Being Christmas Eve, Fashion Wear was open till noon. Though we were exceptionally busy, my mind was somewhere else and I couldn’t help but wonder what Michael had planned. With every hour that passed by, my stomach fluttered with excitement and anticipation.

After I got home, Mom and I talked on the phone, but I was only half listening. Time couldn’t fly fast enough. I found myself doing the laundry, cleaning my room, and flipping through the pages of a book I’d started a while back. Michael didn’t mention what time he was going to pick me up, but I assumed it was would be soon, since he knew I usually eat dinner around 5:00.

I slid into the dress Michael had given me and curled my hair. Afterwards, I lightly put on makeup and slipped on my only pair of high heeled shoes. Unexpectedly, there was a knock on my door. Who could that be? I thought. I had expected Michael to knock on the window, but that wasn’t the case. When I peeked out the window, I saw a black Ferarri 612 Scaglietti and let out a huge smile. It was the same car Davin had borrowed to take me to Michael.

I opened the door to see Michael all dressed up in a nice dark gray suit. He looked so debonair and handsome that all I could do was gawk and give him a happy smile.

Michael smiled back. He looked a bit shy. “Claudia, it fits you perfectly. You look beautiful,” he said, taking my hands and kissing them both, then hugging me tenderly.

“You don’t look bad yourself,” I replied, but what I was really thinking was that I wanted to just grab him and kiss him. “Come in,” I said finally. “Why didn’t you just fly in?”

“I wanted this to be like a real date,” he said. “I don’t think guys normally just fly into their date’s bedroom.”

“Normally,” I laughed.

“We should get going. I have a reservation for us at 5:00.”

“Where are we going?”

“If I tell you, then it won’t be a surprise.” He took my hand and led me to the car, opening the passenger’s side. “It was Davin’s idea,” he said. “But don’t worry, I don’t drive like him.”

“I’m not worried,” I giggled, feeling giddy, so overwhelmed with excitement that I could hardly contain myself.

When we arrived at our destination, I saw that we were at the Grand View hotel. The tall picturesque building with 30 floors stood out elegantly compared to other hotels surrounding the area. One thing I did notice this time that I hadn’t noticed before were the pristine white statues of angels situated high above. Their beauty was evident as their wings fanned partially, holding the same stance, like soldiers, guarding this place as they did at Island of Eden. Knowing who they were gave me a sense of new found respect as I fell under the trance, and I could do nothing for some time but stare.

After Michael pulled up to valet park, we got out of the car and headed to the entrance.
