Chapter 26: Pretty Little Black Dress

Wake up you lovebirds!" Said A loud voice, followed by a helicopter's roar.
"You have some balls Jordan" whispered whom I presume to be President Aaron,his voice all musky sounding like some thick hot steamy chocolate. I must be hungry ,nope I need Coffee as soon as possible.
"Hey, morning Anna" this time around it's not reincarnation, I must be in heaven because an Angel just called me "Anna" in the most sensational way. President Aaron never calls me Anna,I smiled and let out a little satisfied moan and hugged his hard torso harder and pecked him on the cheeks.
"Is this a beard Angel…?" I giggled
"Miss Anastasia,it seems like you had a wonderful night" Wait, what.
"Jordan?!" I opened my eyes and looked around and I had to laugh out loud while President Aaron pushed me out of the chair making me fall on the sandy beach.
"Nice pajamas President Aaron"
"You didn't see this yesterday night?"
"It was dark and you look so bright" I laughed. All the awkward feelings from the moment some minutes ago are gone.
"You had an interesting night, no doubt"
"It was hell, Miss Anastasia snored loudly throughout" and I couldn't even argue knowing that I do snore, once in a while.
"Yiddish!" I groaned following him behind towards the helicopter with Ava and Dior waving and wagging at us while Jordan stayed back laughing so hard.
Of course,he planned all this!
It just occurred to me but I honestly enjoyed myself ,can't complain. I smiled hugging Ava and Dior as we flew back to the airport using the helicopter,to the private jet and finally back home.
"Please send me those pictures, my friend Jennifer will starve me to death if I don't show her"
"You have a friend,all the Jennifer's I have dated are pretty. I have no doubt she will too…" He winked at me before tapping my arms,gave Ava a hug and President Aaron a small wave which he returned with a straight bored expression.
*****
"Welcome home, best girl! I have been waiting for you!" Jennifer came hugging me the moment I came in through the door.
Dior whimpered and she released me ,making Dior drop down and run to his pouch while she dragged me to the sofa.
"Before you say a word.My gifts and postcards?"
"Oops,oh my goodness. I was so caught up in the romance of Maldives that I forgot!" I was frightened ,closing my mouth with a sad expression.
"I am sorry but you have to leave this house" she said, turning and crossing her arms.
"Okay, I will get going then" I said slowly standing up and heading for the door.
"Dior stays!" Laughed out my tummy the moment I stepped out of the door as I picked up the 3 gift shopping bags I hid behind the doors.
"Come here,you swan! We are going to be together forever!" She hugged me before noticing the bags.
"Surprise!" I waved it smiling at her and she hugged me before we went back in on the sofa. I visited her about everything that happened in Maldives while she unboxed her presents.
"Whoa, this looks exotic " she said, looking at a fancy seashell mug before unwrapping the sunhat.
"I'm glad you like it!"
"Promise me you will take me along next time" she winked ,going to bring us both chilled orange juice.
"Next time…?" I asked with a confused look.
"...you need to be on birth control and your wedding is going to be so super best girl" she said sounding all excited.
"Are you even hearing what I have been saying?"
"Well yes ,the fact that there wasn't any kissing…" she said, taking my phone and putting it on my face which automatically u locked it.
"Let me see the pictures…"
"Jordan is going to send it from his camera…"
"The nerve of him…"
"You know Jordan?"
"Your ex just sent you an invitation to the state awards night, obviously he is amazing at receiving. This must be the handwork of the minister…"
"Who is that?"
"His girlfriend's father of course" she answered sounding irritated
"I am not going, delete the invite"
"Hey, take a shower and change. We have shopping to do"
"Hey, I said I am not going and besides I used my whole savings to get you these gifts. Maldives is expensive…" I whispered
"That arrogant man didn't pay for it?"
"Hey ,he didn't even know. He is on his gadget 90% of the time. Besides, you know I don't leech off people…"
"Thank you so much but we still need to go shopping. I don't want them thinking they won or something…"
"Okay, okay fine" I went around and came back 30 minutes later Hoping that something different had gotten Jennifer's attention but no, she was fully dressed and waiting for me.
"Do we have to? I have forgiven him really"
"Yes, it's a necessity and besides I need to be your plus one . I might meet some Agent or producer over there ,who knows where my luck lies?" It will be hard to convince this feisty young woman.
"I don't have money to afford a luxurious dinner dress"
"We will return it,just don't take off the tag" she winked at me. Tapped her hands as the lights went off.
"How do you know about the tag thing, I recently knew about it…"
"It's one of the survival rules of my upcoming fashion star and social media influencer Anna" she rolled her eyes as we took the taxi to Zara Plaza ,towards the evening gown session.
Happy for the distraction,which is the main reason I agreed to this, I am tired but then I need something to take off the picture of Mr Cocky and arrogant president in SpongeBob pajamas looking all cute from my head.
"This dress too tacky ?"
"But it will show off my really long legs"
"That's not elegant. We want you to look classy , sophisticated with a tiny tease" she said running through clothes.
"What about this one?" She threw a white see through at me.
"Everyone will literally see my naked body on this"
"That's the point sis, you can see but you can't get it!" She winked ,I shook my head "No"
"What about this red?"
"Too shouty and you aren't the host"
We both sighed and turned to look at a showcased black evening gown at the same time.
"We have found the one"
"You are the one ,pretty little black dress!"
