Chapter 55
“Must you always spoil the mood girl, you see we are having a moment here” Mirabel said and began cracking jokes.
“So Steph if you don’t want to be late for your date with man, I think you should begin freshening as you can see time is going, it is almost evening” she said pointing to the window blinds to show that the sun was about setting.
“Ooh shit, I have to call Audrey to thank him for what he got me”Stephanie said while rummaging through her things to see if she could find her phone.
” You will thank him when he comes, he is the one picking you up right” Mirabel said
“Alright, alright” Stephanie said.
She knew she could never win against her friends; they always had the best come back for her anytime she gave an excuse on why she could not do a particular thing so to obey them she hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower so she could get dressed before Audrey came to pick her up.
By the time she was done with freshening up and getting dressed for the dates she was looking like a beauty pageant, the best team made her look super beautiful, her roommate worked on the styling of hair and makeup while Mirabel handled the clothes.
The way the gown clung to her body helped bring out the shape she did not know she had, and the make up sat perfectly on her face with the beautiful jewelry she was adorned with. It was not long after she had gotten dressed that Audrey arrived at her hostel with the most beautiful limousine car she had ever seen .
Stephanie excused herself for a tiny bit to go play with the little kid that was in the opposite playhouse from them, she needed to know the kid’s name because he was so cute by the time she got back she saw that Audrey was nowhere to be found so she sat there to wait for him when she heard the tune of her favorite song play in the background, she checked around and saw Audrey standing waiting for her to come join him, he even gestured to her to join him where he was. So she went to meet him.
“Can I have this dance?” he asked, stretching out his hands for a dance.
” Oooh my God, yes you can” she said so stretching out her hands to touch him, she held his hand s he placed his on her waist and hers on his shoulder they looked at each other’s eyes not minding the glaring eyes of the public, they were waltzing to the tune of “Can I have this dance by Elvis presely. As they danced her body melted into his as wrapped his big strong hands around her small body. She loved when he did that, she always felt her safest with him whenever he held her so tightly as she rested her head on his shoulders.
“You know I never really complimented you this night, you look amazing , whoever did your hair and make up sure knows her onions” Audrey said.
” It’s my roommate and she is a very good hair stylist, I never knew she was that good until this night” Stephanie replied.
” You are beautiful, she just helped bring out the innermost beauty that was hidden inside you” Audrey said and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
” Thank you I will tell her you endorse her as my personal stylist, the salary will be coming from you by the way” she said to him and they both laughed
He always enjoyed it when she laughed heartily, it made her always look so beautiful, she gave the best laughters and he knew that he had to keep that laughter up for a long time, he could not bear to hurt her, he had to make sure he was the reason for her smile each morning, she had gone through enough stress in her lifetime for him to add to her problems.
The music stopped suddenly and they stopped dancing. She was wondering what went wrong. She was already enjoying the song, it was therapeutic, it helped her relax so much. She had not had this much fun in one night for as long as she could remember.
” Why did they stop the music?” she whined.
” Error because Steph I want to tell you something” Audrey said looking at her nervously, she noticed how he was already sweating and shivering even in that cold, she became instantly worried
” Audrey, you are sweating in this cold, are you fine, are you okay, should we go back home, maybe you need to rest” she said asking multiple questions at the same time.
“Stephhhhhh, look at me relax, be calm I am fine I just want to talk to you that’s all” he said.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
They both went back to the swing they sat on previously but it had already been occupied by other people , two little humans, so they opted to go to another place more quiet and comfortable where they could have ample time.
” Errm Stephanie” he said picking up her hands
” I love you, hell you know I do since you came into my life you made it more colorful and brighter, thank you for adding more spice to everything in my life and I can’t even imagine a life without you” he said but was abruptly cut short by Stephanie who wanted to reply him
” Audreyyyyyyyyyyy this is so sweet” she said and covered her eyes.
“Can you let me finish ma” Audrey asked. She instantly became quiet.
“So I noticed I did you dirty, I really did you dirty these past months we have been together and not together” he said, ” I figured that I did not make this thing between us official we just w et with the fact that we liked each other, so when I was lying in my bed last night technically not my bed”he said and scoffed.
” What do you mean not my bed?” Stephanie asked with eyebrows raised, she had already grown suspicious, why would he not be in his bed?
” I slept over at a hotel yesterday” he said “with Austin, I invited him for a boys night out, we went to that bar we first saw each other because I wanted to be reminded of you by the time we were done at the bar, Austin was already wasted so he decided to just lodge us in the nearest hotel” Audrey said
” No wonder I saw Austin this morning looking like someone who was beat up overnight” she said . They both laughed and that was another thing he liked about her. She had a great sense of humor and just like her best friend Mirabel she knew how to make a ugly situation look fine or better.
“Babe let us not deviate, so I love a lot of things about you, your willingness to always help as much you can, you have a great sense of humor, you are the perfect role model to those around you, despite everything you went through, you still came out with that caring and loving attitude you did not allow the mistakes of other people stop you from giving love a chance, you are one of the strongest persons I know, thank you for loving me completely and wholeheartedly, no chaos no drama I promise” he said, by the time he was done he noticed that she was crying so allowed her take a breath and stop crying because he had not even started and she was already crying what if he starts what he has always intended to do that night, she would be filling up a bucket.
