Thirty minutes passed and the driver announced their arrival at the party, she called and her mother
"I'm there mother" Valeria said
"Enjoy yourself dear" Geraldine said and hang up. The driver opened the door for her and she alighted like the queen she was dressed to be.
"You are welcome ma'am" An usher said to Valeria who was still trying to fit in the environment and mansion in her head
"Thank you" Valeria replied with a smile and followed the usher who was to direct her inside the house.
After few miles of walking, she entered the big living room filled with guest looking expensive and rich. At this moment, Valeria couldn't be more than grateful to Esmeralda for letting her wear something expensive or she would have felt out of place.
"Valeria!" Hannah screamed from the one end of the room happily. The music was soft and low so she could hear her. Valeria walked majestically up to her, they hugged lightly as a sign of greeting.
"I thought you won't come" Hannah said smiling from ear to ear looking pretty in her blue mermaid gown.
"Why would I miss such party?" Valeria said jokingly and they laughed
"Cat, Maggy, Sandy and Cilla are here too" Hannah said walking away with Valeria.
"Oh really? I must be the latecomer here" Valeria said jokingly as they reach where others are sitted.
"Good evening queens" Valeria greeted and they all stand up to hug her one by one
"You look so beautiful Valeria" Cat said and others confirmed it. They sit round the table back and Hannah sits with them.
"Happy Anniversary to your parents Hannah" Valeria said giving Hannah the gift she saw in the Limousin earlier.
***FLASHBACK***
"Bye Miss Esmeralda" Valeria said waving at her as the limousine zoom off. She sits up well to be comfortable with good posture, her hand hit a gift box.
"Did Miss Esmeralda forget this in her luxury vehicle?" Valeria asked holding the gift box with a note on it
"Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Baker" Valeria read the gift box and realized later that it was for Hannah's parents. She brought out her phone from her bag and called Esmeralda.
"Hello Miss Esmeralda" Valeria said waiting for a response
"I will send your pictures after few touching here and there" Esmeralda said
"You got a gift on my behalf for Hannah's parents" Valeria said more like a question than a statement
"Who goes to an anniversary party without a gift?" Esmeralda asked
"I'm really grateful for all you've done this night, they meant alot to me. If there was a way to pay you back then I will" Valeria said happily
"There's a way to pay me back but we will talk about that later" Esmeralda said and end the call leaving Valeria puzzled.
***FLASHBACK ENDS***
"I guess it's time to greet my parents then" Hannah said giving the gift back to Valeria. The girls stand up and walk up to Hannah's parents who were at another end of the house greeting their guests.
"Mum, Dad" Hannah said as they got to her parents
"Princess" Her father said happily
"Honey" Her mother said smiling
"Meet my roommates" Hannah said pointing to the girls
"Good evening Mr and Mrs Baker" The girls greeted in unison
"Good evening sweethearts" The couples greeted in unison
"Happy Anniversary to you two" The girls said in unison giving Mrs Baker the gift they brought.
"Awwn, this is so sweet" Hannah's mother said blushing
"This is Valeria, Margret, Catherine, Priscilla and Sandra" Hannah introduced pointing to the girls as she mention their name.
"I'm so grateful for your presence and present" Mr Baker said smiling
"You are welcome sir" The girls said
"We will be greeting other guests too" Mrs Baker said and they leave the girls. The girls went back to their seats.
"What will you girls eat?" Hannah asked happily
"Anything" The girls chorused and they laughed. Hannah left to get them food, the waiter followed her with a big plate of fried sauced chicken, cookies, ice cream, sausage and hotdogs, the server placed the food on the table and the girls cheered.
"Now let's enjoy the feast" Hannah said excitedly and they started eating. After eating to their satisfaction, the girls started talking about their outfits and how they chose it.
"This gown was inspired by a designer friend of mine, she made it when she found love again mind you she's older than I am and she's married to the person. I asked her to design a dress for me to wear to an anniversary of my friends parents and she made this saying it's a celebration of love. The white color symbolizes pure while the blue represents love and the red symbolizes all the danger you face when in love" Catherine explained her outfit smiling
"Very thoughtful" Valeria said smiling
"My dress was designed by my mom, she has always been a supporter of love and it should be in form of escape and that's why it's a trouser and the top symbolizes all the danger in love and that's why it's red in color. The trouser is blue which means love" Margret said smiling
"I will love your Mom to style me a cloth" Catherine said with a smile
"This dress was styled by my father, he chose it online from EmJay's brand saying it represents love and I'm sure it does" Priscilla said and everyone except Valeria gasp at the heard of EmJay.
"Hey Princess" A male voice said interrupting them and Hannah looked back excitedly
"Hi baby" Hannah said hugging the person
"I missed you Princess" The person said kissing her forehead
"I missed you too and for a moment thought you won't come here today" Hannah said childishly
"You know I won't miss your farewell even if I will miss the anniversary" The voice said again
"I know you won't baby" Hannah said still holding him
"Will you introduce me to your friends or I should introduce myself?" The voice asked
"Girls, meet the love of my life Benjamin but he loves to be called Benjie" Hannah said smiling and the girls wave at him
"Nice to meet you ladies" Benjamin greeted and wink
"Your boyfriend is handsome" Cat said looking at Benjamin who was wearing a white suit.
"Boyfriend?" Hannah asked looking at Benjamin
"Isn't he your boyfriend?" Priscilla asked looking at him
"He's my brother" Hannah said excitedly
"Wow! You have such a handsome brother" Margret said looking at Benjamin
"Benjamin, be polite, my friends are talking to you" Hannah said holding Benjamin who was on call
"Sorry beautiful ladies, I'm Benjamin Baker, Hannah's brother and first love" Benjamin said smiling
"Nice to meet you Benjie" The girls chorused
"You all are beautiful!" Benjamin complimented
"Thank you Benjie" The girls chorused
"My parents will soon give a speech and we will move down to the club for a party" Hannah said more to the girls than Benjamin
"You made a club party available?" Benjamin asked surprisingly
"Yes, why will I make a preparation without putting you in mind" Hannah replied and her brother hug her.
"I can't wait for the club party" Sandra said excitedly.
"Excuse us ladies" Benjamin said taking Hannah with him
"Are those your roomies?" Benjamin asked
"Yes baby" Hannah replied smiling
"They are beautiful and hot" Benjamin said looking at the girls
"Which one do you like Benjamin?" Hannah asked knowing her brother likes one of the girls
"The one on EmJay....." Benjamin said and Hannah cut him off
"....Priscilla? The one on blue gown? I don't think she will like you back" Hannah said in one breath
"Hey calm girl. I'm not talking about her" Benjamin said and Hannah look at the girls who were staring at them and smile
"That girl is the only one putting on EmJay" Hannah said looking at the girls again
"Don't tell me you don't recognize that leather jacket?" Benjamin asked surprisingly knowing how much his sister has always loved EmJay brand
"Valeria's jacket? It can't be EmJay" Hannah said looking at Valeria again, from the little time she knows her she knows she's not from a buoyant family.
"Are you serious right now? I've confirm you only want to see the face behind the brand and crush on him till old-age" Benjamin said not happy she didn't recognize EmJay brand on Valeria
"If it's Valeria you like then you are liking the right person, she's beautiful, cheerful and my favorite of all" Hannah said smiling thinking her brother was talking about EmJay brand to convince her.
"Thank you Princess but I will love you to confirm that jacket and literally everything on her body" Benjamin said and walk away from her. Hannah walk back to her friends not understanding how Valeria will be putting on million dollar on her body.
"You and your brother have such a good siblingship vibe" Catherine who is crushing on Benjamin said
"Yes, he has been my ride or die since day one" Hannah said looking at Benjamin who is now with their parents
"He can be someone else's ride or die too" Catherine said looking at Benjamin with love
"Dont crush on him, he has someone he likes" Hannah said looking at Valeria and only Priscilla caught the vibe
"What are you wearing Valeria?" Priscilla asked wanting to distract them from Benjamin.
"Oh the brand?" Valeria asked
"Yes the brand" Hannah replied before Priscilla could talk
"Everything on me is from EmJay's brand" Valeria said and they gasp. Hannah look at her brother who smiled at her
"I knew I wasn't wrong when I saw this jacket, you are wearing a fifty thousand dollars jacket" Sandra said looking at the jacket
"You must be from an empire" Margret said making Valeria feel embarrassed
"You all are exaggerating, all this is a gift from a good friend of mine" Valeria said clearing off whatever thought was in their head
"Are you into modelling?" Catherine asked
"What? I'm not" Valeria replied
"Are you trying to keep your life private?" Cat asked looking at her
"What do you mean?" Valeria asked not understanding them
"Is this not you on EmJay's instagram account with this same outfit?" Cat asked showing the surprised Valeria
"This is me but...." Valeria said and Benjamin cut her off.
"....Ladies, let her breathe" Benjamin said and he took Valeria away from them as the ladies watch especially Catherine who was pissed.
