NICK

I am standing alone in a room that I do not know in Kim's mom's house. I am so worked up from being aroused by her touch and now I have to go back to meet with her mom. It is clear that my wife-to-be enjoys teasing me and I can not help but smile as I stare at the door that she just closed in my face.

She knows exactly what she is doing to me and I will definitely repay the favor. I have to spend some time in this room now because otherwise, her mother will notice that things are not all right in my pants.

I decide to make use of this opportunity to make a phone call. I dial the number and then he answers.

"Detective Marks here. How can I help you, Master Chief?"

"I am so glad you asked me that question but first how are you doing?"

Detective Marks has been keeping me up-to-date with the proceedings against Anton and we have become somewhat of friends.

"I am good and you?"

"I am also good. I wonder if you would like to earn some more cash?"

"You know that I am always up for that. Who do you want me to nail?"

"His name is, Pat Charles Roberts. I need you to find all the dirt that you can on this guy to put him away for a long long time"

I can hear him clearing his throat on the other side of the phone and then he says.

"You know...I did a history on you when Anton fooled me, right? So, I know this is your father and you want me to get dirt on him?"

I take a deep breath and then say with all certainty.

"Yes, I need to get this man behind bars"

"Are you sure you are not just trying to trick me to see if I will turn against you?"

I can not help but laugh at him and then I say.

"I am very sure that this is what I want"

"Okay, man. But just remember things can get real bad"

I know that he is just trying to protect me in some way. But I am very sure of what I want.

"I know and I need things to be bad so that we can get that scumbag behind bars"

"Alright, I will get that information to you as soon as possible"

"Thank you. I really appreciate it"

"Please don't mention it"

We say goodbye and then I am more than a hundred percent sure that my pants are now available to view. I make my way to the living room and I see Kim and her mom chatting a storm away about the engagement party.

Then Kim sees me and her eyes quickly wander down to my pants and I can not help but smile at her. Then her mom sees me and says.

"Why don't you join us over here on the couch? We have a lot to talk about"

Suddenly, I realize that I have forgotten something very important. Then I turn to her mother and say.

"I am sorry, ma'am but I have an errand to run. Can I possibly take a rain check?"

I watch as Kim frown at me but she keeps quiet.

"Of course. Go do what you need to do"

I walk over to Kim and give her a kiss on the cheek and then I walk out the door to the car.

KIM

As Nick finally arrives after about fifteen minutes I can not help as my eyes are looking for my handiwork but I am slightly disappointed to find everything is back to normal. It seems that he has a way to get it down as fast as he can get it up.

But what I wonder about the most is where he could possibly go and why he did not share it with me. I thought I knew him pretty well but this is a mystery to me. I feel his lips against my cheek and then he disappears out of sight. I feel empty without him as he has become somewhat of my safety net in life.

Then I turn to my mom and she is more than just excited about this party. I know that my mom always loved organizing parties and I must admit that this party, in particular, I am going to enjoy. She managed to invite quite a few people from our extended family and they are all very willing to come and join the party.

NICK

I can not believe how I could have missed the most important part of an engagement, the ring. All I know is that Kim deserves the best. I make my way to the nearest jewelry store and I can not help but wish that I have thought about this earlier on when we were in the city. But nevertheless, I will see to it that I get the best ring that the store has to offer.

I have an idea of what Kim might like and I can only wish that she will love it. As I open the door to the shop, I start to browse through the different rings and then the perfect one catches my eye. It is not too flashy but unique in its own form.

I want to make sure that the diamond is worth her value and the sapphires will represent her wisdom and our faithfulness to each other. I have seen some of her earrings and they are always a silver color so the white gold will fit perfectly with her.

I get the jeweler's attention and then point to the ring. He gives me his price and I pay it with a happy heart for she is worth every penny that I will spend on her. He put the ring for me in a little black box and then I make my way back to her mom's house.

KIM

I am still busy talking to my mom when Nick finally comes back. He walks through the door and he only looks at me. It is as if he is on some kind of a mission and he only stops when he is right next to me. Then he turns to my mom and says.

"I am so sorry, ma'am but I really need to speak to Kim. Can I possibly steal her away for a minute?"

I see my mom almost enjoying the fact that he wants to take me away for a minute and then say.

"I have something to do in the study anyway. So, please take your time"

He nods his head and then takes my hand. He leads us out of the house and into the car without saying a word. Then he starts the car and drives away, still not saying anything.

"Where are we going?"

I see him looking at me only smiling but not making one squeak.

"Nick, you are starting to scare me. What are you doing?"

Then I see him turning into the lake nearby. He stops before the pier. He then gets out of the car and walks to open my door. He takes my hand and then we walk on the pier to the very end.

There is no one around us and we can see the sun setting on the water. He takes both my hands and then turns to look at me.

"I know that you are probably wondering what this is about but I wanted to make this special for you. As you know I am not a man of many words so, I decided to put my pen to paper. Maybe...this way you can know what I feel for you and what I want you to know"

Then he hands me a piece of paper and I can see his hand is shaking. I take it from him and read.

- I promise...

To take time for you and pursue you passionately, and I promise to love you compassionately.

I do seek to understand your needs so deeply, and I promise each day to love you so completely.

I will provide a home of love and emotional purity, and I promise love, laughter, honesty, and a life where you feel secure.

I will make time for you, for without you I have no time, and I promise you to cherish, honor, respect, admire and be kind.

Time may take us down a path where you need to be taken care of, and I promise to hold you and continue to admire you with love.

If life places pain in your heart, I will be there to fill it with love.

I will awaken each day to see your sweet smile and feel your touch, and I promise to bring you happiness and laughter; I love you so much.

I will be there for you each day of my life.

I give you my heart; I love you doc, can't you see? And I promise to be very attentive and caring indeed.

I have run for miles swearing my love to you for life and I promise to honor you, my beautiful Kim.

I love you... -

Then I see him going down on one knee and opening a beautiful black box which reveals the perfect ring.

"Kim McPherson, will you honor me in being my wife?"
