Beau sighed and said to Marigold, "I-I think y-you l-look… Okay." Marigold looked down saying, "Thanks Beau." Marigold held her arm with one hand and gripped her dress with the other. Beau looked at her and sighed. "My boy, where are you," a man's voice called. Nathaniel walked into Marigold's room saying, "Ah, there you are. I've been looking all over for you, we have business to take care of." Nathaniel glanced over at Marigold, seeing her all dressed up, and said, "Oh aren't you a sight for sore eyes Marigold. My boy she's pretty isn't she?" Beau swallowed his breath and said, "S-She's o-okay, I-I mean s-she l-looks okay." Nathaniel said, "Looks okay? She's a gem! How do you not see it? She looks beautiful! My boy, what has gotten into you? How can you say she just looks okay? You…" Angela interrupted Nathaniel saying, "You know what, why don't we give Beau some privacy with his wife, huh? Me and Marigold made some pasta for you to try my love, so why don't we go to the kitchen and
Marigold looked at Beau as he put his arm out towards her. She chuckled, grabbed his arm, and they left the room. He escorted her to the front door while she thought, 'He's so strong… I never noticed that about him before and he's quite the gentleman. I never noticed how gentle he is.' She stood in front of the front door and he opened it, saying, "A lady should always be treated like a queen." She smiled at him, while she left the home, and he followed behind her, closing the door behind himself. She stood on the porch and he said, "Wait here, I'll pull the car around." He walked down from the porch, around the house, to his car, while she stood there watching him and thinking, 'He's really a sweetheart… More of a sweetheart than I thought he was.' VROOOM He pulled his car in front of the house, got out of the driver's seat, and opened the front passenger’s side door, saying, "Come Miss Marigold, our dinner awaits." She walked down from the porch, got inside the car, he closed her
Justly quickly walked over to the table where Marigold and Beau sat holding a glass pitcher of water and to rectangular glasses in her hands. She set the glasses before them, filling each one up with water, while saying, "We're almost done cooking your meals." Beau said, "Honestly Justly take your time, we can wait for you." Justly said, "Ah Beau you're too kind. I just want to make sure everything comes out in a timely fashion. Someone of your stature shouldn't have to wait long periods of time for food." Beau said, "It's really okay. You guys work so hard, you work hard Justly. We can wait." Justly said, "You're too sweet Beau." She looked at Marigold and said, "So how long have you two been together?" Marigold gripped her dress and she (Marigold) said, "For a little over a month." Justly said, "That long and Beau hasn't driven you crazy yet? I'm shocked." Marigold chuckled and Beau said, "I don't drive people crazy." Justly said, "Yes you do, you drive me crazy everytime you come i
Marigold and Beau left the restaurant, went over to Beau's car, got inside, buckled their seatbelts, and Beau drove off. Marigold looked over at Beau, watching him drive, and thinking 'Why is he so sweet to me? After everything he should be hating me right now but he's not. He's been gentle and sweet even after everything I've said and done. Why is he so nice to me? I can't read him at all…" Beau glanced over at her, seeing her quickly turn away, and he said, "Ah, I was wondering why it was becoming so hard for me to drive. Your beautiful eyes were looking at me and making me distracted." She scoffed, saying, "My eyes weren't looking at you but even if they were, how would you know? You're focused on the road." He smiled and said, "Because they are one of my weaknesses." She said, "You're a sweet talker I see." He laughed and said, "Me a sweet talker? Never." She said, "You're so much of a sweet talker I can feel my blood sugar go up. Keep talking and I'll need a doctor." He chuckled
The rest of the car ride was silent. Beau drove all the way back to his home, parked his car on the side of the house, looked over at Marigold, and said, "Hey, we're here." She continued sleeping and he smiled at her. He got out of the car, walked over to her side, opened the door, unbuckled her seatbelt, and carried her in his arms, closing the car door behind him. He carried her inside, all the way to her room, and tucked her into bed without waking her.He left her room into the hallway, closing the door behind him, and saw Carls standing there. Carls said, "Long night Master Beau." Beau smiled and said, "One of the best nights I've ever had. To see her smile and enjoy herself… I saw her in a way that I haven't been able to see her in for a while." Carls said, "I'm glad to see you two getting along and I'm glad Miss Marigold enjoyed herself." Beau said, "Carls I want to do something for her, something big." Carls asked, "What do you have in mind, Master Beau?" Beau answered, "Well
Beau and Marigold stood outside by his car. He opened the front passenger’s side door and said, "Alright my princess. Let's get going." She got into the car as he closed the door behind her. He got into the driver's side, turned on the car, and drove off leaving The Bax Residency into the open road.20 minutes passed and he glanced over at her, seeing her looking out her window. He thought to himself, 'She looks so beautiful it's making me nervous. I can't even speak to her, I'm so nervous. I feel like if I say something to her I'm going to sound like an idiot from being tongue tied. Why is it so hard to talk to her? She's just so beautiful. Alright Beau, say something to her. Compliment her, make conversations, say anything. Just speak to her.' He gripped his steering wheel as his cheeks turned red and she looked over at him, asking, "Are you alright Beau?" He sighed and answered, "Yeah I'm fine…" She said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a tomato." He said, "Yep I'm okay… I jus
Marigold looked at Beau and said, "You want me to go to Paris with you for a week?" Beau nodded, saying, "Yes, I would like for you to come with me." She said, "I don't know the first thing about Paris. I don't even know how to speak French, I've never been outside the country let alone the state." He smiled, saying, "Well there's a first time for everything." She looked down, saying, "I don't know Beau, I've never traveled that far before." He said, "Marigold, I think it's time you live life. You've said it yourself, you want to travel but haven't gotten the opportunity to do so. Well now is your chance to actually do something you want to do. Start doing things that will make you happy." She looked at him, thinking, 'He's right. My dad never let me leave his side. I always had to take care of everyone else but myself. I never got a chance to live my own life and travel like I wanted to. This opportunity to leave the country… It's intimidating but I want to do it, I need to do it.' He
Marigold continued holding on to Beau's arm, tightly. Beau thought to himself, 'She's holding my arm… She's actually holding my arm… I'm so happy and nervous all at the same time.' He glanced down at her, seeing her face buried into his chest. He thought, 'I want to stay like this forever. To have her close to me, to be close to her. I want her to stay by my side, I want to stay by her side for the rest of my life. She's a dream come true, my princess.' She felt his arm, feeling his muscles, and she thought, 'He's so strong… And when I'm near him I feel so safe… Like there's nothing in the world that could ever hurt me. I wish we could stay like this forever. He's so sweet, so handsome, so amazing… I've never met anyone like him… He's really something different, a Blessing. I can't focus when he's around me… I can't stop thinking about him, he's always on my mind. No matter what.' She moved her head, laying the side of her head on the side of his shoulder, and she thought, 'If only we
