Chapter 97 Alessia’s POV After agreeing to go on a date with Caden, I had managed to walk up to my room without embarrassing myself by letting out a squeal or a scream. As soon as I’m in the comfort and privacy of my room, I do that and more. Giggling into my pillow, I try to force the huge grin on my face down a notch or two but it stays the same. I reprimand myself, telling myself not to be so happy all because of a date. He still has to work hard to earn my forgiveness and a simple date isn’t going to make all the hurt that he has caused me disappear. But I have to admit that it’s a good start. Standing up from my bed with my smile still intact, I walk towards my wardrobe and pull the door open. Digging inside it, I reach deep for the shopping back that I know is shoved in there. I smile once my fingers brush against the nylon and pull it out of the wardrobe. Walking back to my bed, I reach into the bag and pull out the dress that Caden has secretly gotten for me. Hugging it to my chest, I walk in front.of the full-length mirror and hold the dress against my front. It’s still absolutely beautiful like it was the first time I saw it. It’s a perfect dress for tomorrow’s occasion. Unable to resist the urge, I twirl around with it cuddled to my chest and laugh at my silliness. I can’t believe that I’m this excited over a simple date. I’ve gone on dates with other guys while I was in high school but none of those dates have even had this effect on me. None of them had ever made me feel this giddy and excited. Puffing air between my cheeks, I force my smile down and once it doesn’t look like my face is abou to split into two, I turn away from my reflection and walk back to the wardrobe. Taking out a hanger, I use it to hold the dress up in the wardrobe and close the door, already anticipating tomorrow evening. I’m going to feel like a princess in that dress and I can’t f u c k i n g wait. Walking back to the bed, I brush off the empty nylon onto the floor and climb into my bed and under
the cover. As I close my eyes, I imagine what awaits me tomorrow night. **** The wait is excruciatingly long. Throughout the whole day, all I’ve been able to do is fix my gaze on the wall clock mounted in my room, counting down each minute and second that passes. Wondering when the hour hand is going to get to eight so that my date with Caden can commence Yes, I know that I’m absolutely pitiful and shameless but I’m way past the point of caring about how 1/3 I come off. Once the clock strikes seven. I hop into the shower and spend an unnecessary amount of time in there. Then I hop right out and walk over to my wardrobe, picking out my dream dress. Stripping out of the towel wrapped around my body, I slide the black dress onto my body and go to stand in the mirror. Like before, the dress is a perfect fit, hugging me in all the right places and ending in a slit that starts from the middle of my thighs. The overhead light catches on it as I twirl around in front of the mirror, getting a three-sixty-degree look at myself. I have to say that I look beautiful, the best that I’ve looked in a very long time. I quickly work on my hair, pulling it up into a simple hairdo and holding it up with pins, leaving my neck exposed. I leave it that way, not bothering to accessorise with a necklace. Caden always spent an unhealthy amount of time showering my neck with kisses while we were at his secret home. I know he loves my neck and I’m going to use that knowledge to drive him crazy, Smiling to myself, I place simple stud earrings in my car holes and that’s it. I use a little bit of mascara and a nude lip gloss on my lips. A knock comes on my door as I’m putting the final touches on my appearance. “I’m coming,” I rush out, keeping my makeup kit back in the drawer that I brought it out of Throwing one last look at my reflection in the mirror, I pick up my handbag and walk towards the door. Breathing deeply through my nose to cool down my nerves, I open the door and have to fight to keep my mouth from dropping open.
I drag my gaze up his body to find him having the same issues as me as his eyes trail leisurely up my body, leaving me feeling like I have nothing on. “I’m so sorry but I have to do this,” Caden announces and steps closer to me. My brows furrow together as I try to make sense of his words, What is he apologizing for? Did he already change his mind about taking me out on a date or he is- My head quiets down and everything stands still as Caden draws me into his embrace and places a kiss on my lips. A simple kiss that deepens when I snake my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me. We kiss for what could have been mere seconds or minutes when Caden pulls out of my embrace and presses his forehead to me. “You look absolutely breathtaking in that dress,” he whispers, short breaths coming out of his lips in pants. 2/3 At that moment, I felt absolutely breathtaking like he said. Like a princess in the arms of her prince charming.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
