Chapter 110: Dress up
Lily’s POV
It was exactly six pm on the clock and I still did not have a dress for tonight. Leave it to me to do everything last minute.
I wasn’t just about having the dress, I didn’t even know what type of dress I wanted. I didn’t know what look I was aiming to go for. Whether I wanted to look casual, or hot and sexy or just cute or classy and simple or like professional and serious. I didn’t know at all. I was in a dilemma. The one thing I knew was that I needed a dress. That was should count as something right?…
I had browsed through my wardrobe but I couldn’t find anything, I had even sent out some maids to go shop for me. They had been sending pictures of dresses to me but I didn’t like any. Currently, I was lying on my bed with my legs hanging in the air as I scrolled through different sites for dresses.
It was exactly thirty minutes after when a picture of a dress popped up. The maids had sent it to me. At first I wanted to say no to the dress because it was not something I would usually wear or be comfortable wearing, but then I thought to myself, who cares, nobody’s watching. Even if they are then fuck them. .
I had grown tired of being insecure of my body, especially now that motherhood had given me some weight. I was going to wear whatever I wanted because the body was mine and I’m sure as hell know that some bitches be wishing they had a body like mine
The dress was gorgeous. It looked like it was carved out of a dream. So I couldn’t say no because a little skin was showing. Immediately, I asked them to bring it over quickly so I can get ready.
I rushed into the bathroom and took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I got out in record time and began doing my hair and makeup. I decided to curl my hair and let it down, but for my make up, I decided to do something other than the usual. I went for a bold and sexy look, I even got on the bold red lipstick. I guess the look for tonight was bold, confident and sexy.
Thankfully, Rose and Ross were already sleeping soundly in their crib. At least I didn’t have to run around trying to get ready with my children fussing and crying at the same time.
I was half way done with my make up but my hair was pulled up in a messy bun. But still I wasn’t behind schedule I guess. I looked at my children again and sighed in content, what could possible go wrong?.
And that was it, curse my luck. I ran over and picked up Ross as a piercing cry came from him almost immediately. I tried to soothe him quickly to avoid waking his sister but I wasn’t so lucky. Soon enough, Rose joined in and it was a cry battle. Who could cry the loudest.
I rushed down to the kitchen and placed Ross down but still holding on to Rose wit one hand. I tried to use the other to prepare their bottles but it wasn’t an easy. I’m pretty sure my make up was smudged at this point. I was a mess.
I had tried to fix one bottle when Ross kicked it down with his feet. I almost lost my mind before the door bell rang. I ran with hope that the maids were back, carrying my two children wailing in my arms.
“Oh thank God you’re …” I said pulling the door open, but to my surprise it wasn’t the maids but Alex and Daniel at the other side of the door. Alex had a scowl on his face but it softened when he saw me.
“You don’t look okay.” Daniel pointed out. “Let me help you.” He said carrying Ross from my hands.
“Thank you.” I smiled softly moving aside to let them in.
“Is it seven already?.” I asked flashing a look of panic at Alex.
“Yeah but it’s alright..” he waved me off. “Let me have her”. He offered gesturing to Rose.
“Okay.” I responded, handing Rose over to her father. “I was about to make their bottle, they’re both hungry.” I explained rushing to the kitchen.
“It’s alright, you can go and get ready. We’ll handle it.” Daniel offered with a soft smile. “Right?.” He turned to Alex and he nodded in agreement.
“Are you sure?. I can just quickly prepare it.” I pressed looking around in panic.
“Of course, go ahead.” Alex added with a reassuring smile.
“Okay. You know how to make the bottle right?.” I asked with raised brows.
“Of course I do.” Daniel responded rolling his eyes.
I narrowed my eyes at Alex. “I’ll just uhm, follow his lead.” He rushed out trying to avoid my eyes.
“Right.” I said with a small smile. “Thank you, I’ll be ready soon.” I said as I rushed out.
I was almost at my room when I remembered something and turned around. “Do you know..?”. I paused as I watched them in the kitchen.
“You’re both hungry huh?.” Alex said in a soft voice. He was carrying both Ross and Rose now while Daniel made their bottle. They had both quieted in his arms, I don’t know how he did it.
“You both should learn to be patient with your mum Mm?, she knows you’re hungry alright.” He added with a soft smile.
‘Mum?.’ I guess that was me and he was their daddy. He looked so adorable acting all daddy with his children.
I had finally gotten the opportunity to have a close at Alex. He was dressed nicely in a white Lon sleeved shirt and a black leather jacket over it. He wore a red tie, plain corporate trousers and a black shoe. His look was in between causal and professional. He looked dashing all the same.
I turned to Daniel who was making the second bottle. He on the other hand was dressed in a very comfortable outfit. I had never seen him dress like this. He was wearing a blue washed jean, a white plain polo shirt and a white and grey sweatshirt over it. He looked so much younger and even more handsome.
“Alright, here it is.” Daniel said as he handed a bottle to Alex and carried Rose from him to feed her.
I watched them both feed each of my babies with a smile on their faces. In a way, both of them looked alike, perhaps it was because Alex’s real father was Daniel twin, but I think that is not the only reason.
I feel like naturalization also comes into play, based on the fact that they Alex grew up with Daniel as a father figure.
I watched them for a while in silence before going into my room to finish getting ready.
I touched up my make up and began curling my hair. I had began putting on my jewelry when i heard a soft knock on the door.
“We have the dress.” The maid said with a grin as I opened the door.
“Thank you.” I responded softly.
“Let me help you with that.” She said as she helped me into the dress.
I gasped as I saw myself on the full length mirror. Gosh, I looked stunning. The red dress was sleeveless, hugging my upper body and also spilling a good amount of my goodies. The dress had a few roses on the upper part of the dress, with a cinched waist and the lower part was printed and flowed down until just beneath my ass.
It was really gorgeous. I had on some gold jewelry, black heels and a small black purse. Once I was satisfied with my look, I took my things and went down to the issuing room.
“Fuck!.” Alex cursed as soon as he set his eyes on me. “You look…”. He paused, running his eyes over me. “Breathtaking”. He said quietly.
“You look beautiful darling.” Daniel said with a wide smile.
“Thank you.” I responded to Daniel, ignoring Alex.
“Are they okay?”. I asked referring to the twins.
“Yes, they’re asleep”. Daniel responded.
“Goodnight my babies.” I said quietly as I kissed them both.
I turned to Alex who was still staring at me with his mouth agape. “Are you going to stare at me all night or what?.” I snapped with raised brows.
“If I could, I would.” He said with a smug smile.
“Can we leave already?.” I snapped cat walking to the door with Alex hurried footsteps behind me.
Dinner awaits us…
