137 A Sneaky Surprise (1/2)

Finally, after long hours of hard work, Ya Nuo finished cleaning her room. Her outfit was covered with lint and dust. Feeling itchy, she grabbed a change of clothes from her closet and headed for a nice shower. 'Should I check up on him? Hmmm.'

A few knocks, but no response. ”Hei?”

She entered and heard water running from his bathroom. 'He still has a few boxes left. Seems like he's showering. Heh, I'll go shower too then. Look for him after.'

After the door was completely closed, he peeked from his bathroom to make sure she was gone. He waited a few minutes, turned off the water to his Jacuzzi tub, and tip toed to her room. Quietly, he slipped into her room and left a note for her.

Then, from one of the boxes in his room, he began sprinkling heart shaped rose petals trailing from her door to the living room. Everything was done within a few minutes, and he raced up to his room to grab the last two boxes. The boxes contained candles, some of her favorite chocolate pieces, and a small jewelry box.

- 10 Minutes Later -

She got out of the shower feeling refreshed. She was wearing an oversized shirt that reached midways of her thighs, a pair of mini shorts, and lacy lingerie. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun with few strands of loose hair dangling on her shoulders. When she released the hair tie, her long hair flowed down like a waterfall with the tips of her hair slightly waved. Her cheeks were pink from the steamy shower and lips, no longer dried like before; it was colored like pink roses.

She noticed a white envelope with a rose stamp on it.

”Dedicated to my beloved, wife-to-be” it said on the cover.

Quickly, she pulled out the note with a loving smile on her face, ”If you read this far, open your door and follow the flowers. Smooch. Smooch.”

She laughed not knowing what he had planned to do. She obediently followed the instructions and opened the door. Every step of her way down to the living room, her heart skipped in a frantic rhythm; pounding with excitement. The petals were beautifully spread out, leading her to the center of their dimmed living room.

She twists and turned with curiosity on where he was hiding, ”Hei?”

Suddenly, one by one, candles lit up around her. Once the last candle lit up, her eyes widened in shock. The candles were actually mini night lights shaped like real candles. Her eyes followed each light, shaping a heart around her with bouquets of flowers sitting inside the heart for her.

Then, music began to play from the speakers. It was Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud instrumental version.
