Always Romira

"Here all set. Now slowly open your eyes."

I obey.

And I am not able to believe my eyes.

The reflection staring back does not look anything like me.

The smoky eyes, innocent lips and lazy bun, nothing resembles me but somehow they all fit me just fine.

If Nancy had stunned me earlier, this person in the mirror has left me with nothing.

The girl, no not girl, it's a woman, wearing the same dazzled expression as me, appears to be a sexy confident lady who is ready for everything the world has to offer, she looks ready to get into the battle of elite seduction and planning to come out as the winner.

The black dress hangs low, showing enough but leaving the rest for the imaginations. It fits perfectly to my curves, highlighting portions. The back is dipped but a layer of lace gives it the modesty. The heels are strapped perfectly fit and I'm so glad they have wedges. 

"Oh my!" Reaching out to touch my face, I force myself to accept the obvious truth.

"Beautiful, aren't you?"

Turning my attention away from mirror, I give Nancy a smile of gratification, "Thank you so much, Nancy."

"Hey, don't thank me. It's all you, Akira. All I have done is to bring out your features that you prefer to hide." She grins, "But I'll take the credit for the dress. I had finished it just two back and it has not been out in market yet."

"You were right this dress is awesome. I feel confident now. I was worried about this party but not anymore."

"Good. Here is advice to handle these type of parties because I have feeling it isn't to be your last anytime soon, don't show weakness in front of those people, not even for second, maintain your cool. They love to rip apart the weak, I know that by experience but I don't think you need to worry much about it all. You will have your Knight with you."

True.

I will have Romero with me and I'm always grateful for that.

But I also want to be able to take care of myself so that I won't have to look for Romero every time I'm in trouble.

I'm already dependent on him in so many levels when it comes to emotionally, I would rather not increase the burden on him.

True, this world is new to me and it also scares me a little but would I let drive me away?

Heck no.

I am a fighter baby, bring it on.

"Thank you for the advice I'll keep that in mind."

"No problem. I should leave now. I also need to ready."

"You would be there too?"

I didn't know that.

"Hell yeah. It's fiftieth anniversary of the King's industries. Its going to be grand. Wouldn't miss it. Specially the fireworks. Plus Mr. Right could be there." She winks.

I love fireworks.

I smile, "I hope you meet your Mr. Right today. So I guess I'll see you there then."

"You bet. See ya."

"Bye."

Collecting all her stuffs, she moves toward the door before waving me goodbye.
