THIRTEEN
The many lights sparkle in my eyes as the limo slops to a stop in front of the Georgian Hotel entrance.
"After you," Aaron motions me and Kennedy out of the car into the night.
I feel a slight breeze, the Santa Monica shore is not too far away. Aaron takes my hand and begins to lead me inside, I turn and see Kennedy chatting with one of Aaron's friends. He leads me into the Speakeasy room. It resembles a wedding reception, except there aren't assigned seats and fancy tableware and there's no one catering to your every need, only tables, chairs, and a long buffet line. Aaron's rich. Filthy rich. His family is actually well affiliated with the manager of this hotel so I'm positive they got a great discount on this area.
"This is an amazing place for a party," I explain in awe as more and more guests enter and take a seat.
"This is the party, but I got something much more special planned," Aaron grins at me as I look at him baffled.
"What do you mean?" I croak out.
"Come here," his hand intertwines with mine, as he leads me away from the large party hall and towards the Veranda, the hotel's restaurant.
"Reservations?" I smile brightly looking up at him.
"Happy anniversary babe," he kisses my forehead then turns to the matrade," Brookes, party of two."
The stiff looking man with a receding hairline escorts us outside to a reserved table decorated with two candles that light up the dim area, making the whole scene absolutely beautiful.
"You are amazing," I giggle taking a seat.
"Anything for you," he fixes his tie and sits in front of me,
"Fine wine sir," the same receding hairline man pours us two glasses.
"How did you get fine wine?" I whisper with laugh.
"My parents have connections," he smirks," Cheers?"
"Cheers," I clank my glass against his taking a sip.
Keeping it original, we went with two salads with ranch dressing as our appetizers. Their food is delicious.
"Katrina," Aaron gets my attention," I just wanted to say...I love you."
"I love you too," our hands meet.
"So happy anniversary," he slips a small velvet box onto the table.
"What's this? A gift! But I didn't get you anything! I'm so horrible!" I sigh, staring at the box.
"Being with you is all I need."
"What is this-," I stop midway through my sentence, as my eyes open widen with astonishment," AARON!"
"You like it?" he laughs.
"I love it!" I shriek, admiring the ruby and diamond ring.
"I got it from Ben Bridge," he explains.
"This...this is so...so unbelievable!" I feel tears forming in my eyes.
"You crying babe?" Aaron whispers sensitively.
"Uh huh," I nod," Excuse me for a moment.
I take my clutch and my new ring and walk inside, searching for the ladies' room. I see one just to my far left, and start for it. I glance down for a moment to once again adore the radiant new ring Aaron has given me, just for our one month anniversary. Suddenly, I bump into a guy who seems to be a waiter and collapse onto the floor. My vision seems blurry for a moment as I try understand what just happened.
"Katrina!" I hear the guy I bumped into exclaim, helping me get up off the floor.
"STEPHEN," my voice thunders through the entire restaurant, causing a even more embarrassing scene for myself.
But then, I quickly regain memory of what was once in my hand. My eyes widen, terrified, I couldn't have. I shake my head, the happy tears that formed on face earlier have now been replaced by sad tears. I lost Aaron's ring.
