"You ready?" Emma looks at me as she wiggles her eyebrows.

I nod my head in excitement and we get out of the limo. I adjust my short, backless, black-sequined dress and mentally pray that I don't trip over these black closed toe slingbacks.

We are immediately greeted by flashes and screams. There's a royal blue carpet laid down which leads to the grand entrance of the boutique. There were many security guards dressed in black suits with ear pieces. Two of them follow us as we move along on the carpet towards the paparazzis.

The paparazzis are shouting and clicking away behind the metal barricades.

"Emma! Here!"

"Aditi! Look here!"

"You're looking gorgeous!"

"They know my name?" I ask Emma, surprised as the paparazzis scream my name over and over again.

"You underestimate yourself." Emma chuckles as she looks at me.

She walks in front of me and stands in front of them on the carpet, posing. Whereas, I stand aside watching Emma in awe as the paparazzi start clicking furiously.

"Why aren't you standing with her?" Someone speaks into my ear and I jump back. I turn around and am looking at a very amused Zayn.

"Zayn!" I give him a tight hug, who returns one equally.

"It's so nice to see you after so long!" I pull away and look at him. He looks hot as hell. He's wearing an all black suit and tie. The top buttons of his white shirt are undone and I can see a few tattoos peeping out. His coat and shirt sleeves are rolled up to the elbows.

"It has been long! How have your been?" He asks with a smile.

"I've been good. Great actually! Had my first photo shoot today with Burberry!" I say in excitement.

"Congratulations Aditi! I'm so proud of you!" He gives me another hug.

"Hey Zayn!" Emma says and we pull away.

"Emma!" They give each other a side hug.

"Sir, Ma'am, we have to keep moving." One of the security guard says from behind us.

"Yes, okay." I reply and start moving forward, but Zayn holds my hand stopping me.

"Let's first take a picture." He gently pulls me making me stand next to him, whereas Emma stands on his other side. He puts his hand around my waist pulling my even close. I rest my hand on his arm and we smile looking at the cameras.

After many snaps, we walk forward towards the entrance. At the entrance, we were greeted by this woman who is dressed in an all black suit, who guides us to the ballroom.

The ballroom looks grand as hell! It is themed in blue and white colour only. Blue and white balloons, table cloths, lights, drapes, curtains. Even the four chandeliers hanging down from the high ceiling have blue and white lights. It isn't dull nor is it very bright. Every thing looks royal and I feel like Cinderella at Prince Charming's ball. There are a few circular tables around decorated in blue and white table cloth with candles right in the middle. There's some space, right in the middle of the hall, probably a dance floor.

"It looks amazing doesn't it!" Emma yells in excitement.

"It does!" I look around in amazement. It all looks so beautiful, I just wanna take mental pictures with my eyes.

"Hey! Connie!" Emma waves at a woman, "I'll see you guys around. Enjoy the party. Aditi call me if you need anything." Emma says with a smile and walks off to whoever Connie was.
