Ben decided to have dinner to gather the old group together and make me some kind of "Welcome back dinner". Almost two months late, but he always go on time. 

Everyone is going to be there: Daisy and Olivia, Alexander – Olivia's fiancé and my brother's best friend, my brother, of course, Valerie and Sebastian. Like it or not, they were part of the group, at least Sebastian was. Valerie comes by addition. It's going to be an interesting night. I just hope no one remembers to mention Tommy, otherwise I don't know how I am going to escape. I still cannot believe I was about to tell Sebastian the truth!

Some of the people who work with me are going too, Taylor and Madison, at least. They're a lovely couple! Jeremy was meant to go, but he can't because of his kids. He divorced two years ago and has two children. His ex-wife is an alcoholic, he tried everything he could to help her quit drinking, but he couldn't. One day he got tired and asked for a divorce. 

Of course she declared war because she wanted custody of her children, but of course, after the court knew what she was, Marry and Michael eventually stayed with their father, and the court also interned the mother. To this very day, she remains in the clinic, hospitalized. It seems the case was really serious.

Dinner will be at Ben and Sebastian's, they live together, for almost six years now. Ben wanted to have dinner at home so no one would spend money and we would all be more comfortable than in a restaurant. Also, Ben's food is divine! 

Girls are coming over Ben's earlier to help him preparing the decor and all that is needed. Ben loves to throw parties and dinners; he really likes to decorate his house. My brother, as soon as he learned that Daisy was going to help, he volunteered to go as well. I look forward to see when they will take the next step!

"Bella, are you ready? It's time to go! We're already late!" Julian broke through my room.

"First dear brother" I started. "You know on the door. And second, I'm almost ready." I said as I finished with my hair. Ben said I had to prime it all, because it's not always that we have the privilege of having a welcome dinner two months late.

I dressed, therefore, my navy blue dress that I love. Right above the knees, come out slightly round, neckline a bit raised and with a lace, beautiful! I put on nude heels, let my hair down in some soft curls, and put on a light makeup. Nothing too much: a dark red lipstick, eyeliner and mask.

"You look beautiful!" Julian said as soon as I opened the bathroom's door. "I haven't seen you this beautiful since my prom." He smiled. I went with Julian to his prom because the girl he invited at the time turned him down only a few days before. He was devastated and I ended up going with him. It turned out to be a very special night for both of us.

I smiled at him and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek so I wouldn't let trace elements of my lipstick. We went down to the living room where I found my little one with my parents.

"Mom, you're so pretty!" he ran to me smiling. His eyes shinned a little.

"Thank you Tommy." I smiled at him and lowered myself so that I was his height. "Honey, mom's having dinner with some friends tonight, and you're going to stay here with the grandparents and behave." I told him. He looked at me very focused. It was cute.

"I'll be back late, but I promise I'll kiss you goodnight as soon as I come back home, okay?" I caressed his face and he nodded. "Make sure he won't go to bed too late, okay?" I said to my parents.
