CHAPTER-15

Pauline June's POV

"Coming dad!", I shouted so that my dad can hear me to the living room in the downstairs. I took a look at myself in the mirror. I wore a red dress with no sleeves. I put the tiara that Nick gave me and quickly came downstairs.

"Pauline, Princess, you look so beautiful!", my dad said hugging me and pulled away, taking a look at me.

"Why wouldn't I? It's your selection after all", I said smiling. My dad was so excited about me going to prom. Yesterday I told him that I am going for shopping to buy a dress for prom. Since he is at home, he said he will also come with me to help me pick a dress. I love spending time my dad. So, as the offer came, I jumped in.

I was so tired at the end of the day. I just wanted to buy something and go home and get done with this. But no. Dad took me to different shops. I tried a lot of clothes. He bought me clothes and we shopped a lot. I know dad hates shopping. Actually, I hate it too, but it's very rare that we have time to spend. He is always busy working.

The prom theme is Prince and Princess. Dad made me try different dresses, but he didn't even like one. At last, he liked, no, loved a red dress that he saw in the mall and got it. We talked a lot. We chatted and spent the whole day together. My favourite part, every moment. I was so happy that I had spent it with him. At the end of the day, we went to a park and enjoyed the evening.

"That it is", he said and kissed my forehead. The doorbell rand and we both knew it is Nick. Dad smiled at me before going and opening the door.

"Hello Mr. June", I hear Nick say.

"Hi, Nicolas. Call me Brad. No need of formalities", dad said. I decided to shoe myself and went to the door. I tapped on my dad's shoulder. He turned back to me. I looked up and found Nick looking handsome as ever in his black suit and pants with a white shirt and a red bow that matched my dress. He is holding a bouquet of red roses in his hands. I smiled at him.

"Hey!", he said but it came only in a whisper. He is staring at me like I am some alien.

"Hi, Nick!", I said while going out to him, passing dad. He is still staring. I waited for him to say something. At least give the bouquet to me for which he brought them. I heard dad clear his throat. Nick seemed to come out of his traumatized state and looked at me. He smiled at me and I saw a little faint blush on his cheeks. Nick is blushing! He grinned and came forward to me.

"You look so beautiful Babygirl", he said pulling me to him. He put his hand around my waist. I blushed since dad is here.

"Thank you". He kissed my cheek and I blushed more. I saw from the end of my eyes that dad is looking at us. I lightly push him, but he didn't let go.

"Here. These beautiful flowers are for you. But sorry they are not as beautiful as you", he complimented.

"Nick", I tried to warn him that dad is here.

He leaned down to kiss me but was stopped by another cough from dad. I blushed tomato red. I looked down at the roses that are in hand. Nick pulled away a little as if realizing just now that dad is watching us.

"So, can I trust you to bring my Princess back home safely?", dad asked in a serious tone.

"Sure, Brad. I will take good care of her", Nick said confidently.

"Thank you. Have a good evening you both", dad said and I smiled at him.

"Bye Brad", Nick said pulling me with him.
