Garrett
He watched Harmony look at the dress his mother had helped him to buy. It was displayed in
their bedroom, on a mannequin, so she could see it in full. It was a black and white dress; all
soft white satin with black lace over the bust and down to her waist, with that lace capped
over her shoulders.
The skirt was a high–low design; it was all white, with black lace on the inside of the back of
the skirt, made it very pretty to look at and that lace could be seen like a very small hem
coming from the inside of the front of the skirt. She was going to look stunning.
The back of the high–low skirt of the dress went all the way to the floor at the back and only
came to Harmony’s knees at the front. They showered and dressed, and she looked absolutely stunning in it. His mother had picked up white heels to go with it, though Harmony could have
worn black heels, those white heels seemed to just complete the outfit perfectly, stood out
against the black lace of the back of the skirt.
He was watching her stand there looking at it, in the mirror of their walk–in, as she smiled at the dress, and turned this way and that as she looked at it. Her eyes met his in the mirror. “It’s
beautiful Garrett.” She told him.
“I’m glad you like it.” he smiled, he was dressed and ready to go, wearing a three–piece suit, all black with a crisp white shirt and silver tie. He had tailored that tie to the white gold of her engagement ring. His jacket was undone, and she could see the vest under it as he leaned on
the door frame watching her.
She often saw him in a suit at the office, but not a three–piece suit like this one, and her eyes wandered over him. He almost asked her if she liked what she saw, but that would stop them from going to dinner. If he got the answer he wanted, it would likely have him pull her into their
bed.
She’d left her hair out today, just pinned one side of it back, and she was wearing dark pink lipstick, told him it matched all the flowers she’d gotten from him, and he’d chuckled; like that.
He’d helped her into the coat that was waiting for her, and even that was lovely, and had pockets for her to put her hands in when outside in the cold of the night. It was a lovely white coat, with a wide lapel and faux fur around the collar, and had a cape overlay that covered her chest, and a wide belt to keep it closed. It was thick and warm; his mother had thought of
everything.

He was looking at Harmony, and he thought he might just have to send his mother on a nice
vacation for all the help she’d given him today. She’d outdone herself, he thought, she’d put a
lot of effort and care into this outfit, as much as he had done in choosing the perfect dress.
They walked into the restaurant, and he smiled as the lady took their coats, “Goddess you’re
beautiful.” He murmured as he pressed his lips to her temple in a soft kiss. “We should come
out and eat once a week, make it a date night, and you should dress up every time.” He smiled
at her.
She simply shook her head a little at him, “Honestly, once in a while, going out like this is better, it will have more meaning to it, than if we did this all the time.”
He nodded “Alright, so your and my birthday, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries.” He smiled at her as they walked to their table, “though that will clash with Christmas Day.” He added before she picked anything else from his words.
She was apparently oblivious to it, just nodded and smiled, “We could make it Christmas Eve.”
She stated as they reached their table.
“Hmm, now if we’re going to play around with the dates we could move it to anything we like.”
he stated as he held her chair out for her.
This restaurant was romantically lit, and there were many other couples sitting eating and chatting among themselves. He saw her smile and reach out and touch the flowers on the table. They were in a round box that had the words Happy Birthday Harmony written on it.
“More flowers.” She murmured.
“Yes, lots of flowers for your birthday.” He nodded as he placed a gentle kiss to her neck and then walked around to sit opposite her. “What can I say, I want to lavish you with flowers.” He shrugged a little, “there might be more in the apartment when we get home.” He smiled at her.
She’d gotten a single flower yesterday, woken up to flowers on that breakfast trolley this morning, and there had been more when they’d gotten home that afternoon. There would be more in their bedroom when they got home tonight as well, a full vase to either side of the
bed.
She shook her head. “You don’t need to spoil me.”
“I want to.” He told her “You’ll get used to it.”
“Only on big occasions then.” She stated right back.
He’d just nodded, there was soft classical music playing in the restaurant, and they looked at

the menu and ordered, sat and just talked about the things she wanted to do, places she would maybe like to go on that vacation he was going to start planning.
He’d smiled right at her “I’ll get us a nice secluded private beach.” He had smirked happily at
her “We can have some real fun in the sand and surf.”
“Stop that,” she’d smiled at him. “Don’t even think about it.”
- “Too late.” He chuckled “you know I always find ways to think about it.”
“Yes, I know.” She laughed softly and reached out to pick up her glass of water, and he smiled right at her.
“I’m a horny beast.” He winked at her, and she reached out with her left hand to whack him
with it, and he caught it easily, and held on to it. Smiled at her, knew that one phrase here in this setting, would see her try and hit him playfully, and only her left hand was free.
“Marry me.” He stated as he looked right at her, his other hand slipping into his pocket, he produced that ring he’d purchased and held it for her to see briefly, before slipping it right on to her ring finger.
She was just staring at him a little wide–eyed, seemed he’d been able to keep that one from
her completely. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it softly, drawing her attention from
him to the ring on her finger.
It was a lovely white gold Tiffany T, narrow paved diamond ring, that symbolised love’s endless potential. He’d thought she’d like the simplicity of it, while he still got to present her with some bling. Understated and beautiful was how he thought of it, and he’d picked up a matching plain white gold one for himself to match hers for their wedding day.
All those diamonds sparkled as she lifted her hand from his and looked at it, saw the
diamonds go all the way around the band as she turned her hand over. Garrett watched her
bite her lip a little, as she put her glass of water down and reached out to touch it, smiled a
little, he thought it suited her small petite hands as well.
Her eyes finally moved to him, and she nodded “Yes.” She answered as simply as he had
asked.
He stood up and walked around the table to her, knelt down and touched her lovely face, as she looked at him with a soft smile on her face, “I love you, Harmony.” He told her and leaned forwards to kiss her in a soft lingering kiss. She smiled at him when he leaned back.
“I love you too, Garrett.” She told him, and then she leaned forward and hugged him tightly,” You’re the devil, you know. I didn’t see that coming.”

He chuckled softly “Your mine forever now, you can never ever leave me now.” he growled a little softly at her.
“Like I would leave you.” she murmured softly, pulled back, and as he stood up, she eyed him over “Not when i have a body like yours to play with every night.” She winked at him playfully.
He laughed “Goddess, Harm, you’re perfect for me, do you know that.” He loved it, how she
could just tease him openly in a serious moment. It was what he always did to her. Turning seriousness into a bit of fun and playfulness, that cheekiness he’d seen the day of the Christmas party was right there for him to see.
She was a lot like him in many ways, she just needed to be really comfortable in her
surroundings to play with him like that.
She ate cake with him, and they slow danced to the music on the restaurant’s dance floor, and
he got to watch her look at her ring many times, and just smile, “It’s perfect Garrett,” she told
him as she looked at it once more while her hand was resting on his chest as they danced.
“I spent a lot of time trying to decide on what you would like, something soft and gentle I
thought was best.” He tilted her face up to his, smiled down at her “Just like you are.” His mouth met hers for a lingering kiss.
“Though don’t ever tell me how much it cost.” She shook her head, “I don’t want to know, but,”
she smiled up at him, “I would have accepted something from an arcade ball machine.”
He laughed “Now that was never going to happen. But we can go to an arcade and have some
fun if you like.”
“Not today,” she shook her head “I have a feeling your mother is probably waiting for the
outcome of this dinner.”
He chuckled “Mm, she won’t be the only one. Everyone is, my family and the boys, their wives, sorry, but they all knew.”
She just shook her head, “Kind of expected as much, you’re very close to them all.”
“If your parents were alive, Harm, I’d have told them, and they too would be waiting back at the apartment complex for the outcome.”
She shook her head. “They didn’t live here.”
“I’d have flown them in secretly.” He murmured softly.
