Fitted For Each Other

_Chapter Eight_

"Just Hold my hand tight and everything will be alright."

"Remember, smile and wave. Act cool and natural. You can do this Vernice." Caroline says as Harriet fixes my red halter neck dress that is open in the back, revealing some skin I'm not really wanting to reveal.  My hair is put into an updo. I'm wearing a black loboutin that finishes the feme fatal look.

"You look like Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire!!" Harriet exclaims giddily as she takes one last look at me. My make up artist make me look damn hot. With the Smokey eyes and the red lips. God, I look tempting.

"You look edible, honestly." Caroline smirks.

"Okey, enough with the compliments! You're just making me conscious! And of course I look edible! I mean look at me! I look like that damn Apple Eve and Snow White cant help but take a bite off!" I said cockily. The two giggles and shook their head simultaneously.

Today is the Gala, the Gala that had me so anxious. This is where I'll meet Dillon's friends, family, associates and some very important and rich people of the country and the whole world who is acquainted with the Mathews. This Gala is a charity event that is held yearly. They raise money for the Mathews feed the world program together with the UNICEF.

It has been a day now after the cuddling and the singing with Dillon. Now I'm staying at his place but in a different room. He wanted me to stay with him in his room but I turned him flat.

"I need to have my own space Dillon! I mean we are not even married yet but I'm staying at your house. It's foreign to me and I just want to have a little haven where I can go if I feel like not talking to you. Please?" He ran his fingers through his blonde hair and groaned in defeat.

"Fine! You can have the room across mine! But whenever I feel like sharing a bed with you I'm coming to your room or I'll  drag you to my room. Got it?"

I rolled my eyes and huffed. "Fine!"

He smirked triumphantly. I want to wipe that smirk off his handsome face! The monster!!

Suddenly a hand takes a hold of my shoulder, snapping me out of my reverie. 

"Eeehh!" I yelped and jumped in surprise.

"Relax Vernice it's just me." Oh.. I faced Dillon. And my heart went up to my throat. He looks, WOW!!

He is in a black tuxedo with a red bow tie to compliment with my outfit. His hair gelled and combed back making his features more prominent. God Im drooling.

"Baby, stop looking at me like that it's rather disturbing.." Dillon teases. I stood up straight and composed myself.

"It's not my fault you look yummy in that outfit!" I defended. Dillon walks up to me and wrapps his hands on my waist, causing heat to my body. His touch is like a lighted fused.. causing sparks to my body before I totally explode with lust. His eyes darkens as his hands traveled up to my open back. My soft pale skin accessible to his touch. Every where his hands goes, it leaves trails of fire.

Dillon leans down, his lips just a breath away from my ear. I shivered, causing him to chuckle huskily. Shit!!
"I will be having a hard time prying men away from you and keeping my hands to myself tonight. I love this dress, it gives me full access to your back." He whispered. His warm breath tickles me and I bit my bottom lip to stop myself from letting out a moan.

"You're never leaving my side. Okey?" He breathes..

I nodded and closed my eyes tightly. I can feel him smiling as his lips caresses my neck.
