Best Part of Me

"What do you think Jonas?" I asked him while showing him the dress that I just bought.

It was a champagne colored backless dress with a slit on the legs.

"Very provocative." He commented. He was sitting comfortably at the couch of my room while drinking a canned juice.

"How about this?" I asked showing him a black fitted long sleeved, above the knee dress. He tilted his head and scan the dress then he shook his head.

"Boring." He commented. I rolled my eyes and threw the dress away.

"This?" I asked again showing him a pink with combination of violet dress.

"Are you going to a children's party?"He asked, I stared at him blankly and tossed the dress away.

"How bout this?" I asked, my patience was running out. I bought those dress from abroad and he can't even find anything that would suit me.

I showed him a blue sleeveless, above the knee dress na may slit sa bandang legs. He raised his brow and nodded.

"Better."He commented. I smiled and immediately run towards the bath room to change my clothes. I put on a light make up, curled my hair and put some accessories that matched my dress.

I went out of the room, and excitedly ran to Jonas.

"Maganda ba ako?" I asked. He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Ganda nung dress." He complimented the dress. I just rolled my eyes at him and walked outside my room. I heard him followed me.

Ash's mom would be celebrating her birthday tonight so Ash invited me to the party. It was a formal party, I think. There would be a lot of elite families coming so I should look good for Ash.

Ash texted me that he couldn't fetch me tonight, it was okay. Magpapadrive nalang ako kay Jonas, Zeph and Jordan would be coming also because their family was invited by Ash's mom so it would be fun.

"I'm going to call you if I need you to fetch me home." I said to Jonas who was busy driving.

"Don't be too late." He reminded me, I just stared at him because I think my heart just melted by his reminder, he was like a family. A real family indeed. I smiled and nodded at him. He was always annoying but sometimes I just can't imagine myself without him.

I went out of the car when we arrived, I bid goodbye to Jonas and went to the reception of the party. Dito lang sa bahay nila Ash ginanap ang party, and I could hear a loud music from where I was standing. I bet Zeph and Jordan were already inside.

"Hello goodevening lady, what's your name?" The organizer asked me while looking at the list of guests.

"Hi, I'm Zoe Avery Adisson, I was invited by Ash actually." I said, he smiled at me and nodded.

"Can I see your invitation, please?" He asked politely so I gave him the invitation. He guided me towards the entrance.

"Please enjoy the night, gorgeous." He said, I just nodded and walked inside, I tried finding Ash, Zeph or even Jordan but I can't see them because the place was too crowded and the lights were dimmed.

It whole place was very beautiful, black and silver was the main color of the night, the lights were not bright and it was very elegant and sophisticated. I saw his mom before on her worst state, I don't know what to expect when she was on her right mind. I just decided to go to the cocktail station while waiting to spot someone I knew.

The server offered me a cocktail so I accepted it. I was sipping on my cocktail while walking around when I saw Ash. He was busy escorting his mom towards the front-most table. I was surprised to see how gorgeous his mom tonight, and how handsome he is wearing his suit. Her mom greeted a lot of people with a warm smile, and so is he. I was watching him from afar, waiting him to finish greeting their guests so I could approach him but someone just cling on his arms.
