Viktor lifted his head, stared straight into my eyes, and said: "Glory, I want to buy a business for you, one that is exactly what you have always wanted. I am not doing this for you to try and gain points with you, or hoping that you will have sex with me because of what I am doing for you. I hope that one day you will be my wife," I interrupted him and said: "I Accept!"

Viktor's eyes opened wide as he asked: "Baby, did you just agree to marry me?" I laughed and said: "Yes, Lover Boy, not now of course, but in a year or two, I would be perfectly willing to become Mrs. Anderson!" I thought Viktor was going to jump up and start dancing, but he kept control of himself. Then he said: "In that case Miss Christensen, you can consider this a formal proposal. There is nothing I want more than to have you for my wife. Will you marry me?"

I started laughing and crying at the same time as I tried to say: "And you Mr. Anderson, can consider this a formal acceptance! Because there is nothing I want more than to be your wife. Yes Viktor, I will marry you." Then Viktor got up and walked around the table and knelt down in front of me. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little box. When he opened it, he took out a beautiful engagement ring with more diamonds than I had in my jewelry box, and slipped it on my right ring finger.

Before he stood up, Viktor said: "You, Mrs. Anderson, are the one true love of my life. I have never loved a woman before you, and I will never love another. I will be true to you, and you alone forever. There will not be any prenuptial agreement, everything I own is yours forever. And now that you have made me the happiest man on Earth, tell me what it is that you really want, and it is yours. If I dont have it, I will find a way to get it for you!" I said: "I really don't like having you kneeling down before me, as if I were Queen Glory. Before we go on, get up and pull your chair around, I would rather have you sitting here beside me. If I am going to be your Queen, than you are going to be my King!" When Viktor was sitting beside me, and we had a fresh cup of coffee, I said: "Okay, Lover Boy, the one thing I want in this crazy world is You! It seems we are in much the same place, I have never loved a man before, and now that I've met you, I don't think it is possible for me to love another. If you can forget that I was raped, you are the only man who has ever made love to me. You would never have been allowed to make love to me, if I had not been sure that one day you would be my husband!"

"Honey, the 'Cafe Love' is really enough for me and he girls, but if you must do something, why not just open a new cafe that is a little bigger? I would like to have a complete line of coffees, teas, pastries and pies. And I would like to give it more of a true 'love theme', with private booths instead of tables."

Viktor kept nodding his head as I discribed the cafe. When I finished, he said: "I see, I think I understand what it is you are looking for. We should be able to find a building, remodel it and have your Grand Opening before summer!" He looked so happy, the loneliness and sadness, that I could see and feel in him when we first met were gone. With Viktor in my life, my own loneliness was long gone too. I was truly a happy woman for the first time in my life.

I said: "Viktor, I have been here all day, I like my cafe, but I would rather be alone with you. Can we go someplace else where we can be alone?" There was a twinkle in Viktor's eyes, that said he must be feeelng the same way. He said: Sure Baby, where would you like to go?" I said: "My apartment is not far from here, she's small, but I don't think we will be needing much room. I have a place for visitors to park, your car will be safe there."

As we stood up, I said: "Honey, before we leave, I just thought of something. Unless I close the cafe, at least two of the girls are going to have to miss out tomorrow night, and I really don't want to close the cafe on a Friday night!" Viktor took me in his arms and asked: "Will you close the cafe so all of the girls can come if I pay the money you would normally bring in on a Friday night?" I said: "Okay Honey, it is only one night, you don't have to pay for it. One night won't break the cafe, and it is worth it! How about eight o'clock?" He said: "Sounds good to me. That should give everyone time to get ready." So I went over to Susan an asked: "Will you call the girls and have them be here at eight p.m. tomorrow?" She answered: "Sure Glory, I'll see you tomorrow."

Then Viktor and I left, Viktor drove his own car and followed me to my apartment and parked beside me. We went in and Viktor sat on the couch while I put on some soft music and bought back a small glass of Irish Cream for each of us. I said: "Hope you dont mind Irish Cream, it is all I have tonight. I keep some on hand for my coffee." He replied: "It will be fine, I enjoy some good cream liqueur now and then. Now come and sit down, I want some 'Sugar' with my cream!" As I sat beside him, I softly said: "I wish we had a fireplace and a warm fire to sit in front of, like we did in your house."

I didn't even have to say anything this time, Viktor knew what I wanted. He wrapped his arms around me and began to kiss me, after a while I said: "Okay Honey, I've had about all I can take of this!" When I had pulled myself free , I took his hand and led him into my bedroom, and said: "Now Viktor, my Love, I want all of you!" I started to undress, but Viktor said: "Let me do that Baby," and he began to slowly and gently undress me, one piece at a time. When he had me completely naked, he stepped back and stared at me for a while as he undressed. He said: "Glo, you are so beautiful, I am glad that you waited for me. It is a great honor to know that I am the only man to have seen you like this, to know that I never had to share you with any man. I know this may sound crazy, but it is true. Glory, you are the only woman I have ever made love to!"

Then we made love, after a while of enjoying each other, we fell asleep still naked and wrapped in each other's arms. In the morning when we got up, Viktor quickly showered, shaved and dressed. As he was leaving Viktor said: "I'll see you tonight around seven p.m. Baby."

After he was gone, I showered and dressed, making sure Viktor's pin was in place and packed an evening dress and my jewelry for tonight, and left for the cafe. I was a little early and Karen had not arrived yet, so I opened up and had the coffee made before she arrived.
