Chapter 12

I twirled once more in front of the mirror, admiring the open slits and my bare back. It was a black gown with slits on both sides that ran from my thighs to my heels.

I opened the shoe box and put on the silver stilettos without buckling them, then twirled again.

I turned away from the mirror, my cheeks colouring up in embarrassment.

"Too open" I said feeling self-conscious.

Two raps on the door and a very angry voice.

"Ain't you done yet?"

Jason's angry voice made me hesitate as I looked over other options, a blue ball gown and a beige yellow midi gown.

"I'm coming, give me a minute" I called back.

"You have been saying that over twenty minutes now, any other minute and I'm coming in"

"Don't, I'm almost done" I scrambled around and quickly wore a pair of diamond earrings that accompanied the gown.

Jason opened the door and walked in, I froze when I caught his angry reflection in the mirror.
