50 minutes of facial torture and Xain was done "Done" He said dropping the brush
"Thank God" I sighed out loud
"B that was a lot faster than the last time
Not that I am complaining or anything I am just.........." I said turning to face the mirror "Wow........." I said in total shock as I couldn't believe the person staring back at me
"Cat got your tongue missy" he said smiling proudly to himself
"How did you......
In such a short time....…..." I shuttered away still in shock
"Well the last event was to a night club which meant wild and sexy which is not one of your very great qualities but this is a very classy party so all I had to do was shine more light to your beauty and we got this" He said to me
"I get but still......."
"Okay enough chattering about my awesomeness and let's get you ready for your dinner
🎶where is that breathtaking gown🎶"
Xain sang as he went to get the gown from my living room
"Argh God this gown is literally every girls dream" he danced as he gently brought out the gown from the box it came in and I was once again speechless
"Okay
Time to be Cinderella for one more night people"
I said collecting the gown from his hands
"I know you are already freaking out and I don't want to add to it Cupcake but a black limousine just drove in" Xain popping his head in the room "What!!!
The letter said 6:30 right?"
I asked Xain still trying to keep my calm "Well.......it is 6:28 so you still got like two minutes to get dressed and I got to say your Mystery Mr is definitely going to be a good fit for you because you know no ones else's like to keep to time to a T like........."
"Will you stop talking nonsense and get your butt here I need you help to zip this up
You know my hands are too short to reach it all the way up and you know how much I hate keeping people waiting so come on"
I said as I turned my back to face him
"That is exactly what I just said
Are you even listening to me at all" Xain sighed frustrated as he helped me zip my gown all the way
"Thank you a lot
And yes I heard you
It is always just nice seeing you all worked up and confused like a 5 years old who was told he couldn't have his dream Barbie dollhouse"
I laughed as I went to check my self out in the mirror
"Low blow Vee
Low blow
Incase you forgot that actually happened to me When the limited Barbie dreamhouse2 came out my mom couldn't afford to get it without my daddy noticing because it was really expensive so she had to tell him first and he said no
I vaguely remember him saying he can not afford to waste his hard earned money on a Barbie house for his male son so Vee thanks a lot for that flashback"
He said sounding all sad and hurt and for a moment there I almost fell for it
"Nice try Xain but you keep forgetting that we basically grew up together
But you really tried this time I will give you that I almost fell for it but then I also had a quick flashback like you like to call it and I 100% remember me getting angry at my mom for not getting me that particular dream house and running away to your house because you just got it. So stop trying to mix up the story dickhead and tell me how I look"
I said still trying to take it all in
The girl I was staring at in the mirror looked so confident, beautiful, fierce and nothing like how I was feeling in the inside at all
The white gown complimented my hazel eyes so perfectly it made me wonder if he thought about them when he was getting it
"Wow!!!!!!!!
You look stunning my dear I knew that the gown was a masterpiece but it looks like it was made specifically for you with the way it pops out your eyes I can feel my eyes tearing up here"
He said fanning his eyes has he took it all in
"The gown also makes me speechless, I love how even though it screams money it looks so simply and so me and for the first time since this whole drama started I can't wait to meet my mystery guy"
I said putting my phone, lipstick and the rest of my stuff into my red purse, grabbed my red heels from my the rack
Took one final look at myself before I walked into the sitting room
"Can I at least take few picture before you go
I might need to add this to my resumé soon Who knows
Come on wear your heels and can you move, the light is way better over here"
He said pointing to my entrance
"Fine
But be quick"
I said buckling in the other pair of my heels as I adjusted my purse
"The background is giving everything it is meant to be giving
I am so adding this to my next work
Give me another pose" Xain said snapping me "Can you give me an innocent but yet sexy look you know.....…..."
"I am going to have to stop you there, I am sure you have more than enough so can we go over tonight plans one more time" I said crashing to my coach
"Hey!
Be careful
You don't want to smear you makeup before the main show now do you?" He asked
"Of course not I wouldn't want to ruin your masterpiece before it sees the light I promise So can you focus just for five minutes I don't...."
I was interrupted by a gentle knock on my door
"Oh My God
I can't believe I totally forgot about the car downstairs
Let's me get the door for you
Just give me a sec"
Xain said and immediately opened the door before I could argue
"Good evening sir"
"Yes a Miss Perez lives here"
"She is all ready sir but she needs to check on a few things
She will be down with in a minute"
"So you work for Mr..... I don't know why I keep forgetting his name"
"Oh
I see"
"Okay
Thank you sir and are you sure you wouldn't like a bottle of water while you wait"
"If you are sure then no problem and once again sorry for the delay" Xain said as he closed the door
"So.....?" I asked
"That was Mr Harrison
Your driver for the night
He said he was instructed to not to disclose anything about his boss to you or anyone else but I can at least say I tried"
Xain sighed crashing beside me on the couch
"I got to say this Mystery guy is pretty smart
But I guess all this hide and seek ends tonight"
I said feeling a bit sad that it will all be over tonight
"Hey!
Don't be down I have this feeling in my gut that he is going to do much better than we imagine You know A lot richer, sexier and....."
"Xain can you focus here
You told him I will be down in a minute" I said "Okay
Fine
So while you are on your way to been swept of your feet by your mystery guy
I am going to be meeting the guy that Ray linked me up with from the club Who I hope will be able to tell me who you met last night so that i will be able to do a quick dive on who he is and probably give you a few head up on what to expect I think that is all
right?"
Xain asked
"Yes I think you got them all covered
So remember if he is an old perv just send me red flag so I can get out of there fast"
I said for the second time tonight
"I got your back Vee
Now let's go and please try to have fun
You promised Sophie"
Xain said as we walked out of my apartment
"Only when you confirm I am not going out with a perv or psycho will I be able to have fun
But I have heard you"
I said as I locked my door
"You know if not because you are so damn good at your job I would have advised you to go back to college and study law" Xain said
"Very funny Xain
I also think you might have gotten your career mixed up
Comedy seems to becoming your thing of late" I said as we got into the elevator.
