Marigold looked at Beau and said, "You want me to go to Paris with you for a week?" Beau nodded, saying, "Yes, I would like for you to come with me." She said, "I don't know the first thing about Paris. I don't even know how to speak French, I've never been outside the country, let alone the state." He smiled, saying, "Well, there's a first time for everything." She looked down, saying, "I don't know Beau, I've never traveled that far before." He said, "Marigold, I think it's time you live life. You've said it yourself, you want to travel but haven't gotten the opportunity to do so. Well, now is your chance to actually do something you want to do. Start doing things that will make you happy." She looked at him, thinking, 'He's right. My dad never let me leave his side. I always had to take care of everyone else but myself. I never got a chance to live my own life and travel like I wanted to. This opportunity to leave the country… It's intimidating, but I want to do it, I need to do it.' He said, 'Well, would you like to go?" Sh,e said, "You know what? You're right, Beau. I haven't been able to actually start living life, and Paris is a place I've always wanted to travel to. So, I guess I'll come with you." He said, "Alright, let's head down to the airport." She chuckled, saying, "Airport? What about our things? I have nothing packed, I'm not ready for travel." He said, "Oh, don't worry about clothes or anything like that. I'll get you a new wardrobe and there'll be new clothes waiting for you on the flight as well." She felt her cheeks turning red, and she said, "Beau, you are absolutely spoiling me. I don't need new clothes, I still have a bunch of nice clothes that you bought me already." He smiled and said, "One you deserve to be spoiled and two we are traveling. Getting new clothes is easier than packing up old clothes, besides if I don't spoil you and give you the best things I can offer than who else will?" A smile came to her face and she said, "If you insist on me having new clothes, I'll take them with joy but you really don't have to go all out of your way for me. The things you have gotten me I really appreciate." He smiled, saying, "I know you do… And I'm happy that you are so appreciative about the little things I do." She thought, 'Little? If that's little, then I don't even want to know what big is… He spoils me like no one I've ever met. I wonder why he's so insistent on getting me all these expensive things.'
He started up the car driving to the airport. An hour passed, and they finally made it to the airport. Beau gave his keys to an airport valet, and he (Beau) escorted Marigold to their (Beau and Marigold's) flight. They (Beau and Marigold) boarded the flight, seeing a female flight attendant standing at the entrance of the door to the airplane.
The flight attendant had a bronze name tag with the name Alley (which was her name) on it that was clipped onto her striped dark blue, button up, long sleeve blouse. Her blouse was tucked into her navy blue pencil skirt, around her neck she wore a white scarf, on her hands she wore white gloves, and she wore black flats. The flight attendant looked to be in her early 30's and had her long brown hair tied up in a low bun.
Alley (the flight attendant) looked at Marigold and Beau with a smile on her (Alley's) face, saying, "Welcome back, Mr.Bax Jr. and who might this beautiful model be?" Marigold's face turned red, and Beau said, "Her name is Miss Marigold, and she is the most beautiful woman on the planet." Marigold covered her face with her hand, and Alley said, "She definitely is a beautiful sight to see." Beau looked at Marigold while smiling, and he said, "Oh, have I embarrassed you, Miss Marigold?" Marigold uncovered her face, showing her (Marigold's) red face, and she (Marigold) said, "No, I'm okay…" Alley said, "Alright shall I escort you two to your seats?" Beau said, "Yes," turned to Marigold, put out his hand towards her (Marigold), and he asked, "Are you ready to go to your seat?" Marigold answered, "Yes," and grabbed his hand. Alley said, "Perfect," and began escorting them to the first class area. As they walked through the plane, Marigold looked around, seeing rows of empty blue cushioned seats and closed windows. She (Marigold) tugged on Beau's shirt, and he looked at her. She (Marigold) said, "Where are all the people? Are flights always this empty?" Beau chuckled, and Alley said, "I see this is your first time riding first class. The passengers will load the flight after you because you're riding in first class. You get to get on the flight first and be seated first." Marigold looked down, gripping her pants, thinking, 'I just made a fool out of myself in front of Beau. How could I not know that? I'm asking the most obvious questions." Alley stood in front of a blue door and said while opening it, "Welcome to first class Miss Marigold and Mr.Bax Jr."
Marigold's eyes lit up as she and Beau entered the first class area. The first class area had a full size bed that had been freshly made and had a white comforter with white pillows, a black suitcase bag sitting on top of a white loveseat that had a built in hidden seatbelt and the loveseat was bolted to the floor, a wall to wall window that sat behind the love seat, a small marble and gray table that was built into the wall and had a white marble vase with fresh red roses in it that sat on top on the table, a 40 inch flat screen TV that was wall mounted next to the bed, and a blue door that led to a personal bathroom for first class people. The flooring was a warm beige carpeting, and the color of the walls were soft gray. On one of the walls hung a picture of flowers, and on top of the bed were two outfits for Marigold. One of the outfits was a knee length, plain warm gray, shift dress with pearly gray flats, a 14k white gold bracelet, and diamond earrings and the other outfit was black skinny jeans, white princess best, white ankle cuff wedges, 14k gold hoop earrings, and a 14k rose gold charm bracelet.
Alley left, closing the door behind her, and Marigold looked at Beau, saying, "Beau, all of this is for me?" Beau said, "For right now, until I can get you more clothes, yes…" She walked over to the bed, touching her clothing, and said, "So I'm borrowing the clothing? I'll try not to get them dirty." Beau chuckled, saying, "I'm sorry I misspoke. What I mean by, 'Until I can get your more clothing,' is I feel that the clothing I've gotten you are too plain. I don't really know your style, but I tried to get things you would like. When we get to Paris I'll buy whatever clothing you want just as long as they make you happy I'm going to buy it for you." Marigold sighed and said, "Beau, you really don't have to do all of these things for me. I mean booking a first class ticket and buying all these expensive clothes… You really, really didn't have to do that Beau." He smiled and said, "I know I don't have to do them, but I want to. Marigold, you are worth so much to me. You are priceless. I don't mind going the extra mile and doing things for you because you deserve it." She said,"But Beau, I feel so guilty. You are doing all these amazing things for me. Buying me all these clothes, shoes, expensive meals, etc… You have already done so much for me, Beau, you don't have to do anymore. I really, really appreciate all the things that you've done for you, but please Beau… You don't have to do all of this for me." He grabbed her hands, pulled her closer to him, held her (letting go of her hands), looked into her eyes, and said, "You shouldn't feel guilty about me doing things I want to do for you. I wanted to get you new clothing, I wanted to do these things for you because you deserve it and because I… I… I… I really want you to have them." She said, "But Beau, I just feel so guilty…" and he interrupted her, saying, "Don't feel guilty. I wanted to spend my money on you and if it makes you feel less guilty even if you weren't here I would be paying for my clothing and paying for first class tickets for myself… I want to treat you better than I would treat my own self. You are my wife Marigold, and I want you to only have the best things I can offer you. So I'll spend more money on you. So what? Big deal, you deserve the best, and if I can get you the best, I will. So please don't feel guilty for receiving what I wanted to give to you. Just enjoy getting what you deserve for so long. Treat and take care of yourself. You deserve every bit of spoiling I have given and am going to give you." A soft smile came to her face, and she said, "Awe Beau, you are so sweet. You are so good to me for no reason… Thank you for giving me the best you can offer… You are truly an incredible person." He chuckled, saying, "I don't know about incredible, but I do hope you do like what I got you, and I do appreciate the compliment." He let go of her, and she twirled around the room saying, "This room is amazing. This trip is going to be amazing." He smiled at her, walked over to the loveseat, and sat down.
20 minutes rolled by, and the voice of a man spoke over the intercom. The man said, "Alright passengers, this is your captain speaking, informing you that we are getting ready to take off. Please find your seats and listen to all of the safety protocols." The captain went over all the safety protocols and hung up the intercoms. Beau looked at Marigold, seeing her sit on the bed, and he thought, 'I just want her next to me. She's such a stunning sight, and she's so full of life and kindness…. I've never met anyone like her. I've never met a woman who can make me as nervous as she does… A woman who completely makes me lose my focus as soon as I see her face. My heart races every time I see her face…' She glanced over at Beau, seeing him staring at her, and said, "You're staring at me again, Beau. How am I supposed to focus with your eyes staring at me?" Beau said, "I-It's just you're sitting on the bed, and I think it would be a lot safer if you just sat next to me until after take off." She smiled while rolling her eyes and said, "Oh Beau, I'm fine." She stood up, saying, "Take off is probably not that scary anyways." He chuckled, saying, "It's not about it being scary or not. It's about safety. You are going to fall and be thrown around the room if you aren't fastened into something before take off." She said, "Hmmm, sounds like someone wants me to sit next to them." He smiled, saying, "True, but also it's for your safety." Her heart began beating against her chest while she thought, 'Did he just really admit to wanting me to sit closely by him? I know he's flirted with me but… Why does this feel like the biggest milestone in the world that we just passed, and why do I feel like my head is in the clouds?" He looked at her, saying, "Come on Marigold, have a seat before you get hurt." She walked over to him and sat next to him while he buckled them in.
After 5 minutes, they felt the plane rumble, and Marigold stuttered, "B-Beau w-what's h-happening?" Beau said, "It's alright. I keep forgetting you haven't flown before. The plane is just taking off." She felt the plane rumble some more and started feeling it lifting up in the sky. She grabbed Beau's arm tightly, barring her face into his chest, and he said, "It's alright. I won't let anything happen to you. We are perfectly safe." She looked up at him, seeing his gray eyes looking down at her. She touched his face and said, "Thank you Beau…"
