I've always waited for you

Chapter 2

"Blue,blue,blue,blue. Forever blue. Why don't you paint yourself blue? Ahh! Why do you even like the colour? Whatever. Wear the gown. I have a feeling you'll need to look as spectacular as you can."

"Ooooh!!Is that a hint? Am I finally going to meet my Mr. Right? Woah! Love you to the moon and back!"I hug her and she makes a face of disgust, leaning as far away from me as possible.

"Ew!Stay away from me"

Sure,sure,she can stay in my home,watch my tv,but gets angry at me? Who said fairies are supposed to be nice?

I couldn't care less about her. Right now,I need to look like the  queen that I am.
I quickly wear the dress and do my hair.

"Gabriella! Do I look good? Do you think they'll be impressed by me? Do you think they'll like me? Do you think he or she will like me???" I panic and ask her for her opinion.

"ou look good in everything! How many times have I told you that?"

"Babe! It's time to go! Have you gotten ready yet?"A whiny voice calls out.

Jay.
Jay's family has always served me by being my assistant.

"Avanna,are you planning to go into modelling?He whistles,eyeing me up and down. He rotates around me and fixes a strand of hair and helps me wear matching accessories.

"Stop overreacting. Let's go. We're already late"

'I'm not overreacting. You really do look good. Here,wear this pair of heels. It shall suit you better.'

I roll my eyes and slip on the pair of shoes he gives me. Checking on the mirror,I find that it really does fit me.

Jay rushes me and we are inside the car in no time. Even the elevator seemed to move faster than ever.

"How's the profit this year?"I ask Jay after the driver closes the partition that separates the driver seat and the passenger seat, hoping to have something to talk about with the shareholders today.

"It has been really good, especially ever since we joined our hands with the other companies."

"Ah, thats good then. Tell me more about the company on the way,so I can atleast seem like a proper boss. Ah,and rather than announcing me as your female partner,introduce me as the company's ceo."

"Why this sudden decision?"Jay asks me, surprised.

I have never been concerned with the matters of the company. But,now that I know that my soulmate would be one of those rich people in the party,I want him to respect me. I want him to know I'm of equal social standing as him.

"I know what you're thinking. He might be rich,but he also might be poor. He might just be a waiter or a cleaner. And he also might hate rich people. Worse yet,he might even have a girl he already likes. What are you gonna do then?"

Jay has always been like this. He adds a touch of reality to my soaring ambition and dreams.

Edison's POV

"Hey Ed! You haven't dated anyone else in 6 months now and still with that Jessica girl. You got the hots for her?"

'Shut up Kris. It's just that my father thinks it'll be better for my as well as the company's image if I appear as a playboy who is good at managing his company even though he spends much time on girls. Personally,I'm interested in none of them.'

"Yo man,you should be grateful your father is so open minded. Anyway, Vincent is calling me. He's upset I've been talking to you for half an hour now. Hang up."

"Fine, thanks for helping me avoid her anyway. Here she comes again. I think I'll be dead. Like,my father already specified that there shouldn't be any romantic relationship between us,but no,she just doesn't get that,does she?Bye bye. Hope I don't get covered with lipstick."

Kris chuckles and hangs up. 

Jessica waves at me and asks if I'm done with the phone call,and I nod yes.
She comes running towards me,and plasters my face with kisses here and there for the camers,and then regains her composure.

"Thanks for not clinging to me as you did earlier." I whisper in her ear as I pretend to kiss her on the cheek. The number of photos intensify and we pretend to see them and then go ahead to wave at them.

Me and Jessica hold hands and take a walk while the paparazzi follows us secretly. We pretend to talk in whispers and occasionally laugh sweetly, staring at each other. Once we enter my father's mansion,I let go of her hand,and I go to my own room to get ready for tonight's ball.

There's nothing more boring than pretending as if I like to play with girls'feelings. I absolutely loathe the times I need to pretend that I care about them,that I'm in love with them. It's just so fake. Why pretend to love someone when you don't,and then just when I manage to become good friends with the person in 'dating',I'll need to break up with them. And we'll need to pretend as if I was the bad guy. This whole drama just so we can stay relevant is tiring.
