--Kiara--
"A-andrew???! Girlfriend??!" Piwie exclaimed wide eyed. Her mouth trembling in surprise.
I sighed and nodded in frustration, wiping the stupid tear that escaped my eye. Good thing she hasn't noticed it.
"H-how... H-how the freak? I mean... The dude was totally smitten with your charm... Well... Not that it's really confirmed that he's already over you... So using 'was' is definitely a no-no yet... Not that you're affected, right? But heck! How could that possibly happen??" Piwie started to sound like a total mad woman. Well, I myself was so shocked when Tracy, the said girlfriend was introduced to me. I cleared my throat to cut off Piwie's non-stop blabbering when I remembered 'her'.
"Piw... Do you remember the girl who approached us in school during completion week?" Her forehead creased as she tried to recall that day. She even placed her hand under her chin, massaging it. I shook my head and suppressed a giggle. My best friend is really nuts. After a few seconds, her face lightened and I saw a hint of recognition.
"Aha! The crazy girl who asked you about the engagement? Why ask about her suddenly? We are talking about Andrew here!" Her change of mood is sensible.
"Yeah... We are still talking about Andrew here... That girl is his girlfriend." I said a matter-of-factly. I watched as Piwies mouth opened then closed then opened again like a fish breathing in the water. But I can't find anything humorous about it now. Her reaction is totally expected.
"You better tell me everything that happened that day, Kiara. And don't you dare leave a single information out! Now spill!" She exclaimed after recovering from the shocking revelation. I sighed and tried to remember what happened.
FLASHBACK (Charity Ball)
I reached the last step of the staircase cautiously and looked up at Nathan feeling shy all of a sudden. I glanced at myself in the mirror behind him to have a final check. I am wearing a flaming red floor length tulle skirt topped with a black satin corset, emphasizing the right curves on the right spots of my upper torso. It was a two piece clothing which is joined together by a large red ribbon tied on the waistband of my tulle.
The outfit is courtesy of my Mom. I told her about the Charity Ball as soon as I said yes to Nathan and she practically slave-drove one of her stylist friend to be on my aid and help me with everything I need for the event.
Diane, the stylist, came this morning with a few decent gowns and we came up to the one I'm wearing at the moment after almost 5 hours of mix-matching. She also did a very good job in fixing my locks to one side tying it with a rose-like pin and a few loose strands near my face. I batted my lashes when his appreciative gaze met mine. I smiled sheepishly at him.
"You sure are gorgeous, Pumpkin." Nathan's emerald green eyes roam on me from head to toe again, like I am an art to be appreciated. It's kind of overwhelming, I felt my cheek burning but I cleared my throat to swallow the embarrassment.
"Well, I can say the same with you, too." He grinned at me while tugging his bowtie. Well, gorgeous is an understatement of what he looks like right now. I've seen him a lot in tux and he never fail to amaze me on how good it looks like on him. He's more like a Demi-god who descended from Mt. Olympus to grace me with his presence. He's wearing a black three piece Armani suit, which is accentuated with a red bowtie.
