📍Miami , USA 🇺🇸
➟ ▪︎ Emily's penthouse

EMILY STOOD INFRONT of the body length mirror , running her manicured hand through her curled black hair. she checked that the silver mini dress was appropriate and pulled it down to her liking.

she turned around to take her silver YSL heels and put them on the floor infront of her bed. as soon as she sat on her bed and put her heels on, the door of the en suite bathroom opened.

Emily just shook her head and put her heels on , but didn't say anything. she sprayed some perfume on and touched up her make up for the last time.

she heard a sigh but didn't reply , putting on a last coat of mascara on her eyelashes.

another sigh was heard , but this time it was louder and Emily turned around and rolled her brown eyes.

"what's wrong?" she asked and made sure everything was in her bag. she didn't want to forget anything.

Emily was busy putting on lipgloss on her lips when she felt arms around her waist and a face in her neck.

"your dad is going to hate me" he groaned and she rolled her eyes. "he's not , why are you nervous?" she asked and put the lipgloss tube back in the drawers.

"because what if he kicks me out and i haven't even entered the house?" her boyfriend overreacted and a small smile played on her lips.

"he's not. and even if he wants to...he can't. he won't ruin my mom's night for her" she said and he pulled away , making sure his suit wasn't messed up.

Emily stroked her fingers across his jaw. "the suit is fine. you'll be fine" she said and he let out a breath before nodding his head.

he placed a kiss on her jaw and handed her black bag. "then let's go" he said as he glanced at the watch on his wrist.

he followed his girlfriend downstairs where the giftbags were and helped her take it to the car.

once Emily was sure the gift bags were secured , she locked the doors and activated the alarms in the house too.

she buckled herself in once she was in the passenger seat and the engine then came to life.

today was Antonela's 38th birthday [made it up].

Leo , Emily , the boys and Anto already spent the day together and did some things for her birthday. but tonight was the dinner get-together.

only a handful of people were going to be there. people that Antonela valued deeply and the people she was the closest to.

Emily glanced at her boyfriend's side profile and softly smiled. she knew he was nervous to meet her father and she put her hand on his thigh to relax him.

she watched as he visibly relaxed and let out a breath through his nose as he did what the GPS in the car said.

a couple days before Antonella's birthday , they all came back from Rosarío. Emily had been missing her grandparents and also had been visiting her mother's grave every time she went there.
