"Do you like this company so much, since you said you have been waiting for this moment?" I looked at him, curious about what he will say.
"Yes. I think they are the best company operating in their fields. I got to know them while I was searching for a new business idea. After I did some research on them, I decided I want to start a building investing business, and I did. It is one of my most profit field. They also made me be interested in the field of architecture. Their philosophy and their work politics made me realize how a company should think for their business. Plus they design very good projects and have created their own identity, which makes them different from the others."
"I see. He must be a very good architect, since he did such a good job, if all what you said it is true." I said while looking at him. I wanted to see his reaction and opinion on what I just said.
"Or she. No one has ever seen the CEO of the company, so we do not know if he is a man or a woman. To be honest, I really wish to be a woman. I would not like to know that I am so impressed and obsessed with a man. Plus I do think that women can be very good architects."
"Right." I said while a faint smile forms in my lips. I finish my plate and stood up to clean the table and the dishes. He continued to eat and after that we did not say anything more. I did the dishes and thanked him for the food and left.
....
Three days has passed and now is Friday. The day of the the event is here. My dress just got delivered and I asked Melissa to send some people to take care of my makeup and hair. This day is very important, so I need to look decent for it. The workers finished and I turned around to look myself in the mirror. I really liked how I looked.
I had a very light and elegant makeup on. I had a nude mate/glossy lipstick on. My lashes were curled and I had some mascara on. The highlight on my cheeks, was looking very good and giving me like a wet, glossy look. I loved it. I had straight hair, falling in my back, with a slick look in the front. I put the small pearl earrings and necklace on. They belong to my mother. I feel like she with me in this day. I need her a lot today.
I put on the dress. It was in dark blue shade, my favorite color and it had an embracing body shape. I put some nude sandals on. And I was ready. I really liked the way I looked. I think I would not like to look any different in this day.
"You look beautiful, my lady. All the women there will be jealous of the way you look and all the men will be jealous why they can not have you." The worker chuckled while covering her mouth with her hand.
"Thank you. That is so kind of you."
"Sara, are you ready? We are getting late." I could hear Aron's voice from downstairs.
I took my clutch bag and went downstairs together with the workers. I headed to the stairs and there he was waiting for me.
He had a black tuxedo on, with a dark blue scarf in the pocket that matched my dress so well. His hair were slick and looked very good. He looked very classy and I could tell that this event means a lot to him, since I think he looks better than our wedding day. Plus after I saw him in those pajamas on, is difficult for me to see him again this dressed up. I was going down and I noticed an expression on him, that I do not know how to call. If I did not know what we really are, I would think that he is stunned by my beauty. That is what other women would say if a man would look at them, the way he is looking at me, but then I remember what we are and there is no way this man would be attracted by me.
He composed himself very quick and turned around to head towards the door.
Again, such a gentleman. I was not expecting anything from him, but still at least say something. Lucky me... I have such a great husband.
I followed him and got in the car. The driver started the engine and we left the house. While we were driving, Melissa called me.
"Yes, everything okay?" I said while worrying, since I told her to call me only in case of an urgency. I also could not speak very easily since Aron was in the car with me.
"Yes, yes. Do not worry, I know that you told me not to call you, but I really wanted to tell you that I am proud of you. This night is very important and special for all of us, so it is going to be great. Just enjoy it. Ah.. and also I called you to tell you that the press is already here. I can find another entrance for you, if you do not want to meet them."
"It's okay. I have to do this, this time." I sighed. In other occasions, I would never pass and meet them. I still do not understand why meeting them is that important. I am not someone that is changing the fate of our population, but there are people who likes the attention, so I have to respect their wishes.
"Okay. Remember, just enjoy it." She hang up, and I was again in the silence of the car. He was looking all the time outside the window and he never said any word. I guess this is more comfort for both of us.
"We are here." The driver said.
I started to get ready and open the door, when his words stoped me.
"Wait. There is the press, so we need to act like a couple in front of them. It means, I may hold your hand and arm if it is needed. Also, we will take pictures, so we need to stay close to each other."
Right. I always forget that events like this, need those things. Even though I do not want to, there is nothing I can do. I do not want any comments tonight, so I will make a blind eye and pretend like nothing happened.
"Okay."
He got out and came to open the door for me. What a showman. Here he is was in the car and did not say anything, and now he is acting like a caring husband, that would not even let the driver open the door, but would do it himself.
Enjoy it Sara. Remember, this your special night. Do not let things like this upset you. I held his hand to get out and wrapped my arm around his, so he could lead me. We passed through the white carpet and there were many journalists waiting for us. As soon as we stepped in the carpet the cameras started flashing.
"You look stunning...So good...Beautiful...A little bit to the left...Closer." They started to scream. Huh... they never stop.
He put his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him, in order for us to take the picture. I was startled by his move and was looking at him. I guess I had an angry expression on, since he got so close to me and whispered in my ear. I could feel his warm breath on my body and his cologne. I heard him, and did what he said to me. I really hate it when I have to act as he instructs me. Again, remember Sara. Everything is okay. Enjoy the night.
