Michelle, Melissa and Sophie could be seen in the living room, chatting. “I wish I could see the look on his face when he gets to know about the designs I did on his face.” Michelle says, having a mischievous look on her face.
“Yeah, I also wish I could be there.” Melissa concurs, sipping from her glass of orange juice.
“Michelle!! Michelle!! Michelle!!.” Xander’s loud thunderous voice resonated through the living room, as he marched inside.
“Oh geez, he is back.” Michelle drawls, setting down her glass of wine. Melissa and Sophie, kept quiet getting ready for the drama that will follow after.
“Michelle, what’s the meaning of this.” Xander growls at her, pointing at his face.
Michelle placed a hand on her mouth, stopping herself from laughing out loud. “Come on Xander, I just wanted you to look more handsome. Oh geez, don’t tell me you don’t like it.” Michelle takes a hurt face, staring at Xander open-mouthed.
Xander sighs rubbing the back of his neck, this is all his fault, he should never had invited a crazy girl into his life. “Give me one good reason, on why I should love what you did on my face. I just want one reason Michelle.”
Michelle placed her finger under her chin, pretending to be thinking. “Uhm, because it brings out the inner devil in you, like, it shows people the inner devil you have.”
Melissa and Sophie burst out in laughter, not being able to control themselves anymore. “Seriously, inner devil. Ohh geez, you are so hilarious, Michelle.” Melissa says in between laughter.
“Right now, I am to angry to banter words with you, so, I want you to get up on your ass, go into your room and get whatever I need to clean this up.” Xander orders.
“Actually, I did not get the needed things, I would use in cleaning the paint off your face.” Michelle informs him, looking anywhere else but him.
“What, you’ve got to be kidding.” Xander growled.
“Nope, I’m not kidding.” Michelle states, both Melissa and Sophie found it really hard to hold themselve from laughing, so they laughed out again.
“Oh, it’s funny, really funny. Paul!!.” Xander calls, Paul the butler rushed into the living room immediately on hearing his boss call him. “Paul, I want you to go meet my driver, tell him he should go buy some paint removal for me, here is the money.” Xander gives him the money, Paul takes it from him then left the room living room to go carry out his boss instructions.
“Awww, come on Xander, there’s no need for you to remove my wonderful painting. I’m really saying the truth, when I say it brings out the devil in you.” Michelle says pouting her lips. Xander groans inwardly, trying to restrain his self from disfiguring her pretty face.
“Michelle, all I’m going to tell you right now is, you should get ready, tommorow you’re coming with me to have dinner with the governor.” Xander informs her simply, too simply it shocked the hell out of Michelle.
“What the heck are you talking about? What dinner, are you talking about?.” Michelle asked, getting up from the couch she’s sitting on.
“Because you painted my face, and brought out the inner devil in me, the governor decided he wants to see my fiancee who did such beautiful designs, so you should be honoured you’ll be eating with him tomorrow night.” Xander answered her, already out of the living room, Michelle follows.
“I do not want to have any damn dinner, with any governor. I don’t want to follow you anywhere, Xander.” Michelle says from behind him.
“The feeling is mutual, I don’t want you following me anywhere, neither do I want you having dinner with the governor.” Xander says boredly, climbing the stairs.
“Then do something. If you don’t want me there, don’t take me there.” Michelle yelled, hoping to get some sense in his head and change the situation.
“It would be my greatest pleasure to do that, but I can’t. Michelle by 5pm in the evening, I want you ready. I’ll ask my designer to bring some female dress so as to get you ready.” He said in a final tone, giving no room for argument.
“Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you are not the boss of me Xander, and I’m definitely not going anywhere with you.” Michelle yelled out, stomping her feet on the ground frustrated.
“Technically, I am. After all, I did bring you to my house to serve me as a maid.” Xander yelled back at her.
????
“I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to do this. I’m not going anywhere with your brother, you can’t force me, he can’t force me, no body can force me.” Michelle utters stubbornly, sitting on her bed, her hands folded below her chest.
“Ugh, just stop being stubborn and put on the dress, look how beautiful it is. Geez, my brother must really want to impress the governor to get you this.” Melissa gushed, showing Michelle the beautiful white gown. Michelle looks up at the dress and instantly falls in love with the dress. She gets up from her bed, takes the dress from Michelle, “Let it be known that I’m only going with your brother to that stupid dinner because of this gorgeous dress, not because he is the boss of me.” Michelle states, then walks into the bathroom, had her bath, wore the dress then came out of the bathroom in the beautiful long white gown.
“Wow, you look so beautiful Michelle, I won’t be surprise if Xander starts drooling when he sees you.” Sophie gushed staring at her best friend in awe.
“Yeah you’re right, Sophie. My brother won’t be able to take his eyes off her.” Melissa concurs.
“I really want to ask what’s going on here but I won’t because all I want right now, is to start the dinner and end it.” Michelle says, eyeing the both of them suspiciously.
“Yeah yeah, whatever. Come sit, your face needs to be beautify.” Melissa grins, Michelle rolls her eyes. “There’s no way I’m putting on makeup, this is some dinner with Mr governor and not some date with your brother. I don’t know what’s going on inside the both of you head, but it needs to stop.”
“There’s absolutely nothing going on in my head, I just want you to look beautiful, is there anything wrong in that.” Melissa asks her frowning.
“If you ask me, I don’t think there is anything wrong with, you putting on makeup.” Sophie says, staring at the ceiling.
“I can see the both of you have gang up against me but guess what, you can’t make me put on makeup.” Michelle said stubbornly.
✨✨✨✨✨✨
Michelle grunts climbing down the stairs, even after she had repeatedly refused to wear make up, those two devil’s wouldn’t let her be. So here she is, climbing down the stairs with make up on.
Xander stares at his wrist watch repeatedly, looking up the stairs for any sign of Michelle. *Why does women have to take time in everything.* Xander thinks, groaning. The clicking of Michelle high heels on the tiles got Xander’s attention, he looks up, Lo and behold his eyes fell on a beautiful goddess in white.
“Xander! Xander!! Xander!!.” Michelle snaps getting him out his trance. “Yes, yes.” Xander answers blinking his eyes repeatedly.
“Can we go and get this night over with.” Michelle says walking past him.
“I can’t also wait to get this night over with.” Xander mutters ruefully, already regretting the whole thing.
??????
Xander drives in complete silence, Michelle looks out the car window, the car felt uncomfortably silence.
“Please turn on the radio.” Michelle requests, still staring out the window. Xander did as she requests not because he was obeying her but because he also dislike the silence in the car.
Xander hums to the unfamiliar upbeat music resonating from the radio, all of a sudden the car stops. Xander groans in frustration hitting the car wheel.
“What’s going on? Why did you stop the car?.” Michelle asked, staring at him confused.
“The fuel it’s finished.” Xander informs her sighing tiredly.
“What! How is that even possible, Xander, we are in the middle of nowhere, the fuel can not finish.” Michelle exclaims.
“Well, the fuel has finished. If we are not able to get help before the day darkens, then we will have to spend the night here.” Xander says.
“What! We can’t sleep here. Ugh. This is not happening.” Michelle utters resting her back on the car seat.
