"I will be wearing that?" I exclaimed as I looked at the dress which hung in front of me.

"er....Yes - only if you're comfortable with it. I'll not force you to wear it if you're not comfortable." Calvin spoke after clearing his throat. We are currently in my room, standing in front of my dresser. In front of me, a silk dress hung on a hanger, presented by some people - who I didn't know of - had also left by now.

"I just um.." I stuttered and moved towards the dress. My hands trailed on the fabric of that silky dress; shining upon the reflections of light on it. A spaghetti strapped dress, a backless one with straps on the back to tie them. It was black colored, with folds on the waist line and the cleavage - which wasn't really deep, just the way I liked. In other words, It was just splendid!

"It's just.... Beautiful!" Amused, I spoke. A small smile had casted upon my lips and my palms were pressed together as a sign of admiration. I felt quite happy seeing the dress of my dreams! He nodded in response and passed a soft, yet tiny smile in response.

"It's perfect...I'm not uncomfortable...but..." I paused, heaving a sigh. "I don't know how it would look on me...It's just...perfect..." That sudden feeling of insecurity wasn't new to me. I had always felt that whenever I bought something for myself, or had tried. "I.....don't know if it would......suit me.."

He let out a soft chuckle and strides towards me. "You never know." he paused, "you have to try it first before saying it won't fit you."

"What do you think?" I asked, turning around with a glint of hope in my eyes. As I turned around, I met with those sincere hazel eyes which held an emotion in them that I couldn't comply with. His lips had a slight smile as he looked at me. And of course, he masked them instantly with a straight face. Was he smiling when he was looking at me?

"I think you'll look exquisite." he responded, with his eyes soft. I bit my lip and gave it a thought with my eyes on the ground.

I shrugged, "I guess I will give it a try."

He nodded in response and I made my way to my huge closet. God, this whole room is big as hell.

"I'll be leaving, you can get ready. I'll be downstairs." He said, turning around.

"Wait wait- Calvin!" I called out his name.

"Yes?" He turned around with confused eyes.

I shifted my gaze to the ground, "do you mind sitting here? I mean I really do need an opinion on the dress..." I spoke while biting my lower lip, unintentionally.

I heard a quiet sigh and then his voice, "sure, if you're comfortable." His honey-like voice made me melt inside, I don't know for what reason.

I nodded lightly and he sat on the couch, which was in the corner of the room.

"Is Lia home?" I ask just before going.

His gaze lifted from his phone and he looked at me, "Well, uh...After cleaning the kitchen - which is almost done; she'll be leaving."

"Oh, okay." I walk towards the door of my closet and bathroom area with the silk dress on my hands. There I stood, in front of my closet. The bathroom area, which opened to the door to my left. I slowly kept the dress on the couch present there. I lazily walk towards my bathroom, opening the door with slow steps.
