Wow!

Wow Allison, you look beautiful.” I say staring a little to long.

“I have to keep up appearances, can’t have a wealthy man like yourself seen with a commoner now can we.” She walks to the table her hips swaying with every step hypnotizing me with her beauty.

“I think they’ll love you either way.” I say sitting back in my chair as she sits down across from me. “And between the two of us that dress looks better on the bedroom floor.”

“Now mister Williams treat me to a good night, and we may just test your little theory.”

A whole year building up to this moment. I’m gonna make this a night to remember certainly. I wave to the waitress and she brings us a bottle of Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1951 this bottle cost more than my hand did, but tonight it’s time to celebrate. I pop the top off the bottle and pour two glasses.

“Here’s to the most beautiful girl in the restaurant.” I toast holding my glass to Allison who has already finished hers.”

Allison grabs the bottle and holds it against my glass.

“And here’s to good wine.”

The night goes by fast Allison and I drink the whole bottle of wine and get a second just for the hell of it. Allison stares at me for a few seconds with a curious look on her face.

“What is it?”

“I don’t know it’s like your happy, it’s a good look on you.”

“It’s been a while. So there is something I need to tell you.” I stand up from my chair and walk over to her side of the table

“Allison Kylie.”

“Yes Alex.”

“CRASH!”

My leg gets swept out from under me as I get dragged through the picture window. My last fleeting moments before unconsciousness are spent watching my mothers ring fall to the ground out of my pocket. Flashes of my life go through my mind; my parents, my friends, and Allison.
