Inside the luxurious apartment, Mercy’s house, the two girls were busy preparing as if they were going to attend a coronation party. Kelly was pretty overwhelmed by what Mercy was doing to her body, she wasn’t comfortable but she needed to look different on her first date. Anyways, she asked for Mercy’s help so here it is.
It was already noon, the girls received a package, Kelly was the recipient but there was no name on the box to indicate who really sent it, what they found was an address after they must have looked on top of the box. They checked the address on the internet only to find out that it was the address of a luxurious designers boutique in the city.
The two girls knew that it was Mr. Alex who had sent it because Kelly had earlier given him Mercy’s address when he asked her where he was picking her from.
When they opened it, what they saw made their mouth form a sighn of an “O” for some seconds and then with their eyes looking in surprise.
" oh -my - God, this is so amazing, your prince charming is really a romantic dude” Kelly couldn’t say word but only smiled with surprise after she remembered how the emotionless man spoke to her without any affection.
Inside the big box, there is a exquisite evening wear, glittering from the silver and blue sequins that covered it.
Kelly gently raised it up and held it in front of her, it shinning silver sequins reflected in her face making them look like they were sparkling.
The off-shoulders, the v neck and its beauty got her speechless but only had to feel it by running her fingers through it. She then carefully hung it on Mercy’s wardrobe, away from the mess they both made in the room.
When Kelly returned to Mercy, she already saw that mercy was holding a silver and blue matching mask, a Velvex and a high heel.
“Oh my God, that dress is so beautiful and it is very obvious that it is from a designer’s store and this jewelries and shoe… Kelly who is this big fish that you found because it is very much obvious that the man is richer than me”
“Oh” was what she could say. She just couldn’t understand why he had to send her cloths. Maybe he does not want to look embarrassed, oh that man…"
" Kelly, i just know that the party you are going to attend is a high class party, i mean…. The wears are something else, and the masquerade. See Kelly i am beginning to get scared about… are you sure you want to do this?”
Mercy stepped forward to Kelly holding her shoulders firmly as she tries gauging Kelly’s reaction. She looked as if she wanted to discourage her but not after Kelly had long waited for this very day to come. How could she do that to her… her one and only dream man.
No amount if discouragement could make her change her mind not after she succeeded in convincing her prince charming that was was going to show him how attractive she could be. Kelly’s decision was already deeply rooted and Mercy couldn’t see any sign of fear, doubt or hesitation in her friend’s eyes at all. Mercy immediately gave up seeing that her friend had already made up her mind. She had never seen Kelly this decisive, that means, this really meant allot to her. She even took it as now or never situation.
" okay then, let’s begin”Kelly calmed her nerves down as she started creating her magic.
It was already 7:20 pm when the master piece was completed.
" oh my God, Kelly is this you? See how gorgeous you are, you are actually the most beautiful girl i have ever seen."
She said as She cycled her friend around admiring her look.
Mercy’s non stop praises left Kelly amazed , making her invisible sweat drop. Kelly her self was even shocked when she saw her self on the mirror, she understood Mercy’s action. Seeing her friend transform to a beauty goddess was enough to make Mercy surprised. She never thought that a beautiful dress and a face makeup could transform someone like this she also couldn’t believe that the girl looking at her in the mirror was actually her.
“Thank you so much Mercy, i really do not know what i would have done without you. Kelly said and Mercy waved her hand at her.
" no…., this is all you and the dress okay, i did not even put much makeup on you. I only dressed your hair and help you wear a gorgeous wear, that was what brought out your natural beauty okay? am so jealous about this your Mr. Alex, that damn bastard is just so lucky to have you.
Hahahahaha " don’t even go there, i bet you, when you see him in person, you won’t be able to say that”.
" i really do believe that he is a lucky fool, no matter how handsome he may be! Oh Kelly i strongly believe that those people who mocked you will surely fall to you begging for love when they see you right now”
Hahaha Mercy please …. All this praises are making my head swell” she covered her face with her hands, and off course she didn’t want to ruin her makeup, she decide not to let her hands touch her face while covering it.
" you look like a supper star, or a fairy princess or even a young queen”
" Mercy you are beginning to make me shy, please just stop "
With that, it was already time for her to go.
Mercy accompanied her to the entrance, she was getting worried of letting her gorgeous friend going alone to meet someone she barely knew to a place that she really was sure her friend had never been to but besides, her Kelly was a grown up and she had promised to call her as soon as she gets there.
To Mercy’s surprise, a black Lamborghini stopped in front of them and again, she was stunned.
This was her dream car after all, she failed to buy it because other rich people got there before her.
A man immediately stepped out of the car as Kelly quickly walked towards him but Mercy was quick to pulled her back seeing the kind of car in front of them.
“W.. Wait Kelly, don’t tell me this man is the Mr. Alex you have been talking about "
her eyes widened as she asked Kelly the question with her finger pointing at Mr. Blue leather jacket.
Kelly shook her head.
" no he is not the one, he is Mr. Alex’s friend and he is the one he sent to come pick me up”
“I am not comfortable with… he interrupted.
“don’t worry, your friend is safe with me and with Alex, just go home’’
Mercy then looked close to the person talking to her.
" you are prince Samuel right?”
The man was surprised and because he doesn’t want his identity to be known, he decided to pretend not to be the one.
" you are mistaking me to be someone else, Miss Kelly please get into the car let’s go”
Mercy was stunned again, she stood as she watched the car disappear from her sight.
