CHAPTER 39

CHAPTER 39

When I look at myself in the full length mirror, I didn't even recognize my own self.

I know, I always put mascara, lipstick and sometimes powder when going to the office. But today? I really look like I'm going to attend the red carpet.

"You look so elegant, Love." Tony said.

Then Venus and Jeffrey came in. " Oh my gosh, Love." Venus said as she runs to me. "You look so gorgeous." She said while holding my arms.

I can't contain my happiness so I just smiled. "Thank you everyone." I said.

Venus is wearing a peach dress with silver blazers and matching shoes. She also started to grow her hair again because the cancer is slowly dying. She told me that her new place helped her a lot because the air she always breathes is fresh unlike here in New York.

Celine also walks in and hugs me. She's wearing a gray floor length dress with matching clutch.

They're all going to attend the wedding. "We'll be here to support you and whoever your escort will be." Tony said.

I smiled. If only they knew who it will be.

Now what am I wearing? Haahahhaha.. Let's check it out again.

This gown was chosen by Martha a few nights ago with Emerson's approval of course. I don't know how to properly describe it but it looks so innocent yet elegant. I didn't think that it would be nicer when wearing.

I just added pearls on my ears as per Martha said.

My make up isn't too much. Pink lipstick, light eye shadows and false eyelashes. Tony also curled my hair. He said I look different whenever I curled it. She set it effortlessly.

"That mirror might shatter into pieces if you won't stop staring at yourself." Tony teases.

"Why would I stop looking? The woman I'm staring at is so beautiful; I don't think I might be able to unglue my eyes on her." I replied then they laugh.

The door bells "Looks like your mystery escort is now here?" Said Celine as we all went out of my room and went to the living room.

"I'll open it." I said.

"Don't." Celine said. Then they all agreed. Why? I don't know.

"Let me open it. I want to see him first." Tony said as he approached the door. He walks like he's in a Victoria's Secret fashion show so we all laugh.

"Hide her, so it would be dramatic." He added. Then they all blocked my way.

Then I heard him opened the door and gasp. "Good evening." Said by the other guy. His voice is very different it’s like he's not Emerson.
"Are you Love's escort?" Tony asked. He didn't even ask who he is. I shook my head but then I smiled.

"No sir. I am here to escort her friends to the church." The other man said.
After hearing him, the people in my front unblocked me. "Come on in." I said.

"Jayson" I said.

"Yes ma'am." He said, smiling. "I was told to escort your friends to the church so he would be the one to pick you up." He added.

I nodded. "So it looks like you'll be there first." Then they just smiled.

"Did he rent a car?" Tony asked. I elbowed him causing him to ouch.

"Why do you have to ask that?" I asked whispering.
I feel so humiliated right now because of that question he just fired. Jayson smiled.

"No sir. My boss doesn't want renting cars. “Jayson replied.

"So we are going to be like the foods in the can? You know? Like sardines." Tony replied.

This time I smack his arm and he flinched. The others laughs, Jayson chuckled.

"Are you out of your mind?" I said to Tony. Then looking back at Jayson who's smiling a lot.

"I am really sorry Jayson, he's just so ambitious." I said while rolling my eyes on Tony.
"That's fine Ms. Guildings." He said to me. "And as for your question sir." He said looking to Tony. "I'm really sure you all will fit in the limousine." He added and smiled.

They all gasped at the same time but then like a pro, they all regained their selves fast.

"Okay. Let's go." Tony said, walking and then they looked at each other and run like children.

"I am really sorry for what Tony said." I said to Jayson since they all left.

He shook his head and smiled. "It's okay. They're cute. "He replied.”Mr. Triumph will be here in 5 minutes." By that he said his goodbye and shuts the door.

Not later than 5 minutes, I heard a knock.

I sighed deeply so I could calm myself from being so nervous but then like an earthquake that you want to end, it still has an aftershock.

When I opened the door, I saw him. Emerson. He looks so freaking gorgeous in his suit. His tie is a silk white. Like the shade of my dress.
He's looking at me so intently that I felt so nervous about his eyes. It’s' so full of colors. Then I cough intentionally.

Then he chuckles. "I'm sorry. I was taken a back because of your beauty." He said, still looking at my eyes.

I know I'm blushing again. "You're so corny." I tease. It's the only way to soften the conversation a little bit. And it's the only way to make my blush disappear.
"You know what? I might have to repeat it again later so they will see how you blush just like now." This time Emerson teases.

He escorted me on to his black limousine. When I look at him to ask, he stopped me.

"I know what you're thinking." He said while he opens the car's door for me.

Such a gentleman.

"I smiled at him and say "Oh! You're a mind reader now. Well... ? What am I thinking anyway?" I tease.

"You we're going to say that I shouldn't have to bring a limousine to attend the wedding." He says confidently.

"Is that so?" I asked and he nodded.

We are now sitting inside the car. I am getting nervous every possible stop light I could see.

"Don't look so nervous, Love." Emerson said out. He's looking outside the window as he speak.

"I'm not." I say.

"Yes you are." He said now looking directly in my eyes. "Look at your hands then." He said pointing on my shaking hands. "See?" He added.

"Whatever." I replied and he just chuckled.
He really likes to chuckle.
The ride was so silent, I can even hear my heart beating and the atmosphere is so overwhelming. I don't know if it's because of Emerson's or the fact that every move of the car means we're getting closer to Megan's wedding.

Their wedding will be held on one of the resorts not far from New York City so it won't be a long drive.

I closed my eyes and tried to relax myself when someone poked me and when I opened it, I directly saw those set of very light brown eyes.

I cannot move nor speak. It's like his eyes are talking and taking me into another world. The world of magic. Yes, I know. Like Disney.

Then suddenly Emerson coughs and arranged himself. "We're here."
And like a thunder, I instantly arranged myself. I am getting nervous.
"You can do this." Emerson said while looking at me.
I just nodded.

"Look at me." He ordered.
He looks in my eyes and held my hands. "Don't forget that I'm here and that I am your boyfriend." He said. You're my boyfriend?

"I mean, we need to make it looks like we're happy like REAL couples." He added and smiled.

"Oh!" I exclaimed and made me jump. "Yes yes. That's right." I said.

How can I be so idiot! I was the one who told Megan that he's my boyfriend. How can I even forget?

"And...... We're getting a little more attention here since we're not yet stepping out the car." He added.
When I look outside, people are looking at us. Actually, most of these people are part of our family.
