14 Dress

There was a moment of silence after I greeted them and it made the moment more awkward for me. Why isn't Alex saying something? Did I do something wrong?

After a few seconds, Mrs. Wilson replied "Daughter, you don't have to be so polite. Just call us mom and dad like Alex do." she said sweetly and I smiled looking at her.

They sit there and talked about different topics. Alex and Mr. Wilson talked about their business and all whereas Mrs. Wilson was talking about my hobby and my family. She was really a very nice lady, giving me a sense of familiarity. Alex ordered some snacks and beverages and we all spent our time like that: eating and talking. Good for my luck that she didn't ask me anything about Alex or else I surely wouldn't have been able to answer her. She just talked about me and her. She also praised me for my representation at the meeting.

" Okay. Now that you have full filled your promise, we won't disturb you talking about your marriage. You can do whatever you want to." Alex's father finally said and stood up. Later her wife followed him. After reaching the door Mrs. Wilson turned around and looked at me.

" Don't forget to come to the party on time." she said. Oh yeah, the party now. "and Anna~" she said looking at me and continued, "This is a gift for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law." she said and took my hand. She put on a jade ring around my middle finger and kissed my forehead.

It was the first time someone kissed me with a feeling of motherhood. I was so touched. If only my mother was still with me, she would kiss me daily like this. My eyes got a little moist from this moment and I hugged Mrs. Wilson but I was also feeling sorry for her as we both, Alex and me were lying about our relation. How bad she would feel if she got to know that her son was lying about his girlfriend. I'll keep this ring securely and will return it to her when the truth is revealed.

After they left the hotel room I checked the time. It was four p.m. now.

" When will the party start ?" I asked Alex.

" 8 o'clock." he said looking towards me.

" Oh my god. I have to go now." I said walking towards my room to grab my purse.

" To where?" Alex asked while walking towards me.

" To buy a dress for the party." I quickly answered and opened the door to step out when suddenly a hand grabbed me and pull me backward.

It was Alex, but, when he pulled me I lost my balance and we both fell on the floor, me above and Alex below.

" Stand up, you are heavy." Alex said and it got me angry.

" Who said you to pull me? You could have also say 'stop'. And by the way, I. am. not. heavy." I said giving more attention to my last sentence.

" Okay, Okay. I'm sorry. Now stand up." he said and I started to stand up but felt my top loosening. I looked down and saw that my top's string was stuck with his shirt's button. We were half a way to stand but I pressed him and myself down again to the floor.

" What are you doing Anna?" he said confused, shocked and angry with my action. He tried to move and again I could feel my top loosening. The strings of my top was untangling and could open completely if he continued to move like what he was doing right now.

" Don't move." I said sternly and he did stop moving.

" Are you trying to seduce me in this way?" he said with an evil smile.

" Of course not!" I said quickly. What is he even thinking about? I looked down. Both of our chests were touching each other and I flushed.

" Anna, can you tell me what are you doing?" he said in a calm voice and I just answered a straight 'NO'.

" Now enough of this. Stand up now." he said and again started to move.

" No, no, no. Don't move." I said shouting. Closing my eyes shut, I hugged him tightly so that he can't move. I could feel that my top will fall off at any minute. He again froze in one place.

" Did something happen to you? Are you uncomfortable?" he asked softly.

I opened my eyes slowly hearing his soft voice. Thanks to God that he didn't move or only God knows how embarrassing that would be.

" Yes. Actually, m-my top's string has t-tangled to your shirt's button." I said looking down, embarrassed.

" Then just untangle it." he said as a matter of fact. What does he think? Am I looking like I'm enjoying the situation right now. Of course, I tried doing that but failed.

" I tried but if I move only a little bit now it will fall off. " I said face-palming myself.

We both laid down there for a couple of seconds in silence.

" Wrap your legs around me." he said and I widened my eyes.

" Don't stare at me. Do it." he again asked and I did what I was told to do. He hugged me tightly so that I remain steady without moving and stood up. After standing he first closed the door and said, "I'm closing my eyes now. You can untangle your string." he said and closed his eyes. I was taken aback a little bit. 'His brain really works.' I said to myself.

My hands reached his shirt's button and I started untangling it and finally, it untangled.

" Can I open my eyes now." he asked impatiently.

" No. Not now." I said and quickly wore my top back. "Yeah, you can open it now." I said as I finished. He opened his eyes and our eyes met each other. It was very embarrassing seeing him after what just happened.

" W-What do you wanted to say ?" I asked him, trying to change the awkward atmosphere.
