Here's My Heart

weird mind

He was , or rather is a very eccentric guy. A little odd but not too, you  know .
Last Valentine's Day he said he was giving me his heart. I thought it was romantic and
felt we had reached a plateau in our relationship. What did I know?

His name was/is Howard. He is a mulit-millionaire. I met him at the Internet Cafe on Rawlings Street in January of 2006. It had been just a few weeks over a year that we spent our first Valentines Day together. I was very excited about this day.. he was giving me his heart but he had a business trip
and would not be home for a month so our celebration was delayed. Of course abscence makes the heart grow fonder . I could not wait till he returned. I had bought the sexiest lingeries in all colors and
new sheets. candles, the perfect music. I was ready. As I said, he was and is a bit odd and a little eccentric. I liked this about him. He was and is not your every day guy. Just a little different.

The day he was to return I was a bundle of nerves. Almost to the point of nasuea. About nine he called and said his driver had just picked  him up from the airport and he would be there shortly to give me his heart. He told me how he had missed me and how very much he loved me . I was giddy with excitement. I jumped into a tub of scented bubbles, got out and applied new make up , did my hair the way he liked it , in dog-ears,  he sometimes liked for me to call him 'Daddy'. I didn't mind .. well not too much. I put on the black negligee and waited on pins and needles.

I heard his voice as he was coming from the elevator. 'That will be all, Niles'. What a beautiful voice he has. My palms  were sweating and my heart was pounding , here he was to give me his heart! He would probably propose. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world at that moment.

He walked in asked me to help him to a chair. He looked pale and had lost wieght. The trip must have been stressful and so hard on him I was thinking. ' I am here to give you my heart, my love'.
I said I was so happy he was home and how I had missed him. He opened a suitcase and took out a
very ornate looking jar. Inside was what looked like a human heart. ' Here it is, it is all yours'.
"What is this'? 'My heart', he replied. He told me  how he had paid one of the best surgeons in the world to remove his heart and put a pig heart in it's place so he could give me his heart! 'Whaa'?
At that point I fainted.

We stayed together a year. We did get married and I still have his heart, though she has  him.
His heart is mine forever though. Ha ha .. she  did not get all of him. And I hope she can take the
grunting oinky sounds he makes here and there.

Now I think you and Ian should get together on a piece. He would love your sense of humour on this. This is a definate magazine story and darkly funny - especially the last line!
The idea that this could happen doesn't matter these days, I'm sure you can convince people this has happened. Brilliant.

[Celtic Cat]

Ha Ha Chloe, you are such a brilliant writer whom always seem to entertain us no matter what the subject matter is. This was such a perfectly funny tale, I couldn't help but to laugh.
(and couldn't have came at a better time, the day was really getting me down)
Thank you so much for brightening up my day.
It is always such a pleasure reading your work!

Wow, Chloe, I like this piece, yes it is a different piece for valentines day, but one I like..... My valentines day sucked, so reading this gave me a bit of a chuckle. You never cease to amaze me with your poems/stories you come up with. I absolutely loved this! Great piece of work!

Yes, very different. But I'm a bit upset about the death of the pig for the replacement heart. :(

Great work though. Nice twist.

[Jeanie O'brien]

funny, I like your sense of twisted humor

[Robert Luna]

What a wonderful twisted story. I loved it. Your imagination is always a treat to find laying on a page you have such a wonderful way of capturing a reader and giving them something to treasure.


Great Job!!!!!
