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.

[Jenny Davis]

LOL! I didn't expect that ending...so cool and sad in the same way! You are such a unique star, hun...I enjoyed this and hope this Valentine's Day was a good one for you :)

[mattavelli]

haha
This is very morbid and I like it.
He's every girl's dream hu? :)
have fun.

[Captain Blackheart (The..]

OH....What an ending, I had a suspicion he was going to give his heart litterally but then to leave you for someone else....Well at least the other person can't have everything!!

[poddar kushal]

this abstract bit of piece is fine.i find it....ahem, kinky and pletonic at the same time.

I liked this a lot - but I have a weird mind as well lol. I would make one suggestion - instead of using the direct line "he said he was going to give me his heart" I would make an indirect statement like "he said his heart would be mine forever today" - not that but something like it. The direct statement took me directly to the ending (well, not the pigs heart part but the actually giving her the heart part lol). I rather knew that was coming. I might flesh out the ending a bit as well...perhaps a little detail in their time together - how he began making the oinking noises - then the ultimate break-up. just my opinion. nicely done.

Very illusion with interest and imagery. Held my attention and was well thought of in terms. I love your twists you pen so well.

Sniff Sniff--I smell bacon! lol. I was reading and waiting with anticipation--what a good story! You had me going. I enjoy/ed your Valentine tale.

[Blackbirdsong]

LOL gave you his heart

I love this quirky tale though I wonder who the "she" at the end refers too. All in all I love this...you certainly do have an interesting imagination, but you also have the skill to make a good story out of it :)

So very unique, and weird with a little humor. I love it. As always you did a great job writing this. Wonderful.
