Mariah Abrams has always dreamed of opening her own boutique. Someday she plans to make her brand a household name. She may be tiny, but she has a big heart. Mariah has an innocent air about her that draws people to her. It's almost as if she hasn't...
I woke up in a great mood, and nothing was going to change that.
"Come on Mark, I have been up for hours waiting on you. I'm ready to go get my dress."
Except maybe that....
"Give me a few minutes to get ready."
* * * time lapse * * *
"You take longer than me to get ready, and that's saying something."
"Do you want me to bring you to the boutique or not brat?"
"I love you dearest brother."
We got into the car and made our way over to the boutique.
"I want to try on every dress."
She is lucky that I'm very interested in seeing the owner of this shop.
When the bell over the door announced our entrance, Mariah said, "Welcome to Just a Bit of Magic, where we make your dream of finding the perfect dress come true."
"I'm so excited," Leigh squealed.
"Finally, I have been waiting all morning to show you the dresses that I had set aside."
"Excited to see me are you?"
"Not really, excited to see you sister. After all, I'm positive she is going to leave with at least 2 dresses."
"Yeah, no. After the stunt she pulled last night, she's only getting one."
"Just look at that beautiful face, how can you deny her one of the few things that causes her great happiness? Besides, how will she be able to appropriately dress for homecoming, which is just next week, without wearing the same dress as someone else? She has to have options!"
While she is giving her pitch, Leigh is right besides her giving me puppy dog eyes. If you don't have a sister you don't know the power that pitiful face holds..... "Fine 2 dresses, but that is the limit."
They shared a smile and Mariah began to drag Leigh to the back of the store.
When she said that she had picked out a few dresses, that was an understatement. She picked out almost half of the store. Eventually we were able to narrow them down a bit, but Leigh just couldn't pick two.

Eventually she decided to get a blue ball gown and a little red number. At first I didn't agree with the red one, but Mariah explained to me that the dress Leigh had on the other night was just too short. If it would have been a bit longer it wouldn't have been too bad. I still think she needs one of those little dress jacket thingys.
All in all we spend 4 hours in the store. One store, for 4 hours.
Once the dresses we paid for, Leigh ran back to the car with them. Finally some alone time with this beauty.
"Did you see the smile on her face? You did that, now you just need to quit trying to chase her boyfriend away and you would be a decent person."
"I am a decent person. That's why I have two pistols in my car, one for Leigh and one for Leya. My sisters are not toys, so there will be no one playing games with them."
"I can tell you truly love your sisters."
"I do. Now that you see how lovely I am as a person, how about you just give me your number now."
"You really are persistant aren't you?"
"I will be whatever you want ma. Seriously though, where am I picking you up from tonight?"
"We will be at Lacey's house."
"Well beautiful lady," I said as I grabbed her hand. "I will see you tonight," and with that I kissed her hand.
Before the day is over I plan to kiss more than just her hand.
