Chapter 4: Ready
1382 Words
I was on my way to the party when my phone rang, I looked at it but I lost my car's control and bumped into the black car in front of me. It bumped with a 'bookish!' sound! My gosh! I'm so unlucky!
I stopped and got out of my car before going to the driver's window. I even held my dress tightly and walked properly because it was heavy. The window opened and it revealed the angry driver. He looks scary!
"Ma'am! Can't you watch the road? You've caused damage to my boss' new car!" he angrily stated and looked at the back, it seemed like his boss was talking to him.
He slammed his hands on the steering wheel and glared at me. I shook my head, what the heck is with this driver? This car is a Lamborghini and this cost a thousand dollars! I'm sure his boss can afford to buy a new one or just repair it!
"I'm sorry, I'll just pay for it... How much?" I asked the driver. He looked back again to his boss and just shook his head at me. "No need, we need to attend an urgent party," he mumbled then raised his hand and pointed his finger at me. "We won't let you go next time," he menaced.
The window at the back is a little bit open so I peek a little. I motioned to stop when I saw a pair of blue eyes looking directly at me with no emotions. Those eyes... are so beautiful.
Wait, his boss is so familiar! I think I've seen that man somewhere! "Do I know-"
"What are you doing there?! Get back to your car! Still in a gold gown who's so stupid to bump a car!"I arose back to reality when the driver shouted. The driver grimaced and closed the window.
That driver is so f*cking annoying! Is there a bodyguard like that? From what I know, bodyguards do not interfere with other people's lives, they are ordered to protect their masters not to confront innocent people!
He's trying to protect his master, I get it, but the way he treats me like his master is the only one who needs respect in the world is so irritating!
I walked back to my car with a mood blazing with fire. That was an assh*le. I swear if I see that guard again, I'm gonna rip him into pieces. He was stressing me out! Does he think he's the President of the Philippines?!
But speaking of his boss, I haven't still moved on about his tantalizing eyes. They were speaking to me, those blue orbs were staring directly at me until it reached my soul. I will never forget them. Let me think about when I saw him. Ah! I'll be late, I'll think about it later.
I probably smell like smoke right now and that driver is stressing me out, I want to rip his hands and throw him out of the car to beat him up. I placed my hand on the driving wheel and started driving again, I would be late if I stopped for so long.
On my way to the party, my phone suddenly rang. It's mom, oh no! She will scold me again because she thinks that I will be late which is probably true. I answered my mom's call and slowly put it on my ear.
"Callyanna! Where are you?!" I distanced my phone a little from my ear because of my mom's deafening shout. See? She's in a bad mood again.
"Mom, I'm on my way..." I mumbled while driving my car to the party. If it wasn't about the incident a while ago, I wouldn't be a little late!
When I arrived, Annie immediately welcomed me, but she was so surprised because of my state. "You look so messy!" She grimaced and held my shoulder. "What happened?"
I rolled my eyes in irritation and spoke, "I bumped my car into someone's and they scolded me! I know it's their fault!" Yeah! From what I remember, I carefully followed the traffic rules and drove safely! It's that bodyguard's fault!
"Really?" She gave me a mocking smile. "I remembered you bumped your car-"
"Don't even continue what you're saying, that's a long time ago! Besides, I know how to drive now! It's just that stupid bodyguard who messed up!" I defended myself and breathed heavily.
"Okay fine! I believe you! Just chill!" She said and gently pushed me inside. "But before you even attend this party, you need to change because you're so messed up and I know that your parents will scold you again," she muttered and took me somewhere.
"I didn't bring clothes with me," I looked at her. "Unless... you did."
She smiled. "I have a lot of gowns I brought here because I can't choose one, they're all so beautiful, that's why I brought them here," she winked at me before opening the door of the hotel and pushed me in.
"Now, we're going to make a little makeover in here!"
We started with my hair, Annie brought her stylists and make-up artist. While they were doing my make-up, she went to the party to inform my parents what happened and where I was so that they wouldn't need to find me.
I sighed deeply. I wonder if Kerko's in there. I stopped thinking about him when the door opened and revealed Annie. When I looked at her, she instantly knew what she was going to say.
"He's there..." her eyes can't stop moving like she can't look at me. "With another girl," she said and sat in front of me. "It's okay because I'll pull her hair after this."
I looked at the mirror, my chest felt a stung of pain. I feel jealous and insecure, why can't I be the one you need from your side? What can you see in her that don't see in me?
This is saddening me, but I still won't give up. I know that someday, he will realize that I'm the only one who can love him deeply. Someday, he will recognize my love. I know that.
"I still won't give up on loving him." Instead of being down, the thought of him being with someone else motivates me to be better, to do better.
Annie just smiled at me. "Even though I don't want you for him, I still have no choice but to support you and let you be happy," she tapped my hand. "Just remember that if you know you can't fight for him, stop and give up, 'cause he doesn't deserve a woman like you."
We didn't continue the drama because the make-up artist needed to do my face. I don't want to lose face to that woman he took here.
"We applied light makeup to you because you don't need so much makeup, you are so beautiful, my lady!" The gay artist said and clapped his hands.
"And now for the gown," the other gay said and they went inside the walk-in closet. I waited for them because I was curious about what dress they pick for me.
Until the closet opened and a silver gown designed with diamonds, gems and pearls met my eyes. "This will finish our piece!"
"I'm so excited for you!" The other gays cheered me and they left the room for me to wear this gown. I locked the room and changed my clothes into that gown.
After changing, I went in front of the mirror. I gasped when I saw my reflection through it. That woman in front of me is me, right? I am that woman?
I slowly went in front of the door and breathed heavily. I opened the door and met them outside.
I watch their reaction as the two gays clasp their hands and the other has his mouth opened while Annie is in tears. "Why are you crying?" I asked her and chuckled.
The gay gave her a handkerchief and she wiped her tears. "Now, you two need to go because the party will start in two minutes," they informed.
We held each other's hands and sighed. "We can do this," we whispered to each other.
"Let's go!"
