddled his body.

“Wait Red!”
Nora sat up and looked him confused. Bo grabbed her hips and moved her off him.

“Just one second.”
Bo walked over to their discarded clothes.

“Where is my jacket?”
“I think it is downstairs.”
He groaned in annoyance. He ran downstairs and found his jacket. He quickly made his way back up.

“Bo what are doing?”
Bo dug into the inner pocket and pulled out what he was looking for, her heard Nora gasp.

“Bo! Is that?”
Bo opened the small box with the ring he had been carrying with him since he first told Nora he loved her. He walked over to the bed and pulled the ring out of the box. He lifted her hand and put the ring on her finger. It look perfect on her finger, like it had always meant to be there.

“It beautiful. Oh my God. Bo is this?”
He smiled and kissed her.

“Yeah, it my grandmothers ring, Pa gave it to me when Sarah and I were getting a divorce.”
Nora face looked at him in confusion. He nervously laughed.

“He uh, he wanted me to give to you, seemed he realized you and I were meant to be well before either one of us did.”
Nora smiled brilliantly.

“Asa wants us together? Really?”
Bo shrugged.

“He loves you too Red.”
“He didn’t use to.”
Bo couldn’t help but laugh.

“You grew on him. You seemed to have that effect on Buchanan men.” Bo kissed and pushed her down on the bed. “Now where were we?”
