I planned this day for months now. I would send Bridgette to the salon in order to give me time the make tonight special. She would have no idea this would be coming. No matter what anyone says, I am pretty smart for 'The Party Animal.'

I woke Bridgy up at about ten. I surprisedher when I told her that I had booked a day at the beauty salon for her. But I could tell she wanted to go. She didn't even try to fight or struggle when I dropped her off at eleven.

As soon as I dropped her off, I made a call to this guy I knew named Henry who worked at Perfezionare le Memorie. Perfezionare le Memorie was an Italian restaurant, and if I had to remember one thing about Bridgette, it would have to be that she loves Italian food.

"So we still on tonight?" I had asked Henry on the phone as I was driving to the restaurant.

"Of course, Geoff! Meet me at the back when you get here!" he was excited about tonight. Maybe it wasn't everyday he got to plan something like this.

"Cool dude! Bye!" I hung up. I looked at my watch while I was being stopped at a red light. It was about twelve thirty. I decided to call Bridgette to give her time to get dressed up and ready.

"Hey, babe. I was thinking. You know, since your getting yourself all pretty and stuff, how about we go to a fancy restaurant? I got my paycheck the other day," I asked when she answered. I was hoping she would agree, for if she didn't, the whole day would be ruined!

Alright Geoff! You chose the ethics. Make it a surprise!" she told me in her excited tone.

I was silent for a moment. My mind was busy thinking of what the word 'ethics' meant. God! I feel so stupid!

"Ethics is the type of food, sweetie. Chinese, French, Mexican, get what I'm saying here?" it sounded like she was mad at me. I wanted to make her smile, not get annoyed. Here was the time to bring up the restaurant. I want to give her something to look forward to.

"What about Italian? I know how much you love pasta!" I hoped this would make her happy, and not think I was stupid.

"Sounds good to me!" she added, excitement filled her voice.

"Do you mind taking the bus or taxi, Bridgy? I'm real busy with the car," I realized that she would have to find her own way home. I couldn't pick her up, I was too busy.

"Sure. The taxi can't be that bad, right?" she slightly chuckled. I was glad I was off the hook!

"Alright. Bye Bridgette. I'll call you later to tell you where it is," I hung up real quickly since I just arrived to the back entrance of the restaurant. As I got out of my car, I saw Henry waiting at the back entrance.

"'Bout time you got here! Now, I planned for our band to play an Itailan love song while the caterers bring in the champain with the ring!" he was getting a little too excited with this.

"Well, I was thinking I could give her the ring instead of it being in food," I confessed.

"Alright, well, I could arrange them to play Italian love songs all night. And then after desert maybe you could give it to her?" Henry asked.

"I feel like your the one who planned this. But yeah, that's what I was thinking," I felt proud of myself.

"Wonderful! Now, how about you go get a tux?" Henry asked me. I felt like he was getting a little too attached to this.

"Ok, dude. But how about I go shopping for my tux. Alone?" I asked. I hope he didn't think he would be coming.

"Yeah. Of course," I think he felt a little disappointed.

"Alright dude. Thanks for everything!" I said before I left. I jumped into my car and called Bridgette one more time.

"Hey, babe! Are you almost ready? I got us reservations to Perfezionare le Memorie at seven thirty. So, I'll meet you there!" I rushed the words. I quickly hung up afterwords. I didn't want to get wound up in a conversation when I was struggling with time.

As I checked my watch, it said six o'clock. I have never been tuxedo shopping (mainly, because I never have worn a tux) but I knew it would take time. As I parked at a Tuxedo's for Always, I quickly rushed into the building. I grabbed about 5 tuxes that looked like they would fit me.

"Is this the fitting room?" I asked a lady at the cash register. She nodded her head, and I ran into the fitting room, desperate to get to the restaurant before Bridgette. I tried on the tuxes, and realized that I am horrible when it comes to sizes. I got to the last tuxedo and was glad when it fit me. It was small, but nothing I couldn't fit into. I ran to the cash register, still wearing the tux, and asked if she could scan me up while I was wearing it.

She acted like she's seen this before. She only did the same nod as earlier and pressed a couple buttons on the the register.

"That will be $200, please," she said in a soft voice. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. For a tuxedo! They want $200! That is crazy! I thought, but didn't say anything. I needed something to wear, even if it did cost that much.

...

It was about seven fifteen when I got to the entrance of the restaurant. I stood out by the front entrance, waiting for Bridgette to arrive. When I heard a voice call my name, I quickly turned around.

Bridgette was running towards me, and as she got closer to me, I extended my arms out so I could give her a hug. She quickly gave me a kiss on the lips, which, for some odd reason made her slightly giggle. She reached for a napkin from her purse and wiped my lips.

"Hey babe! You look good!" I commented on her looks. The dress she wore brought out the color of her eyes. And, it made her look really hot.

"Thanks, Geoffy. You know, you don't look to bad yourself! Look at the star!" she pointed to the stars. Well, star.

"Make a wish!" I put my arms around her waist and heard her chant something. I quickly realized what she was doing, and mimiced her.

"Star bright, shine bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight," I thought of the things to wish for. But what I really wanted was simple.

I hope she says 'Yes,' I thought, a small smile formed from my lips while I rubbed the small velvet box that held a ring.

"Did you make your wish?" I asked Bridgette, whose eyes were still closed.

"Yep," she says quickly and than kisses my lips one more time.

"Time to go in, ready?" I checked my watch and asked her. I put my left arm in such a way that Bridgette could wrap her arm around mine.

"You bet!" she wrapped her right arm around mine.

I was curious for what Bridgette's wish was. But when we got the desert, my wish came true. And that's all that mattered.

I don't plan to make every character relate to someone. But I kinda thought that these two needed to be with each other, even if it meant that I had to write the story twice. I really don't think this is the best chapter I have done, but it's a start, right?
