didn’t want me to choose a career path that had a high failure rate,” he explained.
“ Maybe you can do both one day, Alex. You can still be a surgeon and have a restaurant. Then your dream can come true and even if you fail, which I really doubt, you will still be a surgeon. You will always have that to fall back on,” I replied.
“ You’re right, Claire. You are absolutely right,” he agreed.
My kitchen smell ed so good my mouth began to water. The table was set, the roses were in the vase, and the food was almost ready. I was getting excited to see everyone. I was mostly excited about Alex meeting my family. I wondered what Katherine was going to think of him. She was always very honest and never held back her thoughts and feelings. I knew Kyle and Calvin would definitely express what they thought of Alex. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that everyone was going to love him. He was just so perfect and flawless. I was one lucky woman.
“ Babe, come and taste this and tell me what you think,” Alex asked me to taste everything to see if I liked his creations.
“ Mm, Alex this is so good! Everything is perfect and so flavorful. I better stop tasting all this good food otherwise there won’t be anything left for the guests,” we laughed.
“ Phew, so glad I passed the test,” he sounded relieved and leaned down to give me a kiss.

My parents were the first to arrive, and immediately noticed the aroma of the food. “It smells so good in here, what’s for lunch?” my mother asked. “The furniture looks beautiful in here, Claire. I didn’t think it would turn out this nice because it was so hard to tell from the pictures online,” she said.
“ It sure looks good, honey, and smells delicious in here,” added my father. “Hi, Alex, good to see you again,” he greeted.
“ Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan. It’s a pleasure to see you again,” Alex was always so pleasant.
My parents made it obvious that they really liked Alex, especially my mother.
“What did you cook, Claire? Did you make something or did you order?” my mother asked.
“ Oh, Alex cooked everything. He likes to cook, it’s a hobby of his,” I said.
“ No, no, Claire and I cooked together,” he corrected.
“ Alex, you cooked? May I see what you made? It sure smells really good,” my mother noted. Alex showed my mother what he had cooked and gave her samples to taste as he had given me earlier.
“ Oh my goodness, you can cook! Claire, I think Alex is a keeper and he can sure teach you to cook like this. Henry, come taste these delicious meals that Alex has prepared,” my mother called my father to the kitchen.
“ I agree, this tastes great, Alex. I’m sure everyone is going to enjoy this gourmet lunch,” said my father, devouring the food in his mouth.
When Alex and my father left the kitchen, my mother turned to me and made it clear that Alex was the man for me and I needed to keep this one.
“ He’s the one, Claire. He’s just perfect for you. You need to talk to him one day, you know, about what happened to you,” she said, in a quiet whisper.
“ I already did, mom. I told him everything Friday night and he couldn’t have been more understanding. He’s amazing,” I whispered. My mother just smiled. She was as happy and relieved as I had been.
Katherine and John arrived after my parents and they loved my new place and the way it was all put together. Katherine turned to me after she met Alex, with a look of total approval. She seemed to have a great first impression of him. I couldn’t blame her, as he was perfect after all. John and Alex seemed to get along right off the bat, which made Katherine and I very happy, since we were such good friends, we would hate to see our men not getting along.
Kyle, Molly and Calvin finally arrived as well and we were all ready to sit down and feast on the incredible food Alex had
