Besotted novel Chapter 7

I look beautiful wearing all these make up and jwellery right? But you know what? This isn't me.

************************************

I walked straight into my bathroom and headed right under the shower to take a good shower to refresh myself. I had to Shampoo my hair again for the third time this week.

Wrapping a Towel around myself and draping another towel on my hair I walked out of the Bathroom and sat on my bed looking at the notification on my phone.

There was message from an unknown number and I clicked it open to find a text message from none other than Mr. Theller himself. It read "Be ready Before 7 O'clock. I won't be able to make it to pick you up as I have got an important meeting to handle but my Driver will be there at your doorstep before 7. So, See you then".

I sighed and threw my phone on the pillow and fell back on the bed staring at the ceiling blankly. What was I going to do? I promised myself that I will stay away this jerk but life keeps on throwing me this curve ball where I don't know what to do and how to behave. He is making this harder for me as well. I have no idea how I am going to cope with him being near me all the freaking time. This was going to be one awkward party.

"He told me to wear something red" I muttered to myself. Why red of all the damn colors in the world.

"What should I wear?" I began to think of all the red dresses I have.

I got up from the bed and went inside my walk in closet. I went through every dress which has red print or pattern on it but I wasn't satisfied with any of it.

Sighing, I turned around to leave but stopped when a medium sized package caught my attention. It was placed near the wardrobe. Frowning, I picked it up wondering what on earth it was.

"Whose package is this?" I heard myself asking.

I opened the package and was surprised to find a sexy blood red colored dress inside it. I furrowed my eyebrows trying to remember whose package this was. I don't remember buying this so who could this be?

My phone began to ring and I made my way towards it still holding the dress in my hand.

"Hello?" it was an unknown number.

"Sang?" a familiar voice spoke.

"Yeah? Who is it?"

"It's me Jade"

"Oh Jade where did you get my number?"

"Margaret gave me"

"Oh Okay. So you called because?"

"Uh yeah listen did I forget any package in your apartment last Saturday?"

I looked down to the dress that I was holding and then it click. It was her dress.

"Yeah! I just found it now near the wardrobe".

"Yes yes that one. I remember now actually,whilst I was searching for a dress for you, I kept the package there but forgot to take it with me when I left" she told me.

"Oh, don't worry it is actually right here with me. I was wondering whose this was."

"Actually I went for a shopping that day. I saw that dress and I bought it. Now when I was going through the Bill I found that package missing so I recalled taking it to your home last time".

"Jade I need to ask you something" I bit down on my lips, anticipating her answers.

"Yeah? What is it?" She asked

"I need to ask you a favor" I told her

"Tell me Sang"

"Can I take this dress? I mean pay for it but I kinda need this red dress right now. I am going to this party today and their them-" she cut me off "Sang shut up already. You don't need to explain nor do you need to pay me. Keep it. Think of it as a gift from me".

"Really? I mean are you sure?" I asked

"Yeah I'm totally sure" she told me, giggling childishly.

"Thank you. You have no idea how much you have helped me. You are a life savior" I told her gratefully.

"Oh C'mon Sang. What are friends for? I am happy that I could do something when you needed it".

"Thanks once again Jade"

"You're welcome now I need to hang up, Nathan is calling me" she told me and I said "Goodbye" before she hung up.

I looked at the dress in my hand and ran my palm over the soft material feeling happy.

After my hair was dry, I made it into a neat French bun. I applied foundation, and applied eye liner. I chose a red lipstick to complete my look. I must say I was looking alright.

I slipped into the dress which was surprisingly perfect. It hugged my every curves gracefully. It was a long V neck dress which showed a little bit of my cleavage. I wore my Indian studded necklace and earring which was a gift from my friend and wore my red kitten heels to complete my look. I wore my Louis Vuitton watch which I brought from my savings. I was ready before the time and I went to my kitchen to drink Juice as I was feeling a bit thirsty. I was feeling a bit nervous as I waited for him. I was going against everything I told myself not to do. Only god can help me now!

Right on time at Seven, the doorbell rang and without bothering to look through the peep-hole I opened it but I found no one. Furrowing my eyebrows, I went out and looked around. When I found no one I went back in and closed the door.

The doorbell rang again.frowning I opened it again, but this time I found Mr. Theller's Driver smiling at me.

"Hello Good evening Ma'am Mr. Theller has sent me to pick you up for the event" he told me with a smile on his wrinkled face.

"Did you ring the bell just few minutes ago?" I asked.

He looked confused and shook his head negatively saying "No I just came Now".

I nodded and went inside to take my purse. I locked my apartment door and this time I didn't keep the key under the mat. I was somehow feeling perspiring and agitated at the same time. It didn't feel right to leave my key under that mat. So I took it with me and followed the driver into the limo.
