Chapter 143: Chapter 143

(Vivienne)

"Relax... everything will be fine"Victor murmured as he worked on my hair. I was agitated and uncomfortable having him around and touching me. Although he seemed to be in a professional mood. It still gave me butterflies to know he was doing something which might be normal to him but intimate to me

"It's hurting a little...I think we should wait for Cassy" I said and reached for my hair trying to feel it but I ended up touching his hand instead. I froze when he rested his hand above mine. The warmth from his palm extended to mine and my heart skipped a few beats

"It's okay...just relax...I'll take care of this" he whispered, I had to say Victor was an exceptional man. He was full of surprises that shocked me every time he did something. He was gentle despite how aggressive he appeared to the eye

"This way...I'll apply some hair gel to soften it" he mumbled and took a clear bottle with some jelly yellowish liquid in it. He already told me I made a mistake with what I added to my hair

"Will it work?"I asked and helped him rub my hair and he didn't answer. His hands slipped to my neck and I felt a shiver run through my body at his touch. He massaged me a little and by now. I forgot I was completely naked

I didn't have to exaggerate when the man had seen me like this

"You'll be fine," he said and went quiet as he got to work. I relaxed as Victor washed me. He even said I put the right thing on my face but it wasn't ready to be peeled off to get the results. Was I getting special treatment from the only

****

Shaking my head to rid myself of the images of scenes in which earlier I heard a loud yell from outside my bedroom.

"Vivie...hurry up...it's been a while now!"Cassy shouted from outside the room and I was even more agitated. It was evening already and I was busy pacing around my room debating on which dress to wear. There was a blush pink short ruffle dress which was pretty and reached just above my knees with some cute gold heels. Then there was Monica's red half-shoulder beautiful gown. It was breathtaking and fell to the floor like a princess dress. It had some Lacy flowers around the edge and scanning it carefully it had a little tail like a mermaid.

I sighed as I looked at my choice and I knew I had to do something

"Vivienne you've been looking up in that room since morning...will you open up so we can help you!"Cassy shouted again and I just heard her. I glanced at the locked door and I knew after Victor left I'd shut everyone out

"I'm already done just wait for me!"I shouted for her to keep calm because her rushing me was already giving me anxiety

"Fine but hurry up...the grumpy lady is already fuming downstairs," she said and I knew Monica was back. She had been busy all day making arrangements at the venue where the party was being held. I guessed she would be disappointed if I chose to wear a different dress but before Victor left. He surprised me when he went through my closet and chose the little dress for me. When I first tried one, I was stunned because it was not so tight like the red dress and was comfortable since I was pregnant. The gold stilettos were not so high hence I smiled knowing I was going to wear the pink dress

"Okay Vivienne, time to get ready,"  I said and picked up the dress. I was happy for the first time. I didn't know why I felt this way. I quickly and carefully wore the dress doing everything not to mess up my hair

I was surprised when Victor took his time to help me with my hair. It seemed he was more experienced with hair that for a second I wanted to ask why he was such a perfect man

There was no such thing as a perfect person but Victor surprised me each time. The way he washed my hair, coaxed me when it hurt a little, and did get irritated when I told him it was best I didn't go to the party and embarrass him

"Nice" I muttered with a smile when I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection. My red hair was all shiny since Victor and I straightened it with a curling iron. I thought I would wear it down but I was stunned when he styled it for me. I let him do as he wanted and waited for the outcome but recalling the look on my face when he was done

"He's the best," I said when I applied some strawberry lip gloss which smelled wonderful. My lips were so soft and looking at my face I felt proud

"The grumpy man seems like he knows so much about women's stuff,"  I said when I applied some nude makeup, a little bit of eyeliner, and some blush. I giggled when I puffed my cheeks and small cute dimples showed

I made sure my eyelashes had some mascara

"Vivienne!" again Cassy shouted and I hurried to get my purse and wore my stilettos

"What's wrong with you, " I said with rage as soon as I opened the door and met Cassy who was looking beautiful in a red short dress which hugged her curves just the right way unfortunately the look on my face was nothing compared to her expression

"Wow...wow...I mean...seems the little princess was taking her time to get ready"Cassy said as she scanned me from head to toe. I didn't know if I was looking good but I wanted this.

"Is it bad...I mean I know it's not so glamorous but I don't have to get dressed up"I said looking at myself knowing Cassy was embarrassed that I didn't look so glamorous as Monica wanted

"You look beautiful...this is what I wanted Vivie...come," she said with a smile, winked at me, and held my hand. I didn't know if she was lying but she dragged me toward the stairs

"Don't worry I'm on my way...just stall for some time...come on Justin"I heard Monica say by the sound of her voice. She seemed irritated and worked up and once we walked all the way downstairs, Monica turned around unexpectedly still holding her phone to her ear. She seemed stunned as I walked to where she was and when she disconnected the call and looked at me with narrowed eyes. I grew afraid

"What are you wearing? she asked scanning me from head to toe and Cassy walked in front of me

"She looks beautiful so let's go," Cassy said cheekily and held my hand and tried to walk past Monica but she was not having it

"The dress code is red gowns for women and black tuxedos for men...and you are wearing pink...how special are you?"Monica said bitterly and I didn't know that. If victor knew the color of clothes being worn then why did he make mine different

"It's fine...she didn't do anything wrong and she can't go back to change...let's just go"Cassy defended me and I was glad because I wasn't in the mood to exchange words with Monica after that heated argument. She glared at me with a disdainful look and I knew she was not so happy that I was wearing something different from everyone

"Just relax okay...don't stress, it's bad for the baby, "Cassy said as soon as we got outside and it was dark. The driver was waiting by the car and once we reached him. He opened the back seat and Cassy held my hand and helped me get in

"Thanks," I said and settled down and she handed me my black ourselves. I sighed when Monica elegantly walked to the front seat and settled in with the driver

"You okay?"Cassy asked when she joined me and rested her hand on mine squeezing it a little for comfort and I nodded knowing I didn't mess things up

"Let's go, "Monica told the driver and the driver started the car and drove away from there. I prayed and hoped I didn't embarrass Victor in any way. Learning I was wearing something different made my heart race all I wanted was for Victor to tell me I didn't make a mistake. My nails dug in my palm as we got close to the venue. I was eager to see Victor as much as I was nervous for him to see me. He did my hair and I didn't want to do any other hair style other than his

"Are you sure...you want you hair like that"Cassy asked fixing my hair a little and I nodded

"I like it this way"I whispered and fixed the braid which Victor had done and draped to the front of my shoulder. he made sure half of my hair was covering my face just the right way and I liked it

"Then you look beautiful...love the dress and earrings...I didn't know you had such a dress"she teased nudging at my shoulder a little and I felt shy as I covered my face a little. Monica scoffed as if she was irritated and when we finally arrived at our destination. the car windows rolled down as my eyes wandered outside

"Where are we"I mumbled as my jaw dropped. I didn't know this was the place. Forget that I was stunned as the beautiful vibrant lights blinded me. there were countless expensive looking cars driving in just like ours and I knew this was so not me.
