Bryan's POV:
The dreams have been intense. I've watched Nora grow more and more happy as the days went by. She has gotten more impatient for my return and I'm happy to know that she cares deeply for me. She has gone from the reserved young woman I met to a lusty, passionate vixen. She smothers me with kisses any opportunity she gets and teases me endlessly. Like her, I haven't quite felt so alive for a while. I still saw some sadness peaking through the happiness and I know she still mourns for her parents but it looks like during the times we meet in her dreams, she makes it her priority to focus all her attention to me and happiness radiates from her in waves. When the time comes to part each night, I see grief creep back up into her expressions. I wish for nothing more than to be there for her physically as much as possible.
I've wished for this so much that I have been working extra hard behind the scenes to make my move to her as quick and seamless as possible. I purchased the property I had been looking into and had someone come in to make it move in ready. I spoke with her boss about the money she was owing on behalf of her parents and cleared that debt. All the business deals had been sealed and all that was left was for me to physically move the last aspects of the business there. Alleyne would be graduating soon and it would serve as the perfect surprise for her. What's more, I had two offers for her. One involved my grandmother's diamond engagement ring and wedding band set which I had ha cleaned and resized for her. If she said yes to me I would pass them on to her as I had promised my grandmother I would. the other offer involved a position which had opened up with my company due to the move. Sure, the main branch would be moved but the existing branch would remain open so I had to hire a few new employees for the new main branch. It would give Alleyne the perfect opportunity to learn more about my companies and help me with them.
Keeping these two offers from her had been hard but definitely worth the wait. She would know soon enough.
Nora's POV:
My graduation day had come. I felt the pressure of all the past years leaving me as I finally came to the end of this chapter in my life. I had struggled to make it this far but now that I had finished, it felt great. I had made the honors list and couldn't contain my excitement to go out there in my gown and accept my awards on stage. Myself and the other graduates were behind the curtains listening for our names to be called to walk on stage. I was sad that my parents were not around to witness this, or rather they were not around to hear about it. That frown was swapped for a smile as my name was called and I walked on stage to see a little 'Nora group' in the front seats with flowers, balloons and acongratulations banner, clapping and cheering wildly for me. I couldn't keep a few tears from sliding down my cheeks. There in the audience were Bryan, Sarah, my boss from the cafe, my coworkers from the cafe, and a few friends I had made along the way. Their cheers gre even louder when it was time to collect my awards and I had to motion to Bryan to come and help me with my awards because they were more than my two hands could manage. He gladly took the awards but passed them on to Sarah and my boss and did the unexpected. He took the mic, got down on one knee, and asked "Nora, my dearest Alleyne, will you make me the happiest man here today by marrying me?" I was shocked for a few seconds but quickly regained my composure and pulled him into a hug, mumurring yesses in between sobs. This had definitely turned out to be one of the most memorable days of my life.
One year later on a balcony somewhere, Nora sits and reminisces...
My graduation day had been amazing. After the graduation ceremony Bryan took us all to celebrate at his home (what later turned out to be our home). There were a whole group of people there. More people I knew and his business associates. We wined and dined into the wee hours of the morning until the guests had all left. We headed up to the master bedroom where Bryan prepared a warm bath for me to soak in and pampered me to my heart's content. He carried me to bed that night and decided to 'remind me of what we had shared during our dreams.'he was the perfect gentleman only prodding the places he knew I liked and tenderly kissing, licking and nibbling others. It was a sweet torture. he had waited long for me but decided to wait longer. He would not ravage me until we were married.
It was only one month before we married and only one month before we fully moved in with each other. We had a beautiful, intimate ceremony with our closest friends and relatives. It was an all white affair in a rose garden not far from our home. For vacation we had opted to go to pretend to head off to a hotel when in reality, had circled back and headed home. Our room had been decorated for us by a professional and upgraded to include some items to enhance our fun that night. Bryan was very gentle with me until I could handle more . We filled the night with our moans of ecstacy and filled the morning with light laughter. The following morning after our first night together, Bryan offered me the position of Assistant Supervisor of Production at his company and showed me the other businesses he was involved in. I can happily say that it worked out well for me as I not only had my own income but I was able to be of help to the man who had supported me emotionally when I needed it most. We grew to appreciate each other more and things between us only got better with time.
THE END
