Now and Forever

Chapter 15

One and a half hours later, Audrey was done with my makeup and hair. "And... done!" She exclaimed

while turning me around to face the mirror.

"Final- Wow!" I cut my sentence short when I looked at myself in the mirror. "I know right?! Did I do

good or good?!" Audrey exclaimed. "What kind of magic do you have in your hands?!" I asked while I

took both her arms in my hands and all she did was chuckle lightly.

She had given me an all natural look but used plum lipstick. For my hair, she had straightened it and

pulled it back, leaving some free to frame my face. "Alright alright, stop admiring my work and get to

dressing." She said as she started undressing.

She was wearing a dark blue mermaid tail dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. It had a

deep v-neck but was not showing off her chest too much and had little gemstones running all over the

chest area. She matched her dress with a silver clutch and sparkling silver heels.

I took off my clothes and put on the dress we had gotten earlier on today. I put on my shoes and

Audrey lent me a black clutch. For jewelry I put on silver hoop earrings, a diamond necklace and a

silver bracelet.

By the time we were done dressing, it was ten past seven and the event started at eight. As we walked

out of Audrey's room, Alexis and Bethany walked out of the room opposite of Audrey's room.

Bethany was wearing a red strapless dress that had a deep v neck, showing off more than it had to.

The dress was so tight it fitted her like a second skin, with a slit on both legs reaching way above mid

thigh. Her makeup consisted of a deep bold red covering her lips, a Smokey eye that complemented

her blue eyes and thick layer of eyeliner. Her hair was curled at the bottom and cascaded down her

back in volumes. She accessorized with a black clutch, gold earrings and a gold necklace.

Alexis was wearing a rose gold spaghetti strapped dress that was tight around her waist and then

flowed free to the floor in layers, it was more of a princess dress but less puffy. For makeup, she went

with a nude lipstick, glitter eyeshadow and pink blush. She held her straightened black hair in a tight

ponytail and left some free to frame her face. She had accessorized with diamond studs, a silver

bracelet and a silver clutch.

"You know we're going to a gala Bethany, not a club." Audrey said and I snickered. Bethany glared at

us and walked away. Alexis glared at me then followed after Bethany.

Audrey and I talked while we walked towards the stairs. We got to the landing of the stairs where

Alexander and three men who I think were Bethany, Alexis and Audrey's plus ones, were waiting at the

bottom and I stopped dead in my tracks.

Alexander was wearing a back tux with a black bow tie and whit dress shirt. He had combed his hair

back but some stubborn ones were falling on his forehead. His dress shoes were so polished to the

point you could see your reflection in them. All in all, he looked HOT.

Alexander was typing furiously on his phone while sitting on the arm of the couch and didn't notice us

coming down the stairs.

"Ahem." I cleared my throat when I got to him. "Just a second." He said still typing on his phone. I rolled

my eyes while I crossed my arms and put all of my weight on my right leg. "No, now get up. The limo's

leaving." At this he looked up and I swear I saw his eyes dilate a little.

His eyes widened and his mouth did an 'o' shape. He ran his eyes over my body and his face flushed.

He kept on doing this over and over for the next one minute.

"Staring's rude, Mr Knight." I said as a smirk made a way onto my lips. "Umm, y-yeah, let's go." My

smirk widened when he stuttered and he scratched the back of his neck. I then walked away towards

the door, making sure to sway my hips a little more than I usually do.

The driver opened the door to the limo and I climbed in next to Audrey then Alexander climbed in after

me. Next to Audrey on the other door, was seated her plus one, opposite us on the other side of the

limo was Alexis, Bethany and their plus ones sitting next to them.

Alexis's plus one was sitting opposite of Audrey's plus one, then Alexis opposite of Audrey, Bethany

was sitting opposite of me and her plus one opposite of Alexander.

She kept on throwing Alexander flirty looks as that didn't go unnoticed by me and Audrey. "Doesn't she

have her own date? She keeps on looking at Alexander like he's a piece of meat!" Audrey whispered to

me. I don't know why, but what she said made me go uneasy. She must have noticed my change of

mood because she took a hold of my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.

"Don't worry, if she dares to make a move on Alexander, she will know what's coming for her." Audrey

whispered again with a smirk on her face. I giggled at what she said and thanked her mentally for trying

to make my mood better. I felt a hand snake around my waist and looked up at Alexander questionably.

He leaned down and I felt his hot breath on my ear, making a shiver run down my spine. "I want

Bethany to stop looking at me like that, so put your head on my shoulder." He whispered in my ear but

not loud enough for anyone else to hear.

Doesn't he know she's going to keep on sending me death glares until we reach the event?! This man's

unbelievable!

I felt heat creep up my neck and cheeks as I hesitantly put my head on his shoulder. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Audrey must have thought something else when Alexander whispered in my ear and my face flushed

because she nudged me in my side and wiggled her eyebrows which caused me to blush even more.

I looked over at Bethany and saw her glaring at me, hatred filling her eyes. I looked away and started

playing with my fingers, boredom taking over my body.
