“Do not let him go.”
I know I should not really need any ones approval of Adrian, but I really wanted Sophie’s blessing. She is usually never wrong about anyone, but she has admitted that she got it wrong with Adrian. From what I hear and I will get all the details tonight, Michael has moved into the same room as Katharine. They are according to Sophie, in love with each other. As for Sophie, she is still going strong with Dan, and to her delight Chace and Chelsea have broken up, he apparently cheated on her, with Portia. None of which is concrete information, but it is the latest gossip and Sophie could not wait to share it. As for me, I seem to have no interest in the silly lives of the New Yorkers anymore. I have different priorities now, and have no views or opinions on Manhattan’s elite. For all I care I could never hear a piece of gossip about boob jobs and cat fights ever again. I seem to have no time for the things I used to. It is not that they have changed it is that I have. I am more grown up now and I know what matters in life, and it is not all about the parties and the backstabbing, but instead it is about love, and the love I have for Adrian.
As I get ready for tonight’s spectacular dinner, I sit at the massive, white marble dressing table in the oversized bathroom. Tonight’s dinner is appointed, in one of New York’s most desired eateries, it usually takes months before they even consider giving you a table, however when Adrian called, they said there were full tonight but they would make room for him. The restaurant also requires black tie, therefore, I have dressed myself in a tight, black and white cocktail dress. It is a little short, but not to revealing. I start to run the curling iron through my hair, when I hear a soft knock at the door.
“May I come in?” I hear Adrian say, as he slightly opens the door.
“Yes, come on in.”
“You look stunning, my love.”
“Thanks,” I say blushing.
“I have something for you,”
“Adrian you didn’t have to get me anything.”
“No, but I wanted to.”
He hands me a red Cartier box; it is long and not very wide. Before I open the lovely red box, I glare at Adrian. He stands in his entire splendor with a, glossy black pinstriped suit with a tie to match lodged onto a crisp white shirt underneath. His light chocolate hair is like silk, and is loosely slicked back, with a little more gel in it than I have ever seen before. However, there is a few straggly bits that have fallen out of place, but that makes it even more beautiful. He looks at me with hunger in his eyes, and I still cannot understand what he sees in me. When people see us out together, they must think of how miss matched we are. I shake of the feeling of anxiety that fills me every time I think of that, and I open the little red box. I search down into the bottom and I find an all diamond yellow gold tennis bracelet.
“Adrian it’s beautiful, will you?” I say, as I hold out my arm for him to put the bracelet on me. He smirks and takes the bracelet out of the box. He carefully places it on my arm; the feeling of his skin on mine is invigorating. He looks into my eyes, places one hand on my cheek, he leans in, and kisses me, and it is as if my life is complete.
We arrive at the restaurant, and Michael and Katharine are already there waiting for us. Standing right there in front of me may just be the most beautiful couple; I have ever laid eyes on. Michael with his jet black hair and blue eyes, Katharine so tall and lean, with gorgeous strawberry blonde hair. The two of them really look so good together, and I hope that this thing with them can last. We sit at our large candle lit table at the back of the restaurant. Before I have a chance to sit down Katharine pulls me to one side, she whispers in my ear,
“Look at us, with the two most gorgeous guys ever.” I flash Katharine a cheeky smile.
Katharine is the type of girl that is wholesome, she has an urge to say whatever pops into her mind, and she has a bit of a reputation for being a little ditzy. However, she is possibly the most loyal girl you could ever hope to meet. She has dated quite a few people, but none of them ever seems to work out. The thing that worries me about her is that she has the tendency to let people take advantage of her. She is a people pleaser and I fear that she could be easy lead. I really hope that Michael’s intentions with her are honest, and he does not just see her as easy.
“How are you feeling about going home tomorrow Adrian,” Katharine says as she takes a sip of her champagne.
“I have work Katharine, but yes if what you are referring to is me leaving Alanna, then no I don’t want to go.”
“Wow you’re pretty intense, how can you cope with him Alanna?” Katharine says joking, but I feel that Adrian maybe did not like that little comment.
