Picture-Perfect

Sunday morning,

Anna woke early in the morning and felt refreshed even after having slept for a short period. She freshens up in no time and walked into her closet for selecting clothes for the day.

Anna was about to pick-up her usual home clothes but suddenly her phone buzzed; she looked at the digital clock in her room and was surprised that its just 7'o clock in the morning.

She almost went in a shock as soon as she saw the caller ID -CHRIS~

She answered it instantly. "Don't tell me you're dying again?" Anna said in a harsh tone.

"You're really heartless!!" the person on the other side said in his deep and mellow voice as he joked with her.

Well, he can't blame her; 3 weeks ago, he asked her when he was almost on his death bed.

"What do you want?" Anna was tapping her foot anxiously. This person's call shouts 'BEWARE' every time.

The man laughed as he enjoyed her anxiety but stopped before overdoing it and said. "You've 30 minutes to have coffee with me at our usual place." He hung up after saying his piece.

Anna looked at her phone and reassured herself that the call was disconnected and but she was still in daze.

She then remembered the time limit and cursed him in her heart. "DAMN IT!!!"

Anna pulled away from casual to business suits and selected something as fast as possible.

In 5 minutes, she dressed herself and pulled her hairs into a messy bun with some hairs falling from both side; she put some foundation and chose a bold red lip shade and match-up 4 inches black heels for herself.

She then took her purse, phone and tablet with her looked last time in mirror and smiled at herself and went out from her room.

........

Downstairs,

Everyone has just woken up and were lazing around in the living room, surprisingly Evan and Ethan are here too. And everyone was having coffee when they heard the hurried steps from upstairs.

Anna descended from stairs looking fresh and extremely beautiful, as she doesn't have the hobby to dress up so the minimal make-up look makes her enchanting.

An all-black suit paired with matching heels and bag with light foundation and bold red lip-shade; her hairstyle enhances her swan like neck and the look made her appear mature and extraordinary.

Anna saw them sitting in the living room and looking at her with mouth-agape and was stunned for some seconds.

"Good morning, everyone." Anna broke the silence when everyone came out of daze.

Jasmine stood up and ran to her and walked around her with shock written on her face. "Baby, you have fever!!!" she lightly touched Anna's forehead to which latter frowned.

"I'm fine." Anna was truly in hurry and her voice sounded impatient.

"Then what is all this?" Everyone nodded and her friends came in front one-by-one and observed her.

"How much time did you take to dress-up so grandly?" Mia narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

Anna shook her head at them and smiled helplessly.

"I'm really fine, I took only 5 minutes to dress-up like this and I'm in hurry right now!!" Anna then looked at the Wright brothers.

"Good morning, little Angel" She smiled at Ethan and turned to Evan with a faint smile. "Good morning, Mr Wright."

Evan was little upset with her way of addressing him but nodded at her with smile.

"Ann, where are you going looking so fresh and beautiful?" Ethan stood and asked.

"Little Angel, I'm actually----" her reply was cut-off because her phone buzzed again and the caller ID made Anna curse loudly. "Damn it, I'm coming." Anna then received the call but Mia snatched it and pressed the speaker button stubbornly.

Anna was shocked but Mia didn't give back and then a voice vibrated in her house.

"Are you coming or not?" The man's voice sounded impatient and that gave shock to everyone present.

'Anna is going on a date with a man dressed-up so beautifully!!' everyone thought at the same time but Evan's focus was on recollection for something.

"Order for me too then, I'll be there in time!!!" Anna said loudly and hung up the call after snatching the call.

"I'll talk to you later guys, something urgent is here. I will be in a meeting, okay?" Anna said to them and looked at them nervously.

"I'm going towards business street-1, if you're going near there, Can I drop you?" Evan stood up and straighten up his clothes.

"Well that's a win-win then, I'm going towards the same street's café COOL JOY." Anna accepted his proposition and went towards the door.

Her friends were shocked and speechless with the way they converse and sat back at their places.

"I'm actually worried for Evan." Mark suddenly said and took everyone with surprise.

"Me too." Ethan shook his head worriedly.

......

Meanwhile, Anna and Evan sat inside the car totally silent.

Evan took a deep breath and released it slowly, he looked at Anna; and found her glowing even when sitting there silently.

A picture-perfect look and he took his phone silently and capture a picture of her secretively.

"So, what is so special today?" Evan asked finally after thinking hundred-times in his head.

"Someone important came to meet after a long time." Anna said in a low voice.

Evan was stumped for words as she ended the conversation with that dull reply.

"How is Stacy doing recently? Haven't heard from her after that day!!" Evan asked her as they didn't have many things in common.

He was expecting an answer but was stunned to see her frozen after hearing his question.
