I am Widow

Chapter 40

Saturday: Jessica's house

"Okay, how about you try this one?" Jessica pulls out a long sleeve white dress out. I try it on and it fits me off the shoulders. I like how it fits me and is way less slutty than the other dresses.

Jessica goes with a heart shape bust black dress. It reaches her knees and has a black belt on her waist.

"It fits perfectly! I love it! You look hot."

"Okay, whatever, now are you going to do my hair or what?" I ask.

She smiles and sits me in front of her big mirror. She pulls my hair, straightens it and puts lots of hairspray. I have a high pony tail with a piece of hair hanging from each side of my face. My bangs make me look fierce.

Jessica then puts some smoky makeup on and gives me some black heels. She already did her hair in curls so we are ready. I take a look in the mirror, not bad for Widow.

"Okay! Let's party!!" Jessica screams. I laugh, "you are crazy!"

We go downstairs where Joe is waiting.

"Wow, I have two pretty dates huh?"

"Ha! You are funny." I say.

We grab to Joe's arms and head to the party.

PAUL POV:

I am siting down, talking to Mrs. and Mr. Lock. I am surrounded by James's family, and I feel awkward.

"So, my son tells me you are a great captain of the basketball team. Do you think the team will win?" Mr. Locks asks.

James looks at me and waits for my answer. I drink some punch, "I believe so, but I am not captain anymore. Jackson Travis is the captain from now on. And yes, if we stay as a team we will win." I answer.

Mr. Locks laughs, he has a very strong French laugh.

"Okay dad, no more questions," James says. Mr. Lock just nods and drinks some whine. I look at my phone and it's 9:34. where is Widow?

I excuse myself from the table and go with Mike. He is getting some punch.

"Hey has Jessica texted you?" I ask him. "Dude, don't worry. They are coming, Widow's dad got lost but they are coming."

I say okay and we go to our table. I take a good look around and damn! How rich are James's parents? This house looks like it belongs to Brad Pitt or George Clooney.

We are in the ball room, about 30 people are here. There are two chandeliers hanging from the roof like diamonds. The walls are painted in beautiful detailed flower patters painted in peach color. The curtains are white.

Then as I turn around, I see her. She looks beautiful!

Widow sees me and runs to me. Jessica follows behind and tackles Mike.

"Hey," I say. She smiles, "Hi."

I kiss her cheek and she smells like roses. Joe comes behind her and say hello.

"Hi, I am Paul Anthony. As you can see I am Widow's boyfriend." I say. I shake his hand and he responses well. "Nice to met you. I am Joe, Widow's guardian."

"So, does this mean Paul can be my boyfriend?" Widow asks.

Joe looks at me very well. "Sure, as long as he doesn't act like Jackson. And if you do kid, I swear, I am not going to take it easy. I am going to beat your white ass down. Got it?"

"Yes sir, I got it." I say. I don't fear Joe, and besides he does like me. I have nothing to worry about.

Widow kisses his cheek, "You serious?"
