“Ali! You ready honey?” I yelled loudly towards my girlfriend upstairs, who was taking quite some time getting ready. “Yeah, yeah, I’ll be there okay?” She giggled and I listened to her shuffle around our room. I looked down at the expensive black and gold watch around my wrist, smiling. She always loved to take extra care in looking the way she does, and I appreciate that. She insisted that I wear the crisp navy blue suit she bought me for tonight. We’re supposed to be having dinner with my parents so they can meet Ali. I can tell she’s still nervous but I know they’ll love her. She’s so gorgeous it drives me nuts that she never notices how people stop and look at her. Her radiance literally brings life to any room, and her laugh is always so joyous. “Baby, I’m ready.” I stopped daydreaming and turned to look at her.
