Life is worth living when you have a life to live for.
Christmas Eve
10:37 It’s Christmas eve already it’s all coming so fast I remember this time last year Abby was telling me she was pregnant with Joe neither of us could of for seen what would happen after that but I wouldn’t change a day.
I in a jewellery shop look for idea’s don’t know what to buy Abby for Christmas she’s so hard to buy for I mean she doesn’t really like pretty things hell I’m so in the wrong shop.
As I’m leaving I glance down at the glass cabinet and I see it I see her Christmas gift jumping out screaming for me to buy them it’s the perfect gift from me to her.
11:03 As I get to work I’m holding on to the bag guarding her Christmas present I see just the person I need to help me hide them and help until I’m ready I need to plan this right and I need her help if it’s going to work on time.
“Hey how would you feel about keeping a secret from Abby?” she looking at me like I’m stupid.
“I got over you it was a silly crush Luka I’m not sleeping with you behind Abby’s back no way I’d rather sleep with frank then face Abby.”Oh my no what have I said
“em no I mean no you me I was planning” she’s laughing.
“I’m joking Luka it was a joke what can I do for you?”If I didn’t need her I’d kill her I swear
“I need your help I’m planning something for Abby for Christmas you know and I need your help to do it I mean since you have experience in the matter” as I finish eating my own tongue I see Kim our new nurse walking over she is doing my head in she follows me around like a lap dog on heat
“hey can we go to the Lounge Neela” as we walk off Kim starts to follow
“no this is private” Neela holds the door open as I check behind me to make sure it’s clear.
“I want to ask Abby to marry me.”“Isn’t she already wearing an engagement ring Luka I thought that meant she already said yes.”Bless her she’s so English sometimes
“no i mean get married on Christmas day but I need your help to do it I mean you did it in a day so I was thinking maybe you could help me what do you say?” she’s looking at me like I’m crazy and she’s so right.
“She’s going to kill you but i need a laugh.”I know she right but I don’t care
“I know but it’s worth it.”11:59Neela and I are making our way outside were taking our lunch break together to plan I guess to everyone it must look strange taking my lunch with Neela not Abby but everyone will understand soon enough.
So were over at the coffee stand going through the to do list she has made.
“Right so we have a hall, flower, cake, food, drunk guest’s, a suit for you… oh crap what about her dress! She can’t wear scrubs you’re going to have to go get her something pretty to wear.”Is she crazy
“what no way I thought it was bad luck for me to see your going to have to go get her something” oh damn here comes Abby I stand in front of Neela while she hides the note book in her coat.
“Hi ok what have you done you both look guilty of something?”Oh my god she knows she is going to kill me I about to tell her but then Neela saves my ass from extinction for the second time.
“What us…nothing ok fine you win we are planning a surprise Christmas party for the staff but don’t be mad you are top of our list we promise.”She looks at me biting her lip.
“I can understand Luka doing it I mean it’s his ER but why you shouldn’t Albright be helping?”And of course she has another lie to feed her I shouldn’t have doubted her in the first place I mean of course she does she’s Neela.
“Albright would rather sleep with Morris then a normal man you think she would plan a Christmas party she isn’t that nice twice in one year.”01:48“Neela where have you been how long does it take to buy a damn dress” I push her into the lounge and close the blinds.
“I wanted it to be right do you want to see it’s beautiful she is going to look out of this world.”Ha I blow my hair up I really don’t need this I am crapping myself and she’s going on about a dress
“no i don't want to see it but i do need it although i do need you to hide the rings” I get them out my locker.
“Why them?”“Abby knows my number she always has its her birthday she goes inside looking for chocolate all the time even when we weren’t together she would” I pass her the rings to hide in her pocket
“ok your finished now right? Can you get Joe and dress the hall you know white ribbons flowers girly things? It doesn’t matter what it cost’s” I hand her my visa.
“I’ve never had total control of someone else’s money I could go crazy.”I laugh as I push her out the door
“she’s worth it trust me.”05:36Everyone knows about the wedding now apart from Abby and a few big mouths I have my suit on checking the last few things are in place I’m pacing up and down the lounge waiting for her.
Everyone should be at the hall by now Neela has Joe and she promised me he looks clean well for now anyway.
“Hi nice suit good looking are you waiting for me?”There she is god she’s beautiful
“Would I be waiting for anyone else” I walk over and kiss her softly
“do you trust me?” she tilts her head and nods I kiss her hand as i slip her the dress to go put on
“I have a surprise for you and I need you to put this on can you do that for me without any questions?” 06:13She looks beautiful sitting beside me Neela really should be proud of herself it fit’s perfectly were almost at the turning point into the hall and my stomach feels like it’s fell through into the car seat
“Are you ready?” I ask getting out and going around to open her side door.
“Why are we here it’s Christmas Eve Luka we have gift’s to wrap what is my surprise?”I place my finger on her lips shhing her
“No question remember” she nods and starts to walk to the door I place my hands over her eyes softly but she jumps slightly so I lean in and whisper the comforting words
“Just trust me I will never let you down.”As I open the door I uncover her eyes for her to see a beautiful white room filled with flowers and all our closest friends.
She turns around her mouth open I see a tear slide down her face she’s about to speak I hope to god she doesn’t hate me but I can’t go any longer without her not being my wife.
“Oh my……”
