Broken Aphrodite

Chapter 42

The last three days were spent out exploring , it just took me out of my bored state . I actually had fun with my father , we rode elephants , we went to the famous temples there and it was great , I got a hell of a tan, which I love . 

 Finally on Wednesday I was excited to get back home but something happened at the airport and our flight was delayed .

 "You must be kidding me ?" I hiss at the woman behind the desk , she looks at me from the corner of her eye , chewing her gum annoyingly loud "I'm not, Miss . please have a seat and wait until we can fix the problem" she says and looks down at her siren red nails dismissing me .

 I glare at her and walk back to where my father is seated . "Our flight is delayed ! can you believe that!" I drop onto the couch next to him . He looks up from the newspaper he's been reading "It's okay darling , I'm sure we won't be kept for too long " he surprises me by his answer .

 I shake my head "Dad the ball is tonight I have to go back home early , take a shower get ready and .." he cuts me off "don't get yourself worked! It won't take long now calm down and wait " he returns to his newspaper . I gape at him , I'm not gonna make it I'm sure . Ah I was stupid enough to book our return on the day of the ball . 

I look at my phone and it was 12 pm . I sigh and close my eyes praying that it won't take long .

....

 "Evangeline ," I hear my fathers voice then his hand on my shoulder shaking me slightly . I open one eye and look around , he's standing and holding his bag "Come on darling , our flight has been called " . I bolt up immediately , I look at my watch and it's 2 : 30 pm , holy shit ! . I slept and it took them so long to fix whatever happened . now I'm one hundred percent sure that I won't make it . I quickly stand and take my bags following my father to our gate, and finally we reach our plane .

Three hours later : 

 "Oh nooo" I whine and bury my face in my hands "I'm so late I can't go back home" I mumble against my palms . we just landed and people are taking their bags and baggage out the cabinets . Papa pats my back and chuckles , yeah laugh at me old man , you're lucky you're not going to the ball  . I stand and start taking our baggage out .

 When we reach the airport gates an idea pops in my head, I only have an hour and half until the ball so I can get ready here , I  have no choice . I turn to my father abruptly "Can you wait for me with Ben in the car? " , he frowns "Why? where are you going?" . 

I nod over the ladies room "I'm going to get ready here , I can't make it if we went home " I answer already making my way to the direction of the rest rooms . papa looks at me confused . I turn and run to the bathroom .

 luck seems to pity me , I found the bathroom empty I check around  then lock myself there . I quickly unzip my bag and take out the only suitable fancy thing I have in my bag , the Saree . I pull it out carefully and strip off my clothes , I have to put new pair of panties and bra , I need black ones with my outfit so I dig around my bag and found them , I take them out and quickly put them on . I take my black set wherever I go , I love them .

 I put on the long skirt and then take out the choli , I put it on and look at myself in the mirror , my chest looks good but not too exposed just an inch of the valley between my breasts , fine by me . then I drape the fall over my left shoulder then tug it in the waist of my skirt from the right side . I love it so much .

 I look at my belly button and smirk , we'll see what is Lucas' reaction to this . I turn back to my bag and take out the small box of makeup , I only packed mascara ,eyeliner and some lipstick . shit I have to get out and buy some from here .
