Fresh out of high school and newly single, Alice was excited to finally work at her parents' business. Everything was perfect in her life or as she thought it was. Alice was asked to close the office early because her parents are having "special gu...
The honeymoon was almost over. I am not excited that I am leaving this place but I am excited to see my friends and family back home. I was laying on the bed warm and comfortable.the sun was just about to rise. I slipped out and pulled over a sweater and took a blanket with me. I walked out to the balcony and sat in a chair. I slipped my hands in my pockets and found sunglasses and slid them on top of my head. The streets had a couple of people making it into the city. The sky was blue with no clouds in sight. It was a beautiful start to the day. I could get used to this. All I needed right now was a cup of coffee and a croissant. Soon enough the balcony door creaked open behind me. I loudly signed. I put on my sunglasses over my eyes not wanting to see James's face. After last night and how much of a dick he sounded I didn't want to talk to him at all.
"Breakfast for Mademoiselle?" He tried to say it in a French accent while carrying an assortments of breakfast items. I didn't say anything to him. I know it is a little childish giving him the silent treatment but I do not deserve what happened yesterday. I stayed quiet for a minute before he started the conversation again. "I know I was a dickhead from the beginning of this trip and what I said yesterday. I am sorry. It's that it just hit me that actually I got married to you. I have needs okay." He walked over to the table setting the content on the table. He closed his jacket and sat across from me.
"You don't say." I replied with sarcasm.
"So to make it up to you I got us these." He handed me a black envelope. "My mom told me you like to go to these kinds of things." I opened the envelope and it was two tickets for the ballet.
Romeo and Juliet.
I was mad but I couldn't be mad at him for a long time. The tickets were brownie points to getting me back to happy.
"I really do like to go to these things." I looked over the tickets. "Thank you." I saw that the play was tonight. "You know we have to go formal. We didn't bring anything to wear that is formal."
"Well I guess that means we have to go shopping." He smiled. I guess I can forgive him. "So lets eat and get ready."

I ate a chocolate filled croissant and coffee. We went to several stores but nothing really is to our liking. We finally found a small boutique that had the perfect clothes for the ballet.
I tried on several dresses before I picked out the perfect dress. I wanted to keep it a secret. Once I picked out my dress I waited. I sat on a chair near the men's dressing room while James tried on a couple of suits in different styles and colors. As I waited looking at the ties next to me I was second guessing my dress. Off to the corner of my eye I saw a black dress. I asked the saleswoman if they had it in my size and they did. I went back to the dressing room and tried on the dress. Just as I zipped up the dress James came out to show his suit.
"Come out I want to see you." He said I saw him through the smallest opening of the cuitain. He was standing in front of a large mirror inspecting the suit he has on. I slid the curtain to the side and came out in a simple black knee length deep v- neckline dress. It curves the right body parts. It is sexy but not showing too much skin.
