"Okay. Are you ready?" I say smoothing over the dress.
"Ready." Blake says. I open my bathroom door and smile at him. Blake stands up in his suit and tie and he smiles.
"You look beautiful." Blake says. I look down at my dress and heels.
"Too girly for me." I say. I walk over to him and fix the collar of his shirt. I fix his tie and he looks at me.
"Excited?" He asks.
I shake my head. "Not really. Today is the day where I'm going to have a step dad that I can't stand." I say.
"Keep your chin up princess." Blake says.
"Oh. I uh.. I got you something." Blake says. He pulls a white velvet box from his pocket and hands it to me.
"What's this?" I ask, a smile forming on my face.
"Remember when we went shopping for that diamond necklace and bracelet?" He asks.
"Well yeah."
"Open it." He says. I open the box.
The Pandora princess ring.
"Blake." I said in shock.
"I saw you looking at it... I couldn't help myself.." He pauses,"I went back with my mom and bought it."
I smile,"Do you even know how happy I am right now?"
He smiles. I hug him tightly. "thank you." I whisper.
He takes the ring from the box and slips it on my right fourth finger.
"I love it." I say.
"I'm glad." He smiles and kisses my forehead.
"My mom said she was sending a 'limo' to come get us with some of my close friends." I say.
"Who are these 'close friends'?" Blake asks.
"Hailey, Maria, Hunter, Zack, Jake and Leah."I say,"Hailey and Hunter are together, Hunter can't stand Leah, but Leah likes Hunter. Jake is dating some girl named Natalia who's a foreign exchange student from Russia, but she can't stand me. Maria doesn't tie herself down. Zack is a fuck boy. So don't be worried if he flirts with me, he doesn't mean it." I say.
"Alrighty then." Blake chuckles and a beep sounds from outside.
"That's the limo." I say and grab my white wallet with diamonds on it. I stick my phone in it and some cash.
"Let's go." I say. We walk downstairs and Blake rest his hand on the small of my back. We get in the limo and Hailey smirks at me.
"So this is the famous Blake Gray. Huh?" She asks.
"That's me." Blake says.
"Look at this little flame." Zack says and runs his hand up my thigh.
"Easy, Zackary." I say. He takes his hand away and Blake puts his arm around me.
"Imma find a girl tonight." Zack says and I gag.
"This is gonna be a long ride."

I walk down the hallway with Blake, our fingers laced together.
I knock of the door of my moms changing room.
"That's Alaska." My mom says and opens the door. She looks at me and tears up.
"You look beautiful." She says.
"Mom. Your making me feel like I'm getting married today." I say and hug my mom.
"Hi Blake." She says. He smiles,"Hi miss Jess." He says.
I smile.
"Well. I'm gonna go see dad. See you soon." I smile. Blake and I walk down the hallway and down to the dinner room.
"Dad!" I shout. He turns around and smiles, holding his arms out and hugging me.
"Uh. Daddy, this is my boyfriend, Blake." I say. Blake smiles,"Hi, Mr. Giovanello." He says.
My dad raises his eyebrows.
"Boyfriend?" He says and Blake nods,"Yeah."
"What are your intentions with my little girl?" My dad says.
"Dad. Don't interi----"
"My intentions? Treat her how every girl should be treated. Respect her, protect her. Love her. Never be the reason for her tears or her pain, but to pick up the pieces from the people who have hurt her. Have silly moments with her. Take her places she's never been before. Adventure and find new things. Feel things I've never felt before. Make mistakes and make more together. Pull her close to me and keep her warm when its cold. Help her with her problems or troubles. Never any bad intentions. I care to much about her. I love her." Blake says.
I was shocked. Truly, I was. I thought his answer would have been short and sweet. Clearly, I was wrong.
My dad stood there dumbfounded.
"Well." My dad says. He shakes Blake's hand.
"Treat her like that and your almost on my good side." He says and walks away.
I turn to Blake.
"What was that?" I giggle.
"Everything you needed to know."
