Chapter 25: Wine here, wine there

Celia's POV

I am currently in my apartment, it's the day of the dinner in Lizzie's house. I can't stop thinking about what could have happened if Rose didn't have that nightmare Scarlett looked so hot under me, now I can't stop thinking about that, great. I'm not horny, I promise, but come on, I'm only human. I'm really glad that she felt comfortable enough for me, even if we didn't do anything else in the end, the fact that she told that she wanted me, made feel so good. Not because of the sex, but because of the trust she has on me, god it was amazing.

Let's see how it goes today. I don't know why I'm nervous, I already know Lizzie and she is one of the sweetest people I'ver ever met, and I'm sure that her husband is also very nice. I was wearing a black blazer with black dressed pants and a champagne trop, honstely, I think I look really good.

The other day Kate and I had lunch with Austin and Pedro. Pedro was very relaxed with all the Elizaben Arden thing, apparently he already has a plan to sort everything out, don't ask me what because he didn't want to tell us, he wanted to be... misterious? Whatever, Austin told me that, with all the people he knows, it wouldn't be strange that he had found someone that could save his ass with it so, whatever.

There was a moment in which Kate and Pedro left to do unholy things, so I stayed with Austin. We had a walk around the city, it was very nice. We talked about how good our company is going and he also asked me about Scarlett, he looked genuinely happy when he saw that I was very good with her, and I'm glad it's like that. I really appreciate him. We even talked a bit about all the mess with my father, not about everything, but many things. It felt really nice to talk about with someone else that isn't Kate, don't get me wrong, she is like my sister, but it was like a relieve to let it out with someone else. I want to tell Scarlett also, but I don't know why it's being so difficult for me to do so.

Anyways, I put my perfume on, took the bouquet and give Goose his dinner, my poor baby, I should spend more time with him. I was picking Scarlett up and I didn't want to be late, so I arrived there a few minutes earlier. I also bought a bottle of wine for Lizzie, it was difficult as hell to find some spanish wine, but I got it!

When it was almost time, I opened the door of my car and went into her house. I knocked a couple times, until someone opened the door, someone that wasn't Scarlett.

"Hi, Celia. I'm Hunter, maybe you don't remember me, we saw each other in a restaurant once, I'm Scarlett's brother" Ooooh I remember now. Yeah I didn't recognize at first honestly, but he doesn't need to know that, does he?

"Hi Hunter, of course I remember you, how are you doing?" I asked stepping inside and shaking his hand.

"I'm doing great, staying with the little princess tonight. Scarlett is almost ready, you can wait for in the living room"

"Celia!!!" I turned my head and put the wine and the flowers on the table of the entrance fast enough to catch Rose.

"Hello princess! How are you doing honey?"

"I'm very good! Uncle Hunter is staying with me tonight! We are doing a sleepover!" Oh, so Scarlett is staying at Lizzie's then?

I followed Rose to the living room to wait for Scarlett there. I was sitting on the sofa when I heard some heels going down the stairs. I turned around to find a literal angel.

Her emerald dress billowed around her knees, catching the light with every step. The fabric hugged her curves I'm so in love with in all the perfect places, not to tight nor too loose. The neckline dipped gracefully, accentuated by a gold necklace against her collarbone that gave her a touch of elegance. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders in loose, barely-there curls that moved up and down with every step she took. The sight of her made me feel those butterflies in my stomach again, nervousness and happiness at the same time. The elegance and beauty in her pure state, call me cheesy if you want, but you would have to pick up your jaw if you saw this.
