EPISODE SEVENTEEN.
“A ball? He didn’t tell me anything about it.”I stutter dropping the turning spoon.
Stefano is taking me to a party?
Me?
What came over him?
He clearly told me that I’m not attractive enough.
“I know. We need to get you dress up. The code is blue.”
“I… I… I don’t have any dresses.”
“I’m taking you out to get them. He booked a reservation for you already. Go wash yourself up.”She hasten me up.
It’s almost 5PM. I turn off the gas and report to Stefano’s Mom. She seems delighted that I’m following her son to a party.
I still don’t know the reasons why he chose me.
I’m not good enough for him.
Labrinth took me to the most popular store. The best fashion designer there was the one who attended to me.
We tried lots of dresses but they couldn’t fit into my hips. I was already getting tired when she brought the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen. It’s stoned with pure diamond and extremely short.
It’s a sleeveless dress, I collect it from her and walk to the mirror to check it out.
“I think this will fit into you.”Labrinth says to me but I doubt it, Even if it fits into me, it will probably reveal all my cleavages.
“I don’t think so. Maybe I should go for another cool color.”
“You have such a tiny waist. Getting another dress will be a hassle.”She persuades checking her time at intervals.
I took off my bra slowly and slipped myself into the dress. The dress is already designed with bra cups.
It was my perfect size, But extremely short. It didn’t reach half of my laps and due to the corset, A reasonable part of my breasts is visible.
“You look so hot. Stefano will definitely fall head over heels for you today.”She compliments.
“It’s too short. I…”
“I will make the payment on the counter. Thanks for your help.”Labrinth cut me off, referring to the lady who’s already tired.
I put the dress off my body, She collected it and packed it inside a fashionable bag. I wore my clothes bag quickly and left with Labrinth.
Getting home, she prepared a special bath for me, I stayed inside the bath tub for more than an hour. By the time I got out, I couldn’t believe this was my body.
Since I have firm skin despite my roundness, My body glowed beautifully under the soft light in the bathroom.
Labrinth walk up to me with a towel. “How’s Stefano able to sleep with this in that house? Christ. If I’m a man, I won’t take chances anymore. You’re so beautiful.”She compliments touching my wet hair.
“Thanks for taking care of my body.”
“I probably did nothing. You already have glowing skin before.”
After drying my hair, She trimmed the sides carefully and styled it in a high ponytail touching the butts.
“You have long hair. I’m so jealous”She says dramatically, staring at me through the mirror.
“Your hair is beautiful too.”
“Don’t mock me. They are falling out day by day.”She huffs curling the edges slowly.
She pulled out two nipple covers from her small bag and taped it on my perky large boobs slowly.
“The dress is netted, Even though the boobs area was covered with lace, I don’t want to take chances so you won’t get embarrassed.”
“Thank you.”I mutter, staring at the soft material on my breasts.
I slipped the gown through my legs up to my body and zipped it up.
I’m glad the corset is a comfortable one, I could sit properly without feeling stuffy. I hope Stefano won’t have a problem with my dress.
She wore silver heels on my legs. “You said you’re not comfortable with fixed nails.”She huff, staring at my bare nails.
“Yes. I don’t like them.”
“You’re good to go. Stefano is outside already.”
“Will he be okay with this dress?”
“He loves women in short gowns. They are easy to pull up. Every man loves it.”She grins.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”I blush, staring at myself through the mirror.
Luca was the one in the living room with Mom when I stepped down the stairs.
“I’m ready.”I announced shyly.
They turn to me at once, A gasp leaves Luca’s mouth while Stefano’s Mom stares at me in awe.
Do I look that bad?
“Jesus Christ. I really can’t keep myself from hitting on you.”Luca compliments.
“Stop flirting with my daughter-in-law”She warns, smacking his head.
“You’re so beautiful Christ.”Stefano’s Mom says to me.
She ran her hands down through my dress, smiling.
“You should wear dresses like this often. They look so good on you.”Luca added.
I blush, grabbing the hand he stretches to me.
I guess he’s the one leading me to the car.
“Do I look good? I really don’t want Stefano to freak out tonight. I don’t want to annoy him.”I say to him curiously as we both walk out of the house.
“You look fucking hot. I really don’t mind having you to myself if Stefano keeps on with this attitude.”He replies truthfully.
“But I don’t want to get killed. He hates when people touch his property.”He chuckles.
“I’m not his property.”
“You are. He just hates being vulnerable to women. His siblings and Mother are the only people who have seen the weak side of him after the unfortunate fate he had with someone years ago.”
“Is it that bad?”
“That’s why I don’t blame him for treating you like this. He can look brave to you but he’s fucking scared of loving you. Stefano hates doing love.”
“I…”
“Conversation close. We are close to the car already.”He shut me up softly.
I nods immediately and wrap my hands around his tighter.
I felt so nervous the moment he stepped out of the car.
Staring at me. I don’t know the expression on his face right now because I couldn’t look up to him.
He is dressed simply in a blue suit and black inner wear, His shoes glow expensively in the dark as he moves closer to us. Stefano will always look good no matter his style of dressing, He let his hair down freely touching his shoulder giving him the bad man’s look.
My eyes were on the floor until he talked.
“Get your hands off her you bastard!”He cursed Luca.
Gosh. Why does he hate it when he touch me?
The latter moves away from me dramatically and chickens away.
“I will go get dressed with Labrinth. She will be Marcos’ date tonight.”He yelled getting into the car with Labrinth hopping onto the passenger’s seat.
After Luca drove out of the house with the men, I was left with Stefano, who hasn’t say a word to me.
My hands were sweaty and shaking already until I felt his finger move up to my wrist to my bare shoulders.
He leaned closer to me, keeping his other hand to himself.
He didn’t say anything for some time. Stefano pulled away from me and sighs.
“If you don’t like the dress, I can get changed to a less revealing one. Labrinth told me to wear it.
“I like it.”He mumbled.
A blush crept on my cheeks the moment he finally said the words I’ve been waiting for him to say. He likes my dress. He loves it. He likes it.
Stefano opened the car door for me. His hands moved to my waist slowly. He lifted me off the ground like I weighed nothing and dropped me carefully on the seat.
Christ. His hands were so soft and pretty large, almost engulfing my tiny waist.
He dropped his hands on my bare laps, I moved back a little bit immediately, My skin tingle in an indescribable feeling as he bore his eyes into my body.
“We should start going.”I mumble, getting uncomfortable the way he stares at me.
I don’t want to hear bad words from him anymore. Not even tonight.
I won’t be able to handle it.
