The sun rose and the awaited day began.
On the morning Angel started to write the preparations list she have to make ready.
-Night dinner dress -perfume -Necklace -Earrings -Purse -Heel shoes…. And the list does not end for girls like Angel.
Ash opened his wardrobe to find a suit for him. While he was finding, his door knocked. He stood frozen because he thought that it was Angel.
Slowly he walked to the door and slowly opened it. He found that it was the postman he saw last time, "Phew, yes sir how I can help u? Is it for Angelina?''
The postman smiled and said "no sir this box is for you. madam Angelina ordered a black suit from a Garment and told me to deliver it to you, she asked you to wear it for today's dinner and she hoped that it would be of your size.''
Ash was surprised of everything, "But how did she even knew my size?'' he exclaimed.
The postman said "I don't know how, but maybe she measured your body from far or something like that. Hey are you her boyfriend? "
Ash face returned to its serious, "that's not of your business, just give me that and you can go''
Ash closed his door and returned with the box to his bed. His hands were shaking while he was opening the box and suddenly he saw a new branded packed black suit with a black shiny shoes. When he saw this all, he was so happy. The suit gleamed in his eyes.
He thought of what was left and he started thinking
"A perfume is left! I need a perfume''
He stood and ran to his bed cabinet, opened a small box, he took out 50$ and returned the box to its place, "A perfume for being with Angel should be special.''
And he went to the shop where most of the time Angel bought her perfumes from.
He entered the shop and he was going to fall on his knees when he saw Angel trying the perfumes there. At a moment he turned his face towards a corner to hide and after a minute a man came to that corner, "Yes sir, how can I help u?''
Ash instantly changed his voice, "mmm…can I ask you sir about that lady (pointing on angel)? What type of perfumes she likes?''
"Oh you are talking about Madam Angel, she likes unique scents, soft smells but for men she chooses strong perfumes''
Ash became surprised of what the man said, "Sorry sir, but have she bought a men perfume?''
"No, but every time she comes she tries these perfumes for a man she says that one day she will buy for him. She didn't mention any name, but I remember that she had told me once that his name started with her first letter.''
Ash showed no emotion or reaction, "Ok, can you show me one of the perfumes she have chosen?''
The man went for a moment and brought a perfume, Ash loved the smell of the perfume and bought it for 50$. He left without letting Angel recognizing him. After arriving his room, he closed the door and his breath was caught from the running.
The dusk came, Ash started to wear his suit while Angel started styling her hair. She was so much excited while she was putting on the makeup that she was smiling to the mirror like a princess. Ash was too much scared but he was more excited.
The Night was coming, Angel looked very splendid like a star shining between the darkness of the night. Ash looked so handsome like a prince. And both of them sprayed their perfumes.
Angel went down to her dad and looked at her great looking dad, "Oh dad! You look handsome I think all women will be coming to you''
Her dad laughed.
"I want to ask something from you and please don't refuse. Dad can Ash come with us? He feels bored from staying alone most of the time. He will not cause any problems, please dad'' Angel asked
The caring father was surprised but he accepted, "Ok honey and you look so gorgeous. I think a handsome boy will be from your luck today ''
Both laughed.
"Thanks dad, I will go call him "
She ran and knocked at Ash's room door. Ash was thinking on his bed but when he heard the knock, he rushed to the door. When he opened the door, his eyes were going to melt from her beauty while Angel's eyes brightened when she looked at Ash. Both were frozen on the doorstep. Angel's hands slowly turned over Ash's neck and slowly Ash's hands were around Angel's waist. Angel shivered a little when he touched her. Face to face and their bodies were so close to each other that they felt warmness between their bodies.
"Angel where are you sweet? We are late'' Angel's dad shouted,
Immediately Ash and Angel were startled of what they were doing. Angel removed her hands and bent her head and ash also moved his hands too and folded them behind his back.
"Sorry, and we should go now''
Both were shy to see each other. Angel went in hurry and slowly Ash walked behind her. Both entered the car, Ash was sitting behind while Angel was in front beside her dad who was driving. Ash from the beginning was staring and gazing at Angel's beauty.
They arrived to the place that was for Ash like a dream coming true, he was amazed of the wide palace like restaurant, and he thought that places like these can only be seen on the TV. Ash looked around like a tourist then he recognized of the wide dancing hall with its classic music orchestra. For a moment he turned to Angel and turned again to the hall and smiled.
Angel, Ash and Angel's dad sat on the five-seat table waiting for their guests. Soon the sweet classic music started.
The guests arrived and Angel found that it was true what Ash said for her. It was her dad's friend and his son instead of the daughter, Angel turned to Ash and winked, he smiled to her. They sat and suddenly Angel turned to her dad then to the guests "Oh daddy who is this guy? You said for me that your friend and his daughter will come, where is his daughter? I can't see her"
Angel dad was shy but he just smiled, "Oh honey, she was sick and she couldn't come, instead he brought his son I think you will be good friends with him''
The boy named Sam looked at Ash and asked Angel dad, "Sir who is that guy? "
Angel replied before her father could even answer, "He is my friend, my best friend''
Her dad in that moment scared and replied fast, "And also her guard''
The boy smiled in return.
After a half an hour of talking, Sam stood and turned to Angel, "Hey Angel can I take you in a walk in the restaurant and we can talk more."
Angel smiled, "Ok no problem but we should take my guard. Do you accept?"
Sam smiled and said ok, both Angel and Ash stood and walked with Sam. After a long walk Sam tried to be nearer to her
"What type of future knight do you dream of?''
Ash who listened to their murmuring was so nervous of the question said nothing.
Angel who looked at Ash and around answered loudly, "I want a person who I choose not whom people choose for me, I want a person whom I know all his secrets and feelings towards me.''
Ash smiled a big smile while Sam was thinking of what she said, soon they returned to their table and a new music again started after a minute or two. Ash stood and turned to Angel and said, "Angel can I have a dance with you'' he stretched his hands to her
Angel was so surprised, she was happy from inside and put her hands on his, and they walked holding hands towards the hall looking at each other smiling. They took their position, their hands on each other, and their bodies close to each other, his eyes on hers and her eyes are shining on his face. The soft music starts and the sweet birds are dancing, with every step their faces are brightening, and with every dance people's eyes start to be attracted to them and amazed by their dance. The visitors stopped only to watch them. Slowly Ash and Angel started to dance freely without thinking of the place and the people in it. They were the only persons dancing in the center of the hall. They forgot about Angel's dad and the guests.
Sam was watching them not understanding what is happening, "Is it true about what she said that he is her best friend? Because what I am seeing is not best friends dancing'' Sam asked himself.
The music stopped and the dancers stopped. Everyone in the place clapped hotly for them. They were tired and their breath was caught.
When they stopped Angel looked up to him, he bent his head to see her and a big smile was on his face. Angel's arms were around his neck while his hands on her waist,
"This was a wish I have wished from a long time ago'' He said softly to her ears while bringing her close to him. She smiled shied and left him and returned to their table.
Her father smiled a fake smile, "Both of you are good dancers but I was asking myself why didn't you dance with Sam? He is also a good dancer.''
Angel was surprised, "Oh dad I was just shy to dance with a person whom I don't I know but Ash is my childhood friend. Dad don't complex things like that.''
Ash was standing at a corner drinking a glass of water and Sam came near him and ordered a glass of juice and turned to Ash, "Hey, I liked your dance. I heard that you are her childhood friend. tell me about her what she likes, what she is like so I can be close to her as you are.''
Ash thought and turned to Sam and started "she is beautiful girl, she is sensitive, intelligent, sometimes naughty but with a good heart.''
Ash forgot about Sam and entered the world of Angel, "she loves the person who do's everything for her, oh if you know her you will fall in love with her, she is so beautiful, funny and loves everyone, I have never saw a girl like her, maybe I am making things more bigger than it is but for Angel I can say that she is a perfect girl." his eyes were brightening thinking in her world.
At his side Sam was drinking and smiling, "now I knew that you both are for each other. I should not live with a person whose eyes are on another person. Maybe I liked her but not as deep as you. I wish for both of you a happy life filled with love.''
Ash woke up from that world shocked from what he heard, "Oh no Sam I was just telling you about her nothing else.''
Sam smiled and turned and said "if both of you saw yourself on the mirror while you were dancing, you would know what I meant. Both of you were looking like one of the romantic movies I have seen before.'' he laughed and went on
Ash shouted, "Hey Sam wait!''
Sam stopped and turned to him.
Ash in a serious voice, "Listen Sam first, the reality that we both love each other but none of us confessed it. Second, if Angel didn't marry you by her willingness her father will let her marry you by force and that's what both of us doesn't want to happen.''
Sam came close to Ash and put his hands on Ash's shoulders, "Don't worry buddy, if Angel refused she would be forced to marry me but, If I refused both of us will not be forced to marry each other.''
Then he went smiling and stopped again and turned to Ash, "let me advice you buddy, don't let your chance go from your hands. There is no problem if you showed your feelings to her first. If both of you stayed silent, you will lose her from your life. So just choose the best time and place even if the place was not a proper one just when you get the chance get courageous and say it for her."
He turned and walked smiling letting Ash in a sea of thoughts, "Will he refuse and Angel will be mine? Why is he helping me? Why should I listen to him?" and he started to replay the advice in his mind, "don't let your chance go away from your hands''. "Choose the best time and place and just let her know.'' Ash stood frozen and confused.
The family returned home and every one slept on his bed diving in his own thoughts.
