Chapter 14

It's two hours remaining to the function

John had arranged hair and makeup artist to come doll me up before I changed into my dress.

I called my mom and Ella earlier to explain to them about what I have been up to.

Mom spent the day with her friends and Ella was staying at a friend's place.

Then I face timed Ashley and Dave. They told me to facetime them after I have put on my dress so that they can approve it.

Friends code and all that!

So here was I at 7:30pm, face timing my besties after putting on my dress and looking so dolled up.

As soon as they saw me,they screamed so loudly that the cheers almost got me deaf.

"Damn bby , you're looking so damn hotttt,I can't wait to get Mr Smith's expression when he set his eyes in you". Dave said.

I laughed and we spoke for a few minutes before Mrs Trenton came to get me.

"Wow sweetheart you are looking so beautiful,she gave me a hug and told me to enjoy the evening".

John was waiting at the stairs,with his back facing me. The clicks of my heel alerted him and he turned around to look at me.

He looked so handsome on his tux,even though he wears suits everyday to work. This one was on a different level entirely.

His eyes widened as I walked down towards the stairs to meet him. The dress I choose was a gold,flowy and comfortable while still looking gorgeous with the stones around it. it was strapless. The gown had a little slit at the front which made me look like a goddess from heaven.

"Jasmine,you look.....wow!!"

"You too". I replied quietly with a smile .

He led me outside to the limo waiting for us.

30 mins later,we arrived at a very beautiful house.

There were photographers along the red carpet. Thankfully, John didn't stop for any of them.

We were greeted by the security at the door who ticked us off their lists and opened the door for us.

Walking down the hallway to another sets of doors. John knocked at the door and they opened up to a room that had a golden glow due to the chandelier in the middle of the ceiling.

It was set up so beautifully for the meal portion of the night which also has a bar and a dancefloor.

John led me around the room with him, meeting people making small side talk.

Then we met Mr Charles. The man we have meeting with on Monday. We chatted for awhile before he ran off to find his pregnant wife.

"I'm going over to the bar to get us something to drink. Don't move from that spot". John instructed.

Am I a child ?

While I was waiting, someone came to me.

"Jasmine!! This is why you blew me off on our date?" Michael said with a smirk.

"Yep. Duty called. What are you doing here I didn't expect to run into you here".

"I was also invited too. If I knew you were coming for this function, I would have told you to be my plus one".he said lifting my hands to his lips again.

But before he could peck my hand, John came and snatched my hand away from him.

"Too bad Michael. Where is your date for tonight?" He said.

"She is somewhere around. It was nice seeing you tonight and by the way that dress looks good on you. He said and winked at me".

He turned and walked away.

"What was that all about". I said folding my heads across my chest.

"We are going to dance. Come on".

He pulled me over to the dance floor and put an hand around my waist and another one on my hand.

"You didn't answer the question".

"Ask another one".

He looked really so angry, so I decided to lighten the mood. I asked the one that has been troubling me since on my mind earlier.

"Why did you call me your fiancee"

His face lighted up a little and he chuckled.

"It was fun, The look on your face is very funny.

"Oh thanks but do you know you almost gave me an heart attack with that prank you pulled".

"I know,but I bet I can give you another heart attack".

"What do you mean?" I focus on him so closely getting lost into his eyeballs.

"Well, wifey, I could do this".

With that he smashed his lips on mine and he kissed me.
