"I love your dress, Cata." I compliment her two-piece pink dress with embroidered rose texture that shows off her abdomen and stands out her curves.

"Thanks, girl." She smiles, looking at me in the mirror, not directly turning her head because we are having our hair and make-up done by the staff.

"You know, this is a bit unreal." She widens her eyes a bit.

"I know." I smile.

"So..." She begins.

"How did you guys meet, huh?" She lifts her palms up, giving me a look.

"Uh, yeah..." I chuckle a bit.

"I will tell you, when we are... At home." I force out a smile, avoiding that topic because I feel like now isn't a good time to tell her.

I need time to think about where to start, plus, I just don't like talking when there are strangers around.

...

Catalina and I walk out to meet Damon after we are finished, to find him focusing on his phone with one hand resting inside his pants' pocket.

He looks hot in that pose.

Jeez, brain, stop.

When he notices us advancing closer, he puts away his phone.

He immediately captures my gaze and just mine only, his gaze was not initially meeting anyone else's but mine and that makes me feel so special.

Those silver eyes are so mesmerizing...

And they only focus on me?

Gosh...

The distance between us is just a few feet, getting to him should only take seconds but somehow, right now, it feels like I'm walking in slow motion and this is taking hours.

I want to look away but I don't, instead, I indulge myself in admiring his overall attractiveness through my peripheral vision with my eyes still fixated upon his silver ones.

He looks so good with his newly gelled and combed hairstyle, which was probably just done earlier.

I know I have checked him out before and honestly, I thought I would get used to his looks by now but I...

I can't help it, I think I'm only finding him more and more enthralling the more time we spend together.

When I get to stand before him, his eyes are still visibly scanning my entire body, checking me out, again.

I wonder what he is thinking about me right now...

"Seems like you girls are ready to go." He begins with an exhale, looking at Catalina to avoid my eyes, then down at his wrist, shifting his stance.

His face is cold and unreadable again, but before that happens, I managed to catch a glimpse of something more in his expression.

I wonder if I'm making him...

"Psst." Catalina gently nudges me and I get forced out of my trance.

I turn over and she whispers into my ear. "Hey, who am I going with?"

Oh shoot!

I totally forgot about that...

Who is going with her now?

I mean, Damon is going with me already...

Right?

"Uh..."

"Hey Damon?" I clench my lips at him.

"Yes?" His eyes meet mine again, and that makes me a bit shy.

"My friend is... Uh..." I look at Catalina and then back at him with an awkward smile.

"She doesn't have a date yet..."

"Seriously?!" Samuel ascends from his seat vexingly.

"Come on!" He clasps the back of his head with both hands.

"Dude! He has beaten your ass four freaking times in a row!" Jolene slumps into her seat, pressing her back against the cushion as she guffaws.

"You are just lucky, Liam." Samuel huffs, sitting down again and rolling his eyes.

"Correction." Liam raises a brow and a finger.

"I'm just good at this." He smirks, arranging the chess pieces preparing for the next match.

Suddenly, everyone's phone makes a notification sound.

"Did you get that?" Samuel searches for his phone.

"Yeah, I did." Liam shrugs, not bothered checking.

"It's the group message guys." Jolene chimes in, staring at the latest message.

"It was from boss." She continues.

"What does it say?" Samuel eyes her questioningly while Liam fidgets with a chess piece.

"It says Sam, Liam and Hassan you all have to..."

"Have to what?" Samuel asks and Liam can't help but turn over at the mention of his name.

"Oh gosh, what is this shit." She tries to hold back laughter, covering her mouth with her hand as her eyes widen at the text.

"What?"

"He demands y'all..." She raises her index finger up, demanding total focus on her as she pauses to add a dramatic effect.

"To take your own selfie and send it in the group!"

"What the fuck?!"
