Black Rose

6. Worst Crime

AURORA

Day: 12 November 🥀

Today it's finally the day I've been waiting for months, the ball. I planned everything, what I would wear, what would Elijah wear, EVERYTHING.

Well I just feel bad for my sister, she unfortunately doesn't have a date cause she says the boys that i showed her are 'disgusting' but they weren't, they were the same age as her, and they were all in the football team.
She is stubborn, I can't do anything about it.
She will go with me and Elijah, and then go have fun by herself, I know it sounds mean, but she said she wanted it like this.
We tried asking Rhys too for a date but he said rapidly no. He's 8 years older than me and he sees us as children.

I got out of the box the white dress with blue details Kai has given me, it was so beautiful and it matched with the season. And it didn't actually make me feel... fat.
Elijah had an elegant costume that had some blue and white details too.
But the most beautiful part about my outfit was the purse, my Dior purse.
And for the shoes I got the Yves Saint Laurent heels in black version, so majestic.
Only 2 hours before the ball starts, and only now I started to get ready, I know, so stupid of me thinking I can get it all done in 2 hours.
I rapidly get into the bathroom ready to get a quick shower, I already know I'm going to sweat a lot.

I put on some house clothes and went to my makeup station.

I did my makeup inspired to the Victoria's Secret winter angels from the 2000's, it came out pretty good, of course the glitters had their shine, and I loved it. Although I miss Victoria's Secret shows, I used to watch them since I was little, and do I even have to say how Gisele Bündchen and Adriana Lima were literally ICONS? All the models were icons. I wish I was like them, that body and face.

I got dressed and I let my hair down from the hair curls that were heartless, and they looked so good on my butterfly cut.

I was ready, just sprayed Chanel N 5 on my neck, wrists and back of my neck.
I then put on some silver jewelry.

I was finally ready, Elijah was waiting for me downstairs. It feels like it's prom, even though it's in a few months.

I go downstairs to see him.
"Darling, you look more beautiful than ever" Elijah says as he takes my hand and helps me.
My sister was there too. She was so beautiful with that lilac dress that hugged her curves perfectly.

Rhys probably has gone with one of his hoes, but I didn't actually care that much.

We all go into Elijah's car - Mercedes-Benz G-Class - and drive to the place where the ball was supposed to attend.
When we arrived there were lots of people, most of them were armed, but it was normal.
I got out of the car and entered with Elijah by my side and Astrid right behind us.
"Name please?" The waiter asks.
"Aurora Nyx Volkov" I say proudly.
"Elijah Clemonte"
"You can go in," the waiter indicated through the entrance.
The first thing that I noticed were the decorations, but then the second thing that I noticed was Kai, with a woman, a really attractive one.
I don't know why but she looks familiar.. probably his girlfriend.
He stares at me with a little smirk.
Probably because I was wearing his gifts.
I seated at the bar with Elijah
"What do you want to drink?" He asks looking with happy eyes
"A mimosa"
"One mimosa and a whisky please" the bartender nods and starts making the drinks. I look around and see lots of faces I recognize - Saint, my parents, Brooke and Blake dancing, and other people I only saw because they did business with us.

"How has therapy been?" I turn towards Elijah "Good, it made me regret all the things I did to you, I'm glad your arm is almost recovered. I love you, and I'm so sorry"
"I'm glad"
My hand didn't have the cast anymore, fortunately I can move it now without it hurting.
He kissed me, but I felt someone watching us, Kai.
Why did he watch us if he has a girlfriend already? I mean I think so, I'm not sure.
