Reminiscing

Muhatti Pt. I

Candice's POV~

I was ready about an hour earlier than I was supposed to. I didn't want to be the reason Emerald got to the event late, so I made sure to be ready on time.

Emerald had gotten me a maroon, floor length, designer dress that fit my body perfectly. She said the color complimented my skin tone and my gold-brown hair.

It was sleeveless and its high neck accentuated the dress's appearance, my waist was exposed and the dress had a deep cut that reached my upper thigh. It was a very seductive looking dress if I do say so myself. I was suddenly thankful that Emerald had bought the dress for me because I knew I wouldn't feel underdressed at the event. Of course, I was way too prideful to actually admit it out loud though. 

I complimented my outfit with a pair of stilettos and I kept my makeup and accessories to a minimum. I'd rather look natural than overly fake, considering everyone at the event would flaunt their endless amount of real diamonds, pearls, and other precious stones. So I'd just save myself the embarrassment.

My hair was perfectly curled and the bouncy strands fell over my shoulders.

I wouldn't say I looked bad. I was feeling pretty confident and hopefully, nothing would ruin my optimistic attitude.

"Wow." I breathed as Emerald appeared before my sight.

She looked...wow!

She was stunning, ravishing and any synonym of 'beautiful'. I couldn't believe how gorgeous she looked. I wanted to jump her right then and there. She was so on point and she was honestly the sexiest woman I've ever seen. 

She had on a black, floor-length dress as well. Her back was completely exposed and her dress was hugging her body so tight, that it left little to the imagination. Her figure was perfect and not to mention her beautiful face!

Her hair was pulled into a fancy updo with a few strands falling casually around her face. Her eyes looked especially light and the blue color shone vividly. Her long lashes guarded her eyes in a seductive manner. Her lips were dabbed by the faintest trace of blood red lipstick and although she had applied makeup, I could still see a faint bruise on her cheek.

Courtesy of me.

I kind of felt bad now, I ruined her flawless face. Not that she looked any less amazing, because believe me when I say that wasn't the case.

"Are you done checking me out?" Emerald interrupted my little reverie.

I scoffed but I couldn't hide the blush that rushed to my face at that moment.

I was caught openly checking her out. I could've at least been a bit more subtle about it! I inwardly reprimanded myself and I seriously needed to get a grip. I honestly didn't know how I would survive the rest of this day with such a beautiful woman as my date and not being able to kiss her or touch her the way I wanted because I had no idea what we even were.

As far as I knew, we had broken up the other day of the argument when Emerald was being a narcissistic douchebag.

"What do you think of people that kiss their friends?" Emerald asked in a voice that sent chills up and down my body.

Oh, so she knew we weren't precisely a couple anymore.

"I think they're people that just like to take advantage of certain circumstances."

Emerald nodded absentmindedly while taking a step closer towards me.

I gulped.

Her eccentric scent engulfed me and I could feel myself slowly letting go of all logic and reasoning.
