CHAPTER FIVE

"We're ready!" Brooke called out at the top of the stairs. "Is everyone ready to see my newest creation?"

My heart started beating faster and I began walking down the stairs very carefully, since I was not used to wearing heels. That was the one thing that Brooke hadn't thought of, getting me used to walking in those uncomfortable things.

Everyone was waiting for us downstairs, not just Brooke's family! I saw my parents and sister, Emma and Amanda. I couldn't believe that they were all waiting to see me!

Suddenly, I was assaulted with a bunch of blinding flashing lights. Did everyone have cameras?

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, everyone started talking at once.

"You look beautiful, honey!" my dad said.

"I can't believe it!" exclaimed my mom.

"Alexis, you're gorgeous!" cried Natalie.

"Where have you been hiding yourself?" asked Emma.

"Smart and beautiful!" said Amanda.

"You look fantastic!" Steve said.

Once it felt like the room stopped spinning, I looked at Amanda, Emma and Natalie's dresses and told them how great they looked too.

"Alexis," Brooke said, pulling my attention away from my friends and family. "There is someone that I'd like you to meet."

I'd almost forgotten after the shock of seeing my parents and sister there!

She grabbed my hand and walked me to the other side of the living room, where an extremely handsome young man stood watching everyone else.

As our eyes met, everything else seemed to disappear around us. I became completely lost in his eyes and they took me to a fantastic, new place. I felt as though I had entered a new world. I was overcome by the feelings that washed over my mind, body and soul. I was not a romantic; this was something that I thought was reserved only for movies and books.

I didn't know what to do with the intense feelings that were overtaking all of my senses. I thought that I might need to sit down, and I looked around for the nearest chair.

My heart was racing and all of my skin seemed afire. My mind was swimming; I felt like the room was spinning out of control.

How could a stranger bring out all of these feelings in me? I had just met him and neither of us had even spoken a single word.

Looking into his eyes, I felt that I had found my home. I felt safe and secure, everything that I lacked at home. I knew that it was ridiculous and my mind was yelling at my emotions to get a grip.

"Alexis, this is Cliff," Brooke said, bringing me back to reality.

I blinked and then breathed. I hadn't realized that I was holding my breath--that he'd taken my breath away!

He smiled. "It's wonderful to meet you, Alexis."

His voice was the most amazing sound that I had ever heard. It seemed so familiar, and I was overcome with emotions of inexpressible joy. I also felt tears of happiness threatening to escape. What was going on with me?

As I looked into his perfect face, I felt as if I had known that face my entire life.
