"Kailangan ba kasama ako?" Paulit kong tinatanong si Quinn, he just sighed and ribboned the corset her made sure it's not too tight for me. He mention attending a ball and now, kasama ako at hindi ko alam yun. My body is tired and I just wan to sleep all night. He kissed my temple and smiled at me as his eyes on me through the mirror.
“Sandali lang naman, kapag antukin ka uuwi agad tayo.” He said softly making her nod. Maybe Quinn's presence was needed and she was need to cooperate. Mas mabuti na iyon kaysa iba ang kasama ni siguro ay sasabog siya.
“You're stunning love.” I smiled. Of course I know, the dress made me extra hot. It was fit kind of dress a silky type as a cloth like corset making everything hug to my body. Kung nagpaulan si lord ng kagandahan, kasexyhan, katalinuhan siguro ay nag s-swimming ako.
I mean, I was never like this. I more like a normal girl but I exceed myself. After all living like normal is like aiming a normal self. If you want to be pretty you have to think like pretty. That's how to enter oozing sexy persona.
I FOUND myself reaching for Quinn's hand. Nakalabas na ito sa limousine, at nakarating na kami sa venue. It was the time for me to step out the limousine. I was nervous because I was small compared to Quinn. Iba ang successful model sa old money aristocrat. Iba ang mundo namin, iba ang patakaran. In this view, I had to fight invisible threats. I feel like living a ancient standards.
Hindi ko alam kong anong mukha ang ihaharap ko. I mean, ang ganda ko lang naman.
Flashing lights, cameras, press and red carpet. I was having flashbacks and thinking it was a fashion shows like I used to attend and modeled about. But it was nothing like back then, this was more elegant and money. The whispers was making me dizzy. I was afraid.
Sino ba naman ako diba? I can't even par with Quinn. He is a Count and I am just a model. A successful one. I was scared getting compared to someone he deserves more. I was more like a doll standing next to him. A display with human thoughts. I feel small. My heart is aching as I walk in uncomfort.
I glanced at Quinn as I found his eyes on me. He knew, it was the first time he would introduce me to his world. The world I was scared about just now. I couldn't manage to smile, my eyes was misted and unsettled.
He squeeze my hand softly as he kissed my cheeks.
“Eyes on me love... I got you.”
Right. He's the one I love not his world. Not his riches, not his title and not his influence. I remember... I liked how he treats me rough with outmost care and warmth. I like it how he would be unable to start his day without bothering me in the Ironov palace. I remembered how he said he likes me for a fact that I always cusses at him and throws things he easily can catch.
Right, I forgot. I love this man not the things surrounds him.
My heart twirls to something warm and made my throat bubbled up. I was confused, happy and glad he was Quinn.
I wanted to cry and sleep in his arms. All of those thoughts while I look on his eyes with a smile on my lips as he smiled back before kissing my ring finger. I just hope not another tradition.
Huge murmurs awoken me and just let him guide me through the crowed. The moment we stepped inside I found being silently awed. High damned ceiling with huge chandelier and waiter everywhere with champagne as with a classy music. The people was busy and occupied with their conversation. A man announced our arrival.
“His highness Count Quintin of Romanov and her highness Countess Daphne Romanova.” I was taken a back with the introduction and mostly shocked about my name. How the fuck my surname became the same with Quin. I just hope he sets this up with his smirk on his lips as he found me glaring him.
