plot twist pt. 2

Song for the chapter: Feel Special by Twice

Audrey's POV:

The afternoon sun casts a warm glow through my window, signaling that it's time to start preparing for Jeremiah's party. As I do my skincare routine putting on a sheet mask, my phone buzzes.

I pick it up to see a text from Andres: "Hey Audrey! Can't wait for the party tonight. Mind if I swing by and pick you up at 6? 😊"

A rush of excitement washes over me as I read his message. I quickly type back, "Of course! See you at 6! 🥰"

With a smile on my face, I reach for the dress that Stella and I picked out the previous night. It's a stunning black and white off-shoulder dress that I know will make a statement. Slipping into it, I feel a sense of anticipation building up inside me.

Next, I move to my vanity and start on my hair, styling it just right. I spot Stella's most expensive makeup collection that she left behind and think, why not? Carefully, I apply her high-end Rhode beauty peptide glazing milk and glazing fluid, followed by her chanel concelar, blush, lip gloss, and lipstick. A touch of highlighter on the high points of my face and neck adds the perfect glow.

I spritz on some Chanel perfume, the scent filling the room with a sophisticated air. Feeling a bit bolder, I pick out a pair of cute earrings, rings, and a delicate bracelet to complete the look. Finally, I slip on my prettiest heels and step back to admire the effect.

Glancing in the mirror, I'm pleasantly surprised by my reflection. I actually look... beautiful. With a satisfied smile, I grab a gorgeous bag from Stella's collection, thinking it's a shame not to take advantage of her impeccable taste while she's away.

As I strike a few poses and snap some selfies, the doorbell rings, signaling Andres's arrival. My heart flutters with excitement as I give myself one last look in the mirror.

I head to the door, my heels clicking softly against the floor. When I open it, Andres stands there, looking as handsome as ever. His eyes widen when he sees me, and I can't help but mirror his expression.

We both smile at each other, our gazes locking. He steps forward and gives me a light hug. "Wow, Audrey, you look really pretty," he says softly.

Blushing, I respond, "Thank you, Andres. You don't look too bad yourself."

He laughs, a warm, genuine sound. "Yeah, I know!"

We both chuckle as we walk towards his car. Andres's driver, an older gentleman with a kind smile, steps forward and opens the door for us. Just as I'm about to get in, a thought strikes me.

"But wait," I say, turning to Andres, "we should click a few pictures here. We don't even have a lot of pictures together, and we might not get the chance to take many at the party. Why don't we take some in the backyard or the garden?"

Andres nods, his smile widening. "That's a great idea."

We walk to the garden, where the flowers are in full bloom, creating a beautiful backdrop. Andres's driver, accommodating as ever, takes my phone and starts snapping pictures of us. We pose together, laughing and enjoying the moment. The photos turn out beautifully, capturing our excitement and the budding connection between us.

Once we're satisfied with the pictures, we thank the driver and get into the car. As we drive towards the party, I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. Tonight is going to be unforgettable.

As we reach there, Andres and I enter the grand farmhouse in the car. The place is enormous, with a sprawling lawn, a glittering pool filled with people, and extravagant decorations that make everything look magical. I can't help but feel a thrill of excitement.
