Chapter 5

They were driving us to a mansion and if I was not mistaken, it was Suarez'. The gate was automatically opened and I looked at the guard's house. I saw the monitor of CCTV cameras around the corner of this mansion.I was surprised at the butler and maids aligned in two. We walked at the aisle and they were bowing as a sign of respect."Young Master Shawn, the guest room was already prepared.", the butler said with a smile. He was wearing eyeglasses and a black suit."Thank you. Did you prepare everything?", he asked to the butler."Yes, we did." He smiled at us.We were walking on the hallway and we went upstairs. It was really tiring to walk in this kind of stairs."Are you already tired?", Nick teased me."No." I frowned and I started going up quickly.I looked at Aya and she was almost tired walking upstairs. My mouth flew open when Gray had her a piggyback. They went up and the three boys teased them."Do you want it too?", Nick asked me while the two boys were smiling at us. He went in front of me and bent his knees."I don't like it. I can do it." I walked upstairs and left him with a smirk. He rolled his eyes and followed after us."What is this place?", Aya whispered. "It's too huge." "I'm uncomfortable." I secretly smirked."You can take a shower before the event." He looked at us once and Gray left us. "Event?", we asked him and the four boys looked back at us."It's Nick's birthday." Kim smiled at us and they all left.I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes with disbelief. Why did not I remember his birthday?It was yearly celebrated and I was refusing him to have a dance with me because he was not a good dancer. He would just make me feel embarrassed."Can I have this dance?" He offered his hand and I just looked at him. "Don't you want to feel like a princess?"I shook my head and he scratched the back of his head. He hissed and he left me alone."That was the reason why I don't like to dance with him." I hissed."Why don't you try?" Aya looked at me while undressing herself. I covered my eyes. "It's been long years and may be, he changed a lot.""Ah, why are you undressing yourself in front of me?" I was embarrassed."We're both girls and I should take the shower first!", she happily said while she hurriedly went to the bathroom.I looked at myself in a mirror. I was not that pretty, I thought. I have an ivory skin, with thick lashes and pink lips. I think that there was nothing special about me.I was worried if I was not good looking to Nick before. He looked handsome when we were kids. He was liked by other girls but some hated him because he treated me not nicely. How did I get his full attention?I sighed deeply and bit my lower lip. I looked around at the bedroom and it was empty. It had only a king sized bed with a small cabinet and a lampshade beside it. At the right side, it had a big closet. The walls were painted white with small motifs of lavender."I'm done." She went out with a pink robe. "Have a quick shower before you get cold."I took a shower quickly and I was stunned when she was holding a sky blue cocktail dress. She was smiling while she was turning around."What do you think?" She was looking at her reflection on the mirror. "It's prettty for you." She looked gorgeous on it. "Please don't get mad who gave it. Just think of the effort who made this cocktail dress." She winked at me. Did she make a plan with them? "Wait!", I called but she locked the bathroom door before I got her.I sighed deeply and bit my lower lip. I saw a white squared box and when I opened it, I was a little surprised. It suited my taste of style.It was a cream colored cocktail dress with a small buckle on its waist. It had its three folds to its left and I saw the cream heels at the bottom of the box. It was the same size as mine.I looked at Aya wearing her sky blue cocktail dress and she turned around."It's my style. I wonder how they know it." She bit her lower lip while swaying the skirt of the dress. "Tell me, is it your style too?"I was embarassed when she asked me. "No, it's not my taste." I lied because I didn't want to be excited of what was happening. She smiled at me and tucked my hair on my left ear. "I know it." She moved her lips on her left and grinned.We were busy on ourselves but there were knocks at the door. They were the makeup artists from the well known salon. I was stunned when they had us sat on the chairs and they started my nails cut and my hair curled.Aya and I were laughing while reading the magazines."So, you are the one who caught the attention of Young Master Shawn?", the makeup artist asked Aya and she shook her head. "Then, she is?" They turned their attention at me.I smiled wryly and said, "No.""He was saying to us that we should make you beautiful this night." I smiled at the makeup artist and see myself stunning. I told him to have my makeup lighter because I looked like a monster with a thick eyeshadows. Then, he made it after all."I know why he looked at you differently.", he whispered. "You have a different taste of your own style and on how you carry yourself."I was astonished at his compliments. I never heard it from anyone not even from Nick.Aya smiled like an idiot while she was looking at her new polished nails on her hands. "I like it!"We thanked them to have ourselves beautiful tonight and we realized that we have not eaten yet. We went outside and the sound of silence was making me like a deaf.The maid called our attention and she showed us they way to the dining hall. It was a long table and there were already prepared plates, utensils and glasses.I took a sip on my red wine as the maid poured another to Aya's wine glass. It had a bitter taste that was why I put it back to its place.The maid explained our dish as a French cuisine with a smile. She put the plates in front of us and we thanked her."This looks so good." Aya smiled while looking at her plate.We started eating but it seemed that I was not full. There were more foods that the maids offered to us and I obviously said that I was full.I heard two footsteps on the door and the two men opened it. It was Gray and Kim."Oops. I'm almost late.", Felix said while he was catching his breaths."It's okay." Kim smiled at him and turned his look at us."Shall we?" Gray offered his arm to Aya and she accepted it. My mouth flew open when she left me. She even winked at me before she leaned at his shoulder.I smirked at Kim and Felix. I grabbed their arms and I happily walked with them."What are you doing, Nana?", Kim asked."You'll make him angry when he sees us.", Felix added."Who?" My brows met and they were trembling beside me. I looked at the man with a light gray suit. His chestnut hairstyle was brushed up to his right side.He looked handsome and hot.I shook my head to flush away my thoughts and I looked back at him. He walked towards us and he offered his left arm. The two boys easily removed my hands to their arms and I was stunned at Nick.The way he looked now was different from his old look. He seemed to be a grown man with a manly built. His lips were may be soft to touch."What are you thinking?", he asked me while he was staring to my eyes. He went beside me and he put my arm to his.I looked at the maids smiling at us. It seemed to be weird. I was actually nervous at the extravagant ambiance of the event. It seemed like I could not move my feet because of how nervous I was but I sighed deeply and bit my lower lip.I did not realize that it was almost six thirty in the evening. There were visitors coming from the gate."Don't be nervous later. It is just my birthday." He smiled at me. That smile made me calm for a while. "Why are you doing this to me?", I asked him seriously and I frowned. "We're just teens.""Do I look like your man?" He was teasing me with his smile. "No." I shook my head and I looked away."You're my date tonight." He smiled at me and I gave him a frowning look. "Don't you want me to be your date? Just for once.""Okay. Since, I didn't bring any gift for you, just for once and nothing at all." I looked at his eyes.
