Few Days Later...
"Oh, Lady Abbey! You look so cute today!" Vega smiles ear to ear when she sees me.
Vega greets me excitedly as she opens the door.
Stepping through the doors and I enter the mansion foyer. I feel my cheeks burn out of the embarrassment of the compliment. Standing their flustered as I adjust my not-so-casual attire. Wearing high-rise skinny jeans, an off-the shoulder black shirt, and black ballets flats. I even put on a bit of make-up and brushed my hair.
"R-really?" I laugh nervously. "I feel like I over-did it."
"Not at all! You look great!" Vega assures me. "Right, Lord Hue?"
Vega turns around to face the staircase. And as I look up to follow her gaze, Hue appears, gracefully making his way down the stairs towards me.
"You're awfully early." He says.
"A-am I? My clocks must be off." I make up an excuse.
Hue examines me from head to toe, until locking onto my gaze, with a look of disbelief. "You look so..."
W-why is he looking at me like that?! It's so embarrassing!
I know I dressed up a little, but I don't think I look that weird!
Oh god, just say something already, Hue!
I bite my bottom lip, as take a deep breath, as I try to calm my facing heart.
"What happened to the tomboy I know? You look like a lady today."
"And there it is." I snap my fingers and shoot a finger gun his way.
"I guess it's true what they say."
"And what's that?" I ask, crossing my arms.
He chuckles. "Anybody can look good with the right clothes."
I sigh. "Uh huh..." Then dramatically I pucker my bottom lip as I bat my eyelashes. "Would it kill you to give me a compliment, every once in a while?"
"Oh my." Hue looks at first surprised by my response then averts his gaze to the floor. "The lady is displeased. Is today's romantic rendezvous to be called off?"
W-wait, 'romantic rendezvous'?!
"N-no! I'm not calling off anything!" I panic and flail my arms around in the air.
"Pfft... You don't have to get so fazzled." Huedhaut laughs.
"D-damn it, Hue." I puff out my cheeks.
"Hm? Abbey's here! And she looks sooo cute!" Teorus appears from atop of the staircase.
A little embarrassed by the announced compliment, I try to play it cool.
"S-see? Try to be a little more like Teorus, Hue." I nudge his side.
"Why in the world would I want to lower my I.Q on purpose." Hue states.
My hands instinctively cover over my mouth to stifle a laugh.
"You just said something really mean like it was nothing." Teorus sighs.
"It was a joke." Huedhaut reassures. "I have nothing but the deepest respect for you and your extroverted flirtatious, womanizing ways'
"Now that's definitely a lie!" Teorus shouts.
Wow, he really laid it on him... I think to myself as I stand there, watching Hue fire snaky comment after snarky comment.
"You two are going on a date, aren't you? I'm so jealous?" Vega interrupts.
