It's always a long ride from Chrollo's place to mine leaving him a little bit pissed about it. I can't stop myself from laughing either at his face because he kept on pouting at the same time. Who would've thought that this dangerous man can be cute at the same time?!

"I shouldn't have let this thing happen," Chrollo said, putting a hand on his forehead. He's seriously making this a big deal, isn't he?

"Hey, stop annoying, will you?" I said as I got out from my car grabbing the red dress with me, leaving the man I'm within total awe just by looking at my place. "We're here anyway."

"This place is..."

"...totally awesome." We both said. I just smiled at it, telling him to follow me. Every butler I have is waiting outside the front porch, bowing their heads.

"Welcome back, Madame."

Chrollo, being the unpredictable gentleman, bowed his head too. I narrowed my eyes, not believing in the sight. If the rest of the Phantom Troupe's here, they're gonna all laugh at our leader, probably punching each others' shoulders too.

"You're really unbelievable, Chrollo."

"What's wrong with showing some respect? This isn't my house, ya know?" He reasoned like a baby, taking a look at everything. He said that as if he can't kill a man just with a dead stare.

We made our way to the living room, the part of the house shouting with pure extravagance and elegance. The whole mansion can be described as stately manorial but with a hint of a bloated aristocrat. My mom did the design, leaving dad with the workers. My brother, on the other hand, took position on designing off of our rooms that's why mine's a little bit...boyish or plain, but still empyreal.

"Wait here, I'll change okay?"

"Make it fast, we'll be leaving at 11."

I rolled my eyes at Chrollo, waving my hands. I ran to my room before throwing myself into the gown which is perfectly fitted to me. The cloth hugs my curves magnificently yet my cleavage's too exposed, leaving a blush on my face. Seriously?! This is too...showy! Especially the back, it's making me feel cold!

I'll curse Chrollo until the end of the world for making me wear something like this!

Onto my next step, I did my make-up and hair. I chose to put it into a messy bun rather than letting my hair fall, it'll cover the beauty of the dress. My make-up's a little darker but I made sure that it will fit better for my attire. I picked my favorite red Christian Louboutin stilettos, paired with my Oscar de la Renta necklace and earrings.

To finish my outfit, I put on my Clive Christian No. 1 perfume, gifted by my friend way back last birthday.

I took a last glimpse at the mirror before turning around. Perfect.

Grabbing my Gucci shoulder bag, I slowly walked down the hall, seeing Chrollo patiently waiting for me on the sofa. he's actually playing with my cat, Pi. Yeah, 3.14.

"U-Uh, Chrollo..."

A blush crept its' way to my face again while walking down the grand staircase, meeting Chrollo at the end. He put my cat down, leaving his mouth wide-open while his eyes stared at my whole body. I don't know what to act either, this is my first time being shy in front of a man, okay?!

"Perfect," was all he managed to say, still starstruck.

He held out his hand so I take it without second-thinking. My hands are actually shaking that's why he squeezed it for me.

"Are you nervous?"

"I...really don't know."

He gave out a cheeky smile before his hand slipped on my waist giving me a long, passionate kiss. I will never get tired of being excited every time he'll reward me with something like this.

"You're magnificent, okay? Don't worry."

I smiled before giving into another smooch, but this time, making it deeper. My heart nearly exploded from pure happiness and excitement, the thought of having Chrollo on my side. This moment will probably belong to one of my oh-so-called Golden Memories, the one that'll never leave my mind. ever.

If there's something I can trade for Chrollo, I'll gladly trade everything I had, probably even my life. No joke. Knowing that we're living in a dangerous world, our lives aren't secure even though we're tougher than a lion.

We parted lips, Chrollo now blushing too. He scratched the back of his again while mouthing, "Sorry", thinking he ruined my lipstick but it's fine with me either way.

"I'm so excited for tonight, Y/N."

"Same here. I won't mess up your work, promise."

"You better should or else I'll punish you." He said before throwing a mischievous smirk earning a punch from me to his shoulder.

"Pervert!"

He stuck his tongue out like a baby so I rolled my eyes in return. He's so childish but still, that's one of his charms, I bet.

"Shall we, Mrs. Del Valle?" Changing the topic, Chrollo handed out his hand again for me, the other butlers open the front door for us. I smiled while winking at him.

"We shall, Mr. Achi."
