been in one before,
but it seemed to be going really well, and she didn’t want anything
to spoil it.
    In keeping with trying not to spoil things,
she made it a point to never go into one of Tom’s dreams again, not
wanting to feel as awkward with him as she had after she had gone
into his dream before.
    She woke up before Tom and decided to make
him breakfast in bed with some of the food they had bought
together, but just as the bacon started to sizzle, he woke up. She
looked over and saw him sitting up in the bed watching her cook
wearing only her underwear and one of his large t-shirts.
    “Are you hungry?” she asked him.
    He nodded and slowly dragged himself out of
bed, and sat at the small table he had set up next to the
kitchen.
    “Why are you up so early?” he asked her.
    She shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t know,
couldn’t sleep I guess, maybe I’m just nervous about tonight, I’ve
never met a guy’s family before” she told him, blushing.
    He smiled up at her, “You sure do blush a
lot, but it’s okay because your cute when you blush. Don’t be
nervous about tonight, my family will love you, how could they
not?” he said.
    She opened her mouth to say something, but
changed her mind and turned back to the stove, putting the
finishing touches on his breakfast. She had almost asked him if he
loved her, but it was way too soon to start throwing around
questions like that. Besides, she was almost afraid of what he
would say.
    “Where are we going?” Abby asked, as Tom
drove into a section of downtown that she had never seen
before.
    “It’s a surprise, you will have to wait and
see” he replied.
    Abby shrugged her shoulders, she knew how
stubborn he could be, and if he wasn’t ready to tell her where they
were going, he wouldn’t say a thing. She looked out the window as
they pulled into a shopping center with a very prestigious salon on
the corner.
    She looked over at him, “Are we going to
this salon?” she asked, thinking about how much she really needed a
haircut.
    He nodded and smiled, “I think you need to
be pampered. Besides, I am making you meet my family, the least I
can do is have you relaxed when you walk in.”
    Abby smiled at him, he really could be very
sweet, and she felt lucky to have met him. As soon as they walked
into the salon, she was once again ushered into a VIP area and
experienced what life was like for the rich and famous. They sat
her in a huge cushioned chair that vibrated and massaged her. She
sat there feeling pure bliss while one woman started to give her a
pedicure, another woman started up a manicure, and a very colorful
man got to work on her hair.
    He had bright red hair, and he was wearing a
rainbow shirt and yellow pants, but he really knew his way around
hair. He started by putting, what he called low lights, into her
already ice blonde hair. By the time they finished pampering her,
and giving her champagne to drink, and strawberries to munch on,
she really felt like one of the VIP people. Once she was finished,
she walked around the salon, thanking everyone who had helped her
in some way, then slid into Tom’s car as he pulled up outside.
    “Wow, you look great Abby” he told
her,leaning in for a kiss before he pulled away from the salon.
    “Thanks, they did a wonderful job, thank you
so much for taking me there” she told him, sitting back to enjoy
the short ride back to his loft.
    When they got back to Tom’s place she
disappeared into his bathroom to get ready. She didn’t want him to
see her until she was completely dressed and as she walked out of
his bathroom with her dress on, her shoes on, her jewelry on, and
her hair and makeup done by the salon, she anticipated that first
look. Tom was standing near his bed with his back turned toward
her, so she cleared her throat and he turned around. The look on
his face when he saw her was priceless, and it was even better than
she had hoped for. His eyes got wide as he looked her up
