Isabelle's POV

Everett and I check out of the beautiful hotel, I look back at it and give it one more look, smiling as all the memories of last night come flooding back into my mind.

Everett is taking me to a boutique his mom loves to get me an outfit for tonight.

He insists on treating me to a new outfit for dinner instead of letting me just change into something in my closet.

He's spoiling me, and I feel bad about it.

I just hope he knows i'm nothing like Holly, and don't expect all these nice things in life.

I'm excited to meet his mom tonight, but extremely nervous.

Especially since i'm Everett's girlfriend now.

I can't believe i'm a girlfriend again.

His girlfriend.

Am I wrong for already moving on?

I doubt myself and my ability to be all that Everett needs.

What if I don't satisfy him enough?

What if he gets bored of me now that he finally has me after all this time?

I stop my negative thinking and continue looking out the window, admiring the beautiful town we're in.

We arrive at the boutique in a small strip small, and it catches my eye immediately.

"In The Ivy." The lit up pink sign reads.

"We're here pretty girl." Everett parks up front, coming around to get my door, as always.

We walk into the beautiful store, and an older lady comes running over hugging Everett.

"Everett! I haven't seen you in too long. Lisa was just in here a month ago!" The old woman, looks over to me with the sweetest smile i've ever seen.

I reach my hand out to shake hers, and she immediately wraps me into a hug.

"It's nice to meet you Isabelle, i've heard a lot about you." She studies my appearance.

"He told me a lot, especially how much he loves-"

"Okay that's enough out of you Debbie, can you show my girlfriend around please?" Everett turns red.

I don't think i've ever seen Everett embarrassed before.

I'm quite disappointed that he interrupted Debbie though, i'm intrigued to know what all he's said.

"I called Debbie ahead of time to let her know we were coming, I wanted to make sure she had things you would like." Everett turns to me, melting my heart with his consideration.

"Thank you, even though, how do you know what I like to wear?" I giggle turning to admire all the clothing pieces surrounding the boutique.

"I did my research, and I have my ways." Everett smirks while leaning against the wall.

Debbie shows me around, making small talk with me.

"Everett is a sweet man isn't he? He's been through a lot in his 22 years." Debbie puts a shirt against me, measuring it with her eyes to see if it would work, and puts it back on the rack.

"He's the best, I can't even put into words how lucky I am." I smile at Debbie.

I continue to look around, having a hard time finding what to try on with how many options there are.
