Mark

*a couple of days later*

I was at Skye's, she was taking a shower so we can go to the flower store, she wanted me to help her pick out a color or flower. I don't know. A couple of days ago Skye and her mom were talking. Apparently her whole family, like her aunts ,uncles, cousins, the whole family have a huge reunion party every year, and it's always near her grandmother's birthday and Skye was going to miss it again for a third year in a row. I felt bad because she hasn't seen her family in two or three years, i couldn't go that long without seeing my family, I would be homesick. So I decided to buy her something that would make her feel better.

"Okay I'm ready Mark, let's go." Skye says as she's brushing the final stead of her hair.

"Hey Skye, before we go I wanted to give you something."

"What is it?" She asks while sitting next to me.

"Here open it." I then hand her a white envelope and she takes it into her small hands.

"It's not money right?"

"Something more special than that, I think you'll be very happy."

She then opens it and takes out the thing I got her.

"Mark you didn't!"

"I did."

She then jumps up in excitement and hugs me tightly.

"Oh my god, thank you so much! I love you!"

"What?"

She realizes what she says and widens her eyes. She lets go of me and begins to blush.

"I mean thank you, so much. This means a lot to me. I can't believe that I'm going back to San Antonio. It's going to be so amazing. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"

She wraps her arms around me and kisses my cheek.

"I'm also going with you."

"No way, really?!"

"Yeah."

"Oh my god, my whole family gets to meet you! I swear they are awesome and they will definitely love you."

"I hope so."

"C'mon, help me." Skye says as she grabs my hand and runs downstairs in excitement.

Skye and I arrived at the flower shop and start looking around. She automatically goes to the red frangipani and grabs a bunch.

"I want these as my flowers, and with these white frangipanis. This is so pretty." Skye says as she creates a bouquet of the frangipanis.

"Are you going to have any bridesmaids?"

"Yeah my sister and Mia, it's not a huge ceremony but a big party afterwards."

"Start small end huge."

"Exactly, now I need someone. Hello miss!"

A lady with red hair then turns around and walks towards us.

"How many I help you today."

"I'm getting married and I was wondering if you could make these into a bouquet."

"Of course, I might also have a few idea to go with this flower, come here please."

We then follow the lady to a counter and she pulls out a binder with many pages. She then opens it and shows us a page of flower crowns.
