Dress on the bed, shoes on the floor, a glass of red wine on the room table and Nina Simone playing on the stereo system from the living room.

Amanda smiled at her reflection while she dressed; she rolled her hair up and brushed up the strands of hair that fell on her face. She opened the drawer she kept her makeup in, took out her a red lipstick and applied it on her sweet lips. Amanda made sure it was perfect, that she looked mesmeric. Then, she took the silver earrings on the dresser and clipped it on her ears.

Lying on her bed was a glittering, dark blue dress Elena, her friend in fashion, had sent to her. Amanda picked up the dress and tried it on.

She stood a while in front of the mirror admiring the way the gown highlighted every curve on her body, she turned to peek at her back on the mirror and she loved how the blue net behind, was used. It gave a very vague covering from her shoulder to her waist, exposing it a little. "Thank you Elena." Amanda voiced, smiling. She sat at the edge of her bed and slipped her feet into the pair of silver heels "Perfect."

A few moment later, Amanda heard a knock on her door, she looked down at her watch and whispered "He's on time." She picked up her purse from the dresser and left her room. Stepping into her living room, she hurriedly turned off the stereo system and headed for the door.

Amanda opened the door and, standing in front of her was a handsome Prince charming. She instantly felt like a fairytale Princess. Indeed, her live in New York was a fairytale.

"You look breathtaking." Wright junior complimented coyly after much stare at the alluring beauty in front of him. For a moment, he felt like a teenager picking up his date to PROM.

"Thank you." Amanda replied coyly "You don't look bad yourself." She smiled as she took the hand he offered in hers and stepped out of the house, locking the door behind her.

Wright Junior led her to his car, holding the door open for her to get in, which he did with a grateful smile. He shut the door then went over the other side and go in.

"Are you ok?" He asked her.

"Yes, thanks." She replied, unable to avoid looking at his handsome face.

He nodded a little, started the car and drove off.

Bridget and Elena were already seated at the VIP section in the Club waiting for Amanda. Elena brought her boyfriend Stephan along while Bridget brought her Fiancé, Louis. It was going to be a great night but somebody was yet to arrive.

"Finally." Bridget sighed when she sighted Amanda coming up the stirs with a fine young man behind her

"He-y gir-ls!!" Amanda called out the moment she laid her eyes on her friends. They got up from where they sat and hugged her one at a time when she approached them, screaming excitedly.

"What took you so long." Elena asked loudly, attempting to overshadow the loud music.

"I'm sorry." Amanda apologized "Hi Louis!" She greeted.
