His Choice Forever novel Chapter 12

After the threat from Ashley, I became overprotective of Beth. Now she was asthmatic, I had made her keep her inhaler with her at all times. I couldn't tell Scott anything. Scott told me that we were going to be having a dinner party for a deal with a company and so he wants me to be his date and of course I accepted. The party was tomorrow evening because today was Saturday. I told Scott I won't keep Beth with Ashley again but he pleaded and I fell into his trap. Its as if he has a charm on me. I called up Taylor because I needed a gown.

"Tay, could you come to my apartment? I have to get a dress for the party." I informed her.

"Sure, but you have to wear your wig and other disguise stuffs" she said.

"Yeah, I know" I cut off the call and waited for her. Ten minutes later, she came and we left to the mall with Beth. I tried on many gown but it didn't seem right. The salesgirl gave me another gown and I tried it on. I loved it. It was perfect. It was a mermaid black dress that swept the floor with a sweetheart neckline and laced at the chest area. It was really beautiful. It hugged my body perfectly and comfortably.

"And that is our dress" Taylor said and squealed. We paid for the dress and left. Taylor went home and I also. It was already getting late so I made dinner for I and Beth. We ate and slept off.

It was time for the party and I was getting ready. I curled my hair and put on some foundation and a smoky eye shadow with some eyeliner, some mascara and a dashing dark purple lipstick. I put on my gown and stared at the mirror. I looked like a different person. I smirked at the thought of blowing Scott's mind away. A horn honked and I checked through the window to confirm if it was Scott and it was.

"Beth, its time to go." I called her out and she came out.

"Did you take your inhaler with you?" I asked her. She nodded at head and she seemed a little bit down.

"Are you dropping me off at aunt Ashley's again?" She asked.

"Yes baby, but don't worry. I'll be back very soon okay?" I told her and she nodded again.

"Are you okay baby? Did aunty Ashley do anything to you the other day?" I asked her.

"No. No, she didn't. Let's leave" she said hurriedly. We went out the door and I met Scott. Now, he looked handsome than my favorite celebrity crush but I won't tell him that. I don't need his ego as big as Europe. He looked up noticing us and then his eyes landed on me. I expected him to be awestruck but he was just standing there smiling at me. I then also smiled back.

"Hey" he greeted.

"Hey" I greeted back.

"You look beautiful tonight." He whispered in my ear making me turn red.

"You cleaned up nice too." I complemented him.

"Baby, you don't have to hide it. I can see it in your eyes. Your looking at me like if you could just just take me right now, you would. I know am looking sexily hot." He complimented himself.

"Sexily? Is that even a word?" I asked chuckling and him not answering made me right. We entered the limousine. Yes, I mean a freaking limousine. I also am surprised. We drove off to Ashley's and then knocked on her door. It opened and I wanted to see and also praying that it was a dream that she wasn't dressing up properly but was still dressing up like a slut but what do you know, the universe is always against me, she was still in her jean, cute shirt and ponytail. She gave us a big smile. A text came into my phone and when I opened it, my world crumbled down.

"Hey, you guys. Come in. Come in" she said. we came in and I realized Taylor and Blake weren't here yet which meant we had to wait for them.

"Scott, your looking good" she said with a smile but I could see the flirty look in her eyes and Scott just gave her a small smile. She turned to me and wanted to scowl. I just wanted to lash out on her right now because I was really angry. She thought I didn't know what she did to Beth and mike. she's worse than I thought and I was also angry at Scott. How could he trust her so blindly?. I think its time I told the truth.

"So Emily, you work in Scott's company?" She asked.

"Yes, so?" I said rudely making Scott to turn to look at me giving me that 'be nice' look but instead of behaving, I glared at him.

"Oh nothing. I was just asking. You know, its nice your working for him so you can also tale care of Beth and give her the best childhood ever. Beth's a good girl. She be-" now, she'd done it. I slapped her across the face and she turned to look at me like I had just committed the biggest crime ever.
