RACHEL'S POV (Unedited)
It's damn three o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at my apartment.. I don't even know what to do. I don't have any proper dress to wear this evening.
Oh, my God! What should I do now? I can't just spend my savings just to buy a dress. I heave a deep sigh thinking about a possible way not to attend that event ... I jumped at my couch when I heard the door bell sound.
What the heck he's doing at this early? I thought he will pick me up at 7:00 PM.. Shit! I'm started to get a headache as I thought about it! I muttered irritatingly as I stride towards the door.
I twist the door knob and then opened it.. I feel relief when I saw a man who's wearing a jeans and a shirt, particularly not him, standing in front of me, but I am also confused on what this man doing in here..
Uh.. You own a package delivery, Miss.. He said..
What? Wait! I have I package? Perchance you are mistaken, Sir.. Can I see your papers please? I asked while looking at the rectangle box beside him. As I look at it, it looks like a Vera Wang's dress.
Then, he handed me the said paper. As I read from it, I noticed that the address shown is not mine.. And so I told him politely the exact destination of that package. He then thanked me and left..
Just as I got back to my room, the doorbell rung again..
Dammit! What a nerve-wracking day! I muttered furiously as I hastily went to the door..
What's the matter with you! Cant you even understand a simple instruc... I stop as I saw Mrs. Jenkins in my doorway..
What's the problem dear? She asked and smiled quizzically..
I.. I am so sorry, Mrs. Jenkins I thought you were the man.. Uh.. Never mind about that.. I smiled.. By the way, what brought you here? Is there any problem in the office? What's that for? I inquired, looking at the shopping bags in her hands..
Uh... Can we go inside first? She asked.
Oh.. Of course.. I chuckled softly..
I know that you're going to attend a party, tonight.. She said, hesitantly..
How did you know about that? Did someone told you? I asked while we sat on the couch.
Mrs. Gastov invited me to her birthday party. She told me that Nick invites you to be his date and she's excited to see you... She gladly said..
What? Did she tell you that? Oh.. Shit! What the hell I am leading up to! I muttered silently and clasp my face.
Yes... And that's why I'm here.. I want you to look more beautiful and presentable tonight. And guess what? I have already picked a perfect attire for you with matching stilettos.. She excitedly said yes.
Uh.. You know what.. I can't go for that, but since you're already here and I don't have enough time to buy a dress, I will accept it.. But let me pay it.. I smiled as I look at her.
No.. You don't have to.. I will get mad of you if didn't accept that.. Let's say that it's my present to you..She's quite insisted..
I heave a sigh as I look at her while smiling at me.. Okay.. I will accept it.. And I thank you for this.. I smiled and hugged her.
After our long conversation, she said adieu and left as she has an important appointment. I glance at the clock and saw that it's already quarter to six. I instantly took a bath and get dressed. A couple of minutes after, I look myself in a full length mirror, dressed impeccably in a red nightgown with collar and backless from my shoulder down to my waist.. My blond hair tied into a bun. I applied a light make up and put a red lipstick on my lips.. I look at the clock on my bedside table and fumble when I found out that it's already 7:00 PM.. And so I heard my door bell rung..
