what to think about how much it cost! Kelly, the personal shopper made sure that I never saw a price tag.

The dress is white down the front and back but black on the sides. It is cut low in the front, but not slut type low. When I spin around in it the bottom part flows out and moves with me. I have killer high heels on, black and white also. When Kelly showed me some jewelry that would go with the outfit, I tried to pass on it but Justin whispered in my ear that he would spank me if I didn’t listen to her. I was almost tempted to see if he was just playing around, but then she showed me an amazing white gold necklace with black crystals! The necklace matched the bracelet she showed me next. But it was the earrings that took my breathe away. Black diamond stud earrings, one carat each! I didn’t fight him whatsoever on the earrings!

I did one last turn around in front of the mirror, then grabbed my bag. Yes a new white clutch bag, I was spoiled today and loved it. As I am walking down the stairs I see Dave in the hallway, he stops dead in his tracks. The look on his face tells me he approves of what he sees.

“Wow!” He says staring at me. “Guys you gotta come see Flower!” He yells.

“Sis! You look amazing!” Chris says coming over to hug me.

“Thanks.” Okay too much attention.

“Flower, you look wonderful!” Justin says beaming with pride. He looks great too. He is in a white tux with a black bow tie, his hair is still messy but I like it that way. “Ready?” He asks. I shake my head and kiss Chris goodbye.

I should have known he would rent a limo, I laughed when I saw it sitting in the drive way. As we pull up to the opera house my nerves are kicking in. My stomach is in knots and my palms are sweaty. I take a few deep breathes to calm myself down but when I see all the press there I start to shake.

“It’s okay, just breathe. We have to stop and take a few pictures but it won’t be as bad as you think. Come on let’s go.” The driver opens his door and Justin helps me out of the limo. The press is screaming his name so that he will turn and they can snap a picture. I have a smile glued on my face, but I’m so scared its not funny.

Once inside and I can breathe again, he walks us to our box seats, I again feel like a princess. There are four seats but no one is here but us. I asked him if he knew who the other seats were for and he said he didn’t know if they were coming. I took this to mean he didn’t know who they were, I was wrong.

“Hey Justin you made it.” I turn to see Tyler Hubbard from Florida Georgia Line. Okay, shoot me now!

“Hey Tyler, good to see you again. Is this your sister?” Justin is talking to him like he knows him, how could that be?

“Yeah, this is Millie. Millie this Justin Crow.” The little girl blushes, she looks to be at most thirteen years old, I can see she is a Freak Street fan, or maybe just a Justin Crow fan.

“Nice to meet you.” Justin shakes her hand. “Tyler this is Flower, my date for the evening.” Hearing him say date should not have made me blush the way it did but wow!

“It’s nice to meet you Flower, I love that name.” Tyler says and shakes my hand.

“It’s nice to meet you both, I’m a big fan of yours.” I regret saying that as soon as it left my mouth.

“Really? I figured since you were touring with Justin that there would be no time to listen to other peoples music.” Him knowing that I was touring with Justin shouldn’t have come as a shock. With all the interviews we have done I guess everyone in the world knows by now.

“I listen to country music more then anything else.” I giggle.

“Well, ain’t that something. Maybe you’re on the wrong tour, maybe you should head out with BK and me.” He teases.

“Don’t tempt me!” I laugh.

“Sorry, but she will not be leaving our tour. I don’t think it would be the same with out her.” Justin says as he puts his arm around my waist and moves us back to our seats. Tyler and Millie follow and we all get ready for the show.

I don’t think I will look at the world of opera the same way ever again. It was magical, the music, the story line. By the end of the night I was cuddled up next to Justin with my head on his shoulder, he was holding me close. When the play ended I was the first one of us to jump up and start clapping. Tyler and Millie invited us to go with them to grab a bite to eat but Justin said we already had plans, yeah plans I knew nothing about.

It was almost 11pm when we got back into the limo. I’m on such a high that I know sleep will not come easy tonight, but who cares. He informs me that we are going to pick up some Chinese take out, then go back to the condo and watch our favorite show. That sounds like a good plan to me, and as amazing as these heels may look, they’re killing me!

Once we have changed into our night clothes and have laid out all the food on my bed, we settle in to watch TV. Yup, we are in my bed once again, but we locked the door this time. Tonight is about me and Justin, I don’t care what anyone thinks, even Chris.

“So did you have fun?” He asks me while eating an egg
