Agent Finds a Warrior

I had fought against Napoleon and his tyrannical reign. I had fought in so many wars through the years.

I had killed so many.

I liked to think that I had saved more by my actions than I had killed, but I wasn't sure.

I heard the click of a door opening and all thoughts of war and the past left me, as I stepped away from the wall in speechless awe as Zora came walking towards me smiling.

Her dress was of a light violet color in-seamed with silver highlights that set off her smooth brown skin to perfection. Her black curly hair was swept up into an artful array of curls banded together by a silver coil of rope braided within her curly tresses.

Pearl earrings and a pearl necklace although simple in design were classic elegance on her. The makeup behind her eyelids built on the violet and silver color of her dress, even as silver high heels peaked out at the bottom of her dresses hem, her toes bedecked with a silver purple polish as were her fingernails.

Her eyes roamed over me admiringly as she stepped up close and drifted her hands down from my shoulders along my arms to grasp my hands. Her eyes looked into mine as she said, "Ready to take me dancing handsome?"

I really tried to say something. Something to express what I thought of her, but nothing came.

Her fingers touched my lips and her eyes looked moist as she said, "You've already said more than words could ever say with just one glimpse into your eyes." She kissed me sweetly then before looping her arm through mine, as I led her away shaken inside as to the depth of how much God had blessed me to be here right now with this woman.

All I did was stare at her as the elevator lowered to the level of the ballroom floor. The doors opened and a quiet hush fell over the people in the lobby as they gazed in awe at one of God's finest creations, who somehow I was lucky enough to be next to. I'd never felt so humbled or loved before.

In the awed silence of the ballroom lobby a little girls voice broke the silence loudly, "Is she a princess mommy?"

Zora smiled radiantly down at the awestruck little girl and I stopped and briefly knelt down beside of her. The girls shocked eyes met mine as I said, "She was a princess, but now she is my queen. Save yourself little Princess and someday bless a man by being his queen even now as I am blessed."
