"Wow you look amazing." He says big eyed.
"Thank you so do you." I say smiling.
He looks phenomenal. His hair is slicked up like usual but he has a tux on and his teeth are shining brighter than the whole night sky.
"Ready to go?" He asks.
"Yes, the address is 3322 Cilingual rd."
"Wait, oh my god, I've been there before my brother lives in that neighborhood." He says.
"What a coincidence." I say chuckling.
Braylen turns on the radio and speeds off.
"What's the occasion, by the way?" Braylen asks.
"Every occasion my sister has is special to her and my mom." I say.
"Hm sounds like that makes you angry, what is going on with that miss Ellis?" He says chuckling.
"My sister and my mom will never give it a rest about hounding me to get married, My sister is married, my mom is married for her 7th time, and I just don't want to turn out like them." I say.
"Well I say tonight we give them a show." Braylen says.
"What do you mean?"
"I say we show them what they want to see." He says.
"Like act like annoying newly weeds?" I question.
"Yes by George I think you've got it." He says while laughing.
"Alright game on." I say.
Once we pull in he gets out and opens my door.
"My love." He says.
I grab his arm and we make our way in. He knocks on the door. My mom opens it.
"Well who do we have here?" She says.
"This is Braylen h-"
"I'm her boyfriend." He interrupts.
"Well you're one handsome man, it's hard to believe that my girl snagged one like you. How did you get him Ellis?" My mom asks me.
"Get me, I got her, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on she's my goddess." He says.
He's laying some thick icing on this cake I think to myself.
"Well anyone whose a fan of my daughters I'm a fan of." Mom says while welcoming us in. I see my sister and her husband at the table.
"Hi sis, whose your date?" She asks.
"His name is Braylen we work together." I say.
We both smile at each other. Braylen pulls out a chair for me and gestures for me to sit. I do, then he takes a seat next to me.
"A pure gentleman." Mom says from in the kitchen.
Mom brings out the food and sits down once the table is filled with several dishes of delicious food. Braylen kindly volunteers to say grace, and then we all begin to eat.
