Euphoria, a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness.
Tonight's the night.
I tried to prepare a surprise for her. I was originally asked to tell her that I'll have a photoshoot and won't be able to make it to her birthday celebration. The plan was I would hide from her and would wait for her inside the ballroom of the hotel and she would only see me upon her grand entrance.
But I just can't keep secrets from her. I just can't.
I also knew that she had back-up "escorts" – handsome boys who volunteered specifically to be her escorts. I just couldn't bear thinking that she'll be surrounded by these boys she barely knew. It was also suggested that Marco would "substitute" for me while I waited for her at the ballroom.
I told them these suggestions of theirs are absurd and would only make her more uncomfortable. In the end, they gave in and just let me tell her the truth. I won!
I would be her escort. No more questions asked.
Now here I am, inside her suite, waiting for her to get dressed. I was already in my tux. But I couldn't keep still. I knew they designed this extravagant dress for her tonight and I couldn't wait to see her in it!
"Edward, stop pacing please." My mom said as she massaged her temples. My pacing around the room was giving her a headache.
I stopped walking and looked at her from across the room. Even though she won't say it, she was as excited as I was to see Maymay all pretty and dressed up. She already considers her as one of her own.
"Sorry, mum. What's taking them so long?" I asked as I sat down on the couch.
She smiled and said, "She's probably asking them to have mercy on her and to give her something more comfortable to wear."
This made me laugh. My mum knew Maymay well enough to know what she would do in these kinds of situations. Most times, her instincts have been right.
"She won't be comfortable in anything anyway! Why would she bother pleading?" I asked and laughed.
"Well, iho. Today's her special day. Everyone wants her to feel like the princess she already is. Part of that is wearing ball gowns heavier than she is. She would at least want to get her opinion about these dresses across." My mum said.
She's always been unapologetic. For sure, she'll get to say what's on her mind. I smiled at that thought.
I've always loved that about her.
Love, Edward?
I shook my head. Everything's changing, I'm not sure I can keep up. It's been a whirlwind of emotions lately.
