Jen woke up the next morning in her uniform and picked up her school bag. Checking the blackberry, there were no new messages and sighed. Her mother came downstairs.
"Already for school? I was hoping perhaps we could go wedding dress shopping this afternoon after school." She said and Jen looked at her.
"Well I was hoping that Gabriel wasn't a freaking werewolf." Jen snapped and instantly felt bad. She had slept horrible last night and was edgy because of it.
"Sorry mom, I'm just stressed and I didn't sleep at all last night." Jen apologized to her and her mother nodded.
"I can understand that. How about skipping school and we hit the spa and go dress shopping instead?" She suggested and Jen perked up.
"That's the best thing you've said in a week." Jen replied. They went wedding dress shopping first, Jen lost count at how many styles and sizes she tried on. She was giving up hope when she spied one on the back rack. It was slightly off white silk, an off the shoulder style, with a low cut front, turning it around it had the same type back with a short lace train. Jen looked at her mom who nodded. Quickly they got her into it and Jen loved it, she pulled the straps up just a bit so they sat on top of her shoulders and glanced to the sales woman.
"Can you adjust it so it's like this?" She asked and the woman nodded.
"Of course, it will take a few days though." She said and Jen looked at her reflection.
"I'll take it." Jen said and her mother beamed. They spent the rest of the day at the spa getting their toes done and a quick massage. Jen was feeling way better and decided to call Gabriel.
"Hey sweet heart, want me to pick you up from school?" He answered and Jen smiled, she couldn't help it she loved hearing his voice.
"No I skipped school today." She replied and he paused.
"Where are you?" He asked a little tensely.
"Well I went wedding dress shopping and now mom and I are just leaving the spa." Jen replied and he sighed.
"You like giving me a heart attack don't you?" He said and Jen laughed.
"I might. Have to keep you on your toes." She teased.
"Well its Friday, why don't we do dinner and a movie or something?" Gabriel suggested and Jen bit her lip.
"Well I was kind of hoping maybe you'd go to that party with me. If it isn't too high school for you? I kinda told my friends I'd be going." She said a little nervously.
"I keep forgetting your only 18 and quiet nights at home together probably don't appeal to you as much as they do to me. Yeah let's go to that party. I'll pick you up around nine. I have to run to a meeting. I love you." He said and Jen froze, what did he just say?
"Did you just…" She started and he chuckled.
"Yeah I did…just seemed kind of natural I guess. I suppose that's not very romantic to do it on the phone for the first time." Gabriel said and Jen smiled.
"I'll see you at nine." She said then hung up. Nine came way too fast for Jen she was still doing her make up when the doorbell rang. Quickly she adding some lip gloss and grabbed her jacket. Her father was already letting Gabriel into the living room and they both stopped looking at her coming down the stairs. She was in a short jean mini and a dark red tube top, her usual party outfit and Gabriel frowned a little.
"Um sweetheart where's the rest of your skirt?" He asked and Jen frowned right back at him.
"I always wear something like this to parties." She replied getting to the bottom of the stairs.
"That's fine when you weren't engaged, I'm not sure I'm alright with that outfit." He said and Jen put her hands on her hips.
"Well it's a good thing you don't have to wear it then." She said and he shook his head and glanced to her father.
"Well you will be there with her, which has to help a bit." Jen's Father said and Gabriel snorted.
"Let's go." He said to Jen and they headed out to his car and Jen grinned a little.
"What's that smirk for?" He asked opening the door.
"I think that's the first time I've gone out of the house without my dad telling me what time to be home." She said getting in the car and he grinned.
"That's because he knows you'll only get in trouble with me tonight." Gabriel said then shut the door.
Reviews please please!! I've done 11 chapters in one day and I'm thinking I might do a few more. This will most likely be a super long story at the rate I'm going!
