Black Silk

CHAPTER 29

NADIA'S POV

I walk through the door into our hotel room, looking around I see Taliya, and Idaya sitting with their backs against the headboard of one of the beds. As soon as I close the door behind me, they both turn in my direction smiling weirdly.

"What?"

"A package came for ya" Daya says pointing to the matte black box, with a black silk ribbon sitting on the other bed. How did I not notice that?

Taliya pauses whatever they were watching as I gradually walk towards it, knowing exactly who it's from "what is it?"

They both shrug "don't know" Taliya replies as they both watch me unite the bow resting on the top. I slowly open the top to see a small card with a note

"What does it say?" I glance up from the card to look at the two of them who have been staring at me since I walked through the door.

I look down at the hand written note in my hands and read it out loud:

Be ready by eight.
~R

I look back up to see them both sitting on the bed well Idaya sitting and Taliya laying on their stomach, behind the box in front of me. I hand the small card to them as I move to the other contents of the... Gift? "Ooh fancy, but where is he taking you?" Idaya ask's examining the card, back and front.

"He didn't say." I reply moving the tissue paper covering whatever was inside. "Oh my..." I trail off as I run my hand across the soft, slightly sparkly, champagne coloured material before pulling it out completely and holding it out in front of me taking a step back.

The dress was A-line, long so it'd probably reach my ankles, with almost transparent puffy sleeves, and a v-neck line that didn't go too low so I wouldn't be flashing anyone, it was perfect, frankly put. I turn it and hold it up against me so they can see too. "Oh wow..." Idaya says staring at it. "Damn, man's got taste I must say" Taliya blurts causing us all to laugh.

"Oooh there's more" she says looking down inside the open box and I follow her gaze stepping forwards, to see the heels placed neatly at the bottom.

"Holy shit, I can't wear those I can barely walk straight bare foot" I frown picking up one of them. The heels match the dress perfectly, being the same champagne almost nude colour, with gems that would wrap around my foot to just above my ankle.

"How'd he get the right size?" Idaya asks taking her eyes of the shoe in my hands. Surprisingly they are my exact size and I honestly don't think I want to know how he found out.

"I don't know...lucky guess?..."

"Anywho!, it's six fifty, so you should start getting ready"

"Right"

~~~

Standing before the full length mirror staring at myself, I look like a whole different different person, I don't look like me... But I'm not mad about it, infact I like it, definitely something different to my normal attire. I had already done my make-up a fairly minimal look, a subtle Smokey eye and a pink lip.

I brush of the non-existent dust from the dress and make my way to the door. As soon as they see me both their eyes widen and jaws drop, I chuckle, I cant look that good can I?. "You look stunning!" Idaya stated like it was obvious, picking up her camera and taking a photo "I second that" Taliya adds.

"Stop exaggerating" I insist felling my cheeks burning up because of their compliments.

"Bloody hell nads, just take the compliment" I smile and shake my head.
