Alexandra slid the purple off the shoulder dress over her head. Staring into the mirror she shook her head in approval. This had been the sixth dress that she tried on within the past ten minutes. Tonight had to be perfect, as it was their one year anniversary. It was hard to imagine that their relationship had spanned so long, especially when she wasn’t looking for a boyfriend to begin with. Now, a year later she relished the time she spent with Billy. They built the relationship she swore she would never have. Now that she had it, she couldn’t imagine living without him. Billy had turned out to be a major part of her life. A part, she planned on never giving up. Relationships and Alexandra didn’t go hand it in. It went back to her childhood where she moved town to town with her parents, never having enough of time t make friends and built any kind of a bond with anyone. Sure she had her parents, but they were always working and left her in the care of a nanny, who let h...

When I look at you, I can’t help but remember the first time I saw you. When you looked at me, I felt a tingle overtake my body. I felt a warming to your boyish grin, walking away from you, wishing that I had said more. As time past by, I got to know you better. I knew that there would be magic between us. When I close my eyes I see your face, and calmness takes over my body. What I feel inside scares me to death. My heart has never stirred like this before. So many times I wanted to ask you if you have ever been adored, given a woman’s heart and soul, and unconditional love. But I didn’t. My feelings for you are sacred. It’s your mind and compassion that has captivated my heart, not your physical being. I want to be the one that gives you true happiness. I want to spin your world, showing you that life is so precious, worth living every moment of it in the present. I truly believe that we have to live for today, because tomorrow may never come. Time and time again I’ve been told that ...
