Celeste's POV
Today was the day.
The day of the annual ball had arrived. As a child, I had heard many stories about this day but never had I experienced what it was like. Today I would be able to say I, Celeste De La Rosa, had attended a freakin ball and experienced those boujie events that rich people boast about.
This years theme was simple yet elegant: fairytale. I had chosen a floor length gown that was embellished with diamonds and pearls. The slit that travelled all the way up to my hip added a subtle hint of sexiness, it was just the look I was going for.
Of course I had to invite Leia to the ball, she would kill my Latina ass if I didn't. She also had fantasised about this since she was a little girl, so I couldn't not invite her.
"Babe, I'm so excited. Do you think I should pack this dress or this dress?" She shows me a red strapless and black midi over FaceTime.
"Bring all the dresses you've got, we bout to go loco!"
"Yes Cee, damn right! You don't need Lorenzo. That son of a bitch, wait till I get my hands on him."
"Leia I'm wheezing, I love you so much!" I laugh before becoming serious.
"I love you too Cee but girl imma rip his balls out. He's gonna wish he didn't mess with us." She smirks.
"LEIA his balls are mine, you can have his biceps."
"CEE, HIS BICEPS ARE YUCKY!" She says flapping her arms.
"Yucky?" We both erupt into laughter from Leia's childish behaviour.
A knock on the door pulls me out of the moment.
"Leia, I'll call you back later."
"Come in!"
"Celeste this just came for you in the post!" Mama emerges from the door with a parcel.
"That's strange, I didn't order anything." I say confused.
"Well open it up, let's see what it is."
I rip the packaging open to be met with a luxurious box. It is adorned with a silky bow and attached is a little gift card. It reads:
Thought of you when I saw these, I'll be waiting for you.
-L
I hastily unwrap the bow to find the most beautiful shoes I have set eyes on. I trail my fingers over the delicate stitching and design of the heel as the sunlight catches the diamonds that are adorned onto the shoe.
"Their gorgeous Celeste, I'm sure you'll make them look even better."
"Thank you Mama, were you able to see who delivered these?" I say as my thumb runs over the gift card where the initial of the L lies.
