End Game

Cradle

Cradle- DOE.

Lizzie's POV.

So a month and a half has passed since Valen invited me to go to the met gala with her which means that today is the big event, I am very nervous, for the first time we are going to make our relationship public.

I'm not so nervous about making my relationship public with Valentina because it's something I've always wanted, I'm more nervous about the event as such, all eyes will be on us, everyone taking pictures and shouting at us, I think I'll be relieved when I'll be up the stairs doing the final interview.

I have been to this gala only once in my life before Valen invited me, in comparison Valen has been to every gala there has been, we have had a whole month meeting with the designers who were making our dresses and they looked divine.

Right now we are getting ready for the gala at Valen's house, she has a room just for these situations, in front of us there is a long mirror where we can see ourselves perfectly while they do our make up, the room is perfect for them to do the necessary glam on us.

Valentina is sitting in her chair next to me, sipping her Starbucks drink, while her team is doing her makeup and hair, she looks calm, relaxed I dare say, she is scrolling through Instagram, as if she felt my gaze she lifted her head away from the screen and turned to look at me giving me the sweetest smile.

"Nervous?" She asked me.
"A little, you?"
"Not for now, but when we are getting to the event I know the nerves are going to kill me" she says with a giggle.
"Are you excited for this event?" I asked her.
"I'm very excited. The met gala is one of my favorite events of the whole year, I love to see what people wear, what the designers managed to do, every year I meet someone new so it's fun, but I'm more excited because I'm going with you and we are finally going to show the world our love" she says looking very lovingly.
"Aww baby you are the sweetest" I said taking her hand leaving a kiss on it.
"You girls are so cute" her makeup artist says.
"Thank you Ariel, I love you" Valen says to her.

She was about to say something to me when a FaceTime call interrupted her, it was one of her sisters.

"Kiki!" Valen says answering Kim's call.
"Hello dear, where are you?"
"At home getting ready with Lizzie" she says showing me in the screen frame.
"Oh hi Lizzie" Kim says smiling at me.
"Hi Kim"
"What time are you guys going?" Kim asks.
"We'll be there at 7:30pm, what about you?" Valen asks her.
"I'll be there at the same time"
"Great!" Vale says.
"This is your first time going to the gala Lizzie?" Kim asks me and I shake my head.
"No, it's actually my second time, I'm a little nervous" I say with a giggle.
"Don't worry dear we all are a little" Kim says winking at me.
"I guess that's true," I said to her.
"Yes, I have a question for you."
"Shoot" I said to her.
"This is you guys making it official that you are a couple to the public?" Kim asks.
"Yes sis" Valen says smiling.
"Ugh about time, I've been waiting for this for a long fucking time" she says making us laugh.
"So we have your blessing?" I ask her.
"Of course you guys have it, anything that makes you happy makes me happy" she says making us smile.
"I love you Kiki"
"I love you too Val"
"Okay I'll leave you to finish getting ready" Valen says.
"Okay, see you later lovely girls" Kimberly says.
"See you" I say.
"See you sis"

Valen hung up the call and took my hand squeezing it gently and I did the same. She kept looking at Instagram while talking to all of us, I don't know how she could be so calm when I'm about to freak out.

I guess she has done so much of this that she doesn't feel like she has anything to worry about, plus if I were her I wouldn't be worried either, she has the perfect body, the perfect smile, people love her, she is everything.
