The day of the charity ball has now arrived.

Dick straightened out a scowling Damian's, tie.

"Is she coming?" Tim asked rubbing his eyes as he felt the lack of sleep he had last night, hit him hard.

"After what happened as well as her painting being wrecked? Yeah, right." Jason scoffed out as he scratched his neck, not liking the collar.

"She's coming." Dick said simply as he felt warm inside, he was excited to see Juri again.

He wanted to clear up any misunderstanding and apologise for that instinctive kiss he gave her. But he wanted to confirm if she really likes him.

She had kissed him back, that lingered on his mind for the past month. Her actions made it clear that she wanted him too.

Dahlia and her parents had arrived, they went straight to Bruce, chatting away with him about many things.

"Mr. Wayne, I brought a new artwork in Juri's stead, I didn't want her to feel any way stressed about getting or making another one." She said, lying straight through her teeth.

She knew what she was doing, messing around where her canvas was. She wasn't doing this from the generosity and kindness of her heart.

No, she was doing it because she wanted the attention and the praise that comes along.

"That is very kind of you." Bruce said with a fake smile stretching across his face.

Dahlia had two movers holding the canvas up, carefully.

"Move it down there-"

Gasps were heard as the crowd of people split up, creating a space in the middle as they gaped at their new arrival.

Dick's breathing halted as he saw her, his friend. His love.

She was beyond gorgeous.

Juri looked so attractive.

A black, velvet dress, a slit on the right side going up to her thigh. She had black heels on, a design made out of diamonds embellished on the back.

The dress hugged her perfectly, her bust defined as it was an off shoulder, strapless dress. Her collar bone revealed

She had black velvet gloves slipped onto her hands and stopping at her elbows, pearl bracelets attatched to her wrist with a diamond encrusted ring on her middle finger.

A three layered pearl necklace wrapped around her neck like a choker.

Her hair was straightened and curled, it looked silky as it glistened in the light. Her bangs curled over each other, blocking her eyes.

Her red hair went down in waves all the way down her back, beautifully, bouncing as she strutted.

Each step she took radiated pure confidence and power, her hips swaying in an elegant manner.

The guests had fear and shock written on their faces as Dami trudged close beside Juri.

The dress was simple, yet it managed to do so many wonders to her body. She looked amazing.

Dick's eyes went over her figure continuously, taking in every inch and detail of her.

Two men followed behind Juri, carrying the large painting she had made.

"Juri." Bruce greeted in surprise, she in turn gave him a wide smirk.

"I have the painting finished, I'm sorry for not bringing it in a few days before, I just had to coat it."
