Rose OF Jericho

Rose Of jericho (3)

"dear I would love for you to attend the party this weekend" Mrs.Ostwald said putting her fork aside... 

"yes, mam...I will try my best to be there" I replied solemnly ....no way I thought I would rather commit suicide than have a party with her son and nephew the double "A" devils... 

¤¤ 

I took out one of my most favourite dresses..aah so apparently I have failed to escape this party... I am not a girl who dresses up like a pretty princess all the time..I am too lazy to even brush my hairs on daily basis ..but tonight i needed to look my best..after all i was about to be surrounded by some of the most richest people and i didn't wanna go looking like a beggar

I checked myself out in front of the bathroom mirror..yeah the dress was perfect.It was a long Pakistani dress yet It was something I could wear here in the Us with out having people think I was a freak. The dress was black with silver embroidery at the bottom .It flowed smoothly down to my feet. The cuff and the collar of the dress were decorated by small shining stones..I wore a diamond cut bracelet and earrings and tied my hair into a side braid....I had put on one of my favourite rings and high black heels...mwwwaah perfect just a bit of my precious red gloss and my mascara and i would be done..

"wow zoye! You look stunning" Katie shrieked and Jessica also gave me an appreciative nod  

i reached the main Hall of the mansion and I was amazed by how well it was decorated...vases upon vases of white and red roses decorated the room.A long table bearing eatables was placed along the east wall of the hall. The soft music playing in the background made it all the more amazing.. 

As I descended I could feel several faces turn towards me.I looked up to see appreciative looks in most of those faces.The double A devils were standing at the bottom of the staircase for welcoming the guests.Alex gave me a wide smile but I kept my face blank his cousin on the other hand kept a stern look yet he was also unable to hide the fact that he was stunned by me...obviously they didn't think I could look so good their reaction made me all the more confident...

I made sure I kept away from the double A devils but no they had enjoyed me far too much to leave me alone and five minutes later I was greeted by Allen Ostwald who clearly against his will smiled at me.. I am gonna make sure Mr. That your bloody ego is doomed..i made a mental note to myself

"hey, enjoying the party?" he said now smiling even more radiantly 

...yeah  jerk ..If you could just get lost

"yes,its great" I replied blankly 

"how is your leg" he asked in a concerned voice 

...you ain't foolin me you bas***d 

"yes its better"..again i replied blankly..no smiles for a devil like him 

"are you mad at me for bumping into you that day?" he asked trying to fake a smile..yup my blank reaction was killing him 

"oh no, not at all".I replied coolly 

"I think I could use a drink, excuse me!" i added and left him standing their..ignoring him made me feel better..he deserved it that shrimp

I played tic tack toe with a cute little boy sitting next to me..he was adorable ..after about an hour his father approached us and sat on a nearby chair ..he seemed to be in his late twenties and he had nice gentle features. 

"here dear meet Andrew he is my niece's husband, a really nice man" Mrs.Ostwald said beaming at him and he gave her a big jolly smile 

"nice to meet You" i replied
