The Purple Shots

A Paisley Party part nine

We pulled up to my hotel and Prince walked me up to my room.  He waited patiently, sitting on the sofa as I packed a few items in my suitcase. It was then That I noticed that my purple dress  I was wearing would clash with his nice red suit. "I cant have that happen" I said to myself. It just so happened that while me and Joanna was shopping for our dresses for the party I had saw a red dress that caught my eye. I later went back and brought the dress.  Talk about things coming together!. I opened the closet and pulled out the dress,  held it up and examined it. " This is 

prefect " I thought.  It will match perfect with what he is wearing.

It was a reminder to always be prepared.  I quickly got out my purple dress and put the red one on. " I won't be much longer" I called out to him from the room. I didn't want him to think that I would take a long time to get ready. " No rush" I heard him call back. Now, did I have red shoes to go with this out fit? I looked though my shoes. As it turned out I loved color so I had different color shoes. "I know I had some red shoes" I said to myself while still looking for the right pair. that's when I found what I was looking for. A big smile came across my face. "Perfect" I thought.

I quickly packed the rest of the items. I went into the bathroom took one look at myself and did some last minute freshen up and headed out the room. " I 'am ready" I said then noticed his hazel eyes focused on me. "Wow!" he said in a deep voice. I tried to not blush, but I'am sure I failed." I didn't want to clash with your outfit". I said. "Good move, well lets go mama" he said. That use of the word "Mama" would always get me. It was  just how he said it. he led me out the door.One thing I knew for sure. I was going to  dinner with Prince and I was going to enjoy this

moment. My hand felt tingly at his touch as he held my hand as we made our way to the car and once again he held the door open for me and helped with my suitcase sliding in the seat next to me. He then told the driver where to head to. Being so close to him I could smell the pleasant lavender. I always thought that was just some made up thing, but now I knew it was not. "So tell me a little about yourself" he said. I couldn't believe it!, Prince wanted to know about me!. "Okay, you can do this, Just be calm" I said to myself. " Well, I'am from memphis, my family moved to Illinois when I was seven, 

I have one older brother and one older sister " I stopped to look at him to make sure I wasn't rambling on. He held my eyes and nodded with a smile to let me know  to continue." I work with physically  challenged children, helping them to build skills, in my free time I love to cook or go to sports events" I said. I saw the spark in his eyes. Must be because I mentioned working with children and sports events. " How is it working with the children?" he asked. " I love it" I said. It was also amazing that Prince invited me to stay at Paisley a few days around the time I had vacation time. Amazing how things was seeming to happen.

" Children are a delight" I said. "Indeed they are" Prince said. I could hear the longing in his voice and I knew that the reaction was genuine. "Are you close with your parents?" he asked. "My mother yes, my father and I, we are distant" I said honestly. Prince had no comment to this and I knew why. I watched interviews with him, Prince respected his father and never said anything truly bad about him, but from his  tone and reaction I could tell that the relationship was not a easy one for him. This was confirmed when he changed the subject. " So what sports do you like?" he asked. " I like basketball and boxing mostly , sometimes I can get into golf" I said.

A huge smile came across his face. It seemed like he was about to say something else, but then we arrived at the restaurant. "We're here" he said.
