Y/N pov:
Today is the day of the gala to celebrate Alessandro. I am so excited because I get to wear a really pretty dress and heels. The people at these galas are often quite weird, but they're all scared to death of Alessandro, but that doesn't stop some of them from looking.
Tonight the dress code is black tie, a very formal outfit, which is my favourite. I spent about three weeks trying to find the best dress for tonight. It's a black dress with a corset top. With a long, flowing button and a slit that goes down to my mid-thigh. It's perfect.
I was in the bathroom putting the finishing touches to my makeup. I had found my mascara and was getting ready to put on some lipstick. I was going through my makeup bag to find some lip balm to prep my lips when I accidentally picked it up and dropped it on the floor.
"Crap." I knelt down to pick it up. I was about to apply it to my lips when I felt my arms snake around my waist.
"You look so beautiful, Princess, so beautiful," Alessandro whispers in my ear.
"You look pretty good yourself," I say back, giggling.
There are a few seconds of silence as I start to put on my lip balm.
"You know, we could stay here a bit longer; I mean, we are the main event of the gala, so I guess we would be fashionably late to show up." Alessandro says as he kisses my neck.
"Absolutely no, no way," I say, pushing him off me, knowing exactly what will happen if I don't.
"That's okay, princess; I understand, but if you want."
"No bear."
"OK, OK."
I continue to apply my lip balm, making sure I have covered every part of my lip.
"That looks nice; can I try some?"
"Yeah, sure," I said, handing Alessandro the lip balm. He takes it but then puts it on the counter.
"I was thinking of another way," he says with a smile.
"What other way?" I say, but before I can finish my sentence, Alessandro lifts my chin with his fingers and gives me a very passionate kiss.
The kiss lasts about 7 seconds before he pulls away and leans his forehead against mine.
"We have to leave in 5 minutes; I'll see you downstairs," he says before planting a soft kiss on my nose and then my forehead before walking away.
I stood there a little confused at what had just happened.
After a moment to collect myself, I put on my lipstick and went downstairs to the front of the house.
The room was filled with sharp-suited security guards, and Alessandro was standing in the middle, waiting for me.
When he saw me, his eyes lit up and he walked over to me, taking my hand in his and leading me into a hug.
"Are you ready now princess?"
"Yes I am. I feel like I'm always getting dressed up."
"Well, I love it."
