Chapter 25

On Saturday evening.

"Guys my date is in an hour and I don't know what to wear" Ariana complained when she answered the group video call.

"Calm down, show us some options" Anika said. Ariana showed them some clothes that she plans on wearing to her date.

"Ugh, you're going to wear that to your date?" Annie laughed.

"What's wrong with it?" Ariana asked holding a black gown.

"It's just not an outfit for a date..."

"Are you going to a funeral?" Annie laughed.

"Annie, you're not helping" Ariana pouted.

"I'm coming over to your place" Anika said.

"Annie, are you coming?"

"Nope, got some work to handle. Ariana when are you going to resume work, boss is really mad at you" Annie stated.

"Tell him I'll be resuming on Monday, Anika please hurry" Ariana said.

"I'm on my way".

"Good luck babe," Annie said and she ended the call.

**************

The doorbell rang, Ariana knew who it was so she hurriedly opened the door.

"Thank God you're here" she smiled and hugged Anika. They walked into Ariana's room.

"Is my brother around?"

Now that Ariana thought about it, she hasn't seen Zach for days. She did not even notice his absence. She shrugged her shoulders, she doesn't care. "No" she answered.

"Looks like a tornado visited your room" Anika said. Ariana's room is a mess. Clothes are scattered everywhere.

"I still don't know what to wear" Ariana slump on her bed.

"No worries, I got you" Anika smiled.

Anika rummage through Ariana's wardrobe for a suitable outfit for her date. Since it's Ariana's first date, she wanted her dress to be exclusive. She had selected a few gowns for Ariana to go change into.

"Wow, that's it, that's definitely it. That dress screams you!" Ariana smiled as she stared at the mirror. She wore a Royal purple gown that kissed her body revealing her perfect curves.

"I don't know..."

"Now it's time for your hair" Anika stated with a smile on her face.

"Anika, I love this dress but it's too much for my date. Can we just go for something simple" Ariana said. She loved this dress but her social status doesn't match this dress.

"I thought that you might say that. I got a dress for you, I'll go get it" Anika smiled and she rushed out of the room.

Anika came back with a dress with her. "I saw this dress when I was coming and I couldn't help myself so I bought it, it'll look great on you" Anika handed Ariana the dress. Ariana changed into the dress and came out from the dressing room.

"So what do you think?" Anika asked.

Ariana stared at the mirror. It is a sleeveless kneel high peach gown. It has some stripes design of black and white from her arm to her stomach.

"Wow, I love it. Thank you so much" Ariana hugged Anika.

You're welcome, I also bought a suitable pair of shoes to go along with the dress. Anika brought out a pair of white heeled sandals from her bag. "Try it on".

Ariana quickly wore the shoe.

"It's exactly my size, thank you".

"You're welcome". Anika tied Ariana's hair into a ponytail and she applied light makeup on Ariana's face. "You're good to go" she smiled after she finished applying the makeup on Ariana's face.

"Thank you so much" Ariana hugged Anika.

"You're welcome".

"I'm going to be late for my date" Ariana panicked, she has to clean her room and arrange her clothes before leaving the house.

"You can go to your date, I'll help clean up" Anika said.

"Really?"

"Sure".

"Thank you so much, you're my life saver".

"Have fun".

"Will do!" Ariana exclaimed and she rushed out of the house.

Ariana hurriedly took a cab to her workplace, she's late and she's sure that Jeff must be waiting for her. She arrived at the coffee shop around 6pm. Jeff's jaw dropped when he saw Ariana, she looks very beautiful.

"Whoa..." he was speechless.

"Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late" Ariana apologized with a smile on her face. "Jeff, Jeff!" She snapped her fingers.

"Uh, it's okay". Jeff stammered, she's just so beautiful, she's like a goddess.

"Are you okay?"

"Sure, you look amazing by the way" he smiled.

"Thank you".

"Let's go" he held her hand and they left for the cinema.

"Have some tea Alexa" Jack smiled.

"No I'm okay. I came over because I had something to discuss with you" Alexa dropped her cup of tea.

"What is it?"

"It's about Zach's engagement".
