It had been a month since I moved into Gabriel’s townhome and life for me was perfect. I finally met his mother, who had just gotten back from Europe, where she had been traveling for the past six months. I liked her and she seemed to like me too. Caleb’s music career took off when his song hit #5 on the music charts. In a few weeks, he would be going on tour, being the opening band for Matchbox Twenty. Lady was growing so fast and Gabriel and I were completely in love with her.
I slipped into a short, red, form-fitting dress that sat off the shoulders for a special dinner Gabriel had planned for us.
“You look beautiful,” he spoke as he walked up behind me and pressed his lips against my neck.
“Thank you.” I smiled.
“I picked up a little something for you today.” He pulled a small red box from his suit pocket and handed it to me.
Opening the lid, I gasped when I saw the beautiful princess cut diamond earrings sitting there.
“Gabriel, they’re beautiful. You shouldn’t have. What is this for?”
“Yes, I should have, and they’re just a reminder of how much I love you and how beautiful you are.”
I started to fan my eyes to keep the tears from falling.
“Thank you. I love you so much.” I threw my arms around his neck and kissed his lips.
“You’re welcome. Are you almost ready? Our reservations are for seven.”
“Yes. I just have to put these earrings in and then we can go.” I smiled.
We arrived at his hotel and I looked at him in confusion.
“We’re eating at your hotel?” I asked.
“Yes.” He smiled as he grabbed my hand and led me inside.
We stepped into Cornelia, the upscale restaurant in the hotel that was named after his mother. I looked around, for we were the only two people in the place.
“Good evening, Mr. Quinn. I’ll show you to your table.”
“Good evening, Frank.”
“Gabriel, I’m confused. Why is nobody here?” I asked as I took a seat.
“I closed the restaurant down for tonight for a very special celebration.”
“What are we celebrating?”
“Him.” Gabriel held out his hand.
I looked behind me and saw my father standing there, dressed in a black suit.
“Hello, baby girl.” He smiled.
Throwing my hands over my mouth, I looked at Gabriel, who stood there with a smile on his face. I got up from my seat and ran over to my father, throwing my arms around him and hugging him tight.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Why don’t you ask Gabriel?”
I turned and looked at him, and suddenly, tears filled my eyes when I realized what he had done.
“Don’t cry, baby,” he spoke as he walked over to me and wiped the tears from my face.
“I can’t believe you did this.”
