Above is what Dee wore to the event...

"Are you excited?!" Asked Hamida through my laptop screen as we skyped.

It was currently five p.m and I had half an hour to get ready,which I was currently busy doing.

Morgan Price (my new friend) had told me the event was to start at seven and since I had told him about my love for food, he had suggested we go eat first before going to the event, since it was a formal black and white event,and he had kindly informed me that they only served small "bitings" which basically meant snacks that couldn't fill my hunger and since he didn't want to starve my beautiful self, he thought it was a good idea to have my tummy satisfied.

MORGAN PRICE ABOVE...YES ITS CHRIS HEMSWORTH!!

We had been texting non stop since we part Ways, and I got to know more about him. Like how he was the CEO of a multi billion shipping company that had been started by his grandfather, which he inherited from his father when he turned twenty. I also got to know that he was thirty years old and that despite how most billionaires were, he wasn't much into the flashy lifestyle, nor was he a player. He told me that it was probably cause he grew up and was raised by his material grandmother in her farm,back in Australia, despite being born and living in South Africa till he was ten, which was the native home of his dad and also where his parents met.

I thanked God that I had been lucky enough to not go to work that day, since one of Alex's sisters had come into town for a few days and had insisted on the kids hanging out with her the whole day.

I had received the "dress" he sent me at around noon,which turned out to be a white crop top and matching white trouser that assentuated my curves perfectly and I thanked him for choosing the "perfect" attire for me,cause I wasn't a dress person and even teased him that he'd be my stylist from that day henceforth, a role he readily accepted.

Currently, I was busy doing the final touches to my look as I skyped with Hamida and Liz, who had been super excited that I had finally gotten a chance to go out. And especially after they seen who my date was,thanks to google. Despite me telling them that we were strictly friends, they called it bull shit and told me to just go with the flow. To ward them off my back, I agreed to their suggestion even though I knew nothing would ever come out between me and Morgan.

I heard a knock on my door and only then did I notice that my thirty minutes were up.
Doing my final touches and making sure I had everything I needed in my white clutch, I bid my nosy friends goodbye and quickly got down the small flight of stairs to the door.

"Well aren't you here early!" I said opening the door just as he was about to knock again,a wide smile on my face.
He paused, a look of astonishment passing through his face as he gazed at me up and down and I felt pride swell in me at pulling off the look.
"Am glad I've left you speechless." I said smirking.
"Damn! You look amazing. I didn't think you could pull it off but then again, I do have great taste." He said,puffing his chest in pride.
"Thanks." I told him.
"You don't look too bad yourself," I added , shamelessly checking him out.
He was dressed in a black and white striped designer suit that fit his muscled body perfectly,with a white shirt and a black tie and black dress shoes. He had tied his hair up into a sexy man bun that complimented his look,making him look ten times sexier with a suit and for a moment I wondered why I had friend zoned him.

Cause of Alex...my sub conscience reminded me, ever present nag me with its stupid facts,my inner self,sitting with its legs crossed,a smug look on its face.

Shaking my head and putting my thoughts behind me, I closed the door behind me, making sure to lock it before turning back to Morgan.
"Let's go then." I told him and he took my hand, entwined it with his then tugged me to his car.
