A MAN TO HONOR

chapter thirty four

Kailah

The following days, I just witnessed my family creating the strongest bond with my boyfriend

It's still crazy to call him that way

I can't believe I just step out my fears and give that incredible man a chance to show me what true love actually looks like

And I've been feeling overwhelmed everytime I think about that lately

All we did these days was sightseeing, horseback riding, running errands together around town, eating a lot, dancing and having fun

Our craziest night is still yesterday night after we came back from luztopia and then went clubbing after with my cousins

Taehyung tried to go with the flow but he always passed out as soon as we got home

Today was finally my grandma's birthday and our fourth day in Monterrey

To celebrate all together, we just organized a big outdoor dinner in our backyard

But still, everyone gets fancy, dressing up as if we were going out for a fancy dinner

I get ready in Eliana's room with a few other cousins, I mean... girls getting ready all together is just another type of vibe

I chose to wear a Vivienne Westwood corseted dress, an elegant, floor-length gown with an off-the-shoulder neckline and a draped, cowl-like front. The dress features a vibrant, abstract pattern with shades of red, orange, brown, and beige, and includes a long, flowing sash attached at one shoulder, adding an asymmetrical, dramatic flair. The lightweight, sheer fabric allows the colors to blend seamlessly, while the fitted waist and subtle train enhance its graceful and sophisticated look, giving me a body worthy of an exhibition in an art museum

I'm pretty sure that if Leonardo da Vinci had been part of our generation, I would have been his muse and not that Monalisa hanging in the Louvre

I go for a nude makeup look and a very slick high bun hairstyle, the dress is dramatic enough, no need to be dramatic with the hair and makeup as well

" You're stunning tonight and this dress..." Says one of my cousins while stepping in front of the dresser to put some lipgloss

" I'm sure this dress won't last all night on you " adds another

And that makes everyone laugh in the room

" My man is actually a gentleman, stop with your dirty thoughts " I retort

" A gentleman, we have no doubt, but he'll take it off anyway..."

" Very... gently, very chivalrous " adds Eliana

" Very courteous, very refined " continues one of my cousins

" Oh shut up!!! You're insufferable "

They all laugh

I smile slightly as I shake my head

We finally join everyone else outside, and I feel my heart flutter when I see Taehyung standing next to the long table under the soft string lights, talking to Fabian and Mariano

I actually think Mariano and Taehyung look the same in their way of acting

Two grandpas

But I love them both...my grandpas

Eliana joins Fabian and this one points at me so Taehyung can see me

His eyes soften once they lay on me

He looks at me with amazement, admiration and love

My cheeks go pink as I feel his gaze scanning me

I stand here motionless and he excuses himself to my brothers before he joins me
