CHAPTER 70

Emerson pov

"How was the party arrangement?" I asked the person on the other line of the phone.

"It’s all perfect." She said. "You and that girlfriend of yours are the last touch for it to become mother’s dream birthday party." She continued, making it sound so dreamy. "So make sure that you'll come." she added.

"I'll be there Emerald." I said to my one and only sister. "I'm always present in mother's party." I added, shrugging. Emerald arrived in the country last week for mom's birthday. She's studying in Europe to become one of famous Chefs as what she would like to put it. From the moment she landed, I was told by Dylan that she continuously bragging about who the caterer is how was the food, the tables and the place so I told him to make Emerald as the organizer, so she won't be asking any questions.

She groaned. She doesn't want me calling her Emerald. "Hera." She corrected.

"If you're Hera to your French friends. You'll always be our Emerald." I said to her.

"Oui!oui!oui! Bye. Love you and see you." She said before hanging up on me. I shook my head.

How can I explain to my mother that I don't have a girlfriend?

I took a bath when I called Emerald so I'm gonna change before you guys drool over my body. I smirk at myself.
I entered in to my walk-in closet and get a 3 piece black suit and white long sleeves.

While I am changing my clothes, I thought of Love. If that did not happened, I wonder what she'll wear tonight. How will she look and how it felt to be escorting her again. I remember her wearing the dress when we had dinner, during her ex's wedding. She's really gorgeous. But this time, she won't come.

Because of the act that you put.

When I look at the mirror and satisfied on what I see, I pick up my wallet and put it on my pocket.

When I went at my bedroom's door, I pick the car key hanging along side with the other keys. I'm gonna use my black Porsche.
I sigh. How I hope she's with me.

Last night was a crazy night. I was so desperate to have a woman to accompany me to this party that I almost thought of contacting Crizza. When I woke up, my brain became normal again.

I'll just come up something.
Say, my supposedly date had migraine?
Or sick?

Or busy? I groaned, feeling more frustrated than last night.
As I went inside my car I pick up my phone and call someone. I wish this person would help me come up with something. An alibi.

"Yes? Did you miss me?"

"No." I replied. "I really need your help." I said.
"Oh! Emerson, I think I know what you need." My friend said. "And as for the answer, I already called a friend of mine and she's willing to be your girlfriend for the night." He added.

"What's her name and how much do I need to pay her?" I asked, staring the ignition of my car, put my phone on Bluetooth and put my earphones. I maneuver and went to exit.

"You don't need to pay her; she's doesn’t need of your money. She came willingly." He said.

"What's her name?" I asked.

"You can call her, France." He said.

"France? What?" I asked.

"I'm sure you can come up with a surname." He said. "She said, she won't speak so you're the one to tell your parents about her background." He added.

"Okay. Thanks man." I said before hanging up my phone.

Love pov

I look at my reflection on the mirror in front of me as Tony put a diamond stud on my ears.

"There." Tony said, as he looks at me in the mirror. "You're going to knock the women at the party even without smiling." He added. "But make sure you smile." He finally said.

"Yes. Yes. Thank you." I said to her as I once again look at the mirror to see my reflection.

My dress perfectly fit’s me as what I expected. It has silver and crystals around the web like on the neck line. The back of the dress is not open but you can see the skin but it has full of crystal details. I paired this nude dress with a nude pointed Chanel shoes. It was a birthday present for me last year. Tony fixed my hair with a perfect curl and has it up, leaving some of hair strands at both sides.

"We think you're ready." Tony said while nodding. I smiled to them.

"Thank you, Tony. You're really the best makeup artist." I replied as I hugged my two friends. Venus isn't around because she said she needs to have some time alone with JC. That's fine with me. No heart feelings.

"Escort's here!" Celine shouted from the outside door.

"Let me get my purse first." I shouted back before grabbing the silver purse on my bed side table and opened the door.

When I opened it, I saw Celine and Jem kissed but they instantly get out with each other. Yes I am absolutely shocked. I mean yes, I know that there is something between these two because I saw how they looked at each other but it’s the first time I saw them like this.

"Well? Can somebody please tell me what's going on?" I said, crossing my arms.

Celine groaned but Jem just gave me a smile. "They're already dating." Tony interrupted. Celine gave him a growl.

I chuckled. "We just started dating." Celine said. "I'll tell you tomorrow." She added before pushing me to the door.

"It’s my apartment, why are you pushing me away?" I said, teasing her more.

"Yes yes I know that. Go now so you won't be that late." Celine said.

"Okay fine."

"Take care of Love." Celine said to Jem.

"Yes my love." Jem said before he walks behind me.

"You have lots of explaining to do." I said, shaking my head.

"Yes maam!" He said as he guides me in his car.
