"Now that we got that covered, this banquet is going to be an entire audience of Vampire's sweetheart. I was surprised that Jason wanted you to attend this event without you knowing and just to have an accident happen because you weren't informed. We'll discuss the extra steps that will need to be taken before you greet the other guests but for now, let's get you pampered. Hannah and Lara will help you get ready for the banquet. I hope you brought your outfit with you." She spoke as Jason still clung to me happily but halfway through her statement he let go so I could listen properly.
"Thank you, Mrs. Richards. I have my dress and shoes with me. One of the butlers took it out of the car but I don't know where they are now." I replied with my hands resting in my lap politely not wanting to anger her more than she had been earlier at her son.
"I'm sure Jared will lead you to the room where they were placed for the time being so you can get changed. I'll have Hannah and Lara meet you in your room to help you with your hair. You both are dismissed." She said nonchalantly before Jason took my hand and led me out of the room quickly.
Once the door to the study room was closed and we were far enough not to be heard he turned to me and looked down at me with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry for everything. Tonight is just going to get even more stressful for you. If you don't want to continue with the rest of the night and wish to go home I can have Jared take you back to campus." He offered while holding both of my hands in his.
I looked up at him and gave him a quick peck on the lips before smiling happily at him. "Nothing you do or someone else does stop me from loving you or wanting to be with you, Jason. I love you, I know it might be early to admit it so wholeheartedly but I really do love you. I wouldn't change anything in the world." He gave me a weak smile that was full of gratefulness and reassurance it melted my heart from seeing him so happy just from my words.
He hugged me tightly and whisked me off my feet and carried me to my room. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he carried me and pushed open the partially ajar door to my room and laid me on the bed. He leaned over me and hovered above me with his lips inches from my nose before he kissed me on the forehead, then on the cheek. He slowly moved down and kissed my neck, then my collarbone. He looked up at me and kissed me on the lips passionately. My eyes closed on their own as I felt his chilled lips collide with my warm ones and kissed him back just as passionate.
He put either hand next to my head to keep him from laying on me and proceeded to make out with me. After a few minutes of complete bliss of just us kissing, I heard someone clear their throat and instantly opened my eyes. Jason was completely aware that they were there but still carried on with giving me one last peck before standing up and turned to the source of the sound.
"Make sure you get all dolled up Olivia. I can't wait to see you when you're finished." He said looking back at me before turning to Hannah and Lara who had been standing at the doorway for some time now. I sit up with both hands behind me to support my weight and quickly stand up.
"Let's get you dressed Mrs. Morris," Hannah said while she walked with Lara to the bathroom connected to the bedroom. It was the same Hannah who helped me pick out my dress the other day. Did they purposely have her work at Nordstrom's just so Jason knew the person taking care of my clothes? Way to go the extra mile I suppose.
I quickly scurry to the bathroom and go wide-eyed at its size. Freshly cleaned marble and tile with brightly colored accents to authenticate the aesthetic. Fuzzy teal bath towels hung on the towel racks which matched the bath rugs beneath my feet. They definitely went the extra mile to impress me. I thought I was here to impress them but I'm mildly mistaken.
"We'll step out so you can freshen up. Step into the bathrobe once you're finished while we set up the dress and shoes for you." Hannah recommended as both of them gave a small head bow before leaving the bathroom and I was left to figure out which side of the knob was hot water and cold water.
After I had washed my hair and body, I wrapped my hair in a towel and put the bathrobe on. I opened the bathroom door and saw the dress and shoes laid out on the bed. I held the bathrobe closed and walked into the bedroom as both Hannah and Lara waited for me.
"While you get into the dress, we'll dry and fix up your hair then lastly we'll apply a small amount of makeup to bring out your complexion," Hannah said before both of them approached me and took off my bathrobe and proceeded to help me into my dress. My cheeks turned red from their sudden actions and brisk movements that I couldn't say a word to protest.
Once I was nicely fit into the dress and my shoes were put on, I was sat at the vanity and the two women proceeded to do my hair. I was surprised at how fast they worked but from their experience that they did this often for most likely Mrs. Richards and Rebecca. They stepped away and I looked in the mirror to see my hair in a perfect bun with two braids leading into it with small hair strands that rested on either side of my cheeks. A small barrette was put into my hair that looked like a diamond flower while the makeup was simple but accentuating.
"Our work here is done. Now to show you off to Jason." They said with a small smirk on their faces and I let out a nervous laugh and gave a small smile. What's gonna happen now?
