Jessica’s point of View
She lead us to another section totally different from the first one I shopped before, I was looking around the red dress here, there were all stunning, Xavier picked one up and gave to the girl, I collected it and went into the changing room.
My jaw dropped when I was done, okay this looks a little too much,
“Xavier, am not wearing this”
“Why, it certainly will suit you, come out first let me see you ”
And I did and his jaw dropped,
“What the….”
The dress was open from the neck to the navel, and the back too, it tightened at the waist, hip and knee and then had an A shape from the knee down, it’s good for a dinner date,
“Nope, change it, am having none lay their eyes on you angel”
“Let me get another dress sir”
“No, we are taking it but it’s not for the party”
“Okay sir”
I blushed hard that my face can pop like a heated egg if touched, I changed into another dress he choose, this one was an off the shoulder, long sleeve lace, tightened at the curves, waist, hips, it formed an A shape at the laps and flowed down, the material was soft and the lace sleeve close half of my palm except my fingers.
I came out again and Xavier nodded in agreement, I smiled at him and went inside to wear my own cloths, he choose a black heels with a black purse studded with black shiny pearls, he bought a black tuxedo with red tie, we got jewels to match my dress and the girl said she is also a make up artist so he booked her up.
We were leaving after we were done when I spotted a beautiful gold and white dresses, I thought of my aunt and immediately took them in her size and heels with bags to match.
I also got some facial products and a while make-up set for her and we went home, she wasn’t back yet, she wanted to pack into her house but I insisted on her staying for a while with us.
I went into her room and dropped the gifts for her on her bed before leaving, I went to the kitchen to make food for everyone, it has become my favourite hobby, to make food for them, once am done, I came out to set the table,
“Everyone food is rea…”
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”
“Aunt! Aunt!!”
I rushed up to the stairs to know what’s wrong, she stood there with her hand over her mouth and tears in her eyes, she hugged me immediately she took notice of me,
“You nearly gave me a heart attack, I thought something happened to you ”
“Am fine baby girl, thank you for this dress, I wanted them the day I went to the mall but it was expensive ”
“Woah, then your heart must have whispered it to me”
“Thank you ”
“No problem, you are my family so am taking care of you ”
We hugged each other and I left after telling her to hurry up and come to the dining or we are eating without her, she giggled and nodded.
“Seems like someone liked the surprise ”
“Yes and she was thankful, we need to eat up, the party will be starting at 10 o’clock pm ”
“Yes, I know, Mike and Blac are ready already ”
“Good, Annette will be here around 8: 30 pm so I just have 20 more minutes including you”
We are food and went upstairs to prepare, aunt and grandfather sat by the chimney Joking around and playing chess my worst game ever.
It didn’t take up time before we were ready to go, we had talked with Mike and he said that Blac had provided them an inside man who is working as a waiter to aid them, Blac, always smart.
He had come earlier to install a type of ear phones that requires wiring inside our cloths, if I didn’t know he did it, I wouldn’t have noticed I had something on me,
“Are you ready babe”
“Always”
We drove off to the party taking Xavier’s car, the most expensive and exclusive one of all.
The party was in full swing when we arrived, they were treating this party like a royal ball, names were announced as one came in and when ours was announced everywhere became silent save the live bands playing, I wasn’t surprised because everyone knows about the animosity between Xavier and Marcus, I looked around trying to sight Marcus but it was hard, he probably is somewhere with some woman as he had a reputation of doing.
We went to the seat designated to us, people as usual came to greet us, I was so tired of smiling that my cheeks and jaw is now aching,
“Jessica, did you see Marcus father anywhere, be discreet as you scan everywhere ”
A voice ( mike ) said through the ear phones, looked around as if admiring the design and extravagant decorations they did, I haven’t seen anyone at all from that family.
“No, none of them are here”
“Okay, look forward, you see the guy bringing in the cake?”
“Yes I do”
“Good, he is out guy, he has a twin, he is not employed here but once he goes missing, the twin will replace him so as not to arose suspicions”
“Okay, what should I do?”
“Once the whole family is there in the hall signal to him so he will start acting immediately, don’t worry the CCTV are already in Blac’s hand”
“Okay, no problem ”
I relaxed back into my seat, I don’t think I will or can smile anymore because am tired, I may have face paralysis from it if I don’t stop.
Xavier looked at me worried but I smiled and held his hand under the table to let him know am okay, he resumed chatting with the next guest, as he squeezed my hand…
