A Sweet Mistake

Six

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
The next day was so fast, I had sown a beautiful gown, which i was going to wear to the fashion fest tonight. I was deeply excited as Lovely helped me with a sewing machine at work. The stares and whispers had reduced a little after Tommy's display of anger yesterday, some couldn't look at me to my face while some, stammered when I spoke to them. They all watched their words with me. This wasn't what I asked for but it was better that those provocative comments I got yesterday. So I worked with the silence and the fear.

I called my best friends, Maggie had a client at work and Fiona had to take care of the kids since Lincoln wasn't around, they both were genuinely sorry and promised to video their tv as they would watch it. Lovely volunteered to help with my make up.

"You look elegant, Betty" she said showing me to the mirror on my vanity dresser. I really did love my new look, Lovely was good with her makeup tools.

"You look like a model, and this dress is sent straight from heaven, Tommy is gonna sweep you off your feet" she said packing up her make up tools in her bag.

"Thank you so much Lovely, I appreciate" I said pecking her.

"Make sure you smile well for the camera, I'd be watching you from my TV and I'd be screaming that's my friend" Lovely squealed

I laughed hard imagining tiny and reserved Lovely screaming. Well I'd make it worth her while. Just then, my door bell rang.

"That's my cue" I said as I walked to the living room and opened the door, Tommy turned around, awestruck, he stared at me gracefully i in return, stared back as well, he was gorgeous as fuck what!!! He wore a white dress shirt covered with a Tommy Bryant, suede dark blue blazer matching his sky blue tie. He wore black pants underneath, he complemented the outfit with black suede shoes.  you could tell they reek of money, there was a light blue tie at the pocket of his blazer. His hair was perfectly combed and styled. His perfume was radiating through my nostrils. We continued to stare at each other for what seemed like a moment until we heard clearing of throat Lovely, right!! I forgot she was there....

"Good evening Mr Bryant," Lovely said standing behind me as I looked away. Trying to hide my blush.

"Evening Miss Jackson" he replied his gaze not once wavered from me.

"I gotta go, Betty, see you tomorrow, have fun" Lovely said as she walked out my apartment, leaving I and Greek god here.

"You look ravishingly gorgeous" He complimented and kissed me on my cheeks, I closed my eyes inhaling his after shave cream. Damn!! He is so sexy.

I smiled. "Thank you, you look good too" I spoke shyly. He took my hand in his and we waltzed out of my apartment into his limousine. I greeted his famous driver Maxwells, Tommy held the car door for me to enter and I did as he followed suit.

We got there in time, I was feeling shy, I wasn't sure of my dress, there would be big ass designers there and I had the guts to bring my dress to this event it was an abomination and a total disgrace. But I can't back down now, Tommy would kill me and I'd kill myself for wasting such an opportunity. I wasn't that bad actually, I wore a red net-like,off shoulder midi gown with an elbow length sleeve. The dress clung to my body protruding the right curves God blessed me with. I guess. I pumped it up with silver strap Heels. I felt a little underdressed like a basic designer, I saw what other guests wore, some were elegant, some were too much, some were graceful, as if knowing my doubts, Tommy leaned in and whispered "you're gorgeous"  I smiled at him.
