“I can’t find an outfit, help, please.” Katharine lets out a giggle as she begins to pick through the designer threads. I watch as her face lights up at the sight of the clothes.
“How about this,” Katharine holds up a soft pink Dior dress and I can tell that she adores this dress. I smile at her and I say.
“That dress would look amazing on you.”
“Alanna I couldn’t,” she says quietly.
“Yes you can, take it.” I smile at her and I watch her look over the dress.
“It’s a stunning dress but I what would Adrian say?” I narrow my eyes at her.
“Katharine don’t worry about him, he won’t have anything to say. And if he does then I will put him in his place.” I giggle at my words and I catch Katharine smiling as she strokes the dress.
“Are you sure about this?”
“Oh for heaven’s sake, take the dress and help me find something to wear.” I insist. Katharine gently lays down the dress as he begins again to rummage through the clothes. She finally chooses me a dress and I smile at her choice. Katharine bolts out the room and I begin to get dressed. I carefully slip on the white, figure hugging, Oscar de la Renta dress that Katharine chose for me. I quickly blow dry my hair and I apply some light makeup. I gaze at myself in mirror as I slip on my gold Rolex. As I take in my reflection, I notice that some freckles have appeared on my face and that I am slightly sunburned. I switch off the light and I walk back into the room. I slip on my black Jimmy Choos and then I head out into the hallway. I walk into the lounge and I gasp as I clap eyes on Katharine. She looks stunning and that dress is gorgeous against her tanned skin. Her hair is up in a high bun and I notice that she is wearing huge diamond earrings. I walk over to her and I say.
“Katharine you look amazing. That dress is stunning on you I could never have carried it off in the way that you have.” She smiles at me and I begin to walk over to the built in bar.
“Would you like a drink?” I ask.
“Yes I am gasping.” I laugh at her as I pour two glasses of champagne. We take a seat in the lounge as we wait for Adrian and Michael.
The door bursts open and in walks Adrian. He immediately walks over and sits down next to me. He takes my hand and softly kisses it. I place my other hand onto his cheek as he leans in and kisses me. It is not until Adrian pulls back that I remember that we have company. I shyly smile at Katharine as she stares at us.
“How was your day?” Adrian asks as he walks over the bar.
“Amazing and yours,” Adrian takes a sip of water as he makes his way back over to me.
“Baby I won’t bore you with business, but the meeting went well.” I watch Katharine as she shifts around nervously. I can tell that something is bothering her and I have a feeling that I know what it is.
“Where is Michael?” I ask Adrian. Katharine immediately turns to face Adrian and I notice that looks a little worried.
“I don’t know I thought that he would be back by now. He left ages before me hasn’t he called you?” Adrian says. Katharine shakes her head and I begin to get worried. However, I try to reassure Katharine that everything is okay.
“I am sure that he just got held up somewhere, don’t worry.” Katharine presses a smile from her lips and I can tell that she is worried. I quickly glance at Adrian and I think that he feels sorry for Katharine. He rolls his eyes as he runs his fingers through his hair. Everything is silent as we wait for Michael.
I jump as I hear door burst open. Adrian lets out a husky laugh at my reaction and I playfully slap his leg.
“I am sorry that I took so long.” Michael says as he makes his way over to Katharine. She looks lovingly up at him and she reaches out for a kiss. However, Michael ignores her and I watch as Katharine’s heart sinks.
“You look amazing Alanna,” Michael says and I feel very uneasy at his words. I don’t really know how to respond to him and it looks as if Katharine is an inch from tears. I try to compose myself as glare wickedly over at him.
“Thanks, but look how amazing Katharine looks.” I say a little bitterly. Michael narrows his eyes at me and then he turns to Katharine. He stares at her and he finally says.
“You look wonderful babe.” Katharine’s face lights up at his comment and I feel even more uneasy that she forgave him so easily. Adrian shakes his head at Michael and then he turns to me.
“Baby, it is nearly time to go, have you packed?”
“Yes, I am ready when you are.” Adrian quickly gets up from the seat and he makes his way into the bedroom. I quickly follow him and he instructs me to close the door. I walk further in the room and Adrian glides towards to me.
