Back To Black

Molded By Daniel

I paced around the place like someone who was awaiting for bad news. I found myself trying on clothes, changing, having an outfit, and then changing again. I didn't want to disappoint Daniel, or the family. The fact that they were trusting me with something so important to their family and their business made me feel special.

"What about this?" I came out of the room, and faced Daniel, who was in a suit, with anticipation. I had pinned up my hair, into a bun, at the back of my head.

I wore a red dress, that tied into a knot on one side, while the other side was strappless. The dress stopped before my kness and had a black belt across the top of my stomach. The dress, itself was silk. My black heels set the outfit off perfectly, and Dannt let borrow Fiona's diamond encrusted, tear drop earrings.

"You look.....amazing." Danny's eyes pierced through me, causing me to blush. "You're just missing one thing." Danny ran off into his room and came back, grabbing my hand. He guided me over to the full-length mirror and stood behind me.

Watching him, he reached into his pocket and slowly pulled out something. In a swift movement, his hands reached over and I felt the chain necklace being clasped together. "Oh, Daniel."

The necklace was simply beautiful. It was a diamond, infinity, teardrop pendant and against my skin, it shinned, sticking out like sore thumb. "So, what do you think?"

"I think that this is the sweetest gift anyone could have given me. Thank you, very much. I'll cherish it always, and I'm never taking it off." As smile spread his face and he rubbed my shoulders.

"I'm glad you think so." Together, we stood in the mirror admiring the necklace and each other. Danny stated at me, through the mirror as if he was in a trance. His lips became closer, towards my neck, sending a chill of anticipation down my spine. I longed for Daniel's kiss and he knew it.

"Danny! Jess! Are you guys ready?!" Danny sighed, heavily and took a final look at me, he then headed toward the door, to meet Darla and Phillip. When he left, a sigh eluded my lips.

Taking one last look at myself in the mirror, I couldn't believe what had come of me. Was I really dropping everything for all of this? It seemed like a dream.

"Jessa, you coming?" Darla's smile was so genuine as she stared at me. I couldn't help, but take note of how sweet she was, it kind of made me question how a girl like her, got wrapped up in all of this.

Looking back at the necklace that hung around my kneck, I managed to smile warmly and nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

As we stepped out of the Fun House, I couldn't help, but notice three cars lined up against the side of the street. They were all Impalas and at the top of the line was no other, than Daniel's.

"You all have the same car, just in different colors?" Fiona steps up next to me. I notice how she gazes at the cars, in admiration.

"Beautiful, isn't it? Alright. Phillip, you and Daniel can ride together and go pick up Lucas. Darla, Jessa, you two will ride with me." Before she heads toward her car, Fiona winks at the boys. I couldn't help, but notice that only two cars were being taken and one stays, but since I'm new and I want to keep the newfound trust that they've given me, I stay quiet.

"Yay! A girl trip how fun!" I take nots of how enthusiastic Darla is, no one is ever that happy, there has to be something wrong with that girl.

In the car, I sit in the back seat, starring out of the window. As Fiona drives, my mind takes mental notes of every detail we come upon. "So, Jessa, what's going on with you and Danny? Give us details!" I glance up at the passenger seat, where Darla is sitting and then back out the window.
