SCENT OF LOVE (editing)

I take a deep breath running my hands down on my dress. The smooth expensive silk feels like water, the crimson dress hugging my waist and falling till my knees. An elegant semi-sweetheart neckline held up with ribbon straps showing off my slender shoulder and collarbone

The Christian Louboutin heels compliment my look. I still can't decide if I should wear So Kate or go with platform heels. But considering the event I should just go with these as it's more elegant.

Slightly brushing my hair I glance at my look, rethinking if it's presentable. I turn to the side, observing myself from every angle. I keep my hand on my chest trying to calm my racing heart but I am so nervous

Today is Christmas, Liam's mom held a grand celebration for this day inviting all of her close family and friends. Including me

This is the first time I will meet her face to face. Oh God, I don't wanna mess this up. Everything should go perfectly and smoothly, I don't wanna embarrass Liam by doing anything stupid because of my nervousness.

A knock on the door grabs my attention "may I come in?" Liam asks. I had to send him to another room to get ready while I use our room, I wanted to surprise him with this dress and only wanted to show him on the day. He was a bit grumpy about the fact I was hiding this dress

"Yeah, I am ready" I say looking into the mirror. The door slowly opens and Liam peeps inside, his eyes goes forward looking for me but the mirror is to the left side of the door so he didn't notice me yet. I clear my throat to grab his attention, his head snaps in my direction and a smile forms on his face. He steps inside the room walking towards me

I take in his attire. His impressive figure in that sleek and chic black suit, the tailoring enhancing his tall and toned frame. The crimson tie in his neck which matches my dress is a vibrant texture against the black attire.

He is too much for me to handle

I snuck in my breath for a second looking at him, that small smile on his face making me forget about my anxiousness.

"I think I am God's favorite person" He says, stepping closer to me. I keep my hands behind my back "oh really, why do you think so?" I ask

He sighs softly and wraps his arm arm around my waist pulling me towards his chest "Because he has blessed me with his most beautiful creation" Liam whispers in a smooth voice

I chuckle, placing my hand on his shoulder caressing the soft material "how do you never fail to give me the best compliments" I say, in a low whisper. Liam shrugs his shoulders and presses his forehead against mine "it just happens naturally when you are with me" he replies

For a few seconds we remain in the same position, looking into each other's eyes. Liam takes my hand in his and rubs my knuckles "Nervous because you are meeting your role model?" He asks

I smile, shaking my head, I place my hand on his cheek "Nervous because I am meeting my boyfriend's mother" I reply. If I was going to meet Emily Carter as my role model today I would be excited instead but this is different, I am meeting his family "what if she doesn't like me?"
