It is now two hours before the dreaded engagement party starts and I finally have the motivation to get out of bed, I make my way into the bathroom and start the shower stripping my clothes before feeling the hot water run down my back. I quickly rinse my body with coconut lotion and wash my hair before quickly shutting the water off making my way back into my room rummaging through my wardrobe finally picking out a black sparkly gown that I remember buying ages ago but never had an event to wear it to, until now.
I smile to myself when I finally put it on and look in the mirror it being a perfect fit, it shows my hidden tattoos perfectly and I couldn't be more happy with it. I jump when mother walks in my room I turn to her and see her already in her dress which actually looked amazing on her, "You look stunning sweetie" She grabs my hand and makes me twirl around. I laugh in response and I hate to admit but I miss moments like these, I miss how it was before.
She finally left to finish off her makeup and I need to do the same, I decide to try something different today bright red lips and exaggerated eye liner. An hour has past and I lastly put on my heels mother yells from down stairs that it is time to leave so that means Roman is here and he's waiting, my stomach rumbles with anxiety as I check one last time in the mirror before making my way down the stairs.
My eyes scan the room seeing no one around, my mind tells me that they are out the front taking photos again I mentally roll my eyes at the thought. I make my way down the hallway and I can already hear Roman's deep seductive voice, I open the door and their eyes were on me I look over to Roman he looks amazing in his dark navy tux it shows off his slender and tall figure very well I notice his gaze doesn't move from me, I look as his eyebrows scrunch together it's like he doesn't know where to look and it makes him look vulnerable.
"We should leave now" Mother says, Roman nods in response his eyes still on me. I avoid his gaze and start making my way to Roman's convertible in the back seat of course, mother and roman both sat in the front and the whole ride was silent. I casually would look in the rearview mirror and see Roman already looking back at me his eyes would squint sometimes hearing him let out a sharp breath.
We finally arrived at the destination, I mumbled 'wow' at the image of this place. It looked very fancy and expensive of course, the big dangling crystal lights and a long carpet for the entrance. We all got out and mother decides to wait for Roman to open her door and I scoff at the sight, I start walking in front leaving them two and make my way inside to where they are making alcoholic drinks, I quickly take a glass of moscato and walk off so they don't question my age. There was a big staircase, with light up crystal diamonds and I'm guessing we are going to have to walk up there and that should be where the room is.
All the people around me I have no idea who they are and I know they think the same, I can tell some of the women are high maintenance and stuck up and I'm not even going to question it.
"You look lovely" I hear someone whisper in my ear and I jump, turning around to see Justin in a tux, his sleeves pulled up to show off his tattoos.
"Justin, what are you doing here?" I say with shock, he wraps his arms around me and I respond with his hug.
We finally pull away, "Your mother invited me, she wanted me to keep you company" He playfully wiggles his eyebrows making me laugh.
Mother and Roman walk in and everyone starts clapping, I feel like this party is so extra like I'm at a wedding but I don't say anything, obviously. "I swear your mother never ages" Justin says.
We all start to make our way up the stairs and Justin grabs my hand to help me walk up in these heels, I smile at him and I turn my head to look behind me seeing Roman's arm wrapped around mother's waist and my smile disappears, Romans eyes look up at the fancy stair case and his eyes land on mine I watch as his arm slowly unwraps from her waist and I quickly look away.
