6 Chapter 6: Stop

My heart hammered when my brother mentioned the date thing. And what's more shocking when Atticus ask me out! My mouth just parted and it took me a minutes to process it.

I couldn't believe it! Atticus asking me a date?! What on earth did it happen?! I can't accept the fact he is asking me to date him.

"Are you serious?!" I exclaimed surprisingly at my brother who looked concerned at me.

I eyed him widely and my mouth parted with an 'O' shape. He gently pull it up to shut my mouth. And I saw him wiggle his eyebrows.

"Your saliva is falling..." he shook his head like I dissapointed him.

"That's embarrassing if Atticus caught you... tsk." He added.

I smacked his arm and, "Your such a devil brother!"

He smirked and he get up then offered his hands to get me up to at the floor. I handed it too. The floor is cold and my legs are now feeling a cramps.

"Be careful!" He hissed when I almost fell because my knees is cramping.

"Yes brother," I rolled my eyes.

"Your attitude is unbearable, huh?"

My forehead creased at the sudden change of topic. But I didn't argue though. My mind is in the other world now.

The date is giving me chills down my spine. The butterflies in my stomach are going wildly as they flying. The thought is exciting me.

I bit my lower lip as I scrolled down on my phone to window shopping at the online platforms. Well, I preferred shopping live but what if there is more beautiful dresses online, right? Why to give it a try.

"Hmm... how about this beige puff sleeve off shoulder or this green casual ruffle hem?" I debated with myself.

I just picked the beige puff sleeve off shoulder. I don't want to be overdressed. I don't want to look like an excited animal hungry for her prey, like not eating a decade years.

An half later of the 'date', me and Atticus, I spatted my look at my mirror to look if I'm good. I wore the dress I picked. Then partnered it with a one inch white strap stilleto. To emphasize my height since I'm just 15. But I'm thankful that my father's genes is running into my blood. That's why I have the height that girls dying for.

I just curl my hair at the tip to look it wavy. Then I put some hairpins to be not bland in the eyes. I just applied a simple make up. I don't want my face to be look like a clown. I couldn't afford to make Atticus uncomfortable.

I get my perfume then sprayed it to the air then twirl myself to absorb the perfume naturally and not overly. I sprayed it also in my wrist then smells it. It's smell like the red rose, my favorite rose!

After that, I clung my Chanel bag. Then marched at the door of my room. I sashayed down to the receiving area. As soon as I reached the receiving area of our house I saw three built. The piercing gaze is the first I saw. I saw them also with a serious gaze ready to eat their prey to fill their hungriness. Suddenly my knees started to wobbles. My heart is racing and can't able to composed myself.

I cleared the lump in my throat. "Uhm, hi?" I greeted uneasily. I feel my hands are sweating but I tried my best to composed myself. "You're too early, princess." Brother mocked at me. I rolled my eyes at him. But when I parted my mouth to answer back my brother, mother interrupt. "I think you are overdressed, princess?" Mom asked then her serious aura a while ago change now with a teasing look. The nervousness I felt suddenly torn.

I can't help but to smile at my mother then wiggle my eyebrows. She wiggled too. "Mom I'm not overdressed!" I debated.

"Yes you are! Did you look yourself in front of your mirror? Huh!"

"I did!" I exclaimed. My cheeks are burning now. I heard her laugh.

"Silly, I'm joking. You're beautiful, princess, like me!" I laughed at her remark.

"Psh, I don't want to see you like this." Dad but in.

Mom and I stop. My brother just crossed his arms like he is enjoying what will happen next. The nervousness rised up again. I held my two hands to stop them from shaking. If I can sit, I would! My legs are shaking now. My father's blue eyes like the calm sea in the broad light dig deeper in my soul.

"You're now a grown up lady," Dad said then I heard him sob.

My mother caress the back of my father. Brother shook his head like he is dissapointed in the reaction of Dad. While me? Shock!

Nervously I step down in our car to go to the place where we will going to meet. Lastly, I retouched and fixed myself then let out a loud sighed. I sashayed elegantly to the Italian restaurant.

"Good morning Ma'am! Do you have a reservation?" The staff lady gently asked.

I smiled at her then said the name of Atticus. She politely guided me in the room where we will going to eat. My heart hammered and my steps are now slowing.

When we reached the door the staff lady opened it. Hesitating I step my foot at the room. I saw a built of man facing his back where I am. The staff lady left already and the door is close now.

I silently praying that I won't do anything to embarrass myself in front of Atticus. The sound of my heels make Atticus turn his back to face me. As soon I see his face my heart suddenly stop. My breathe stop also. My world shattered into pieces as soon I saw his face.

What the hell is happening?!

(A/N: Hi! I'm sorry for the late update. I hope you will understand me. I can't regularly update IAOY since I am a student at the Philippines. And we used modular basic learning to cope up with our studies. Even a single update in a week, I can't update. I am just a poor human being and I am using a mobile data to research my modules. But the load is wasn't enough. Hahahaha. Even I wanted to update I can't because I don't have any money to have load to update a chapters here. I hope you will understand! And thank you because you read my story and we already reached chapter six. I couldn't believe it even myself that I had this far. Thank you for supporting me and not leaving me behind. I hope you will support me 'till the end.)
