"Thanks again mom for letting him stay in the guest room. This way we are closer and you get to know Ty a bit more and James and Melisa get the house to themselves." Marissa Montez said sitting on the couch with her boyfriend Tyler Scott facing her mother, Maria Montez whom was seated on her chair by the fireplace.

Tyler got a call from his girlfriend the night before saying that she had spoken to her mother about him living with them while on vacation. The next morning he grabbed his stuff and got picked up from the lovely lady and made their way to the Montez household. They spent the first hour just talking getting to know each other. The whole time Maria had realized the shine in her daughter's eyes. Something she hadn't seen in a while. Apart of her was happy, who wouldn't be happy. Her daughter loved a wonderful man; one that thinks about his future and wants better not just for him but for the woman he loved more in the world. Although she was happy for her another part of her was but sad worried. She was worried because she knew deep inside that her daughter still loved another man. A man that was perfect for her, a man that they have known since they were both in diapers. A man that was suppose to come over that morning for breakfast with his parents.

"So I can smell a lot of pancakes and bacon." Marissa said looking over to the kitchen door.

"Yeah, I'm going to have visitors this morning. They should be here in a bit."

"Well we would love to stay but we had already made plans last night to have breakfast." The young Montez smacked her hand on her boyfriend's leg and looked over at him and smiled before getting up. "Well be back around noon mom." They said their good-byes and the two young lovers walked out the house and left. They left in perfect timing as well simply because Daniel and the two older Bolton's showed up at The Montez household five minutes later.

"So are you going to go to the bachelor party tonight with the guys?"

"Well I think it's a little safer than staying home with your mom." Tyler joked as he took a bite out of his eggs.

"My mom's not that bad is she?"

"She's nice but being alone with girls' moms scare me. They start asking questions and I get nervous and when I get nervous I sweat." Tyler said wiping his forehead. "See I'm getting nervous right now just thinking about it."

Marissa brought his hand down and looked into his eyes. "Tyler, I've known you for five years now and you never get nervous meeting girls parents. So tell me; what are you really worried about?"

"I guess I just don't want to make a bad impression on your mother. You mean the world to me Marissa and I just don't want to say something stupid to make your mom hate me." Marissa smiled knowing that her boyfriend was putting an effort into being the good side of her mother when she knew about his past. He never cared on how he was pictured to his girlfriends' parents, because he never cared for the girls that much. Knowing that he wants to make the perfect impression meant the world to her. She knew she met the one; the one that will make her world shine and put a smile on her face twenty-four seven.

"Listen." She brought one of his hands to her chest and smiled, "Do you feel that? Do you feel my heart beating fast? You did that. If I can recognize that you are making me feel like this. Then so can my mom." Tyler smiled and placed a finger under her chin and lifted her head up a bit and slowly pressed his lips against hers, moving his hands slowly around her neck. Tyler for the first time in his life finally knew what it was like to falling in love.

"And your friends? What will they think of me?" Mari giggled and pulled her boyfriend back in for another kiss.

"That's their problem because I love you."

"So Romeo I heard you are giving up on Juliet." Jessica said appearing at Daniels door leaning against it as the blue eyed boy was sitting at his desk looking up from his laptop.

"Umm, yeah." Daniel took out a small USB drive from the side of his computer and placed it in a small box and locked it. "I was actually cleaning out my laptop of all the little videos, pictures, and conversations that I saved from years ago."

"Wow, that's something there. Even I didn't do that with Zeke." The now brunette said as she placed her bag on the chair by the door and entered sitting down on his queen sized bed. "Now that is true love."

"What happened with you and Zeke anyway?"

"Umm, he was having an affair with my vocal teacher. One day I arrived early from work to surprise Zeke but the surprise was on me because when I got to the apartment I had shared with him they were on the bed naked. Fired the coach, grabbed all his clothes and threw them out the window." Daniel chuckled throwing his head back wiping his face. "I kept his silver and gold jewelry and went to exchange it for money. I kept his Rolex though, it's cute."

"I admire you girl. You know how to keep a strong head when the worst possible things happen to you." Jess flipped her hair back and smiled proudly. "Something I can't say about myself." He said dropping his head down.

"You can say that about yourself now. I mean sure your apartment is a bit empty because most of it was all Marissa stuff but hey you are staying strong. I hear you go to Maria's all the time."

"Yeah well Maria is awesome. She's wonderful. I stop by for at least five minutes anytime I can. She always have amazing food for me to bring." He chuckled at how pathetic he sounded.

"Oh god do I miss her enchiladas!" Jessica closed her eyes already imagining those enchiladas in front of her, covered in red dipped tortillas with the cheese oozing out of each side as you can see and feel the steam rising. Wow, it was her favorite thing to each whenever she went to the Montez home." Look it's a little after one but do you want to go have lunch? And maybe we can go shopping to fill up these lonely walls." Jess grinned big hoping that this handsome man would say yes.

"Okay, but only a little bit cause I came back from breakfast at Maria's not that long ago." Daniel turned off his laptop and got up grabbing his keys.

"I knew I smelled her left over pancakes in your kitchen." Daniel chucked as he threw his arm around his friends shoulder walking out the room.

"So the bachelor party is tonight." Melisa said as she played with her fiancé's fingers keeping her ear pressed against his chest so she can listen to his heart beating against her ear. "Where are you guys going?"

"Okay so I won't lie. Johnny actually planned it so you can imagine what he will be thinking." James said looking down at his fiancé's fingers playing with his as he rubbed her back with his free hand.

"Strippers. Okay, I guess it's alright as long as your finger or 'manhood' stays where they are suppose to be!"

"Yes, baby. Don't worry. The strippers are mainly for Johnny and Danny."

"Eww, why my brother?"

"Yeah since he's single and this is first real good time out. He needs to enjoy himself and I will make sure of that." James said looking down at Melisa who had a disgusted face. "What? Too much?"

"Yeah just a little besides now that Marissa is back in town who knows what will happen with my brother's relationship status." She said sitting up looking down at her future husband.

"I do." James knew he did wrong the second his girlfriend of six years give him a bloodshot eye. "Damn, I wasn't suppose to say anything." He mumbled covering his face with his hands.

"Well too late. You are telling me now."

"Okay but you can't say anything until she says something." Melisa groaned not liking the deal but she coiled her pinky around his and kissed it. "Okay, well you know Tyler right."

"Yeah, her friend from Connecticut?"

"Well, they are not friends. They have actually been going out for the past three years."

"Why hasn't she mentioned anything?" she said being more curious into it.

"Because she knew you guys would make a big deal out of it."

"Will not?"

"Mel, just two seconds ago you wanted to set her back up with your brother." James sat up and took his lovers hands looking deep in her eyes. "Look we set them up six years ago when we were juniors but we are not in high school anymore. We can't play match makers. They are grown adults. They have to find their way together, but if what Marissa said to me is true. Then maybe this Tyler guy really is the one for her. We will just have to find out sooner or later."

"Ugh," Melisa turned around and leaned against James as he wrapped his arms around her. "I hate it when you are right."

"Don't you always." He chuckled and kissed her temple.

"No! That was not fair. The black cat was there. It was Friday the thirteenth and I was not going to get jinxed by a stupid black cat." Jessica said as she was walking around the mall with her old friend Daniel.

"It had white spots on it. It doesn't count if the cat has another color on it."

"I was not going to take my chances." She said and sat on the bench in front of a store.

"I really missed you Jessica. You are a really cool friend." Daniel said looking over at the beautiful brunette 22 year old.

"I missed you too Danny. I never realized how much fun we can have when it's just us two. It was always the three of us. You, me, and Marissa." They both nodded and chuckled.

"Oh god, imagine tomorrow night. We are the only ones that are going solo." He chuckled.

"Oh god, the rehearsal dinner. I totally forgot to pick out something for that." Jessica smacked her hand against her forehead.

"Well we are in front of a pretty good store. Pick something out and I will pay for it." Daniel said leaning back on the bench and hung his elbows on it. Daniel and Jessica sat there for the next couple minutes arguing about it being too much money and it being weird having him pay for her dress. In the end Daniel won. Of course he ended up dragging her into the store but he won. "Pick out any dress you want. I haven't done this since I bought something for Marissa for her birthday. I want to see how it feels to buy something for someone beautiful again." Jessica giggled and went to the tips of her toes and placed a sweet gentle kiss on his cheek. Daniel smiled and when he realized what store he walked into he closed his eyes thinking back to the day he was last in there with a certain dark-haired beauty.

"Come here babe!" Marissa Julie Montez leaded her boyfriend into Windsor, her favorite store.

"Where are you taking me?" whined her boyfriend of a year and a half, Daniel Alexander Bolton.

"Windsor."

"Windows?" asked a confused Daniel as she grabbed a piece of clothing from a dress.

"No Windsor. They sell amazing dresses." The brown eyed girl said looking through a rack of clothes.

"You have amazing dresses at home. Besides, you look amazing in anything." He pulled her chin up and kissed his girlfriend softly on the lips.

As much as she wanted to continue kissing him she pulled away slowly leaning her forehead on his not wanting to open her eyes because she knew if she opened them the image of the both of them in front of a crowd of people sitting in chairs looking at them getting married on a cliff at the crack of sunset over a clear blue ocean would be gone. She can already feel the wind blowing flowers onto her tan Latina skin. She can imagine the smile on his face and the twinkle in his eyes as she pulls away. She can imagine how handsome he looks in his black tuxedo and silver tie with a silver rose clipped onto his tuxedo pocket. She whispered something she knows she will say at that moment in time. "I love you. Forever-"

"-Until I die." Daniel finished and pecked her nose. "Okay, pick whatever dress you want. You don't even have to look at the price. Just try them on and if you absolutely love it I will buy it for you. "

"No, baby, most of the dresses here are pretty pricey." She said grabbed a dress using it as an example and showing him the price tag only to be covered by his hands.

"No go pick one. It's my gift for your birthday." She leaned up and kissed his cheek with a huge smile. He knew how much these dresses cost. That's the first thing he noticed as he walked in but he didn't care because he knew that the smile Marissa just gave him was all worth it. She was worth it. She was worth everything in the world. He couldn't imagine losing her ever in his life. If that day came he would never forgive himself especially since he was thinking on marrying this girl.

He looked over at her perfect body as she looked through the dresses and noticed every feature in her. Her dark brown eyes and how they twinkled every time he looked into them. How every time he looked into them he new nothing can be as sweet and kind and beautiful as they were.

He noticed how perfect her curves were and nothing can be as small and petite as they were. He noticed her legs. Sure they weren't long but they were smooth and he loved they moved.

He noticed her smile and nothing can be that perfect in the world and he couldn't believe that just by one of those towards him made it all better.

He noticed the way her long curly locks fell down her back and when she runs her fingers through them he is amazed how they fall back into perfect position.

But most importantly he noticed her and only her.

"So what do you think about this one Daniel?"

…..

"Daniel?" Daniel snapped his head back to reality and looked over at the chestnut haired girl in front of him holding a dress in front of her. "What do you think about this one?"

"Umm, it looks good. You should try it on." He said as Jessica looked down at the dress and agreed. As she walked back to the changing rooms he reached into his pockets and pulled out a picture. A picture he must have forgotten to get rid of.

A picture that always made his day.

A picture of Marissa.
