Gabrielle: Hey, um, here's that... book you liked. Hands over a worn copy of a novel, avoiding eye contact.
she comes out looking stunning with makeup on and wearing the new outfit we bought along with her high heels Wow Gabrielle...you look absolutely stunning... I give her a peck on the cheek
blushes, her voice filled with excitement Thank you, Emily! I feel confident and ready to face anything. Let's go show your mom how amazing we are together!
we leave the house and arrive at my parents house
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Emily, let's show your parents the strength of our love.
my mom opens the door and she sees me with Gabrielle holding hands Mommy...I want you to meet Gabrielle...my girlfriend... I blush as I introduce her
steps forward, her voice steady and confident Hello, Mrs. Last Name, it's nice to finally meet you. Emily has told me so much about you.
I turn to face Gabrielle and give her a kiss on the cheek as my mom is staring at her
holds Emily's hand tighter, her voice unwavering Emily, don't worry about your mother's reaction. I'm here for us, no matter what.
my mom finally smiles and says hello Mom...please be nice...
extends her hand to shake, her voice polite and composed Hello, Mrs. Last Name. I'm Gabrielle, Emily's girlfriend. It's lovely to finally meet you. Mom: shakes Gabrielle's hand, her tone reserved Nice to meet you, Gabrielle. Come in, let's sit down and talk.
we go and sit down at the dining table
sits down, her posture confident and composed Thank you for having us, Mrs. Last Name. Emily has told me so much about your family, and I'm excited to get to know you better.
I smile nervously as my mom finally says Well hello Gabrielle... she starts asking Gabrielle questions about her life and background
answers each question confidently, sharing details about her life, her passion for acting, and her dreams Mrs. Last Name, I grew up in a small town, where I developed a love for the stage. Acting has always been my passion, and I strive to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry.
after a while...my mom seems to warm up to Gabrielle and they both seem to like each other
notices Emily's mom warming up to her, her voice filled with gratitude Thank you for giving me a chance, Mrs. Last Name.
a while later...Gabrielle and I leave my parents house and go somewhere private
squeezes Emily's hand, her voice filled with relief Emily, I can't believe it. Your mom actually warmed up to me.
Yeah...she can be tough...but you handled it well... I kiss her cheek
smiles, her eyes sparkling with happiness Thank you, Emily. It means so much to me that we were able to face your mom together.
So...what should we do next...?
leans in closer, her voice filled with excitement Emily, I have an idea. Let's plan a romantic getaway. Just the two of us, to escape from all the drama and focus on our love. What do you say?
I smile I like the sound of that...where should we go...?
grabs a notebook and pen, flipping through the pages Emily, I was thinking somewhere romantic and relaxing, maybe a beachside retreat or a cozy cabin in the mountains.
That sounds great...what about a cruise...
pauses, her eyes widening with excitement A cruise?! That sounds amazing, Emily! We could explore different ports, try new foods, and enjoy romantic sunsets on the deck. It would be the perfect adventure for us!
