The Billionaire's Proposal

Birthday Party Catastrophe (Part I)

I walk down stairs dressed in a burgundy pencil skirt, white blouse, and beige pumps.

"Good morning." I greet with a smile as I enter the dinning room.

Adrian looks up from his newspaper and smiles, "Good morning, Jane."

"Happy birthday!" Gabby comes running into the room with four birthday balloons floating right behind her.

"It's your birthday?" I ask. Gabby crushed her brother with a beat hug.

"Gabby...can't...breathe." Adrian chokes and Gabby let's go. "Yes, it's my birthday today."

"Happy Birthday." I state as I walk over to him and give him a hug and he wraps his arms around my waist as he sits me down on his lap and connects our lips.

"Ugh, its to early for PDA." Gabby gags causing us to laugh and pull away.

"Mom put together a masquerade ball birthday party." Gabby informs as she takes the seat across from us. I was going to stand up but Adrian's arm brought me back down to his lap.

"Of course she would." Adrian states as he runs a hand through his brown locks.

"What time is it going to be at?" I ask.

Gabby turns to look at me and answers, "It starts at eight."

"Do I have to go?" Adrian whines. I turn his face to look at me and state, "We are going, it's a nice gesture from your mom and it would be rude to not show up."

"Fine." Adrian sighs in defeat.

"Well, I leave you guys then." Gabby announces as she stands up.

"You're not staying for breakfast?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"I would love to but I have to do some last minute dress shopping," She answers. "Hey, you should come with me! That way we can go get our dresses."

"I don't know, I have to go with Adrian to the off-"

"Go with her, the office will just fine." Adrian states.

"You sure?" Adrian nods with an assuring smile which causes a smile to tug at my lips.

"Let's go then! I'll bring her back to you at around four." Gabby pulls me out of Adrian's embrace and rushes us to the limousine.

"I'm so glad you could come along," Gabby states. "With you I can find the perfect dress for tonight."

"Jane, I think I found the one!" Gabby beams as she walks over to me with a baby blue ball gown.

"It's beautiful." I respond as I stare at the gorgeous dress. "Go try it on."

I usher her into the fitting room excited to see how the dress will look on her. While I am waiting I scan the room and a beautiful rose gold colored silk dresses draws my attention. The soft fabric ran through my hands and I immediately fell in love with the dress.

"Jane, how do I look?" Gabby asks and I grab the dress before walking towards her. The dress hugged her in all the right places and the flowing bottom made it look like a princess dress.

"It's perfect." I answer as I stare at her in awe.

"Guess I'll take this one," Gabby replies. "I'm so glad I brought you with me. Have you found a dress?"
