"Wow" Justin comments as soon as the dress I was wearing came into view. After trying on twenty dress in six stores my brother and I finally agreed the this was our last.
"You say that every time I walk out" I roll my eyes while Turning towards the mirror closet to where I stood.
"Holy... " stunned by my appearance I quickly place my palm over my mouth. A red gown with thin straps holding it on my shoulders, silver lining from the center of the dress down to the waist. Appealing to all my curves, flowing slightly under my knees.
"If you weren't my sister... " Justin begins. He was twenty two years old, two years younger than I am. Turning behind him he removed a piece of jewelry from a nearby box. Stand over me being the skyscraper of a guy he was, he motioned from me to remove my hair giving him access to place the necklace around my neck.
We both stared at myself in awe for about a minute before a blonde hair lady who seems to be in her mid thirties came towards me. "Wow... You look stunning" she also had said that twice since I stepped into the store.
Tonight was our parents winter party, every year for the past twenty three years they would get me ready to meet there guests, my brother would stay close by all night incase I needed to get out of an awkward conversation. Knowing my parents hopes for my brother and I we stayed restless in order to prepare our self for what is to come. Half of our family company will be handed over to me at the end of my final year in college, the other half to my brother two years from now.
Our company being one of the most popular and widely used cargo company was now taking on another deal, allowing our family to become the wealthiest worldwide.
"I'll like these" I say handing the dress and necklace to the stores assistance
She smiles and turns on her heels to walk towards the cash register.
"Ready? " Justin asks staring down at his phone in hand
" For tonight no, to see James yes"
James have been my high school sweetheart, we have been together since senior year. With us attending separate colleges we haven't gotten the chance to see each other other than on holidays or a few weekends.
"Taught so" Justin looks from his phone and smiles at me. His neon eyes bright as his lips meet his ears. "my future brother in law?"
Being married was the next step for our relationship, there was no possible doubt that I love James and he assured me that he loves me. "If all goes as expected"
Planning everything from start to finish was always something I treasured, nothing would go wrong or surprise me.
"Here you go, Ms Gomez" The stores assistant hands me the bag as soon as Justin and I approach her at the register
"Thank you" taking the designer shopping bag from her hold I smile and head towards the entrance
Our driver, Mr Cornwall hurriedly open the range Roger that brought us here. Being our driver from As long as we can remember we have grown closer to him in a more personal relationship.
"Home" Justin informs as soon as we are seated in the back of the car. Driving through new York city keeps me in awe each day, no matter how much time I've passed a building it still wasn't familiar which kept the newness of the city.

"Jade? " my mother, Carmen call while knocking against my door
"Come in"
The door jerks open allowing my mother to come in view, her green eyes and dark black hair flowing on her back. In her green robe and butterfly slippers.
"Aren't you getting ready" she asks amazed that I still layed lazily on my bed with my phone in hand
"Mom, it's only three" getting ready would take me a couple of hours but I still had time
"Leaving you with only four five hours"
"Aren't you getting ready? " I challenge her
She looks down at her attire and smiles at me" Yes, Mom"
Laughing at her childish tone I glance out the window to check if my father have arrived. In his usual black tuxedo and a shocking blue tie. His brown hair and dark green eyes, with his well head held high as he walks towards the front door showing his masculine figure.
"Daddy's here" climbing off my bed I rush past my mother towards the door. Climbing the steps two by two I rush into my father's arms throwing my arms around his neck.
"Hey, kiddo" he wraps his arms around my back allowing my to inhale his strawberry scent.
"I've missed you" I mumble against his chest
"It's only been two months " he chuckles pulling away from my tight hold.
We both turn at hearing my mother clearing her throat In an act of us acknowledging her presence in the room. My father moves towards her holding out his arms awaiting her. She walking into his arms and covers herself with him as they hug for almost a minute.
My mother whispers in my father's ears preventing me from hearing what ever words she said "James here yet?" Dad asks
Being close friends with James father, Mark dad taught of him as a son. He respects him greatly, looking out on both of our sides. "No, he said he'll be here by five"
Dad nods his head "why aren't you ladies dressed?"
"We'll get right to that" mom smiles taking my arm and leading my upstairs.
With mother doing her make up she gave me the task of selecting her jewelry. Opening a Red jewelry box a picture of my parents dressed on there wedding day fell out the cover of the box. Bending to pick up what fell with a toothy smile across my face.
My dad stood behind my mother in a black tuxedo, an emerald green dress shirt and a while tie around his neck. My mother in a white flower dress with her back lightly exposed and silver necklace. She wore a silver heel to finish her look.
Dad was standing behind her with his hands around her waist as they stood smiling.
"What that? " mother asks when she notices Me smile
After Handing her the picture i move to sit beside her" Your wedding"
A smile stretch across her face as she stares down at the picture in her hand. My parents were married for thirty five years now before I had been taught of ever being here.
"Will I ever have that? " I asks before recognizing the words even left my mouth
Mother place the picture beside her makeup box and turns towards me to give me her full attention.
" Of course you will, sweetheart" she brushes away a piece of my hair
"With James? " James would be perfect. He's charming, funny and already familiar with my family
" If he's the one you truly love" mom turns her attention back to the mirror before her "You'll know" she turns and smiles at me.
