Chapter 1
Troy flipped through the newspaper, looking for the right page. Finally he turned to the right page and found the perfect ad.
His sister was getting married and if he didn't show up with a date, his mom was going to torment him about how all he ever focuses on, is his work and that he needs to live life and 'get some.' and he definately didn't want to hear that speech for the thousandth time.
The next day, Troy got an email from the ad saying that someone named Gabriella had oked him and that in 3 days, she would meet him at the airport.
Troy started packing, wondering who this 'Gabriella' was, whether she would be late and miss the flight or how she would act or how she would look.
3 days later, Troy grabbed his luggage and got to the airport. After going through security and checking his bags in, he made his way to the ticket check in thing (have no idea what its called) where he sat down, looking at the people. When his section of the plane was called, he stood up and saw 3 other girls get up with him.
'One of them has to be Gabriella' he thought
One girl was blonde with a business suit, the second was a brunette with a knee length skirt and a tunic top, and the third was a blonde wearing a skimpy outfit.
'Gabriella must be the blonde in the skimpy outfit' he thought, but when she walked right past his seat, he knew he was wrong.
He was going to his seat and putting his carry-on in the storage compartment above him, when the brunette girl said, "excuse me" and slid past him into the next seat.
"ar--, are you gabriella?" he asked uncertain.
"yeah, you must be Troy." she said.
"right. Look, I just wanted to thank you for you know, doing this for me"
"oh, its no problem. so when we get there, its the cocktail party right?"
"right"
"so do we need to color coordinate or what?''
"well, don't you think that would be trying to hard?"
"i guess, so should i wear a black dress or red?"
As Troy scanned her up and down, he said, "definately red"
"definately, huh?" Gabriella said teasingly
Troy blushed and sat down quickly.
"so what do you do?"
"oh, I'm a lawyer"
"oh? that's nice"
"i guess"
"so where did we meet?"
"the airport?" Troy said, not catching her drift.
"No, i mean so we can tell your parents. how long have we been dating, where we first met, do we live together or what?"
"Oh. yeah. umm..i guess we've been dating for a year and a half, and we met ummm...at a bar?"
"no, that won't work."
"why not?"
"I don't drink."
"ok, so we met at a...friend's house."
"ok that's fine."
"and i guess we've been living together for about 4 months"
"Ok. I think that's it. If anything else comes up we'll talk about it then right?"
"yeah...wait! what do you do for a living?"
"Oh, ummm..home decorator"
"ok"
3 hours had passed when the plane landed in St. Louis, MO.
Gabriella had changed on the plane into the red ensemble. when she returned to the seats, Troy looked up and was speechless.
"Is this okay?" She asked
"yeah, thats...that's perfect" he said.
she laughed a little and said, "ready to do this?"
