Love is in the Air

Chapter 28

Paige POV

Sara and I were sleeping when we heard someone calling our name. "Wakey!Wakey! Sleepy heads! Time to get up!" We heard Scarlet yell at us.

"Cousin Scarlet why are we waking up so early?" Sara asked her as she rubbed her eyes.

"Because we have to get ready for the party" she said eagerly.

"Why so early?" I asked her.

"Because I have the whole day planned out!" She said. "Speaking of witch I have to kick Ethan out of the house." She said leaving Sara's room.

"Today is going to be a long day isn't it?" Sara asked me.

"Yes it is" I said.

Scarlet first hired a masseuse who gave all of us a massage. Then we had a facial, manicure and pedicure. Then someone started working in our hair and make up.

It was 5 pm and I was already tired. Scarlet wouldn't let me look in the mirror until my look was complete.

She came inside with a dress in hand. "Scarlet that isn't my dress" I said. I picked out a black dress, this was red and completely different

"I know honey, the thing is the black dress goes better with New Years. This one screams Christmas" she said. The dress was gorgeous, however that dress called for attention. I hated attention. "Try it on" she said handing it to me.

"Scarlet it's too small it won't fit me" I said.

"Paige I'm an expert in this. Trust me, try it on" she said. I sighed I went into the closet and changed into the dress. I walked out. "It's fabulous!" She said. The dress was beautiful, however I felt like I didn't belong in it.

Sara walked into the room "Paige you look like a princess!" She said. She was always wearing her dress.

"No Sara, you look like a princess" I said touching her nose and she giggled.

"See! You look great." Scarlet said.

"Can I see myself in the mirror now?" I asked.

"Put these on first" she said handing me a pair of wedges.

"Scarlet I cant wear these, I'll fall and make a fool of myself" I said looking at the shoes. I never wore high heels let alone wedges although they looked easier to walk with than high heels.

"That's what men are for. They help us walk in these things" Scarlet laughed and she handed me the heels again. I put them on and I felt off balance. "Ok ready" she she holding up a mirror.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't recognize the person in front of me. It was like I was looking at a completely different person. "Wow. Is that really me?" I asked them.

"Yes Paige, do I know how to get ready or what?" Scarlet said.

"Yes you're very very pretty Paige" Sara said.

I smiled at her. "I'm not as pretty as you Sara" I said.

"We're all pretty tonight!" Scarlet said. "Now it's time for a selfie!" She said taking out her camera. "Come on girls let's head downstairs, I'm sure my cousin is dying to see us" she said.

I swallowed hard. What if Ethan doesn't like how I look? Scarlet headed downstairs first and then Sara did. I could hear Ethan completing both of them.

Then I started to head downstairs "where's Paige?" I heard Ethan ask.

"She coming. Look" she said pointing at me as I walked down the stairs.

Ethan saw me and didn't take his eyes from me. I made it to the bottom of the stairs. Ethan grabbed my hand. "Beautiful" he said not taking his eyes off me. I blushed.

"Thanks, you look handsome in your tux" I said. He really did look handsome, he looked like a model ready for a photo shoot.

"Ethan stop gawking or your start drooling soon. Come on we have a party to get to!" Scarlet said.

Ethan wouldn't snap out of it "is there something wrong? Does it not look ok?" I asked him as I looked down the dress.

"No your absolutely gorgeous" he said. I blushed again.

"Thanks" I said.

"Come on love birds its show time" Scarlet said heading out the door with Sara in hand.

"May I" Ethan said extending his arm to me. I grabbed on to him and he helped me into his limo. They really went all out for this.

We drove into the city and finally arrived at the party destination. There was paparazzi everywhere. Oh great.

Chelsea got out of the limo first with Sara in hand. Then Ethan got out and held out his hand for me. I grabbed onto his hand and he helped me out.

I could see flashing everywhere. "Just ignore them" he said.

I saw flashes left and right as we walked to the entrance. I had no idea it was going to be like this. I was holding onto Ethans arm. I didn't want to fall and make a fool of myself. I could here them asking who I was and what happened to Cali. We all just walked thru and finally made it to the entrance.

I examined the room. The place look beautiful. It was like a Christmas wonder land full of people.

A man walked up to us. "Ethan" he yelled with a British accent.

"Well hello there cousin Neil" Ethan said and they both hugged.

"Hello Scarlet" Neil said kissing Scarlet in her cheek.

"Always a pleasure cousin" Scarlet said.

"Why hello there Sara? How are you? Bridget is dying to see you?" He said.

"Where is she?" Sara asked.

"In the kids area"he said pointing to a section that looked like Chuck E Cheese.

"Can I go Ethan?" She asked.

"Sure just be careful" he said and Sara ran to the kid area.

"Hello and who are you?" He said looking at me.

"I'm Paige" I said.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you" Neil said kissing my hand and I blushed.

"Stop it Neil. I'm afraid she's taken" Scarlet said.

He looked at Ethan. "What a shame. If you get bored of my cousin here. Come and find me" Neil said winking at me.

"Very funny Neil" Ethan said.

"Come on cousin there are people dying to see you." Neil said.

He pulled Ethan and Scarlet and I followed. This was going to be a long night.
