The Singles Party

He thought we’re crazy when we showed up with all this stuff, but he smiled and thanked us for our help." Dad, you have to do a fashion show for us. How are we going to know which one looks the best on you? You’ve to show up at the party as the man who looks the best in his suit.” Lisa started clapping and dad had no words. He took the garment bags and went to his room. He came back out in a few minutes wearing the Armani and he looked really handsome in it. We took pictures of him while he modeled the suit for us. We did the same thing with all three suits and then we put all three pictures together and picked the one that he looked the most handsome in. After fifteen minutes of debate the Armani suit won. Now all he had to do was get ready to dazzle the women at the party. He should come home with at least ten to fifteen phone numbers.
Kyle decided to come over and keep my company after dad left for the party. Lisa went home to help her mother get dressed for the party. Kyle and I decided to watch a movie and ordered a pizza. After the movie we started talking about me transferring to New York University for the fall semester. I had secretly started the process by applying to the admission department at the university. Once everything was completed I was going to surprise him with the news, but since he brought up the subject I might as well tell him now. “ I submitted my admission application to the university last week. I requested my transcript from Boston University be sent to the school.” he was smiling from ear to ear. “ they said it should take a week or so to get an answer about my acceptance.” Then he asked me “ you could move in with me at my apartment. Besides, it is also your apartment anyway, since we’re already married.” I looked at him and started laughing “ We’re already married? When did that happen?” He hugged me and said “ the wedding ceremony is just a formality. In my eyes you’re already my wife.” I thought that was so sweet.
The next morning dad and I were having breakfast and he started telling me about the party from last night. He had a big smile on his face and I could tell he had a really good time. “ Tell me all the details dad. Did you meet anyone that caught your eye?” He pulled out his phone and showed me the phone numbers of three different women. I was hoping for at least ten, but I will take three. He had this arrogant smile on his face, as if he was telling me he is the man. “ Look at you dad, you became a playboy overnight.” We both started laughing at my antics. I am really happy that he is giving himself a chance to start over. Even if he doesn’t find a wife, at least he could go on dates and have a good time.
The next day the girls and I decided to take our European trip in August, with the boys tagging along of course. This well needed trip will be a break from the madness of the arranged marriage and that stalker Heather. I am really looking forward to this trip and exploring Europe. I have always read how beautiful the Italian countryside was and I was looking forward to seeing it myself. Kyle and I have been spending a lot of time with both our families during this time. Our families loved spending time together. Dad and Mr Grant started spending time together playing golf and hanging out at the country club. Melisa and I have gotten close as well and I have invited her on shopping trips with me and the girls a few times. The Grants invited me and my family to spend a weekend with them at their house in the Hamptons. Grandma loved the Hamptons so much she is currently looking for a house there to buy.
Our vacation to Europe was amazing. We went to Rome, Italy and Greece. We went to the Vatican Museums in Rome and I loved it. We had a great time visiting Italian vineyards and the countryside. The Italian countryside was as beautiful if not more than I expected. Standing in the colosseum in Rome where they held the gladiator games and other events to entertain the masses was surreal to me. Plus the fact that the colosseum was still standing after so many years, is also amazing. My favorite place in Greece was Santorini. The architecture of the homes and buildings were so unique. But I fell in love with their beaches. The water was so beautiful and it kept telling me not to leave. Okay, maybe that was my mind telling me not to leave, but at least all of me agree I shouldn’t leave. The girls felt the same way about the beaches in Santorini. We all agree that ten days was not long enough to see everything I wanted to see and do. We needed at least a week in each country next time. I told Kyle I want our honey to be in Greece and he agreed.
