Chapter 107: Prom Day {1}
I stood before my mirror in my dress, almost matching the color of my eyes, V-neck, and the sleeves although tiny but thick enough for me but my arms were still exposed now everyone will see just how skinny I was. The dress just stopped at my knees, straight.
I leveled my gaze to the white cardigan jacket, well that will do, I can take that, the night is cold after all.
I slid on it before fixing my hair in my usual top bun, Today so far was kinda okay, what made me smile was speaking with my mom, she was actually the first person, ramming the words ’Happy birthday,’ to me and kisses, I swear if she were here she will give me a bear hug which I craved, but distance was a bitch.
And then I got messages from Henry and miles, it seems they were told too.
"Okay," I said to myself, I look simple and that was okay for me, the heels I wore weren’t those high ones, they looked almost like sanders, at least I can walk with them.
I sighed. "You can do this" I muttered to myself, there will surely be a crowd but well I will just have to endure it.
"Emma!"
"Coming!"
I quickly tied the rose to my wrist, wore some dot earrings, and sighed deeply before grabbing my purse with my phone in it and rushing downstairs but I ceased my actions when I saw Owen. I remained frozen just at the height of the stairs, unable to take my eyes off him, he looked good wearing a tux, he looked all brushed up and I mentally slapped myself for dressing so vaguely. Maybe I should have applied makeup, I would have just asked Vanessa for help, great!
I descended the stairs adjusting my glasses and he smiled.
"You look beautiful"
