"Ok. Maybe I am worried too much. I’ll try them on. The dress is gorgeous. Be right back!" I ran up the stairs with the package to try everything on.
Justin grabbed the remote and switched the channels while he waited for me to do my thing.
“Ok. Justin. What do you think?” I came back to the living room in the dress, heels, and jewelry with a big smile.
“Wow, you look really good! How do you feel in them?” Justin winked.
“I feel gorgeous and the jewelry make me feel like a princess,” I smiled again, “the dress fits perfectly, but the heels were a bit tight.”
“Can you still walk in them?” Justin asked.
“I should be Ok in these heels. It’s not like I will be running or hiking in them tonight. To look this good, I can forget about being comfortable for a few hours.” I winked.
“Well, I think you are all set for tonight then, Ashley” Justin laughed and turned around to watch TV again.
Chapter 19
Ashley
"Come on already Ash! We're late!" Justin yelled out from the living room. It was already 6:45pm. The party was to start at 7:15pm.
"I'll be down in a minute!" I had said that several times already. Justin must have gotten exhausted from waiting on me.
"You said that five times already!" He was quite frustrated at this point.
"I'm really sorry. I just needed to do some finishing touches to my hair and make-up." I started to walk down the stairs elegantly.
"Tell me now, how do I look?” I asked spinning around slowly in front of Justin to get his opinion .
"Just like I told you when you tried the dress on for the first time, there's no better figure for this dress than yours. It looks magnificent on you. You're certainly going to some women jealous tonight!”" Justin said as he laughed. I laughed too.
We had yet to find out who sent the package. I had thought it was Ryan, so I called him to ask and thank him for his kind gesture. However, it was not Ryan who sent them. I was still concerned a bit not knowing who send this gift to me, but I just decided to follow Justin’s suggestion and enjoy the party tonight.
A cab was waiting at the entrance to the apartment. Justin had booked us the ride as early as he could. He opened the door and allowed me to walk in. Then he got into the cab right after me and shut the door.
"You can go now, get us to this address." Justin said, reclining against the back seat where he sat with me.
"Alright, sir. You look really beautiful, miss. What a lovely dress!" I found myself blushing at the driver's compliments.
I did feel beautiful as I thanked the cab driver for his compliments.
"So this is going to be my ordeal standing close to you tonight?" Justin feigned an exhausted and teary face.
"You look good also, sir." The driver responded realizing that his one-sided compliments just might have upset Justin.
"Please ignore Justin. He knows he can’t wear this dress as well as I can." I laughed as I watched Justin laughed in his fancy suit and nice blue shirt.
I playfully pulled Justin's hair for making the comments about him not getting enough compliments on how he looked.
"Ouch!" He exclaimed acting like he's in excruciating pain.
"That's what you get for being such a big baby!" I stuck my tongue out to his face and arranged my hair neatly on my shoulders.
Soon enough, we were at the Ian’s estate and the driver brought the vehicle to a halt.
"I think you should help your wife out your door, sir. There is a large puddle on her side."
Wife? Both Justin and I looked at each other and began to laugh.
