Chapter 34: Chapter 34

I browsed through different websites of famous designers but I still couldn't find a gown of my taste. I was about to close the laptop when I saw a red body hugging dress on one of the most famous designers website and I immediately fell in love with it. I messaged the designer and asked if it was still available and she said yes. I told her that we'll drop by her shop later and try on the dress. She was delighted to know and said that they would reserve the dress for me. I thanked her a couple of times and told her how grateful I am. I really like the dress. I felt a connection with it and I can not wait to try it on me.

I looked through the shoes that we bought the last time that we went to the mall and see if I could find something to wear for tonight's event. I thought of the time that Wade bought them for me. It was one of the best days in my life so far. It was our first date as a real couple and it was unforgettable. I smiled at the thought. I saw a black stilettos and knew that it would look good on a red dress. I would look hot but at the same time, presentable. It's the look that I wanted to achieve for tonight. I took it out and I would wear it tonight. I haven't worn it yet and it still has it's price tag on. I'm glad I decided to buy this one before.

I was browsing through my social media accounts when Wade called. I looked at the time and saw that it was almost lunch time already.

"Hey" I said. I looked and sounded joy. I knew it must be visible.

"Hi," He said. "Are you ready? I'm about to get off of work now."

"Yeah, I am." I said. "I was just waiting for Logan to come and get me. "

"Alright," He said. "Don't wait for him. He's just waiting for you at the car as well. I already told him where to drive you to."

"Oh, alright, I'll go out there and we'll hit the road." I said. "You should've told me sooner that he was waiting for me. I don't want to be late on our lunch date."

I heard him laugh on the other line. "Don't worry, I can wait for you. Plus, I am still on my way. I might take a few minutes too."

"Alright," I said.

"See you," He said.

"See you," I said as well.

We ended the call and I came out of our room. I was wearing a white body hugging short dress and a flat sandals. I didn't want to wear something heavy since we would go on a lunch and try the dress afterwards. I wore something that is comfortable on a sunny afternoon as well. I went directly to the garage and Logan was there, he was standing beside the car.

"Hey," I said and he nodded. I have been meaning to talk to him for quite a while now. "Logan, I am sorry for what I did the last time. I'm sorry for lying to you. I know, I shouldn't have done that and I regretted it. I hope you could forgive me." I meant every word that I said. When Wade said that Logan might lost his job because of what I did, I immediately felt guilty. He has nothing to do with my decisions and I only lied to him. His only mistake was that he believed me. I fooled him.

"I forgive you," He said and smiled a little. "Just please, don't do it again. I thought Sir Wade was going to fire me but luckily, he didn't. He just gave me a warning."

"Yeah, I promise I won't give you headaches anymore." I said and laughed a little. "I know how much your job means to you and I respect that. I promise, I won't let you lose your job because of me."

"It was actually your friend who was being a bad influenced to you." He said. Friend? Who is he referring to? Erin? Matt?

"What do you mean?" I said.

"Erin," He simply said. Why do I felt like there was something more that he meant by that? Did Erin do something to him?

"Why?" I said. Erin isn't a bad influence to me. She is my best friend and I know she only wants what is best for me.

"Nothing," He said. "Let's go? Sir Wade might be waiting for you already."

I felt like there was something more that has been going on with him and Erin but I just let it go. I nodded and he opened the car door for me. I hopped in at the backseat and he turned around and entered the driver's seat. He started the car engine immediately.

"Where are we going?" I said.

"Sir Wade gave me a location. It's a restaurant not far from here." He said.

"Alright," I said.

Logan drive off and I remained silent. My phone beeped and I saw a text from Erin.

'How are you?'

Wow, that three words were her only message after last night. She didn't even told me how she went home and what happened after Wade and I left.

"Logan," I said and looked at him on the mirror. "How was Erin last night? Did you bring her home after we left?"

Logan cleared his throat and nodded. I felt him being uneasy every time I say Erin's name.

"Yeah, I had to pull her out of the bar and drove her home. Sir Wade gave me the address of her condo." He said. "He specifically told me to make sure she gets home safe."

Oh, I could smell something fishy going on here. Are these two dating or something? I ignored the thought and didn't pressure Logan that much.

After what felt like half an hour of driving, we reached the restaurant Wade was talking about. Logan opened the door for me and I stepped out. Wade went out from the resto and saw us immediately. He and Logan talked for a while and he thanked Logan for driving me here. Logan was about to leave when I thought of inviting him for lunch as it was past lunch time too. He might be starving as well. I have grown a liking for Logan as my bodyguard and as a person. He's genuine and he try cares for me, my safety utmost.

"Logan, why don't you join us for lunch? It's past twelve noon already." I said.

"Actually, Sir Wade invited me already but I really have to go. I am meeting someone important today so I must leave." He said. I nodded and didn't say another word again. Who is he meeting? Is he going out with Erin now?

I ignored my thoughts and turned to Wade. He turned to me too after waving at Logan.

"What are you thinking?" He said.

"Nothing," I said. I'm not sure yet about Erin and Logan and I might have been mistaken so I would not tell Wade about it yet. "Let's go?"

He nodded and put his arm around my waist and guided me towards the resto.

"Did you wait for too long?" I said.

"No, I just arrived a few minutes before you did." He said.

The waitress greeted us but Wade said that we already have a reserved table. We went to where it was and the waitress immediately gave us their menus. Wade and I ordered and she walked ahead to prepare for whatever we wanted. I noticed how she looked at Wade with her sparkling eyes and Wade didn't even looked at her. He was naïve on how much he affected the poor woman..

"Where do you want to look for a dress?" He said when the waitress left.

"Actually, I have chosen one already. Can we go to their shop and try it on?" I said.

"Of course, we will," He said. "We'll do that after lunch."

"Thanks," I said.

Our orders came and we started eating. Wade kept on telling me about a weird encounter he had with a future investor earlier. He said that he was odd in a light way. I don't know, even he, didn't get what he was saying. He just find that person funny.

I also told him about how kind the designer I was talking to and that she reserved the dress for me. I also told him how excited I am for the charity event tonight. He said that he finds it a bit boring but because I will be there, he won't be bores at all.

I didn't eat much since I was worried that my tummy would go big and the dress won't fit on me anymore. Wade laughed at me but didn't forced me to eat more. I waited for him to finished eating while I was chatting with the designer. I told her that we will be there shortly.

"Why are you smiling? Who are you texting?" Wade said. "Do I have to get jealous of that someone?"

I laughed and shook my head. "It's the designer I was talking to you about. She's excited for me to try the dress on."

"Oh, alright," He said. "I'm done here. Do you want to go now?"

"Are you good to go?" I said.

"Yeah, I can drive even when I'm full, you know." He said jokingly.

"Then, let's go." I said. I stood up and he did too but not before putting cash on our bill. We walked to the door and the resto staff thanked us. It didn't go unnoticed to me that the girl stuff here were looking at Wade with admiration un their eyes. Sorry girls, this man right here is mine.

We went to his car and he drove to the direction of the shop. I was so excited that as soon as we reached there, I immediately went out of the car. Wade followed me inside and I kept on telling him to walk faster. He just smiled at me and shook his head. Men won't understand how a dress could brighten up a woman's entire life.

I was greeted by a middle aged woman whom I know was the designer I was talking to.

"Hi," I said. "It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to finally meet you too. I have been waiting for you today." She said "Shall we try the dress on?"

"Oh wait, let me just wait for my husband first, I want him to see the dress too." I said and looked at the door just in time for Wade to enter. He looked around and when he saw me, he walked near me.

"This is my husband," I said. "Wade Harris."

"Yeah, I know him. I thought I was mistaken when I thought that you were the very beautiful Camierre Harris but I was not. What a pleasure to have you here!" She said and offered a hand to Wade. Wade accepted it. I smiled at the woman and after the introduction, she led us to the fitting room. She excused herself for a while to get the red dress and told us to wait in the fitting area and so we did.

She gave me the red dress and I immediately knew that it was the one for me. I tried it on. I put my hair on a ponytail to show the details of the gown. When I was done, I went outside to where Wade and the woman was waiting. They were talking but they turned to me when I went out. They stopped talking and gave their full attention to me.

I saw how the woman's eyes grew wide upon seeing me. Wade also looked stunned when I went out. So, I guess, the gown looked good on me. I smiled at Wade and he was stunned still.

"You are so beautiful. It hugs your body perfectly." She said. She then turned to Wade. "What do you think?"

"It's perfect. She's perfect." Wade said and the designer clapped her hands. "You look perfect in that dress, babe. You should go for it."

"Thanks babe," I said and smiled. I turned around and let them see the back details of the dress. It was semi backless but it still covered enough skin and at the same time showed how sexy my back is.

"Now, I don't think I'll be allowing you to go around on that dress. You are smoking hot " Wade said and shook his head.

"She definitely is," The woman said. "I'm sure people will be staring at you especially when you two walk together on that venue. You would be outstanding."

"Thanks," I said. "What do you say? Shall I get this?" I asked Wade and he nodded. I clapped excitedly when he did. I love this dress now and I would love to wear it tonight on our first social gathering appearance as a married couple. I think that was what excites me the most, the fact that I would be walking with Wade on a red carpet event and a lot of people would be there.

I went back to the fitting room after we agreed on getting the dress.After I took off the gown, we paid for it and went home. Wade said that he could let some make up artists on our home for me but I declined. I only wanted a light makeup to go with my bold red dress tonight so I told him that I could manage to do my own look. The event will start at around six in the evening so I started getting ready at four thirty. I showered and blow dried my hair before I curled it on bigger waves. I applied my makeup on and put on the dress that we just bought. Wade was also preparing like me. I was done when he went near me and held my waist. He out some loose strands of my hair beneath my ear.

"You are so damn sexy, babe," He said. "Men would look at you and I don't like it. I'm starting to think that we should not go."

"What?" I said and laughed. "We can't do that. We went through all the troubles ready."

"Why do you have to be so gorgeous? I don't want other men to look at you the same way that I look." He said and rubbed my waist as if it could calm him. I held his hand tightly and looked at him straight on the eyes.

"Don't worry; they can look for as long as they want but they can't touch. I'm yours, remember? I am only yours." I said and kissed him lightly on his lips.

"That's my girl," He said and kissed me deeper.

I stopped him before he could smudged my lipstick on.

"Stop, you'll ruin my makeup." I said and laughed.

"Why do you worry? You don't even need makeup to look pretty." He said and winked. This man really know his way on things. "You are beautiful in so many ways, babe."
