Chapter 68: Chapter 68

The dress

Ever

I mean I wanted to argue more but clearly I'm too sensitive. I sighed while taking a deep breath in while pulling my hair back into a nice ponytail and the exhaling while I tightened my hair. I ran my hands over my eyes while slightly rubbing them. I made my ways towards the bathroom and decided to pull myself together and make myself look decent for once.

I began the water as I placed my hand gently under the water, testing if the water was hot enough for my liking. I began to undress and I stared at the mirror but then looked at the closed door behind me. I decided to lock it, I don't need anyone interrupting my time by myself. I pulled down the perfect ponytail I just made for no reason and made my way towards the shower. I washed and shaved everything hoping to feel a bit better of myself. I finished up and turned off the showerhead and gently placed my foot outside of the shower and made my way towards the mirror trying to see at least a bit of myself in the fog.

I decided it was best I didn't look at myself and tightly held the towel around my frame, walking out towards the bedroom. Vincenzo was there looking at the door opening as I walked out. He was laying on his back on the bed as his eyes watched me. I saw a dress above his head laying perfectly on the pillows. The nice rose gold sparkled as the shiny lining of the dress made it so beautiful. My eyes made it back towards his, which were already staring at mine. I felt my ears starting to heat up. Even though he looks at me all the time, I can't seem to find myself ever getting used at how his eyes make me feel or even feel the slightly uncomfort from them.

"Are you just going to be staring at me?" I asked as I made my way towards the closet, turning my back towards him so I can't see his eyes anymore. I heard him shift but I didn't want to look over my shoulder because I already know his moves. My hands opened the door quickly, "I mean I can't stare at you anymore? Is it a problem for you now?" My breathing got choked up, but I tried to remain fine. "I never said that." My hands found themselves looking through his clothes to find something to wear. I was reaching towards a black t-shirt, but his hand wrapped around my wrist and turned me towards the left. I still never understand how he can be so stealthy around me after so many months being together.

"Clearly it's a problem you're trying to say." He said as he still held my wrist. I was holding the towel in my other hand as I felt it holding it tighter than ever. He tilts his head waiting for my response. I was trying to find words to reply but I got caught up just staring right back at him. His face remains blank, " We're going out in an hour. I bought you a dress, do your hair, I'll bring one of the other girls with makeup if you want that." His hand quickly letting go of my wrist as he quickly pushes down my other hand making the towel fall down.

My jaw clenched knowing if I tried to cover myself he'll just end up pinning me on the wall closest to us. His eyebrow raised, surprised I didn't move or even say anything. His arm snaked around my waist pulling me close to his chest, "I left a thong under the dress. I would like you to wear that and noticed that there is no bra there." He leaned down to my ear, " Don't wear anything else, Mai." He kisses my neck ever so softly and quickly made his way out. " I'll be back in an hour or so." He says as the door closes behind him.

My head turns to look at the dress, I sigh while bending back down to grab the towel.

One of the girls came in and asked me if I wanted the makeup and I said yes, but I asked kindly if I was the one who can do my look today. She smiled as she gave me her bag of products; she kindly agreed but before she left she told me I didn't need it. She left, leaving me alone; I was back in the bathroom and I decided to slick back my hair and pull it into a low bun. I looked at the dress on the bed on the reflection of the mirror and back into the bag of her makeup. The foundation was too light for me, so I couldn't really use it. I found an eyeshadow pallet which had soft nude colors. I decided to use that one and just use a soft look to my eyes. As I finished that up I found some eyeliner and made some wings on my eyes. I pulled out the foundation once more and used it as a concealer for the dark bags under my eyes.

I gave myself a good look and quickly turned around before I can judge myself and try to restart, it's not like I have all the time in the world. I walked up to the bed and picked up the dress and yes, the thong was under the dress like he said. It was a soft pastel pink thong. I rolled my eyes, of course, it's laced. I didn't want him to be annoyed by me so I placed it on and started to unzip the dress, but the zipper was on the side of the dress which I found weird. The towel fell once more on the ground as I placed the thong on and now my legs making their way in the dress. It was smooth as it ran up my leg. On the left my leg went through a slit I didn't notice on the bed. It was strapless with a very low cut back.

It ended right above my ass and the top of the dress was surprising staying up but I felt the silicon lining on the end of the top. It was skin-tight fit. I pulled up the zipper on the right side of my hip wondering why is there was even a zipper, but as it was coming closer the end it was tightening around my hips so I knew exactly why there was a zipper. I ran my hand over my hips and around my stomach as my fingers ran over the material of the dress. It was a very beautiful dress and doubting Vincenzo ever picked this dress all by himself.

A soft knock on the door made me tense up. I was trying to find a way to cover myself but as the door began to slowly open I was stuck frozen. My eyes were locked on who was coming in and I knew it wasn't Vincenzo because he would've barged in without asking since it was his room. "Ever?" his voice softly made its way in the room before he did. I was still frozen but I wasn't tense anymore as I heard his voice. "Oh wow." He said softly as he made his way in. I saw his hand holding some gold heels.

Edward was staring at me as he stopped halfways in the room. His mouth partly open but he blinked a couple of times and he cleared his throat, "Uh-Boss said for me to give you these and then walk you out to the cars." He rubbed his neck as he stuttered stepped towards me. He stopped a few inches away from me as he looked down to me. He was starring at me for a while as I stared back up to him. I saw his ears turn a slightly different shade as he slowly handed me the heels. I looked down to his hand and gently grabbed one of the heels from him.

I still felt his eyes looking at me but I placed one of my hands on his chest holding onto his jacket for support as I lifted my right leg up to place the heel on. As I placed my heel down onto the floor, I was about to reach for the other heel in his hand but before I can even reach for it, Edward was already bending down as my hand quickly let go of his jacket. He was on his knees in front of me as he reached for my left leg. I balanced on my right leg as he lifted up my left leg as he started to place the heel on.

I stared at every move he was making and was shocked that he was doing these things, I thought this was at least come from Ricardo. He gently places my heel down as he finished; he stared at my leg but I noticed that his hand was still on my leg. He made his was way back up but as he was coming back up his fingers were trailing on my leg from the open slit from the dress. My breathing was in short breaths but I stared at his face. His eyebrow were coming together and I knew he was talking to himself in his own head.

His fingertips stayed at my hip as he straightens himself up. He was looking at his hand for a few seconds but I couldn't find myself to say or do anything but just stare at his face. His eyes slowly made their way up towards mine. He starred for a bit but it was like an alarm triggered in his head since his eyes grew wide and his hand was pulled back so fast. He took a huge step back away from me as the hand that was on my hip went quickly into running into his hair. He avoided my eyes or even my body. "Uh-um. Let's take you to Vincenzo he should be in the car waiting for you."

He quickly made his way to the door as he starred out then starring at me. I swallowed trying to get rid of the dryness in my mouth. I picked up the dress as I made my way towards the door as well. As he heard my heels hit the floor he knew I was coming so he started to walk out of the room and into the hall. I followed after.

Vincenzo was leaned against the car door as he was on the phone talking to someone that was making him upset. His eyes looked up as he heard my heels hitting against the road, he stopped talking and just ended the call. Edward left right before we were going to walk out of the house, he said he needed to go back to get Ricardo. So I came outside by myself dressed like this. I felt my ears grow hot once more as he pushed off the car and took long and big strides towards me. "God damn Mai." He whispers as he snakes his arms around me and quickly pulling me hard against his chest. I look up towards him with a soft smile, "I'm fûckin good at picking dresses."

He smirked as he leans down and kisses me as his place his hand on my aśś. I kiss him back and he gives my aśś a squeeze and then pulling away as he gives it a smack. I give him a slight push and he chuckles, "It's mine so," he winkes at me and the open the car door.

"Get in Mai, we have business to take care of."
