Tom looked over at the
saleswoman.
“ Wrap it up, along with
the other things we spoke about” he said. The woman nodded and
rushed out of the room, Abby looked over at Tom.
“How are they going to wrap it up if I’m
still in it?” she asked him.
He laughed, “That is just a sample that they
use to let people try on. You will get one that nobody has ever
worn yet. Now go and change back into your regular clothes. I’m
starving, let’s go and get something to eat.”
She started to walk back into the room, but
turned around and asked him, “What other stuff were you talking
about?”
Tom shook his head, “Nope that is a
surprise, just go and change so we can get out of here will you?”
he said as he winked.
She laughed and went back into the dressing
room, curious as to what else he had up his sleeve.

When they got back to Tom’s apartment, he
finally let her open the bags that he had snuck into his car while
she was getting dressed back into her regular clothes at the store.
She opened up the largest box first, and it was the dress that she
had tried on, only brand new and never touched.
“Can I hang this in your closet?” she asked,
figuring she would just get ready at his house before the party at
his father’s hotel.
He nodded and she walked over to his closet
and hung it up, and when she turned around he was standing behind
her with another, smaller box. She took it into her hand and as she
opened it she saw a white drawstring bad with Jimmy Choo printed
very large on the outside of it. Her heart started pounding as she
opened the bag and saw the most beautiful pair of shoes she had
ever laid her eyes on. They were silver and strappy, with
rhinestones all over them, making them sparkle in the light. The
heel on them was at least four inches, if not more, and as she sat
on Tom’s bed, he lifted her foot, took off her old worn tennis
shoes and slid them onto her feet.
They were a perfect fit and for a second,
she felt as though she was Cinderella and she had just found her
prince. She shook her head, making her brain come out of her
daydream and looked back up at Tom, nearly speechless.
“This is too much, you really shouldn’t have
gotten all of this for me, I don’t deserve it” She said in a
gasp.
Tom shook his head and rubbed his hands over
her leg, “None of these things are nearly as beautiful as you are,
and you deserve the world, don’t you ever forget that. Besides,
what is the point of having all of this money, if I can’t spoil my
girl friend once in a while?” he said to her saying the G word
again.
She grabbed him around his neck and started
to kiss him, putting all of the passion and happiness she had in
her at that moment into the kiss. He pulled her up and stood her up
laughing.
“Hold on, not that I don’t appreciate that,
but there is more.”
Abby’s mouth dropped open, “How can there be
more? You have already done too much.”
Tom shook his head and pointed to two more
boxes, both smaller than the others.
“I don’t want you to freak out, but that
dress and those shoes are great, but you can’t go to a party like
this one without all of the accessories. So before you even open
the boxes, I will tell you that they contain jewelry, and a purse.
I hope that’s okay.”
Abby stood in shock, thinking that this was
way too much for her, she was used to simple living with clothes
from Ross, not brand new name brand stuff like this. She sat back
down onto the bed.
“Listen Tom, this really is too much. I’ll
tell you what, since this whole dinner thing is much fancier than
anything I own, I will wear all of this stuff to meet your dad, but
after that, you really have to take it back. I just can’t accept
expensive gifts like this, I wouldn’t feel right.”
Tom sat next to her and put his arms around
her, “Okay, how about we just agree to have you wear it for the
dinner party, and we will figure out what to do with all of it
after that. Is that good
saleswoman.
“ Wrap it up, along with
