Another Love Story

Chapter 8

Rose's P.O.V

I looked at the three dresses lying on my bed carefully. I don't know why but I want to look my best. It's stupid, me trying to impress him.

I informed them about this party in yesterday's report. I had to but I didn't wanted to. I don't know what I want anymore.

All three dresses were beautiful definitely expensive too. I finally decided on the second one. It was a grey tulle gown. The sequins on the bodice were shining brightly. It also had a slit on the right leg.

Placing the other two gowns in their bags neatly, I started getting ready. I am no expert in doing my make up or hair, so I asked for a phone to access YouTube. Alex gave me one without thinking twice which made me feel guilty again. Why does he trust me so much? He shouldn't.

Following the detailed video step by step, I was done in about two hours. I had to redo it several times because I always ended up putting something extra or less.

I put on my dress with great difficulty. It's no joke, trying to wear a dress without any help. I looked at the time and quickly put on my heels.

I don't even want to know how much he spent on everything. Everything seemed to be from one luxury brand or another.

I sat down on the bed waiting for him. He told me he will come get me from my room and I shouldn't leave it. I watched some random videos on the phone while waiting.

After about fifteen minutes, there was a knock on the door. He entered and I swear I lost my breath for a second there.

He was looking gorgeous in a fitted black tux. He smiled once his gaze landed on me and I smiled back.

"You look-" He said as his eyes travelled all the way from my head to toe. "Spectacular."

My face flushed, "You look great too."

"Not more than you but thanks." He held up his hand and I took it. The warmth of his hand seeped into mine.

A car was waiting for us outside and he opened the door for me. He also helped me inside because it was very difficult to get in with a dress. Everything is difficult with a dress, isn't it?

We didn't talk at all in the car. I was too busy thinking. Now that all the evidence is sent, they could be preparing for an attack. I have no knowledge of it whatsoever.

I didn't realise when we reached but he was standing infront of me opening my door. I held his hand and walked with him to the entrance.

There were several bodyguards all over the venue. And many people wearing tuxes and dresses were entering.

We also went inside and I was astonished. The decorations were so beautiful it looked like a castle. Some people were dancing in the middle, waiters were walking around with drinks and snacks.

People were talking, laughing overall having a great time. Alex greeted several people walking in while holding my hand tightly.

He didn't introduce me to anyone and I was grateful for that. I had no idea what I am to him. And I guess he doesn't either. It's a complicated relationship- I am not sure if we even have a relationship.

After mingling around for a bit, we were finally left alone. I was looking around, everyone seemed to be happy. Or they are great at acting.

"May I have this dance?" Alex suddenly asked making me look at him.

"Dance?" I asked not sure whether I heard it correctly or it was my imagination playing tricks on me.

"Dance. Let's dance." He said grabbing my hand and walking towards the middle.
