Richard couldn't believe they were going to be landing in Alabama in just a short 30 minutes; the hours on the plane just flew by. He slept on the plane for only two hours while his fiancé on the other hand just woke up a mere five minutes ago. Her head was on his shoulder as she wiped the tiredness from her eyes. He never understood how no matter how long or crazily Kori slept her hair never got messy, which amazed him for some weird reason. He often wondered how she ended up falling in love with him. I mean she is gorgeous beyond compare, but not only that she's funny, smart, compassionate, and of course stubborn. She was the ideal girl of every guys dreams he was just the one that got lucky. She was perfect for him and he knew it, even though they've only been together for a short two and a half months, he couldn't imagine his life without her.
"What are you thinking about?" Kori asked lightly through a large yawn.
"Nothing really." He replied looking down at her a soft smile on his stubbly face.
"Don't nothing me; you were wearing your thinking face. So I ask again what were you thinking about?" She questioned again though a playful smirk lit up her features.
"You." Richard said stroking cheek.
"Good things I hope." She smiled at him.
"Only the best." He said honestly before she pecked his lips.
"I love you." She spoke sweetly.
"I love you to." He replied happily as he kissed her lips again.
"So are you excited?" Kori asked as she placed her head back onto his shoulder, and her hand in his.
"Very. Bisnonna has been calling nonstop since I left." Richard chuckled rubbing his thumb over the back of her left hand; he noticed her eyes were focused on the ring.
"What was she like?" The redhead asked suddenly.
"Who?" Richard asked confused.
"Your mother, you don't talk about her. I guess I'm just curious." She rambled as she felt him stiffen from her question. "You don't have to tell me about her if you don't want to."
"Her name was Janelle, She was the most sentimental person I've ever met, I mean the woman would cry at the drop of a hat. She was beautiful fair skin, crisp crystal blue eyes and dark brown curly hair. Janelle was a real character, she could trick my dad and I to do anything with just a blink of an eye. God she was smart always had a correct answer for any question you asked, you couldn't ever trick her either since she was as sharp as a tack. She would always sing no matter what she was doing, she had a nice voice very calming and sweet, but when she danced that was a different story. Janelle didn't have an ounce of rhythm in her whole body, though she'd fight you on that and tell you otherwise. Every time I'd tell her I loved her she would always respond with " To the moon and back." She was everything and more I could have ever wanted in a mom." Richard told her. Kori processed the information for a moment before she spoke.
"She sounds amazing, I wish I could meet her." Kori admitted making him chuckle a bit.
"I wish you could to, she would have loved you right off the bat. Especially my dad I don't think he'd let you leave there house, even if you tried." Richard laughed quietly making her smile though it quickly faded.
"I wish I had that." Kori mumbled softly.
"What?"
"The good memories you had with them, I can't recall any with my parents. But then again my parents don't even like me, so I shouldn't be surprised." Kori sighed.
"Sweetheart, I'm sure they love you they just…" Richard tried.
"Rich, John tells me he hates me all the time and how much of a mistake I am. Grace turned on me when I was six, I would travel with her a lot when I was a kid and some business partner she had years ago. He was really nice and funny, but once Grace turned on me I never saw him again." Kori shrugged.
"He says that to you?" Richard asked heartbroken for her.
"Yea, but what do you expect from the worst father in history." Kori asked with a sad smile.
"You're far from a mistake, you know that don't you?" Richard asked timidly squeezing her hand tightly within his own.
"I do now." She said "Not going to lie to you though, I felt like I was for really long time. I didn't at first, but once you hear the same thing for so long you start to believe it." Kori stated honestly.
"I promise you're never going to feel like that ever again." Richard murmured making Kori give a soft smile before kissing his lips.
"I know." She responded running her fingers through his hair.
" Hello passengers, we will be landing in Alabama in just a few short minutes. So please take your seats and buckle up, and we hope you enjoyed your flight with us."
"Dad I'm 100% sure that's them." Whispered a teenage girl who was sitting next to her father across from the young couple.
" Emily you've been saying that for the past six hours. Why don't you just ask them?" Her father whispered back to her, making the young couple break into a smile.
"Uh… excuse me." The girl asked meekly.
"Yea?" Richard answered since he was on the outside, while Kori leaned forward to see the girl's eyes go wide when she got a good look at the redhead singer.
"Oh my god! Dad I told you it was them." Emily squealed. "Kori you're even more beautiful in person!"
"Thank you, you are very pretty to." Kori giggled.
"Are you guys engaged?" The teenage girl asked as she stared at the huge rock on Kori's finger.
"Yes we are." Richard said taking Kori's hand in his own.
"You guys look so cute together! Do you think I could get a picture with you guys once we get off?" The girl asked hope in her voice.
"Absolutely, where do you get your hair done? It's so pretty." Kori beamed looking at the girl's short blonde bob.
" I cut it actually, I have to do my senior project for school about helping out the community. So I am doing a locks of love, I basically just document every persons hair I cut and take pictures of them while they get it cut." Emily smiled.
"Wow, that's really cool. What made you want to do that?" Richard asked impressed.
"Oh I'm going to school for cosmetology, so I'm getting practice. And my mother passed away from cancer a three years ago." Emily explained as her father squeezed her hand tightly.
"Would you do any better if you cut a celebrities' hair?" Kori asked skeptically with a small smile.
"Are you kidding of course." Emily smiled. "Wait what are you getting at?"
"Well my hair is passed my knees, and a little change could be good." Kori hinted making Emily squeal.
"Are you serious?" Emily asked clearly awe struck her father as well as the plane began to land.
"As a heart attack, you willing to do it?" Kori asked.
"Uh hell yes! We live 10 minutes from the airport, can we do it when we get off?" Emily practically begged.
"Sure, is that alright with you Richie?" Kori questioned biting her lip making him smile.
"Perfectly fine, you need a haircut." Richard joked as all the passengers on the plane began to stand.
…..
"Thank you guys so much for doing this." Jason Emily's father told Richard for what must have been the eighteenth time.
"Jason really it's no problem Kor needed a haircut for a while now." Richard laughed. " It's been a little over an hour, when do you think they'll be finished?"
"Probably within a couple minutes, Em probably wants to make sure everything goes perfect." Jason rolled his eyes though a smile was on his face.
"I'm sure she will do fine, her hair looks great."
"I must say this has to be some of my best work. It looks amazing since your hair is so naturally wavy." Emily beamed as she made her way into the living room where the men were waiting. "Wait don't come out yet I need to introduce it!"
"Kor do you like it?" Richard hollered to his fiancé.
"Oh my god Rich I am in love with it!" Kori beamed.
"Ok without further ado Kori Anders." Emily said as Kori walked out, damn did her hair look cute yet sexy. It was extremely wavy and it laid a couple inches off her shoulders, it framed her heart shaped face perfectly. Richard wasn't going to lie he absolutely loved it. "Well what do you guys think?"
"Wow… I love it a lot. It looks amazing on you." Richard admired.
"I do to." Kori said running her fingers through her hair.
"I'm so happy you like it. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity and all the pictures, and of course following me on twitter." Emily burst.
" No problem, when I need another haircut I'm definitely coming to you." Kori spoke as she hugged Emily tightly.
" I hate to ruin the moment love, but Bruce just texted me and Bisnonna is getting highly impatient." Richard said looking at his phone.
"Alright, well we better get going. I'll see you in a couple months for my next haircut?"Kori questioned.
"Absolutely. Thank you guys so much." Emily said.
"No Problem." The young couple said simultaneously.
"Bye!" Emily and Jason yelled as they watched the couple walk out the door.
"How mad do you think Bisnonna is that we are late?" Kori questioned as they got into the red Ferrari Bruce had waiting for them at the airport.
" On a scale of one to ten probably an eleven." Richard mumbled.
"Shit…." Kori groaned before they sped off to finally meet his family. Little did she know Bisnonna was the least she had to be worried about.
