I was going to finally meet up with Michael's family. His cousin Sandy was coming back. With her husband Danny. I had heard so much about Sandy from Michael as well as Frenchie.
Frenchie was back in town to meet up with Sandy and a girl name Rizzo. Some older Pink Ladies. I knew most of them. Back when I was made head of the Pink Ladies back before my senior year of high school.
I was excited about getting together with everyone. I hoped to learn how Danny and Sandy's marriage was going after high school. I never thought much about marriage.
Now I thought about marriage a lot since Michael came into my life. He made me want to be married. To have a family. Maybe if their marriage was going well, I wound consider marrying. One day.
I get dressed up for Michael. He was in the shower getting ready. I wear a dress and a cotton sweater. It was baby pink. The skirt was a light pink with hints of purple in it.
I had on some Mary Jane shoes. Black ones. I place a heart locket around my neck. I remembered where I got it. I take it off. Johnny once had given that to me. That would not look good going to a party wearing jewelry from my ex. I needed some new jewelry soon.
Maybe Paulette would go shopping with me soon. I needed to make some more time for my friends.

"You look beautiful Steph" Michael sweetly tells me as he heads in my room wearing nothing but a towel. He was drying his wet hair with a towel. He looked so adorable. He made my heart race.
"Me? Look at you?" I giggle. "can you wear that to the party?" I tease.
"Ah no!" Michael laughs being all proper as he blushed. He pulls me in his embrace. Then kisses me.
He was warm from his shower. He smelled nice and soapy.
"You smell great" I softly say.
"Well we don't have time to undress you" he jokes. "I better get ready go to"
"I am super excited to meet your cousin" I tell him.
"You will love Sandy" he promises me.
"And Danny used to be a Tbird?" I ask.
"Right!" he answers me.
"I met Sandy a long, long time ago. I don't really remember her. This was back when Rizzo made me a head Pink Lady during the start of my senior year" I explain to him.
I had been dating Johnny at the time. Danny had picked Johnny to be a head Tbird. So naturally I was picked to be head of the Pink Ladies. Now Paulette was more of the leader. And in school we appointed her sister to be head of the new Pink Ladies at the school. Her sister was geeked about it. We knew she would keep the Pink Lady traditions alive for us.
Think Pink!

"Danny was happy when they all accepted me in the group, and I dated you" says Michael.
"I am glad" I giggle.
We were done getting ready. I was going to ride Michael's bike over to the party at his cousins home. I hoped his family would all like me. I was a little nervous.
Sandy was from his country to. Australia. I would love to go over there and see what it was like. I never had even been out of my home state. Much less going over to another country. It would be exciting to travel with Michael.
"I love you. I know my family will love you to" Michael promises me as he holds me close.
"You are so sweet" I softly answer. He kisses me.
"Remember when we all thought you were dead? Back during senior year?" I mention.
"But I had not crashed" he reminds me.
"I was devastated. I never had a chance to tell you I loved you. Then you showed up at the party. And I found out you were Michael. How thrilled I was you were alive. How surprised we all were that you were Michael" I add. "you did all that for me" I gush.
I was sure all this was going to be a topic with his cousin. How we met and all.
♥ ♫♪ְֱ ♥♫♪ְֱ ♥
"I am sorry I worried you. And that you thought I died. I never meant to scare you. I did not come around that night because they had been after me. I was scared they might try to finish me off" he chuckles. He touches my cheek with his hand. I lean up kissing him with all the love I had in me.
"I love you" I whisper back after the kiss.
"I love you and always will" he promises me.
We get on his bike after and he speeds off into town. We are in a rich part of town. Really nice houses. Michael pulls into house. It was a dark blue with a white picket fence all around it. There was a pretty bed of flowers that was all over the yard. And a large willow tree there in the yard to. Shading the home. So pretty.
"Wow!" I stammer. Michael helps me off the bike. Paulette and Johnny pull on in in a car. Paulette could not really ride right now in her condition.
"Hi guys" I greet them as Johnny helps her get out of the car.
"It will be so great having the g**g all back again" she tells me.
I nod. "Yes, it really will" I agree.
We go up to the door to ring the bell as others arrive. Michael rings the doorbell.

"Michael!" a beautiful blond woman exclaims.
"Sandy!" gushes Michael as they hug.
"Hello, you must be Stephanie" says Danny.
"You must be Danny" I joke.
We shake hands.
"I am so pleased to finally meet you all!" Sandy tells us warmly as she hugs me next. "Michael you have a lovely girlfriend"
"Thank you" he answers.
"Come on in everyone. Rizzo will be right down to" Sandy says as we head in the house.
Frenchie was already there and many others.
"Frenchie, how are you?" I ask her.
"How are you and Michael? You patched things up?" she asks me. She still rocked the pink hair do.
"Yes, we are doing great" I answer her.
"I am so happy for you guys" she replies.
"Hi guys!" Rizzo greet us. She was pregnant!
"Wow" gushes Michael.
♥ ♫♪ְֱ ♥♫♪ְֱ ♥
She was married to!
"We have a lot of catching up to do" laughs Paulette.
Everyone was talking now. Sandy was passing out beverages. Danny was getting us all snacks to enjoy. We talked about high school days. It seemed like everyone in the room was married or getting married.
I wondered if Michael was ever going to ask me to marry him? After the fuss I had made about marriage. He would not marry nor would I to keep him in the country before. I feared we might not ever get marriage after all the fuss about things.
Michael smiles over at me as we sit together. He takes my hand in his. Then I smile at him. I wanted what my friends had. Marriage. And happily, ever after.
With Michael.
I should bring up marriage to him. Let him know I was on board with the idea. Then give him some ideas. I was in a mess. I wanted to marry Michael. I wanted to be his wife. More than anything in the world. I was not sure how that was going to happen now. He didn't want to marry me. He had made that clear.
